now rests with Germany. When

How soon Germany's decision will
be made known Is uncertain The
three rumors that one hears most
frequently here today. are these:
First. that Ambassador Bernstorfi
has reported that America de.
mands written and direct assurance
from Germany that her submarines
will not attack passenger ships.
Second. that America Is seeking
assurances that Germany will never
war on her and will never question
the Monroe doctrine.
Third. that the whole German.
American controversy is to be set,
tied by arbitration at The Hague.
With the Balkan situation some
what out OF the public mind. the
present discussions with America
have aroused greater interest than
any other phase OF the submarine
controversy. 1t is the popular hope
and also the popular belief that the

COTTON IS UNDER SELLING PRESSURE Loss of Lusitania Brings Sharp Reaction in
 Market

New Orleans, May 7-Cotton was un- der the severest selling pressure in months today, losing 47 to 49 points on the news of the sinking of the Lusf- tania, while in the early trading selling based on poor cables and the rains over night in the cotton belt caused a loss of 19 to 24 points. From the early fall there was a sharp reaction on profit taking by shorts and around the middle of the session the market had fairly good tone, standing shortly after noon at a rise of to 5 points over yester- days close. It was at this level that the first news of the disaster to the Lusitania was received.
 At first traders paid but little atten- ton to the reports, especially as they could not be confirmed. and prices lost only a few points, A little later the market was thrown into an uproar by the insistent report that the Lusitania had been sunk. Cotton was thrown on the market thousands of bales at a time resulting fin pronounced weakness and one of tho worst breaks of the sea- son.
 All manner of rumors added to the nervousness of traders. Fear of fresh international complica tions and that ocean insurance would rise to prohibit tive cost were given as the chief req sons for the decline although probably the sentimental effort of the attempt to torpedo the Lusitania was the chef factor in the decline. The market closed barely steady at net loss for the day of AZ to A points.

 "we request that you take into consider alton MT. Matthews long service in behalf of the city, with an unbroken record of duties faithfully. conscientiously and ef- ficiently performed. and believe that such . record should be weighed very carefully and counted strongly in his favor.
 We would also call your attention to the fact that the responsibility of this of- fice is very great. and mistakes in admin istration of same are liable to be attended with loss of both life and property; and It 10 noteworthy that the city of Birming- ham has heretofore been singularly free from such troubles. comparing more than favorabiy with the records of any similar department in the country.

COTTON NERVOUS
 DURING THE WEEK
Breaks Into New Low Ground for Movement
 Yesterday

New York May T.--The cotton mar ket has been very nervous and un- rettled during the entire week and movement during today's trading under q renewal of excited selling inspired by reports that the Lusitania had been sunk off the coast of Ireland Uneasi- ness over international politics. both with respect to the European situation and to affairs in the far east. has doubtless contributed most largely to the disturbance of buliish sentiment during the week, while weakness in Liverpool, consideration of the large available supplies and a tendency 10 abandon hope of an early peace have also operated against prices. Private cables have attributed the weakness In Liverpool to heavy liquidation caused by the proposed prohibition of exports from Alexandria to Italy and Switzerland and to the sale there of American cargoes diverted from con- tinental destinations by the Britieh government and houses with English nnd continental connections have boon very heavy sellers in the American markets. This has probably been part ly on straddle account as the difference between New York and Liverpool nas materially narrowed and much of the local selling on the earlier stages of the day was probably based upon ex- pectations of a readjustment of par ities between New York and southern spot markets Sentiment at the close of the week however. was very much unsettled by the departments In the Irish sea and local traders appeared to be paving little attention to ordinary market factors for the time being.

STOCKS BREAK WHEN } BIG VESSEL SINKS A Drop of Almost 30 Points. War Specialties Suffer
 Most

New York. May 7-Stocks broke with extreme violence this afternoon on con- f1rmation of the sinking of the British submarine. Prices fell from to almost 30 points, greatest losses being sustained by the shares which have come to be known as war specialties.
 Bethlehem Steel, which early in the day assumed new prominence by selling up to 15e, the highest price yet recorded, made maximum decline of 2s points. westing- house Electric broke N points, Amalga- mated Copper almost 12 points and others from to 10 points. In the final trading, evidence of substantial banking support was seen in the partial recoveries.
 The stock ticker was almost half ar hour behind In recording transactions. The last 30 minutes was perhaps the most ac- tive and excited period in the history oi tho exchange, over sooooo shares changing hands in that brief space of time.
 In the early hours of the market ex. tremc apathy and irregularity prevailed the day giving promise of being the dull est in . fortnight.

REACTION IN THE
 COTTON MARKE! Sinking of Lusitania Causes Slump at New York.
 Is Felt Here

News of the sinking of the Lusitania caused a reaction in the New York cot ton market of more than 40 points. and Birmingham spot quotations responded readily to this influence. The price at the close was SAC on a good mddling basis. The Liverpool market had closed when the disaster was reported but 1t Is thought that it's effect will be apparent at the opening this morning. A slight recovery, however. Is expected in todays market in New York.
 Grain and flour quotations are un- changed
 The weekend demand on Morris avenue Is proving heavy, but supplies are ade- Quate.
