COTTON MARKET
IS VERY NERVOUS
Liquidation Heavy and the
Prices Decline on Subma-
rine Developments

New York. October 9.-The latest sub
marine developments caused great nerv-
BUSINESS in the cotton market today and
at times liquidation was sensationaly
heavy. After selling off to 1910. however.
January rallied to $3.50 in the late trad
ing and closed at 6.93c with the general
list closing irregular at net decline Of
II to 20 points.
The market opened weak at a decline
of % to 40 points The cables were rela-
lively firm but were overshadowed by
apprehensions that restrictions upon the
export movement would lead to an ac-
cumulation of supplies in the American
markets and increased pressure of hedg-
ing Reports that some of the leasing
British steamship lines had ordered their
vessels not to leave American ports until
further orders, and of a sharp advance
in marine war risks naturally added 70
the confusion of sentiment. January con-
tracts sold at 16.75c on the call and March
at 1880. or just about 1kc under the
high levels of Saturday Trade in
terests were very big buyers at this
decline while there was also active profit
taking by recent sellers, and prices rail-
lied during the middle of the morning,
with December selling up from 1890 to
II csc, January to 17.o3c and March to
17.20c. This carried the market back 10
within II or 10 points of Saturdays clos
ing figures, but the advance seemed TO
attract a renewal of general Wall street,
western and commission house liquida-
ton, with nearly all the active months
breaking through the early low point
during the middle of the day. December
contracts, for instance, sold off to 1880.
while the general list showed net de-
clines Of SO to so points. Offerings then
diminished, while trade interests con-
tinued active buyers and there were sharp
rallies in the late trading as a result
of covering. The comparatively large ex-
ports reported for the day amounted to
1853 bales may have helped to steady
the late market, although it was be-
lieved that the bulk of this cotton had
actually been shipped on Saturday.

STOCK MARKET IS
PANIC STRICKEN
Importance of Foreign Stu
alton Exemplified by Sub
marine Exploit

New York, October 9.-The supreme
importance of the foreign situation upon
financial. industrial and commercial con-
ditions in this country was exemplfied
with telling force today, the stock. mar
ket becoming almost panic stricken as a
result of the exploits of Germany's sub
marines in neighboring waters.
Declines were most startling and be-
wildering at the opening and suggested
a recurrence of the apprehension man
ifested on previous occasions when rela-
tons between Washington and Berlin
were admittedly under a severe strain.
Such leaders as Omitted States Steel,
Union Pacific. Mercantile marines and
the better known war brides broke
from to almost 20 points, the list for
a time showing little support. This con-
dition underwent general readjustment,
however, before the end of the morning
session, much of the setback being res
trieved, but an undercurrent of uncer-
tainty prevailed to the end.
Dealings slackened materially in the
early afternoon, the market at that
period apparently proceeding through
the stages of assimilation. Fresh
activity developed in the final hour,
Steel proving something of balance
with other investment issues, some of
which hardened on the publication of the
government crop report.
!. OF the tremendous turnover, estimated
at about 100000 shares, fully 80 per cent
was limited to steel and the marines.
Steel fluctuated between 10S and 1874,
closing at Liz, a net loss of 4ss points.
Marine preferred and common recorded
gross losses of ID and 10 points respec-
lively. closing at no material recovery
from minimum prices.
Rails were steadily absorbed at con-
cessions and wound up the feverish ses-
sion at comparatively light losses. Ger
tain recently strong sndustrials, notably
Central eLather and sugars, as we'll as
gas shares, suffered only nominal de-
clines.
Bonds were heavy to weak on re-
stricted dealings. Total sales, par value,
were $4,270,0oo.

PRICE OF WHEAT
TAKES SHARP DROP
Excited Rush to Sell Caused
Semi-Panic, But Market
Rallied

Chicago, October s.-Wheat values
broke severely today, Az cents a bushel
altogether on account of the wholesale
destruction of vessels and because of
the fact that sai1ings were being cancel.
ed on large scale. Sharpened export
demand, however. rallied the market
Which closed firm at 11d2l cents net
decline, with December at 2157H and
May at $.56A. Corn finished ss6A.c
down, oats off &c and provisions show
ing a loss of to 52c.
Excited rushes to sell carried down
wheat prices in some cases of Az cents
right at the outset, but evidence that
exporters were actively buying on the de-
cline caused confidence to some extern,
to replace semi-psnic. Recovery in quota
tons was making rather notable progress
until word came that British vessel own
ers were giving orders to postpone de-
partures at such leading ports as Phila-
delphia and Baltimore. Then the weak
ness in the wheat market was tempo
rarily renewed, and the breaks were
worse even than at the opening. Ex-
port buying, however, again became an
pal Gilt, anu 10 d COTSlOeraDle extent off
set fears that business with Europe wo,,l6
be seriously curtailed by inability To
make shipments.
Increased crop damage in Argentina and
higher prices in Liverpool tended through.
out the day to exercise a steadying effect
on the wheat market here. Some dis.
patches from Argentina pointed to a cror
failure in the north and central provinces
Such conditions went far to explain this
continued export call
Corn was governed by the same influ-
ence that affected wheat at times, how
ever buying was heavy on the part OF
one of the largest houses in the trade
Oats paralleled the action of Other
cereals Receipts were liberal.
Provisions as well as grain were lowered
by the uncertainty resulting from sub.
marine activity. The situation was taken
advantage of by shorts who covered free

Fairchild & Co.'s Letter

New York, October 9.-Reports of yes-
terday's German submarine activities Off
the New England coast resulting in the
destruction of nine vessels of allied and
neutral nations, unsettled all American
markets today. The early break in cot
ton was followed by a sharp rally, but
the news as it filtered out evidently
caused uneasness and considerable SELL
ing followed, on which the market
worked down to below the low prices OF
the morning. The market had numeros;s
rallies and declines for the remainder
of the day, but closed we'll above the
bottom figures.
We do not believe submarine activity
will have any permanent depressing ef
feet upon prices. 1t is true that such
warfare will restrict exports temper
arily, but it does not mean a bale less
in the final consumption of cotton.
There is no reason for the south to be-
come historical or alarmed over a sit
| uation which, if anything. may mean
greater ultimate scarcity of cotton
through it's destruction while en- route
| to ports of the allies We still believe
1 in higher prices and favor purchases,
particularly of December. which, as per
our prediction Of last week, sold over
| March today. This option In our opinion
is dangerous proposition for hedge and
! speculative shorts. Cotton oil opened
steady. reacted moderately in sympathy
with the decline in cotton and lard, rail-
| lied and closed about the top figures. 1t
may show hesitation incident to weak
ness to other markets, but we believe in
purchases on moderate declines. particu-
| larly of November and December late
| cotton We think the nearby positions
are dangerous for shorts.

WILD SELLING ON
COTTON MARKET
Cotton Prices Slump as Re-
suit of German Submarine
Operations

New Orleans. October 9.-Cotton broke
violently on this market today, the re-
suit of German submarine operations, the
fear that their possible continuance
would shut off exports of the staple and
apprehension over their effect on inter-
national politics.
The market opened on the widest SELL
ing selling since the beginning of the
war, which almost Immediately got into
full swing. On the first call prices Of
the more active months lost 46 to 60
points. Strong support caused rally,
but this was met by increased selling
which, by noon, widened the loss of 81
to So points, or $3.50 to 1925 bale. The
opening slump, as the record of few
minutes trading. was the greatest in
MONTHS
In the afternoon the market acted
somewhat sold out, although the tone was
none too steady and last prices for the
day were at a net loss of % to 81 points
The partial recovery was due chiefly to
fresh buying by strong bullish interests
who, throughout the session, openly en-
deayored to keep the market from too
wide losses.
The lowest prices of the session followed
the report that insurance and war risks
mad been Withdrawn ana tnat some
steamship lines had cancelled sailings
This probably had more to do with the
second selling wave than any other fac
tor. Toward the end of the day a some
what better feeling prevailed after the
official announcement that this port had
cleared 3139 bales of cototn for England
and that Galveston had cleared 2O,S30
bales for England and II, 449 for France,
although it was not definitely known
whether these vessels would Immediately
proceed on their way across the Atlantic
ocean.
