that he had examined the Frye bids

Clerk Syfert made affidavit that the
bids had in no way been defaced after
him, but the board appar-

as the contract was awarded to the

Various nations gave their European
neighbors tariff concessions not ex-

did not apply to the articles which
the United States chiefly exported to
Europe. The United States admits
European products on basis of equal

the war the United Staes hopes ex-

COTTON DECLINES
 0N HEAVY SELLING Early Market Was Very Dull, But Actively De-
 veloped On Decline

New Orleans, January 26.-Cotton held steady on this market today until the early afternoon, when heavy selling was encouraged by the posting of a decline of F points in spot quotations. This was unexpected and from a net advance the market quickly fell to net decline. At the lowest the trading months were put ' to 9 points under yesterdays final fig ures. The close was to 8 under.
 The market opened at the advance and, except for one or two minor reactions, stood at net gain of about points during the morning session. At the high est of the morning trading months were ' to points over yesterdays close. Cables were better than due, and the spot gossip was of such character as to en- courage traders in the belief that quo- tations would be unchanged from those of yesterday. Buying was stimulated to a moderate extent by predictions of bull ish weekend statistics bulls putting out forecasts of comparatively large mill takings and a wide decrease in the vis- ible supply, compared with the great in- crease at this time last year.
 At the advance the ring was dull, but considerable activity developed at the de- cline.

DOWNWARD TREND
 OF COTTON MARKET.
General List Closed Barely Steady at Net Decline of
 4 to 8 Points

New York, January 26.-A moderate early advance was followed by an easier turn in the cotton market here today and after selling at F. .59c, July contracts broke to 12. 45c, closing at 12.46c. The general list closed barely steady at net decline of to points.
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of to points in response to bet ter cables than due and active months sold about to 10 points net higher dur ing the early trading. Rumors that some ocean freight room was being engaged for shipment to Russia and bullish over night spot advices probably helped this advance, which carried May contracts up to F. 46c and October to F .60c, or about to 10 points above yesterdays low level.
 Houses with Liverpool and continental connections were among the buyers, while buying by some of the local spot in terests was accompanied by renewed re- ports that spinners were calling cotton and fixing prices. Otherwise, however there seemed to be comparatively little demand, while sentiment was unsettled SO oOiilO CAbtHt Dy d DIcdh III lIe SlOCh market after an opening advance and prices turned easier during the middle of the day.
 little selling by Liverpool after the earlier purchases attracted some atten- ton, while there was a renewed Wall street or local pressure, and offerings be- came heavier late in the afternoon, ow- ing to break in New Orleans and the appearance here of New Orleans selling orders. March contracts sold off to 224c, the high point of the morning, to 12.OSc, while May declined to 1232c and Octo- Der to 12 .43c.
 Closing prices were within a point or two of the lowest
 Private wires from New Orleans at trlbuted the break there to liquidation caused by a decline of about F points in the spot market and the New Orleans selling here was one of the chief factors in the late trading.

Threatened Labor Troubles and Lusitania Incident
 Figure in Decline

New York, January 26.-The trend of today's stock market session must have been a source of disappointment to those who hoped that the constructive factors implied by the resumption of the United States Steel common dividend and that corpora tions remarkable statement o1 earnings would lift the market out of its recent pessimistic mood. Stocks were strong at the outset, mainly in conse- uuence of extensive short covering, but before the noon hour prices receded, With q succession of irregular declines, which more than effaced most initial gains In fact, minimum quotations were lowest Tn many instances for weeks.
 Various theories were again offered to explain the markets failure to respond to good news that further foreign liquidation was accepted as the chief obstacle, al though domestic developments, such as the threatened contest between the rail- roads and their employees, assumed ln- creased importance. Washingtons S refusal to accept Berlin's terms in the settlement of the Lusitania incident also figured Tn the calculations of the trading element
 United States Steel was, of course the foremost feature opening with an offering of 15,O0O shares at S6 to S5$s, declining to S31s and closing at that price, a net loss or a DOlQl. D6dllnSS III oltei WSi oSe'iiA largely preponderant, exceeding the com bined output of other leading issues
 All sections of the list contributed to the initial advance with virtually no losses, but before the end of the trst hour realizing and short selling complete ly reversed the early order. Heavlness of the rails, which was most acute in the final hour, was the most disconcerting fea- ture, Canadian Pacific falling to 16S, with 1 to point declines in other invest ment issues, while high-priced specialties were to ' points lower
 Among the few noteworthy exceptions to the lowering movement were the mer- cantile marine issues, the preferred ris- ing to S25s and AZ per cent certificates 115 to the new record of 10212.
 @Bethlehem Steel fell 171a to 456; Inter- national Nickel 13 to POP; Cuban-American Sugar to 176, and Willys-Overland to 212 in the feverish operations immediately preceding the close.
 Except for the strength of marines, the bond market was heavy. Total sales, par value aggregated $4,715,000.
 United States registered 2s and As de- clined 14 and F per cent, respectively, on call.
