The latter sold quite freely at s11a,

COTTON MARKETS.

NEW YORK, December 9.-There was
a renewal of yesterdays selling move
ment in the cotton market early today
and further big break in prices. The
opening was steady at decline of 8
overnight selling orders seemed to be
absorbed by covering or little trade
buying. The support, however. was by
no means active, with sentiment
around the ring still very much un-
settled, and the market quickly weak
ened under increasing liquidation. Stop
orders were uncovered and before the
end of the first hour prices were $3.50
per bale under last nights close, with
January selling around 1870 and May
1906.

NEW YORK, December 9.-There was
no indefinite trend to the stock market
for the first ninety minutes of today's
two-hour session-it was distinctively
hearish. fractions and points being
lost in the rush of liquidation.
Many reasons were advanced; the
fear of submarine development near
the United States coasts; unsettled con-
trend were entirely responsible, In so
far as any cause could be discerned.
Money rates are more normal. Tne
distinctive bearish views which brok-
ers and commission houses have used
Q check speculation have aided ma
ierialiy in encouraging short selling.
something that has not been very ag-
gressive save on occasions, but which
was decidedly marked in the early
trading today.
Rails Hold Better.
The sales for the session totaled
650.000 shares.
On the down grade there were re-
cessions of 2 to 8 points. with scarcely
anything in the industrial list escaping
the bears attention. Steel common was
low at 123A, points off; Baldwin Lo-
comotive dropped an: Shelters. .
