News of the European conflict, while
suggesting that fighting is still going
on there, is far more meager than in
the earlier stages of the war. The
last of the week, the most interesting
feature, if warfare is interesting, of
the struggle was that Grand Duke
Nicholas, Commander in chief of the
Russian forces, planned to use a new
army in the Petrograde regions to
operate in conjunction with an army
advancing in East Prussia, Monday
great successes were reported for the
Russians. it being claimed that the
11th Turkish Corps with the excep-
ton of severe, Insignificant elements
had been annihilated On Tuesda.
the kilograms stated the Russians still
pursued the beaten Turkish Army,
while the French report named slight
gains in the west Slight changes
were recorded, yesterday, but the dis
patches bore the information that
England was startled by the appear
ance of a hostile air craft the evening
before. 1t passed over Yarmouth,
dropping bombs. doing considerable
damage to property and it is feared
causing loss of life.

COTTON DECLINES
UNDER LIQUIDATION
Prices at Close Are Barely
Steady, with Net Loss of
II TO 81 Points.

Cotton was easier yesterday under
scattering liquidation, which seemed to
be inspired by the circulation Of sddi-
tional January notices and rather a
less favorable view Of international
politics. March contracts sold of TO
1922, or 10 points net lower, and the
close wa. barely steady, at decline OF
from II to 81 points, compared with
Tuesdays final prices.
Liverpool was relatively steady, and
private cables reported Continental
buying, but the market here opened at
a decline of to points and worked
gradually lower. The January notices,
estimated at $500 bales. seemed to be
causing considerable Wall Street
liquidation, and while there were slight
rallies during the middle Of the day
prices reached the lowest point in the
late trading under increased offerings
from both Wall Street and local
sources. The small number of January
notices issued on the first notice day
seemed TO nave Dcell pal tAs ACSPOiSAD4 ~
for the advance Of the earlier week,
and while yesterdays tenders brought
the total up to only 1880 bales, it
seemed that the notices were allowed
TO circulate longer through the street,
and 1t was not until late in the after
noon that it was reported they had
been stopped by trade interests.
Owing to the wire troubles very lit
tie news was received from the South,
and the bulk of the trade here was sup
posed to be for local account. The buy
ing of March by brokers with foreign
connections which was the feature OF
the trading on Tuesday was not in evil
dence early yesterday, but developed
on the decline during the afternoon,
and II was estimated that between the
two days the purchases amounted 10
about $4,000 bales. In some quarters
this demand was believed to be for
German accounts, but others attributed
il to local interests, and one of the con-
lectures was that it represented cover
ing Of hedges against sales from the
local stock, shipment of which had
been delayed by transportation diff
culties. Exports for the day were
6,9s7 bales, making 2,262,O2o so far
this year. Range of prices:

they forced the railroads to learn ef-
teieney BY keeping from them as long
as possible the higher rates they sought
for years. Ii is noteworthy, however,
that these opponents Of the carriers are
not swift TO take the responsibility for
some other results Of their opposition.
They say nothing about the high rates

Foreign Selling Thinning Out?

The figures compiled by President
Loree of the Delaware & Hudson
Company relative to the amount Of
American securities still held abroad
did not pretend to be accurate, but
only roughly approximate. They were
published only weeK ago, but though
every effort had been made TO bring
them together as rapidly as possible
some Of them older still because the
collection of the statistics covered a
period of months prior TO August. It
Is to be presumed that to bring them
up 70 date there must be deduction
from the total Of at least half billion
dollars. 1t would not be surprising II
time showed that proper deduction
would have been quarters of a
billion. At any rate, the amount Of
foreign holdings has been largely re-
duced, and while II still seems TO be in
excess of n billion dollars las a mini
mum 1t Is not extravaganza 70 question
whether the stream Of liquidation may
not be petering out. This, in spite Of
the McKenna mobilization plan.
Lately, though Stock Exchange prices
have been attractive the offers Of
Americans" from foreign sources have
seemed to be less numerous. In no
event is II likely that Europe will
sweep her strong boxes bare Of Ameri-
can bonds and stocks. II is hardly un-
reasonable to suppose that the end OF
even another year Of war would find
her with between half billion and a
billion dollars worth of our securities
doggedly held for a nest-egg.
