COTTON GOES OFF S4
 .ON BALE YESTERDAY
Liverpool and the Trade Moderate Buyers, With
 Selling Active

New York, December 4.-There was a renewal of liquidation in the cotton market today with the selling growing more urgent and general as prices worked lower. The break extended to 2S.1oc for January, or more than s4 per bale below last nights closing figures with that delivery closing at 2S.S4c. The general list closed firm at net decline of 57 to 6S points.
 The market opened steady at de cline of 12 to 91 points under over night selling advices and reports that southern holders showed more disposi- tion to follow futures than at any time previously this season. There was buying by houses with Liverpool con neetions and little support from trade sources around the initial figures on which prices rallied few points dur ing the middle of the morning.
 Selling became very active and gen. eral, and stop loss orders were uncov- cred on the break to 2S.9Oc for Decem- Der and 27S5c for March, with active months generally showing net losses of 62 to 83 points in the late trading. Trade interests were light buyers on a scale down and there was covering in the last few minutes which caused ral lies of several points from the lowest.

New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, December 4-Lower lev els were forced in the cotton market here today by heavy selling based partly on bearish ginning returns and partly on the stand taken by President Wilson against Austria. Lowest prices were reached in the session when the nose active months were S2 to 98 points under yesterdays close. Last quotations showed net losses of 65 to e7 points.
 The opening was at the decline and in the early trading prices lost about Sl a bale under the influence of a private bureau report, showing 966o,OO0 bales elnned to the end of November, and an output for this last ginning period of 1,101, 600 bales, both items being larger than the trade had been expecting. With only one period of marked steadiness, in which there was a recovery to about the level of yesterdays close, the de- cline was gradually widened to 32 points on the weakest months by noon. Gen eral selling resulted from the bulletins flashed from Washington in the early afternoon, giving the gist of the Pres dent's message, and 1t put the market to the lowest of the day.
 Reports of an armistice between Rus- sia and Germany and also between Ru- mania and Germany were regarded as bearish and served to increase selline. pressure around the middle of the ses- sion.

Late Tn the session prices showed net losses of 4S to 70 points
 The national ginners' report, g it was received here, put the total ginning at 9,663,O00 bales, against 10, ,S52O31 to same date last year, and 9, .612 to same date two years ago.

Wilson that this country declare war on Austria, although it Is dlftlcuIt to see how such a declaration would alter the situation in any great oegree. The political situation was fur ther complicated by report that Ger many and Russia actually had signed an armistice and there were also sin1i- lar rumors regarding Rumania and Ger many.

VIOLENT IlPHEAVAL
 ON SIOCn EXCHANGE
Steel, War Specialties and Rails Suffer Big Setbacks.
 Bonds Heavy

New York, December 4.-Stocks were dull and heavy in the first half of today's session, rallied moderately during the publication of the Presi- dents message and reacted almost vio- lently in the feverish final hour ex- treme reversals ranging from 2 to 4 points.
 United States Steel was foremost in the unexpected setback, declining from 92, it's maximum of the previous hour to SITS, a net loss of S1s points on extremely large offerings.
 Other equipments and the entire war division, together with kindred spe cialties, forfeited gains of 1 to 3 points while Rails, irregular at best, yielded to points. New minimums were established by Pennsylvania at 441a St. Paul preferred at Il and Balti- more and Ohio preferred at 55B.
 Coppers, Oils and many other seml- war shares closed at net recessions of 2 to points, the metal group show ing previous uncertainty on the re- duced Kennecott copper dividend.
 Shippings also ranked among the reactionary issues. Marine preferred extending it's early loss of points to full five. Selling of that issue evl dently was promrta. A- 1isappoint- ment at the small deferred dividend declared after the close of yesterdays trading The market closed with weak tone.
 All other considerations and happen ings of the day were subordinated to the Presidents historic address. Tha absence of any immediate relief n that communication for the railroads oceasioned regret
 Bonds were heavy on broader deal- ings. Liberty As sold at 97.56 to 97.T6, and the 3's at 9S.60 to 9SSS. Total sales, par value, aggregated $4,15O,000.

New Orleans December 4-Opening
 trades reflected the contrasting in- fluences. While December opened 10 to 70 points higher owing to spot firm ness and excessive discount under spot quotations, January opened to 10 lower and first trades on later positions were from 15- to 20 downs. This shows the contrast between the power to command prices for what Is actually needed, and the bearish views of the situation rep resented in weakness of future positions. Selling was composed of execution of overnight orders in the wake of yes- terday's final break, and new orders based on absence of stimulating news and the national ginners forecast of 9,660,000 bales ginned to December | in~ dicated crop of 11,250,00o bales, without linters
 This is about 1,1O0,ooo for the period against 7SS,000 last year and 93S, 600 in 1915.
 This ginning forecast was larger than expected and coming on reactionary feeling, had prompt effect. It became apparent toward the close of last week that leading interests are not averse to ing bureau publication to perfect tech nical conditions. New York telegrams
 report moro selling against southern spot holdings.
 Well Bros. of Montgomery estimate the crop at 10,632 coo without linters, and say due allowance has been made for omissions and underestimates.-John F. Clark & Co.

CORN UNSETTLED WITH OATS STRONG
Wilson's Statement as to Further Price-Fixing Ea-
 fIuences Market

Chicago. December 4-President Will sons recommendation that immediate war be declared on Austria Hungary did not cause even ripple today in the markets here. His references, however, to proposed new price fixing led to some selling of ccrn in the last half-hour of the day Corn closed unsettled at the same as yesterdays finish to 14c higher, with January a2OFs and May si.1s7s. Oats gained Ac to 1hc net. Provisions underwent a setback of 27c to e5c.
 At first. the corn market showed decided upward bent. the result largely Of nonfufillment of predictions of larger receipts. An advance of oats to the high est prices yet this season counted also as a notable stimulus. Midday bulletins telling of the Presidents attitude were eagerly read, but that his views would be of a vigorous militant character seemed to have been taken as a fore gone conclusion. Accordingly, the only change in the market came late after news was received that he favored bf oadening out of federal regulation of prices.
 Oats bulged sharply owing to pro- nounced scarcity of offerings and be- cause of exporters having taken 1,o0o,- 00O bushels in the last two days

 tion of government control in the cot
 ion seed oil market the trade was not
 willing to absorb the offerings. The
 buyers were the mills which have sold
 freely during the past three weeks at
 very high prices, or some months in

 cotton on the decline to fix their prof.
