MARKET
EXTREMELY WEAK
Market Disturbed By Ru-
mOrs of UnfavOrable Dip
lOmatic Relations

New York, November pa renewal
OF heavy general liquidation caused a
break of fully $3.50 per bale in the cot
ton market today, with January con-
tracts selling off to 1866 or more than
a cent pound under the high record
OF Tuesday morning. That delivery closed
at 1880, and the general list closed I'M
settled at a net loss of As to SO points.
The opening was steady at net de-
cline of 20 to Is points in sympathy with
lower cables, but there were quite
good many overnight buying orders
around the ring attracted by the firmer
tone Of late yesterday, and prices rail-
lied several points right after the open
ing. Liverpool continued very weak,
however, showing a break of approx
mately 1 cent a pound. and for the first
time in weeks, houses with Liverpool
connections were very heavy sellers. Sem
timent was also disturbed by less favor
able advices from the good trade and
rumors of unfavorable diplomatic or
shipping conditions, and the market here
soon became extremely weak and ex-
cited. Private cables attributed the de-
cline abroad to panicky liquidation on
stop loss orders, and a lull in the de-
mand for Manchester. For a time offer
ings here were enormous and prices
broke to net loss of 43 to 40 points
about midday. At around 30 cents for
January the selling became less active,
and the market steadied on covering and
rebuying by local and western longs who
were encouraged by the bullish average
of southern spot advices and by reassur-
ing reports with reference to the diplo-

followed, but the support was not agrees
sive, and the market weakened again in
the late trading under a renewal of gen.
eral selling, which was accompanied by
rumors that leading bull operators were
selling out their long lines, in cotton and
other markets May broke to 20.36c or
81 to 81 points net lower and some 106 to
116 points under the recent high record.
December sold IS points under January
and the expectations of notices tomor-
row probably helped to unsettle the gem

From Birmingham Viewpoint

Following in the wake of heavy invest
ments in industrials and copper stocks,
there was liquidation and general
slump on the Wall street exchange yes
terday. Lackawanna Steel and Gulf
States Steel made strong advances, while
the other steel stocks in the Birmingham
district dropped. Copper stocks, in which
many Birmingham investors are inter-
ested, suffered a slight break.
Gulf States opened at 1904 and scared
as high as 100, although it dropped to
155 on the close. Republic Iron and
Steel company was sold at the outset at
8e15, advanced to SITS, and closed at 1884,
Sloss- Sheffield dropped from 81 to S31a.
Lackawanna closed at 103 rising from
101%.
The copper stocks which have been
most active during the past few weeks,
had d rather general slump. Kennecot
opened at 57% and closed at 564; Inspira-
tioh TOYS and 50; Chino, STE and 671s !;
Miami. 451s and AN; Nevada, 2Sss and
|2S5k Chile copper alone, gained during
the day. 1t opened at 31A and closed
lat SO.
Local men who are keeping in touch
with the market stated yesterday that a
slight slump was to be expected after
the period of heavy investments, and
that they believed steel and copper would
take another upward bound.

Bonds
Coffee Market

New York, November 3-The market
for coffee futures was irregular today
with good part of the business repre-
senting exchanges from December to
later deliveries in preparation for pos
sible notices. Rumors that valorization
plans were being discussed in Brazil,
which would provide for holding about
100000 bags of coffee in France until
the end of the war, seemed to promote
some outside buying during the early
trading. The market opened 8 points
lower to points higher, and active de-
livered sold about to points net higher
before midday with December advancing
to 8,23c, and July to size. There were
increased offerings at this level, however,
to 86Sc, in the late trading, and the
market closed net points higher to 2
points lower. Sales, including exchanges,
10000 bags Closing bids: November,

Cost and freight offers were reported
unchanged to a shade higher, with As

The official cables reported no change
in the primary market. Rio cleared 90
900 bags and Santos 114000 for New York.

WHEAT PRICES DROP
ON HEAVY SELLING.
Possibility of Embargo on
Shipments From United
States Discussed

Chicago, November 23.-Heavy SELL
ing by houses with seaboard connec-
lions gave a down swing to the wheat
a brief display of strength. The pos
sibility of an embargo on shipments
from the United States was freely
discussed. Prices closed weak, 1H@
21sc net lower, with December at 1880
Q1.d and May at $1.87Q1.S7A.
Corn lost 40 &c to 1A1@7sc, and
oats % to IL @1Ac.
In provisions the outcome varied
from unchanged figures to 10c higher
Transitory gains at the outset in
the wheat market were ascribed to
higher quotations at Liverpool and
to bullish crop advices from Argen-
tina and Australia. AS soon as values
here had scored a moderate advance
however. selling widened out to an
extent that could not be readily alb
sorbed and the embargo talk togeth-
err with an apparent absence of any
important export sales seemed suffi-
cient to put the bears in control for
the rest of the day. Lack of enough
ready available freight room on ves-
sells for Europe tended further to dis
courage buyers and so, too, did COM
plants of a shortage of railway cars,
especially as restricting trade opera
lions of millers in the northwest,
condition made more acute by the ap-
preaching close of traffic on the
Great Lakes.
Exporters professed to have no or
ders from Europe to purchase wheat.
One explanation suggested that cur
tailment of buying on the part of
foreigners had resulted in part from
whole economics which had been put
into effect, notably the admixture of
corn as an ingredient of flour.
Corn weakened with wheat. Rough
weather threatened to delay ship
ments from the country had only
temporary bullish influence
Oats followed the bearish lead of
wheat and corn. Trade lacked volume.
Provisions hardened in value owing
to purchases of lard for Belgium 9th
er transactions were only of scat
tered nature.

GENERAL DECLINE
/, ON STOCK MARKET
Final Prices of Important
Shares Reach Lowest
Levels

New York, November 23-Traders
seemed in the mood today to accept with
little or no reservation the many reports
of a character calculated to depress
quoted values. These ranged from the
stability of existing war contracts 10
the measures employed by banking IN
terests to check excessive speculation
and the international situation was IN
jected with some effect.
Declines were mostly moderate Out

pressure was felt in the local cotton mar
ket at intervals throughout today's ses-
sion. At times the market steadied and
recovered strongly from the declines re-
sulting from efforts to sell, but no sus-
tanned strength was shown Late in the
day prices were nearly 30 points up from
the lowest, following failure of spots
to decline in sympathy with futures. but
heavy selling was encountered in the last
half hour of business and the market
closed at net loss of 80 to 45 points. At
the lowest levels the decline amounted
to 43 to As points
The opening was at the decline. in re-
Spouse to poor cables, and the early
loss was % to Is points. Partial recov-
cries and fresh declines followed rapidly,
the selling apparently being chiefly for
long account, but in some measure for
bearish traders who were going short.

afternoon some of the bull crowd tried
to force q rally, but meeting with too
much cotton, abandoned the effort. The
closing figures We're about the lowest Of
the day Liverpool is due 6ia to 8 points
lower tomorrow. AS we have pointed out,
since Monday, with many of the recent
big bulls liquidated and inclined to re-
gard present prices as discounting all
bullish factors likely to arise for some
time to come it is evident that the fu-
ture market is apt to become more or
less a creature of fate and circumstance.
Quick moves are to be expected but eau
ton in the matter of purchases. for any
thing more than moderate profits, should
be exercised. The action of our market
early tomorrow will very largely depend
upon Liverpool but we must admit to-
night that the prospects temporarily are
not rosy for anything more than mod
crate rallies, due to oversold conditions.
Spots and futures are likely to work in
dependently of each other, therefore
strong spot markets may not imply high

close watching, pending the outcome Of
the battle between the big factions now
arrayed against each other. Tomorrow is

1eve profits on the long side should be
taken on all hard spots temporarily.
