UNSETTLED
AND DECLINING
Heavy Liquidation on Fears of
Unfavorable War Conditions
Spots Lower,

The cotton market was weak and I'M
settled yesterday, and closed barely
steady, at net declines of IL to Is points.
Liquidation was general, and trading
was unusually active for a Saturday,
with the talk suggesting a much dis
turbed sentiment, owing to apprehen-
sions that submarine activity in the
recently extended naval war zone might
yet result in some check to shipping
or in unsettling political developments.
Weakness in Liverpool and New Or
leans over the local holiday, and re-
ports that New Orleans had been in
fluenced by an easier turn In the spot
situation, contributed TO the decline,
which carried prices into new low
ground for the movement. October con-
tracts sold at 9.11c, or the lowest
point reached since that delivery sold
at $500, in January. Houses with for
eign connections and local trade in
terests were buyers on the decline, but
slight rallies were not fully maintained,
and last prices were within a point or
two Of the lowest.
Exports on Friday were 5l,989 bales,
and at the close of the week there
were still 452,529 bales on shipboard
awaiting clearance, as compared with
$4,000 for the same week last year.
Southern spot markets were unchanged
to 3-16c lower, and the local spot mar
ket declined 10 points, TO S.56c for
middling upland; no sales. Local con-
tract prices:

RAILROAD EARNINGS.

Although there are some indications
Of trend toward betterment in the
gross earnings Of United States rail-
roads, the improvement is very slight.
the total of all roads making weekly
returns to "Dun's Review" that have
reported to date for January amount
ing 10 S32 ,396.0l9, a decrease of 1913
per cent, as compared with the same
month IN 1914. In the South the con-
traction on some roads is very pro-
rounced, but even here evidence point
ing TO improvement is not entirely
lacking. The tendency toward in
creased railroad activity is steadily be-
coming more noticeable in the West
and Southwest, for while only a few
roads make gains, the losses in most
important instances are not nearly so
large AZ a month ago.
Following are given gross earnings
OF United States railroads reporting for
January, and loss as compared with
earnings of the same roads for the cor
responding month a year ago; also for
roads that reported for the two pre-
ceding months, together with the per
centageE OF loss compared with last
year:

TO BUY ACCEPTANCES
Local Reserve Bank Hopes to
Start in Near Future.

Issuance by the Federal Reserve
Board Of regulations governing the
purchase of bankers acceptances based
on imports and exports have been anX-
iously awaited by the local reserve in
stitution because Of the additional OPP
portunity il will afford for investment
of its idle funds in readily market
able security. Pierre Jay, chairman OF
the board, said yesterday that the
bank had already received the neces-
sary authority to begin this business,
and In all probability dealings would be
begun in the near future.
Mr.. Jay said the rates which would
be charged on this class of bills OF ex-
change would be largely governed by
the prevailing market rates. Con-
corning the scope Of the acceptance
business OF the reserve banks through
out the country. he thought that at
first 1t would be limited chiefly to the
large creditor member banks.
Some disappointment was expressed
in banking circles because no mention
was made of domestic acceptances.
While 1t is known that for members of
the reserve system to buy and sell
this class Of paper an act OF Con-
gress will be required, II was felt, in
view Of sentiment among many bank
ers that the reserve act should be
broadened to include dealings of this
character. some reference should have
been made to the question.

CHICAGO WHEAT
PRICES COLLAPSE
Stoppage of Export Sales Causes
a Violent Breakdown and
Provisions Follow Decline.

Chicago, Feb. 13.-Wheat collapsed
in price to-day e15c bushel, the most
sensational break since the beginning
of the war. Almost complete arrest
of export sales had much TO do with
forcing speculative holders to unload
for a short time on gigantic scale;
Rallies followed, but the market closed
extremely nervous, 5b to SAC lower
than Thursday night. Other net losses
were: Corn, q to sc; oats, y to lie,
and provisions, 10 TO zoe.
Throwing overheard of immense
Eastern lines of future deliveries said
TO be owned by belated investors was
apparently what upset the wheat mar
ket. Recoveries from the early weak
ness were not of sufficient energy to
check q persistent recurrence of liqui-
dation, The smash, when it finally
did come, seemed to overwhelm the
bit, and there was no breathing space
before May had plunged to 81 %, a
fall of lie from the highest record

BANK CLEARlNGS.

While continuing to show some evil
dence of improving conditions, bank
clearings last week at leading cities in
the United States were again in moder-
ate volume, the total, according to"Dun's
Review" amounting to S2,12l,s30,9l5, a
decrease Of 1877 per cent, as compared
with the $2,45s, $780, 1888 Of the same week
last year. Considerable loss still APP
pears at New York City, the falling OF
at this centre being 1873 per cent, part
of which is doubtless accounted for by
the moderate volume of operations in
the stock and other speculative markets.
Tie total Of the cities outside New
York is 1913 per cent smaller than last
year, though Minneapolis and Kansas
City continue 10 make gains. Average
