ANOTHER BREAK
 IN COTTON PRICES
Nervousness Over Political Conditions Prevent Ma
 terial Improvement

New York July 9.-There was further liquidation in the cotton market today and another big break in prices with oo- toher contracts selling more than a per bale under the high level of last week The close was a few points up from the lowest on covering, but the final tone was easy at a net decline of 14 to 70 points.
 Liverpool did not fully meet yester- days local decline, shut after opening steady at unchanged prices to an advance of points the market here weakened under overnight selling orders and local pressure. On a break of some 10 9 points. there was some Liverpool buying. presumably under straddles at the wid- ened differences, while there was consid- erable covering and some buying for a reaction. This caused rallies of or 5 points from the lowest, but the close of the English market soon shut out the arbitrage demand, and prices then weak ened under renewed liquidation with the decline led by July contracts which points. This dip carried later deliveries about ls to IA points net lower, which at tracted renewed covering, but as was the case early in the day, small rallies brought out increased offerings, with Wall street and western houses among the more prominent sellers. Houses with continental connections also sold on the afternoon break, and before the decline was again checked October contracts touched 9osc, with the general list sell ing about % to 24 points net lower. A firmer turn in New Orleans helped to rally here during the last hour. when there was also considerable local cover ing. and little buying on the bullish weekend statistics, but favorable wealth CT reports, continued nervousness over political conditions and the late break in the stock market prevented any material improvement in the undertone.

STRICTER GUARD PUT
 ON Y. s. DOCUMENTS

from the WaShington Star.
 Special steps have been taken by Col onel Harts. superintendent Of the state, war and navy building. to afford better protection to the great mass of important records of the three departments housed in the big granite struetureN Extra pre- cautions to safeguard these records were made necessary by reports from different offices of the disappearance recently of various papers from the desks of officials. Many petty thefts have occurred in the building recently, and the heads fear that unless better protection is afforded more serious depredations may occur.
 II appears that most of the thefts have occurred during the absence of the of ficials and clerical employees between A;S0 in the afternoon, and o'clock In the morning.
 It is realized that too much care cannot be taken to guard documents pertaining to the foreign relations of the govern ment and the plans and records of the war and navy departments. especially documents relating to military and naval preparations for possible eventualities.
 This state of affairs has resulted in the issue Of strcter rules and regulations for admission to the building after office hours and of greater vigilance on the part of the regular employees during reg ular business hours.
 With view to securing greater effi- ciency from the force of watchmen, Col onel Harts has abolished the old system of fixed posts except at the main entrance to the building, and has substituted a systematic patrol of all parts of the big

New York, July 9.-Dun's will say to- morrow:
 Uniform progress is not to be expected at this period when inventoryng and the advance of the vacation season tend to produce quietness in various mercantile lines. It is significant of the economic changes resulting from the war, however, that industrial conditions do not reflect the usual mid-year Hull, and all indications point to fully sustained activity through out the summer months Instead of showing the customary abatement. indus trial operations steadily expand, and each week there is a further reduction in the percentage of idle machinery and number of unemployed. This Is a most encourag- ing feature. inasmuch as the retail de- mand for all kinds of staple merchandise Is stimulated as more wa wage-earners find work and pay rolls increase. Since the iron and steel trade is considered one of the best barometers of the general situa- tion, 1t is gratifying that production at the mills and furnaces is rapidly rising close to the point of capacity, the output of pig iron last month being at the rate of 29,600,000 tons year, against only 1S,OOO,- 900 tons on January l.

New Orleans. July 9.-Heaviness fea- tured the cotton market today and prices fell away nearly a quarter of a cent pound under selling for both accounts. Liquidation of long cotton was on a large scale and caused much of the weakness Steadiness, particu- larly near the close. was due chiefly to buying by shorts.

At no time was the market given support by the bull side. i Spot markets generally were low CT. which increased bearish sentiment. Considerable bearish comment was evoked by the report that England was re-exporting cotton from detained ships. The one bullish claim of The day was that the market was over sold.
