Y, April 24.--A jury in the United States court decided today in effect that the occupant of an auto mobile, injured by the breaking of a certain part of the car, can recover damages from the company which as- sembled and sold the automobile rather than from the manufacturer of the part that broke.

The manufacturers contended that if anyone was liable it was tine manufacturer of the wheel. This was a test case and the outcome was awaited by automobile makers throughout the country.

COTTON MARKETS.

NEW YORK, January 3.-The cotton
market Showed renewed weakness today,
with May and July deliveries selling well
under the lowest level reached on the
break of last month. Continued rU.nors
of bearish ginning returns and reports
that the south was selling contracts
against holdings of low-grade cotton
seemed to be largely responsible for the
break. but considerable covering de-
veloped around 1194 for May. and prices
recovered part of their loss, with the
close steady at net decline of . to )
points.
There appeared to be quite good many
overnight selling orders around the ring
at the start, and the market opened
barely steady at decline of 3 to
points. Owing to the continued holiday
in Liverpool there were no cables to in
fluence sentiment either way, and weekly
reviews of the dry goods trade seemed
rather more optimistic than otherwise.
There was very little demand in evidence,
however. and prices quickly sold off un-
der liquidation, southern selling and

people continue to buy January, but APP

while other spot interests We're sellers OF

ly against low grades in the interior,
and as prices worked lower few stop
orders were uncovered. After showing
net loss of to 10 points the market
steadied on covering, but trading was
relatively much less active on the rally.
Rumors that private ginning returns in
dictated a total ginning of not less than
13. 400, 900 bales to January / evidently

mated sales of print cloths at Fall River
for the week were considerably in ex-
