ONLY SMALL LOSS IN COTTON MARKET New Orleans Exchange Has Steady Undertone-De-
 clines Narrow

New Orleans, November 3.--The cotton market had a steady undertone today. and while 1t felt little selling pressure. declines were narrow and the net results for the day were loss of only to , points. Bullish traders claimed the reac- ton had run it's course and that the de- clines of the last month had resulted in the building up of large short interest They pointed out that the high levels of the season were reached almost exactly a month ago and that during the last month prices had fallen a little more than 15O points These claims brought in fresh buying orders on the declines. At the lowest of the trade the trading months IA to 15 points under yesterdays close. At one time the strongest months were | to points over yesterdays s final figures Good weather over the belt was bear ish argument, but was offset by many telegrams stating that spot holders were refusing to meet the decline in futures and that the crop in many portions of the south was picked and ginned. In spite of bullish assertions regarding ginning the rumor that private bureau was coming out with a report of 7,400,000 bales ginned to the end of October was considered bearish and caused the selling which put the market to he lowest levels for tho day.

SELLING MOVEMENT
 IN CHICAGO WHEAT
Market Closes With Slight Reduction in the
 Prices

New York, November S--Announcenent of d large increase of the worlds avail able supply started selling movement that more than offset an early bulge to- day in the price of wheat. As a result the market closed heavy 1e to 1iac down. with December at $iosia and May at Sf o43s. Corn lost shade to ssc and oats ia6fSsc to Isc In provisions the outcome was Gnehangedto 1oc lower
 Weakness developed in wheat as soon as tracing began, but sharp upturn quickly ensued Unresponsive cables and q report of big receipts at Minneapolis were the chief reasons for the sag at the outset. The advance that followed seemed to be due in the main to active buying on the part of a number of strong com mission houses acting on the opinion of q prominent crop expert who declared conditions iu the winter belt had not been of a character to give faIi-sown wheat the visor needed to withstand severe cold wea ather.
 Nineteen million bushels increase of the worlds available was perhaps of consider able significance in view of the fact that the European visible supply is now about 100000 bushels larger than at the corresponding time last year. However. this might be- longs did not wait for other news before attempting to realize profits Hedging pressure and short selling added to the weakness which prevailed during the rest of the session,
 Corn weakened little with wheat. h. qutries for amounts to be shipped to Great Britain tended. however, to make the corn market appear stubborn as against the bears. and so also did the smainess of rural offers. Oats gave way with other grain, Export demand was not as keen as heretofore. Nt
 Provisions appeared to respond more closely than usual to changes in the value or cereals, Lower prices for hogs were also effective to some extent. especially

PROTECTING THE

owes it to the country. as well as to it's stockholders. to recognize that it holds as trustee for national welfare, as well as for stockholders profit. almost limit less stores of ore and coal in Alabama, and that this trusteeship should be used to develop the iron and steel-making in- terests of that state on a scale infinitely greater than any plan it has yet formu- lated
 The Steel corporation could well afford for the safeguarding of it's own future under all contingencies as well as for national safety. to lay down immediately campaign for spending s75,000 900 to S10o,- oO0,00o in developing in the south iron and steel-making industries commensu- rate with the resources which it controls in that section.
 The Steel corporation could well afford to do this, even if for the time being the profit was not commensurate with the investment
 The very development which would be created by such an expenditure would, however bring about a local market and prosperity which would soon make such an investment yield a profit
 Moreover. the Steel corporation could we'll afford to begin this work without waiting for the decision of the United States supreme court. It is hardly con ceivable that the supreme court will re- verse the unanimous decision of the low CT court; for. as the Manufacturers Rec ord pointed out last week, even if there had been any ground for this suit when started there is absolutely no ground for it today, because the discovery of vast ore supplies pot owned by the Steel corporation and the development of great steel-making interests by other companies bave made utterly ridiculous any claim that the Steel corporation is a monopoly in restraint of trade.
 The Manufacturers' Record believes that the government suit ought to be dis missed It believes that justice to the Steel corporation and justice to the pub lie demand that suit which now has

JANUARY FUTURES
 SHOW HEAVY LOSS
A Drop of S3.40 a Bale Sustained Since Last
 Friday

New York. November 3-There was a further sharp break in the cotton market today, owing to the tendency to increase estimates of both American and foreign crops and to scale down Ideas as to for eign mill requirements. January con tracts broke to 1l.e1 or 24 points below the closing figures of last Monday and 10 less than S34e per bale under the high level reached on the bulge of last Friday. Trading became less active after this decline and January closed at 1174 with the general list steady at net loss Of II to l6 points for the day
 The market opened barely steady at a decline of 10 to 1s points in response to weakness in both Liverpool and New or leans over the local holiday and con tinued good weather in the south. There was a good deal of realizing by recent sellers around the initial figures and prices rallied 10 to 12 points from the lowest shortly after the call with Jan uary selling up to 11.s4 and March to t2o4, but the market soon weakened under re- newed liquidation, which followed rumors that private returns showed a ginning of 7,4o0,000 bales to October 3l This 1t
 
 was said, indicated a ginning for the period of about 100000 bales compared with ,4S6,0o0 fer the same period in 1gUy the year with which bulls are comparing the present crop, and evidently was con- stdered in line with the larger estimates of the yield. At any rate, the selling for time was extremely active and ex- cited and stop loss orders were uncov- cred on the break to .S3 for March and l2.N for May. After the execution of these orders trading became less active Reports of easier spot markets caused some irregularity during the afternoon but there was a good deal of covering as well as some buying for a rally and last prices were some s to 13 points up from the lowest.
 Private reports from the south were somewhat conflicting as to spot condi- tions but southern markets as officially reported were generally lower and pri- vate cables from Liverpool attributed the decline there to a tendency to increase estimates of the cop, with consequent liquidation in a narrow market

Emden Raider Home to Marry

FTOflt the NeW OfK WOrI0.
 Captain Lieutenant yon Muecke, one of the heroes of the Emden, has written a pretty love story into the concluding chapter of his adventurous experiences, having finally returned to Germany and at Bremen leading to the altar his old sweetheart. Fraulen Carla Finke.
 It was the end of the journey which be- gan on November 10 of last year when Captain Won Muecke reluctantly started homeward, escaping with other members of the crew of the Emden when their boat was sunk in the Indian ocean by an Aus tralian battleship after the Emden had destroyed more than 70.00o tons of British shipping. keeping busy the whole Japanese fleet and tying up thS commerce of the eastern Pacific
 Muecke and his men, who had been sent ashore at Cocos Island to destroy the wireless station there. were marooned when the Emden fought her last fight. Seizing schooner, they sailed via Java for 2000 miles before they reached Arabia. There they made their way overland to a hearty welcome at Constantinople.
 At the Turkish capital Captain Von Muecke's services were needed at once by the commander of the German squad ron. Admiral von Usedoru and the we'd ding at Bremen had to be postponed until recently Won Muecke's honeymoon will not be long, a he is still on active service and his happiness will not be complete until the end of the war brings the re- lease from captivity of hts comrades cap- tured by the British.
 Captain Won Mueller, the first officer of the Emden, is in prison at Malta. Prince Joseph of Hohenzollern-Si -Sigmaringen, an- other officer, who is the brother of Donna Augustine Victoria, the wife of ex- King Manuel of Portugal, is in prison in Aus- tralia, it is understood. although the place of his detention has remained a mystery

Charles Fairchilds & Co.'S Letter

New York. November 3.--(Special.) Liverpools weakness yesterday and to- day had depressing effect upon prices here and curbed any inclination on the part of the locals to take the long side aggressively. A big over-confdent over extended short interest has undoubtedly been built up, which by slSilful attack, may dislodge some pryamided big long lines and bring about still lower prices temporarily It looks to us, however. as though it were likely to prove dangerous to go short of the market at present levels, notwithstanding reports that the open weather south was making cotton. Hesitation may be shown in the market for q week or two, but we think is but the forerunner of great activity and
 higher prices shortly. The outlook Is not one that should create lack of confi- dence on the part of spot holders. The consumption in our opinion will be far in excess of production, but in the mean time we believe that conservatism in

not single leg on which to stand, and which ought to be laughed out of court if carried to the supreme court, should be dismissed on statement of present conditions.
 Without however. waiting for such ac- ton, we believe it is incumbent upon the Steel corporation to take the ground that in holding so vast a supply of ore and coal in the south 1t holds it to some extent as trustee for the nation as well as for it's stockholders, and that from this broad national standpoint 1t will immediately begin development commensurate with the hundreds of mil lions of tons of ore and the billions of tons of coal which it owns
 But the Steel corporation is not the only great industry that ought to be looking to the south and the southwest for the establishment of iron and steel plants and the making of munitions of war ~N itsi Mss'
 The Bethlehem Steel company fs risl1ing too much with it's vast operations upon
 it's ability to secure foreign or Lake Superior ores; for the time might come when it could secure neither. And what is true of the Bethlehem company Is true of the Midvale and other companies who. in one sense, are stalking their entire for tune upon one bAsket of eggs. They have plants at different points, it is true, but these plants are all III SectlOns uep0nueHt wholly upon foreign or Lake Superior ores; and good business judgment and patriotism alike make vitally important a radical change in policy.
 We ought to see, and that as quickly as possible, campaign for national pre- paredness by the development of great enterprises in sections where local ores and fuel are available in order that the country may be saved from its present absolute dependence upon the two sources of supply which in the event of war could easily be cut off.
 Our iron and steel masters and finan- ciers are very wisely urging prepared ness on the part of the national govern ment, but they should recognize that an equal responsibility rests upon them-a responsibility to the country, and ulti- mately 1t might be to their investors-to do their full share in national prepared ness by developing on the largest scale that can be made justifiable the iron and steel and war munition potentialities of the central south and of other sections where local resources obviate the de- pendence upon foreign ores and Michi- gan ores.

New York, November 3--After opening quiet at an advance of 2 to points, the market for coffee futures became little more active with the prices selling some F to 14 points above last nights closing figures on covering, and some further foreign or cotton trade buying which seemed to be inspired by the continued steadiness of Brazil.
