BROKER PREDICTS
 A RISE IN COTTON

All markets, cotton, grain and stocks were under the influence of politics today. Stocks broke less than any of the rest and grain was under the heaviest liquidation. This was due to a rumor put out in Chicago that Von Bernstorff had been handed his passport. The slump in grain caused western liquidation of cotton contracts and others who had bought cotton yes- terday for turn threw their con. tracts overheard.
 There is no use arguing with a nervous speculator, the only argument that has any weight with him is ouo- tations and although his better judg- ment may tell him he is doing the wrong thing. he is concerned with but one thought and that is to stop his loss.
 The market wanted to go up today and was very strong at the opening. owing to the wind-up of the possi- bility for March tenders and had it not been for the mess of politics that was interjected into things the chances are that a substantial ad- vance would have been recorded.
 There is one feature of the day that stood out and that was that stocks wound up with but slight net losses. which is significant to my thinking. inasmuch as I have always contended that the tremendous money interests represented by the stock list have su- perior advantages for inside and ac- curate information as to Washington affairs and in the present instance had there been any really serious trend in our foreign relations it would have been reflected by serious break in stocks. Arguing from these premises. believe the grain and cotton mar kets became unduly excited today and that we will see a higher market to- morrow c. F. AVERY.

Coffee Market

New York, February 24-The market for coffee futures appeared to be rather nervous and irregular today, and senti- ment may have been influenced to some extent by the less favorable view of in- ternational politics or the unsettled ruling of other markets. Business was largely in the way of switching from near to late deliveries in preparation for March notices tomorrow, and near months showed a relatively steady tone in the late trading. The opening was steady at an advance of to 6 points. After sell ing at 7.82c, May reacted to z 76c, and December eased off from S15c to S.0Sc, but March sold up from 7.62c to 7 764c, and the market closed at a net advance of points on February and of 1 to points on later deliveries. Sales, including switches from March to later months, amounted to 640OO bags.

Sugar Market

New York, February 24.-The market for saw sugar was unchanged on the spot owing to an absence of new business and quotations remained at 502c to 5O5c for centrifugal 96 test; 425c to 42sc for mo- lasses S9 test and 4c to 41-32c for cost and freight The only business reported was 35,000 bags of Cubas for April ship ment made late yesterday afternoon and 25,000 bags made today at 41-16c cost and freight. The undertone of the mar ket was a little easier and a cargo of sugar was offered on the spot at 15-16c. Buyers were indifferent. however, and it was thought that holders were getting a little nervous over the outlook. In the refined market there was very little new business reported, but reflners are still behind on their orders and prices were firmly held.
 The market for futures was very inac- tive, total sales amounting to 1900 tons, and in absence of aggressive operations, values moved but little, closing net un- changed to 1 point lower.
