situation Causes Anxiety.

Asbury Park, N. j., Oct. 9.-President
Wilson was still without official word
early today on the German raids Off
New England, hence withheld any indi-
cation of his attitude.
He was slated to talk with German
Ambassador Won Bernstorff at 9 p. m.
for the first time in many months. The
conference was arranged some time ago
for the purpose of discussing Polish re-
lief.
Until late into the night, telegraph
ers worked with Washington to learn
whether the German U-boat had violat.
ed the pledges given by the imperial
government in the past. But no deter
mining indication came.
The deepest anxiety over the situa-
ton was manifest, but official action
and official comment were withheld in
keeping with the past rules not to act
without full facts.
Messages from the state and navy de-
partments early today said these branch
es were hard at work to arrange infor-
nation and would rush through it the
moment it was obtained.
Bernstorff's visit is assumed to be,
as stated reliably, for the purpose or
delivering Kaiser Wilhelm s answer to
the presidents personal appeal for CO.
operation by European rulers to help
starving Poland
May Be peace Move"
Nevertheless some saw in the visit an
extra significance in view of rumored
peace moves by Germany as well as
the fact that German raiders so spectac-
ularly sunk ships off the American
coast.
Officials here attach little import.
ance to the letters delivered by the U.
So. pointing out special German mes
senger would have forwarded these had
they been vital instead of having them
intrusted to an ordinary American citi-
zen.
AS for a new peace move, officials,
including the president, profess to have
no information. There is every indica-
ton that the government sees no early
end of the war, and plans no part in
bringing such an end Immediately.
Daniels reported early advices re-
ceived show no loss of life as the re-
suit OF the submarine attacks and that
the submarines gave full notice of their
intentions before sinking any Of the YES
sels. No definite word has vet been
received from the crew Of the Kingston

MARKET IS
 ACTIVE AND EXCITED
General List Closed Irregu- lar at a Net Loss of 5S
 to 73 Points

New York December 19.-There were no less than three distinct and sensa- tional price movements in the cotton market today, with trading active and excited. After closing at 1S.2lc last night May contracts broke to 1750c this morn ing, rallied to 1s.20c, and then broke again to 1750c, closing at that level with the general list closing irregular at net loss of 5s to 73 points.
 The market opened steady at a decline of to 24 points in response to disap- pointing cables and before midday showed a fet loss of 61 to T points, with January selling at 17.15c and March at 17S5c Heavy Liverpool selling seemed to strengthen an impression that Lloyd Georges speech in Parliament would be unfavorable to peace prospects, and nu- merous stop loss orders were uncovered as the market broke under the low point reached immediately after the publica- ton of the governments crop estimate last week.
 After the close of Liverpool pressure became less urgent and the market steadied on covering of shorts and buy ing for a reaction. Tine first extracts of the Lloyd-George speech to reach the trade were considered unfavorable, but later advices suggested that the British attitude had left ldophole for negotia- tons and the market rallied almost as rapidly during the early afternoon as it had previously declined. January con- tracts sold up to 17.70c and March to 1S.02c or back to nearly last nights clos ing prices. but around this level the market encountered renewed liquidation and the lowest prices of the day were reached in the late trading, with Janu ary selling at 17.02c and March at 1730c. It was rumored that margin calls sent out as a result of the early break had brought in many selling orders from out side sources, but the days fluctuation were attributed chiefly to conflicting ideas of peace prospects.

POLITICS
 INFLUENCE MARKET
Prices Bulged on Badly OversOld Market and the
 Close Was at a Loss

New Orleans. December 19--Interna- uonal politics was the dominating influ- ence in the cotton market here today and extreme nervousness and weakness pre- vailed during the greater part of the session. an extreme loss on the weakest months of about S3.5o a bale resulting. Opinion was conflicting regarding the i'm port of foreign dispatches and the situa- ton was further complicated by expecta- tions of bearish ginning returns in to- morrows report by the census bureau.
 In the early afternoon there was a sud- den show of strength and prices bulged strongly on what looked like a badly oversold market, although the opinion was held in some quarters that the ut terances before parliament, indicating a continuance of the war, were a bullish feature On this upturn trading months rose to within 15 to 27 points of yester- days last prices. This strong spot at tracted the most furious selling of the day and values crumbled away rapidly under 1t. Last prices were within a point of the lowest a net loss of 6s to 70 points.
 In the early trading there was much liquidation, part of it in preparation for the speech by Lloyd-George. and part of it on a census bureau report, showing 10,S70,0o0 bales ginned co December Il.

Charles Fairchild & Co.'S Letter

New York, December 19-(Special.) The weakness in the cotton market early today was attributed to general lquida- ton due to nervousness over outcome of Lloyd Georges address before the House of Commons. A moderate rally from the early lows occurred before cabled ex- tracts of the speech reached America A period of hesitation followed, but on general commission house buying March quickly advanced to lS.02c. while May sold at 1S.20c. This level. however, was maintained only for a few minutes. To- wards the close of the market renewed liquidation and short selling carried prices below the lowest of the morning. Sup rort seemed to Dc absolutely lacking at the closing, and without some fresh fla vorable developments on the peace issue it locks as if lower prices would pre- vail temporarily. However, we do not expect prices to break materially with out sharp rallies from time to time. Well margned purchases seem advisable on quick breaks, hut weakly margined ac- counts are liable to prove disastrous in the wild markets we are having nowa- days.
 Cotton oil declined moderately, but ral- lied 13 to IT points hefore the close. We can see nothing promising in the imme- diate outlook beyond narrow trading mar kets. The tendency of the market to ease after moderate rallies is discourag- Ing bull sentiment.

SWEEPING ADVANCE
 ON STOCK EXCHANGE
Market Responds to Atti- tude of England Toward
 Peace Proposals

New York December 19.-The stock markets initial response to the address of the British premier. defining the at titude of his government toward Ger many's proposal of peace negotiations, was sweeping advance of 2 to points in prominent issues, followed almost im- mediately by reversal of as much or more.
 On the setback, which was popularly attributed to a combination of profit talk ing, short selling and liquidation by be- wildered investors, quotations fell in many instances to within hailing dis tance of last weeks lowest levels. In fact, some of the more speculative shares, notably Utah Copper, Central Leather, some of the motors and their subsidiaries \ and Atlantic, Gulf and West Indies, es- tablished new minimums for the current downward movement.
 Rails again resisted pressure, though less active than last week, and finished the session at variable but net gain. They proved almost the sole exception to the general trend, being again forti- fled by reports of an early settlement of existing differences between railway ex- Necutives and employees.
 Selling was most 'unrestrained in the fi- nal hour, which also witnessed lowest prices of the season. The ease with which prices rebounded l to points on short covering was in itself regarded as proof of the extent to which professional operations contributed to the extreme de- clnes.
 United States Steel furnished more than It's usual quota to the days operations the turnover in that stock approximat- ing 570,W0 shares, or almost one-third of the whole. This exceeded by more , than 1o-fold the offerings of any other issue. Total sales amounted to 1,75O, ,OOO shares.
 Such constructive developments as the declaration of an initial dividend on Re- pubic Iron and Steel common, receipt of another large instalment of British gold rom Canada and renewal of inquiries Tor steel and coppers were ignored in the more exciting incidents of the day. m
 Aside from another shading of interna- tlonal issues, the bond market failed in any marked essential to reflect the stock market. Total sales, par value, $3,24o, ,0o0
 United States bonds were unchanged on call.

|SEMECOLLAPSE OF WHEAT PRICES
Possible LOophOle for Peace Conference Responsible
 fer Drop in Values

Chicago, December 19-After a sky fell 714c and closed in a state of semi collapse at a range carrying wildly from %c under yesterdays enish to 7sc net advance with May at $,A to s1.65ts and July at Sl.3S2z to s1.3S7s. The rise was due to a general impression that Great Britain had rejected outright the German overtures for peace. Ensuing assertions that nevertheless loophole for a peace conference still rerr> med were respons- ble for the subsequent drop in values. Corn lost 11sc to 11ke net oats ssc to 4a@ @4c and provisions 214f915c
 Transactions broadened out to only a moderate extent on the big upturn in wheat prices, but on the downslide ap- peared to have next to no limits At the outset, and for about an hour and half later, the trade had no definite word as to the nature of the British premier's speech, but initial uncertainty gave way to increasing belief that his reply would be decided rebuf to the promoters of a barley with Germany. Then came brief but circumstantial reports that Lloyd : George had said the war would not be abandoned until Great Britain's object had been achieved. Soon after this and other more detailed confirmatory dis patches, that market bounded upward about 4c in short order on ton of an earlier rise of Sc or more. Buying on the way upward was decidedly more ac- tive than under ordinary conditions, all though far from recent sensational rec ords.
 Selling that grew swiftly into some thing like a landslide took place when the wheat market had approached to within measurable distance of the prices ruling week ago before the announcement os the German offer. Bushes to realize prof It's had much to do with the general unloading and the ensuing price de. clines, but the stampede to the bear side seemed to derive chief impetus from what purported to be Londons dispatches as- serting that the Lloyd-George address had left the door ajar for Germany pro- vided specific terms were named No az gressive support was forthcoming in the sudden confusion that followed and the close found the stampede only checked in part about 1sc up from the bottom quotations of the day.
 Corn swayed almost wholly as a result or the changes in the wheat market The heaviest selling on the late decline was rom elevator concerns.
 oats followed other grain and showed no evidence of independency.
 Speculators who were watching the Eu- ropean situation seemed for the time be- ing to have transferred their trade to the wheat pit
