The active deliveries dropped l4O
to l46 points 81 to s7.25 balel IN
the afternoon. closing quotations be
ing the lowest for the day and round .
Is 100 points below Wednesdays final
figures.
The announcement OF President VIII
sons message to the belligerent pow
ers aroused more hopeful feeling re
garding the chances for settlement
of the war. and as result demand
was decidedly brisk at the outset. ke-
cent short sellers displayed anxiety 70
cover and in addition there was
further buying by leading trade houses
as well as spectators operating on the
bull side Of the market.
Demand was stimulated partly by the
fact that Liverpool recovered strongly
after a disappointing opening. prices
there being from 30 to 30 American
points higher during mid-session. THIS
strength was ascribed partly to the
more hopeful peace outlook and partly
TO active trade buying because OF an
advance of lc in Egyptian cotton.
Shortly after midday Secretary
Lansing's remarks as 20 the un-
satisfactory political outlook caused
sudden rush 70 sell under
which prices declined violently. Janu-
airy went from 1880 TO 1880;
March from 1850 to 1920; May
from 17.S7c 20 1645c, and July from
17.g2c TO 1850 Most of the early
BUYERS became sellers and threw over
their holdings in large blocks. almost
regardless of price. The weakness in
stocks led 20 enormous llquldatlng by
Wall Street longs. Large selling or
ders from Liverpool also made their
appearance and il was said that fully
50 900 bales were sold for British &C
count. The local bear crowd naturally
took advantage of the opportunity ana
their aggressive selling materially ac-
celebrated the decline, until finally a
huge quantity of stOp-loss orders were
uncovered. the execution OF which
caused the final collapse.
During all this time practically thu
only support came from the big spot
houses and representative of one
firm stated that he had bought March
on spinners' orders all the way down
from 1850. Little was heard regard
ing Southern spot conditions. although
New Orleans was unchanged az l74c
ror 2.4S5 bales, while Augusta was also
unchanged at l7i2c for ll6 bales, and
Little Rock sc lower. or l7'tc for
1884 bales. 1t was estimated that
dealings for the day aggregated be-
tween 100000 and 100000 bales.
