COTTON MARKETS.
NEW YORK.

NEW YORK. February 16.-There
was a renewal of March liquidation
and scattered selling in the cotton mar
ket early today. and after opening
steady at a decline Of 4 points to an
advance Of 2 points the market soon
sold some to 9 points under last
nights closing figures. March was rel
atively easy. selling off to 11.76, while
May declined to 1893 and July to 1911.
or about 20 to 35 points under the high
prices reached on the rally OF last
week.
Liverpool was no lower than duo on
the New York close of yesterday. but
rumors of increased spot offerings
probably encouraged some of the scat
tered selling, and there appeared to be
few buyers around the ring. Spot
houses bought March on a scale down,
but sold later deliveries against 1t.
Futures opened steady: March. IL
May 1900: July. 12.1s; october. 12.22;
December, 1884.
After the early break to 1913 for
May prices rallied or points TO
about the closing figures of yesterday
on covering and buying by houses with
Liverpool connections to undo etrad-
dies. 1t also seemed that the decline
below 12c for May was attracting some
fresh buying for long account, but
after the close of Liverpool prices here
weakened. owing to the withdrawal Of
arbitrage buying and reports of labor
troubles in New England. The market
at midday was unsettled, with prices
back to within a point or two of the
lowest.

WALL STREET MARKET
UNDER BEAR PRESSURE
Fairly Firm Tone at Opening Is
Followed by Professional Sell
ing and Some Liquidation.
Specialties Suffer Three to S1
Point Break-Standard Stocks
Are Also Weak.

NEW YORK, February 18.-The mar
ket continues to move uncertainty and
without definite trend.
At the immediate opening there were
indications of recoveries and some
sharp fractional gains were noted. Cru
chile Steel pacing hte advance. with the
general run of industrials inclined to
better prices.
There were some weak points, but
the gains outnumbered the recessions.
Cuban Sugar rose points. Canadian
Pacific was under pressure and Mer-
camille Marine continued to recede in a
manner that pleased the bears and had
a decidedly reverse effect on stockhold-
ers who bought it to 10 points above
present quotations.
Easier Tone Develops.
As the session progressed the market
developed an easier tone and gradually
the improvements were lost and later an
average decline Of about half point was
sustained. with the morning hours clos
no indication of support from any d.
rection.
With the noon hour the selling pres
sure was doubled and the market be-
came decidedly soft. 1t looked like pro-
fessional selling, although here and there
positive liquidation was in evidence.
The bears were pressing hard for the
advantage and found little opposition.
There were but few stocks that escaped
with fractional recessions. and some of
the most active lost points In the gen.
eral weakness.
Selling Pressure Continues.
The selling pressure continued
throughout the noon hour and ceased
shortly after the beginning of the sec
ond hour of the afternoon.
Some slight recoveries were made,
but the bears seemed assured of their
positions, and did not make any efforts
to cover. although there was some lit
tie profit taking.

Reserve Board Proposition.
The federal reserve board has rec
commended to Congress the enactment
of several amendments to the federal
reserve law, covering points that have
recently been debated by bankers.
1t is suggested that Congress enact
an amendment permitting dual diree-
torships. and II necessary dual office
positions, where the banks in question
are not competitors.
Also that permission be given to
member banks to hold joint stock
ownership in branch banks in foreign
countries, in the interest of furtherlng
business conditions for the benedt OF
the United States.
An important amendment is suggest
ed in the recommendation to permit
member banks to have branches.
All these amendments were suggested
by national bankers and with the APP
prevail of the federal reserve board:
should at least stand more show OF
being enacted than measures lacking
ohfcial sponsorship.
A number of presidents OF national
banks of Washington were interviewed
suRgestion-branch banking-and al
most without exception they favored
1t. but only under strict regulation.
They are opposed. unalterably, to chain
banks and even find the idea Of branch
banks in the same city fraught with
the element of danger, but believe that,
properly safeguarded and not permit
ted to locate Unfortunately, but con-
fined to localities where needed, branch
banking would be a good thing for
the communities and for banks as well.
The conduct of branch banking re-
moves the branch from the close per-
sonal supervision that the main insti-
tuition receives from the heads of the
bank. and yet branch banks have been
operated with great success in other
city.
