Avery's Letter

Prices fin the cotton market today regis- tered total decline of around $5 per
 bale since about the fifth of the month. Spot cotton has declined in proportion
 but only in this way Spot dealers have reduced their limits as the future market declined, but holders have refused to sell. That is to say the belt raken as a whole is refusing to sell except at their own price and little or no business has been done. If holders will maintain this attitude, prices not long remain al. present levels
 The big operators of the so-called Waldorf Crowd the first part of the month were heavily long on the market, but the market had apparently reac1sd an impasse and seeing they could not push 1t up further. sold out and went short. The result of this has carried prices to present levels. and competent observers say their sales aggregate some 20O,0o0 This makes the technical position dangerous, as these contracts have gone into the hands of spinners who couldn't buy spots.
 The spot situation is the key to the whole business. If holders weaken and sell their cotton under 12 cents, which two months from now will be selling at 14 cents, they will have no >one to blame for it but themselves
 Keep your eyes on two facts that are the all important and ultimate price-fix- ing factors: First the smallest crop since

WHEAT DROPS UNDER
 PEACE POSSIBILITY.
Market Rallies Fail to Last and Close Shows
 Loss

Chicago, October 26.-Reports that Germany would soon offer terms of peace had good deal to do today with setback in the value of wheat. Ral lies failed to last and the market closed steady, Ss@s4c off. with December at $1.00as and May at sf02s4 a1.Oe7s. Corn
 gained 14 e ss to ss e lac; oats lost a
 shade to Is e Ac, and provisions fin
 ished 100 S271c down.
 Sharpst breaks in what followed
 quickly the receipt of news indicat- ing the possibility of a sudden end to
 hostilities In Europe Bearish tenden
 cies in the market were quite evident however before there was any hint of chance for peace. The unrespon- sive attitude of the Liverpool market, in view of yesterdays sharp advance on this side of the Atlantic had formed a material handicap to the bulls More over, excellent weather was predicted for the northwest and there were again reports that the Canadian duty would
 soon be removed. Another depressin 2 element lay in the fact that apparent falling off in receipts at the leading spring crop centers could be fully ex-
 plained as resulting from transient
 measures necessary to prevent conges- ton of railway terminal track. Reactions from the break after the
 peace news carried the wheat market
 upward for a time in lively fashion.
 Assertions were current that buying
 had set in for seaboard account, but
 these reports were not verified On the contrary, latest advices appeared to
 show that the export movement had

 huenced more or less by the nonsup- port of sterling exchange.
 Corn owed it's strength largely to an
 improved demand from the seaboard.
 Pessimistic field reports counted also
 against the bears
 Oats proved relatively weak Ship
 ping inquiry was not at all of an UT
 gent character.
 Declines in the hog market weak

 ward turn. but the break was checked
 by the purchase of 10000 tierces for

JANUARY COTTON
 SHOWS HEAVY LOSS
Break of $3.50 a Bale in the New York Market
 Yesterday

New York, October 26-After a com paratively quiet and steady early session. the cotton market became extremely ac- tive and weak under heavy general level of yesterday and closed at 1216c liquidation and local pressure. January contracts broke from 12.44c to 12.05c or more than ss.5o per bale from the high level of yesterday and closed at 12l6c. The general list closed steady at a net decline of IS to % points for the day
 The market opened steady at a decline of to 1. points under some overnight selling orders, but soon rallied on re- ports that southern spot holders had shown no weakness late yesterday. GOV ering by recent sellers and feeling thai yesterdays sharp break had strengthened the technical position.
 December contracts sold up to 12sIc and March to 12.6ic or about points over last nights closing figures during the middle of the morning, but at this level offerings seemed to become heavier. and as soon as the market weakened, the selling grew more general and az gressive.
 A gloomy view of the export situa ton was promoted by an easier turn in sterling exchange after a compara lively steady opening, while heavy New Or leans selling was accompanied by re- ports of an easier spot situation from both that city and Memphis. Stop or ders were uncovered as prices eased off, and the break carried December down to 11.9i, and March to 1225c or about sO points from last nights closing fig ures. The market then steadied on cov- ering and closing prices showed rallies or 10 or Il points from the lowest
 There seemed to be no change in southern crop news. but houses with German connections were credited with sel,ihs here and there appeared to be a feeling that. owing to the unsettled for eign exchange situation or the scarcity or freight room. exporters were hedging here rather freely against spot holdings for which there was no immediate for elgn outlet

WIDE DECLINE |NNEW
 ORLEANS MARKET.
Close Shows Heavy Net De- cline-Much Business
 Done

New Orleans. October 26.-Heayy liquidation of long contracts pressed on the cotton market today and caused one of the widest declines in several weeks. From the highest to the lowest of the session there was fall of ss To Il points. At the lowest the most active months were 25 to s3 points under yesterdays final figures. The close was at net decline of T. to 20 points. It was a day of great activ- ity around the ring and there was a large volume of business.
 Around the opening the market lost to ' points in sympathy with a poor Liverpool but this small decline met good buying which. for a time, the ring round difficulty in satisfying. Toward the middle of the morning the mark xet t reeovereq and went to s points over yesterdays close. This was the high or the day. Selling increased and the pise was lost At noon the market was at net decline of 15 to IT points and In the afternoon, on good weather news, the low prices for sterling ex- change and the lack of an export movement, the selling movement reached its height

FEVER|SHLY ACTIVE
 DAY IN STOCKS
Dealings Average 100000 Shares Per Hour in
 Forenoon

New York October 2e.-Greater breadth and a generally higher price level attended today's very active mar ket. although some of the more vol atile specialties were vulnerable to pressure and yielded in large part or whole before the close. Dealings in the forenoon averaged soo,oOo shares per hour, but slackened perceptiblye later. only to become feverishly active again toward the close at the expense of values
 The early high tendency embraced a number of standard rails and some of the low priced inactive shares of that group, for example the Wabash, Wheel ing and Lake Erie. Wisconsin Central and Lake Erie and Western issues. Transcontinentals were variably high CT. Canadian Pacific gaining almost 1 points, but grangers were backward.
 Fries once more led the railway di- vision, the common stock being the most active feature of the morning session. with further gain of over a point, while the first and second pre- ferred shares were higher in sym pathy.
 SpccldllleS were 1nIefm1ttentIy strong and weak, also the coppers, but it was noticed that larger offerings of the war shares occurred at recess sions. Automobile issues were in- clined to ease, except the Maxwell is- sues, all of which attained new high records. The common rose 1% to 92, the first preferred S1s to 103 and the second preferred 41a to 6S1a Later Maxwell common lost great deal more than its gain. closing with a net loss of A.
 Bethlehem Steel was heaviest of the high priced specialties. at one time showing a loss of 20 points at 560, but making full recovery at the close. Baldwin Locomotive. Crucible Steel, General Electric and New York Air brake were under the previous days finals.
 United States Steel resumed Its lead- ership in the afternoon, rising almost points to STA, but losing all but half a point on heavy offerings Failure of the directors to act on the dividend was in line with general expectations, but the corporation's earnings of $3S, : 710644 was slightly under popular es- inmates.
 Foreign exchange made some recov- cry from the weakness of the pre- vious day. mainly as a result of light sales of bills
 Bonds were steady on a reduced vol ume of business. Total sales, par value, aggregated $5,155,000. United States bonds were unchanged on call

of b points after a decline of nearly io points was due to some new investment buying and the idea that the short inter- est had been largely increased. The main. and practically the only basis for the decline, Is the fear of pressure from the south of spot cotton, the export of which is just naturally slow under the existing conditions. but which even now shows more cotton going to the continent than to Great Britain since August 1. An indication that the continent intends to take more cotton than would appear possible

Immigrants Revive Lace Making

A revival among the women of the Pol ish and Lithuanian colonies in the neigh borhood of the municipal recreation pier of their exquisite and almost forgotten art of lace making has come. During the summer mothers who have become interested in the lace making being taught their children by the director of the hand icraft classes on the pier have begun to attend the sessions and to take up again the lace making which they had aban- doned since coming to this country. These women are reviving the manufacture of many unusual and beautiful types of lace rarely seen in this country and they are to be found on the pier in almost as great numbers as the children.
