COTTON RECEIVERS
FROM EARLY BREAK
Liverpool Firmness Overc0mes
Selling Tendency Remaining
from Saturday.

Cotton showed continued nervousness
and irregulsrity during yestsrdays
trading, but resctionsry sentiment was
more in evidence and prices rallied
after an early break. The close was
steady, net point lower TO 3 points
higher. Reports Of an improved spot
demand in the South. rather smaller
volume of Southern selling mere, ana
indications Of little freight demand
around the local ring, promoted zen
dency to cover short contracts, wni,s
fresh buying for long account Was neid
in check By nervousness over the inter-
national situation and apprehensions
that there would be a renewal OF spot
offerings or Southern selling on even
a moderate rally.
The market opened steady at an sd
vance of points to decline oil point
in sympathy with relatively steady
cables. There had been some selling IN
the market here on Saturday. IN an
ticipation that Liverpool would be adj
versely affected by war news, but LIVER
pool was better than due. There was
some scattered covering here at the
start.
New Orleans showed renewed or con-
tinued weakness and prices here soon
broke under New Orleans and other
Southern selling. The decline carried
the active months about 8 to z points
net lower, with July and later deliveries
making new low ground for the move
ment. This break failed to bring In
much long cotton, which was consid-
cred an additional evidence OF
strengthened technical position. The
market became frmer on Liverpool buy
ing. a moderate demand from trade IN
terests and covering OF shorts. Tho
rally carried the active positions TO
points net higher, but later fuctua-
tions were irregular and the close
showed reactions OF or points from
the best.
Private cables attributed the stesdi-
ness of Liverpool 10 end-month calling
by spinners, and the rush to NIL out
February commitments was supposed
to be largely responsible for the days
exports Of about 55,626 bales. There
was nothing to suggest any easing OF
ocean freight rates, although the I'm
proved demand reported in some parts
OF the South may have reflected work
on March commitments. Such reports
were received from Dallas, which said
I that Liverpool. was better buyer,
while one Of TIE private wires received
here from New Orleans also claimed an
improved spot demand.
Southern spot markets, as officially
reported. were unchanged to = lower.
ali the markets being unchanged with
the exception Of Houston, which re-
ported a decline of points, and Balti-
more. which was nominally &c lower.
The largest sales were 1915 bales re-
ported in New Orleans, with prices IN
changed at l1l3c for middling.

In the case of Reading, which he

strong again yesterday. as well as un.

talk that was the making OF bulls ON

COFFEE.

Coffee was steady at the outset. with first
prices unchanged TO | point higher but dur
ing the day an easier tone developed and
final quotations were 2q4 points net lower.
There WAS moderate liquidation of March
owing 10 the circulation of few notice..
hut most OF the pressure WAS in the late
positions. which, after working UP TO
points from the opening. lost the advance,
and closed ut only slight advance from the
lowest Sales for the day were $3.50 bags.
Wall Street was credited with selling dur
ing the afternoon. and this was believed TO
be liquidation prompted by the easier tone 70
the stock market and the nervousness gen
orally prevailing in all speculative markets
over the political situation.
Cost and freight offers from Brazil were
not much changed in price. but shippers
we're apparently having less difficulty in Sc
curing tonnage. and many of the offers were
accompanied by names of steamers FOR pro
posed dates. Santos IS were offered here AZ
1915 and Rio rs at $50. all American credits.
The spot market was inactive. with prices
nominally unchanged at 9,.c for Rio -.

The bankers who have drawn up the
new Frisco reorganization plan ex-
pressed confidence yesterday that they
had met the objections Of the Missouri
Public Service Commission to the for
mer plan. The principal change that
was made was TO displace two repre-
sentstives Of the bondholders on the
proposed voting trust in favor OF rep
resentatives of the stockholders. IL is
hoped to submit the plan TO the Ser
vice Commission within short time
and get an carly sanction. so that the
reorganization may take advantage of
