On Both Sides in Trying to
Prevent Strike
NOT MUCH SIGN OF YIELDING is YET EVIDENT IN EITHER
MANAGERS Or THE MEN
(Associated Press)

Washington, Aug. President
Wilson today summoned to the White
House representatives of the rail
roads and the brotherhoods for sep
arate conferences to discuss the pro-
posals that have developed from his
original settlement plan.

The president conferred with the
four brotherhood leaders for an hour
and a half. 1t was understood he
wanted their views on legislation to
prevent future occurrences of a situa-
tion which threatens nationwide
railroad strike. After the conference,
A. B. Garretson, their spokesman, said
the. situation was unchanged and that
no complete and concrete proposition
to which the railroads had agreed was
rendered the brotherhoods.
w. G. Lee, representing the train
men, accused the Northern Pacific of
starting a propaganda against the
presidents plan by sending its station
agents copies of protests which they
were to send President Wilson, pro-
testing against any settlement other
than by arbitration.

COTTON PRICES
 TAKE HEAVY SLUMP
Selling Movement Demoral- ized Ring, But the Market
 Steadied on Covering

New York, December s-Yesterday' 8 big break was followed by further sen- sational declines In the cotton market today, with the selling so active and ex- cited that at times prices broke some 10 or 15 points between transactions. Heavy margin calls necessitated by the slump of the previous day appeared to have brought in selling orders from all direc- tions and it was not until March con- tracts had been sold at 1S50c or 75 points net lower that the decline was checked. The close was at 19.05c for that delivery and the final tone was steady at a net loss of 17 to 34 points
 The opening was comparatively quiet with, first prices points lower to ( points higher on little trade buying and covering. Offerings very quickly in- creased. however. and it was soon ap- parent that long cotton carried over yes- terday's big break was being pressed upon the market. For a time the selling was so heavy that the ring was prac- tically demoralized. The rapid decline uncovered stop orders faster than they could be executed, and before the sell ing slackened January had sold at 1895 and May at 1SsOc or about 60 to 75 points under last nights closing figures. This made a break of 1s3 to 194 points from the high level of Thursday afternoon and of about $14 per bale from the high record for the season and established just be- fore Thanksgiving.
 The market then steadied on active covering for over the weekend and the government report expected on Monday.
 Last prices showed recoveries of from 45 to 55 points from the lowest. No fresh views were expressed as to the probable showing of the govern ment's crop estimate on Monday and no materia, change was reported in the southern spot situation.
 Estimates by 115 members of the New York cotton exchange as to the size of the crop, excluding linters ranged from 10,67S.0Oo to 13,500,ooO bales and averaged Il, ,427 ,O00.

PRICES ADVANCE ON
 FOREIGN BUYING
Revival of European De mand and Better Freight
 Facilities Boost Prices

Chicago. December s.-Forecasts of a return of foreign buying helped to bring about a bulge in wheat prices during the last half hour today. notwithstanding that throughout the rest of the session the market had been weak. The close was strong. to 27sc net higher with May at s1.Tis to s1.Tis and July at s1491a to $1.492l. Other commodities also gained corn 1ls to Sc; oats, # to 7sc, and pro visions 17c to 2oc to 35c.
 Bull leaders who predicted a revival of European demand for wheat made the contention that decided increase of available ocean freight tonnage was in prospect and that the congestion of east ern railway facilities would be soon over come by the strenuous methods which were being used to relieve the situation. It was while this sort of talk was most prevalent that shorts who were dlsin- clined to face risks over Sunday at tempted to collect profits on numerous early sales. An unexpected lack of of- ferings speedily became apparent, and a quick upturn was the result, with the pit disregarding the bearsh factors which before had ruled the market, notably the
 
 news of the presence of German cruiser on the Atlantic in addition to an armed undersea boat.
 It was explained that certain per centage of the increased tonnage would be ships diverted from Argentina. Until weekend evening up of trades began, however, the bulls seemed unable to do a great deal in the direction of over coming declines, let alone establishing an advance Corn swayed to large extent with wheat. Scarcity of rural offerings gave an advantage at times to the bulls, despite assertions that the car situation was improving on some of the western lines. Oats paralleled the action of other cereals There was some inquiry from the seaboard but actual sales to shippers were light.
 Higher quotations on hogs lifted pro- visions. Besides shipments of meats and lard during the week were reported to have reached liberal total

E. F. Hutton & Co.'S Stock Letter

Furnished by c. F. Avery's Private Wire.
 New York, December 9.-(Special) )--It has been patent that the industrial mar ket has been congested for weeks, and when the selling panic came in cotton today it brought selling in this group, which extended to the general market. Nothing could happen better than this shake-out. People began to go crazy bout coppers and steel. It was just as well to let the pyramider know that the market can go both ways. There is noth- ing in the situation to warrant much lower prices now. In the railroad list there is the reverse. There is everything to warrant higher prices and we think the speculation which started earlier in the week in this group and which has been checked by general market conditions, will be resumed again. The s32,000,000 in- crease in the bank reserves shows that the money market for the time being, has turned the corner, and if specula- tion can be carried on rationally, the prices will ultimately in many securities be higher. On merit, the southern stocks and lately reorganized railroad is cheap. Their earnings are good, their prospects are the best, they are good collateral and require much less to finance than the industrials Western Union dividend is due next week and we believe it will be advanced.
