DECLINES;
EXPORT NEWS POOR
Near Month Liquidation and
Rising Freight Rates Have
Depressing Effect.

The pessimistic view of the export
situation was ch.ohy responsible Tor an
early decl ne in yesterdays cotton mar
ket. Liquidation of near months also
had a depressing influence, but the OIL
fcrinCs Of January were absorbed oy
the covering Of straddlo shorts or the
buying Of trade interests a. INST sales
of later deliveries. Prices rallied dur
NC the afternoon on covering Tor over
the holiday. The close was steady, net
unchanged 20 ! points lower.
While Liverpool was relatively steady
and overn ght advices from the South
suggested no change in spot conditions,
the market here opened barely steady
AZ an advance of = points to decline
of ) points. Houses with Southern
connections were among the sellers,
while there was considerable pressure
from Wall Street sources. Before the
end of the morning active months were
9 10 IL points under Wednesdays CLOS
irp figures. Around 1907 for March
offerings seemed to taper otf, and the
rally of z or 8 points from the lowest
suggested rather a stronger technlcai
position.
1t is figured that the latest advance
in freight rates has brought tn. cost
Of laying down Texas cotton in Liver
pool up to Az or "a cents pound.
Mail advices now being received from
LIVERPOOL are said TO complain very bit
terly OF these abnormal costs OF i'm
portation and TO indicate that the
diminishing supplies OF cotton held
abroad are in very strong position:
Differences between the English and
the New York markets have widened
materially, and yesterday morning were
the largest on record for the move
ment. While houses with Liverpool
connections bought January, their sal les
of the later months suggested that the
markets must work still further apart
before Liverpool is likely TO attract
much cotton. Under such shipping con-
ditions as now prevail 1t is considered
certain that importers abroad would
confine their actual importations to
their most rgent requirements. While
increasing complaints would indicate a
growing necessity TO Import more
freely. a gloomy view of the situation
prevailed in local circles yesterday
Rumors of easier spot markets were
not confirmed, and there was mes
sage from New Orleans that importers
were Offering the highest basis Of the
season in the interior. Exports for the
day we're l7,174 bales, making 2,l9S,625
so far this season, against 2,333,O34 last
wear. Liverpool will remain closed
until Tuesday morning.

Taking into consideration the cor

an apparent return of railroad securi-
ties 10 this country in the period be
tween March. 1918, and August, 1915.
Of $3.50. s92l35 par value. There is no
statement Of their market value, but II
that is figured. arbitrarily, at 10 per
cent. the return amounted to some
thing over S360,00000O. That. Is at
the rate of S90,O00,000 a month, pre-
sumed market value. or over $4,000.
COO a month, par value. Supposing hat
the rate Of return was the same in the
four months ended with November
4 ANYTHING. it was. no doubt, greater.
there has been a additional return Of
$3.50 .OOO, 900, market value, or Of S48O,-
Gao GOO mar value. This would leave
remainder abroad at the beginning
of the current month Of about Sl,745,,
