ment concerning pace was the only fac
tor.
The market faces a heavy decline VI
the Allies refuse to negotiate. Tho cot
ton trade ms II rule Is more ut sea now
than II has ever been. Net results OF
yesterdays trading were declines of ,

closing tone was easy
Liverpool was a factor In tho morning
decline. "A sharp drop in that market
sendinG prices 5 to rs points of here.
TIL, decline In Liverpool is attributed by
some dealers To an indication that the
British cotton trade tx taking some stock
IN peace talk and Ia looking forward to
the reduced costs " transportation.
Weakness In securities also was ac-
companied by renewed Wall street iiuIi-
dation In cotton. but after tho call and
the close abroad offerings diminished
considerably and there were rallies Of
several points near the noon hour. There
RAJ considerable covering by shorts
during this period and prices generally
were unsettled during the late morning.
During the early afternoon the mar
ket turned sharply upward and a'frcsh
wave OF buying struck the ring. This
was the highest of the day. March sell.
