The German blockade announcement
was followed by the biggest break m
the history of the cotton trade AZ inc
opening of the market hero yesterday
morning. May contracts sold a. LOU
before the opening call was completed,
making "a decline OF Jl6 points from
the closing price OF Wednesday and the
lowest price touched for that delivery
for the life of the contract. A quick
rally to 1925 for that delivery foi-
lowed but met Increased outside sell

price of 10 1850. May closed a. loiA'

Trading has been moro active during
many days previously this season than
DO was yesterday, but excitement never
Ian higher. unless, indeed, 10 was AZ

The opening waa dCm0ralizcd. At the

riod old crop positions 3lO 90 40 points
I'd from the lowest, and there was A
recovery Of 2Oj TO go points ON new
crops. But the market was kept In "A
perfect turmoil by the circulation or
various rumors regarding shipping or
possible diplomatic developments, and
there were frequently fluctuations OF
I "a On nOfnre between sales.
Liverpool and trade interests were
credited with buying most or the con
tracts thrown over on the decline. inc
heavy Southern selling was attributed
70 speculative liquidation rather than
% hedging, and the few private advlces
received hero said that pot holders
were withdrawing their offerings.
The state Of feeling in the South.
however, was suggested by the action
of the exchange ~ Augusta, which
passed resolutions requesting that the
futures market at New Orleans and
New York be closed until affairs were
more settled. Private adyIces indicated
that efforts were made bv the Augusta
organization 20 secure the support OF
all other Southern exchanges IN TINS
action, but such efforts were evidently
unsuccessful, and IN Local trade circles
u was considered that the crisis had
been passed IN weathering the early
break of 8 cents per pound so far as
the markets for futures were con-
cerned.
Margin calls sent out BY the Clearing
House were said TO have been promptly
complied with, but IL was considered
fortunate that the shock had not come
during the period of bullish enthusiasm
last autumn. May contracts A. 300

exchanges omitted the posting Of quota.

Wheat - The wheat market was
thrown into state Of wild confusion
By the German note, and at the outset
prices broke violently 20 the extent Of
7Ac 20 ljc. Trading was Of the most
paulcky nature encountered since the
day war was declared IN Europe and
wheat was thrown over regardless Of
price After the early excitement the
market qule-ed down conside rsbly and
part Of the advance was regained, Al
though final quotations showed ne,
losses of 4i3c 20 Sc.
The prospects Of severed diplomatic
relations between the United states
and Germany caused feeling Of in
tense suspense, and throughout the day
traders were completely Lewildered
Reports from WashlngtCa were
scanned with the keenest 1terest, and
az the close of the market t seemed
TO be the prevailing opinion that the
United States was facing crl3is OF
the most critical nature. jus. how the
seyering of relations would affect the
market was entirely problemGtical. II
was the consensus of opinion. how
ever. that an actual break in relations
would bring about a further decline,
but that after the first shock was over
conditions might work out 20 the ben
eiit OF the American markets.
Other Gestures in the situation we're
lost sight Of, although the cold wave
over the West attracted more or less
attention. chipping interests reported
no change I'm schedules, but II was
feared that facilities will be further

Details of the formation of the pro-
posed new circuit that is being hailed
in some quarters as the savior of minor
league base ball have been perfected
to such an extent that even the name
has been decided upon. according to
announcement made in New York to the
effect that it will be called the Union
League of Professional Base Ball Clubs.
and that the organization will be rati-
fed at a meeting of the club owners
in that city within the next two or
three weeks with Edward G. Barrow
as president, at a salary of $4,000 a
year. The cities selected to comprise
the new wheel are Baltimore. Newark.
Buffalo and Toronto. which are to
formally resign from the International
League, and Indianapolis. Louisville,
Toledo and Columbus, these clubs being
expected to secede from the American
Association.
How it is to be managed with respect
to at least one club-Columbus-isn not
vouchsafed in story which is pub
lished at length in the Evening Sun.
