License Restrictions On Cotton Shipments
 Not to Effect Prices

Washington, September 9.-Licensc restrictions recently placed on tho shipment of cotton from the United States will not materially diminish the volume of exports and should have nc appreciable effect on prices to the grower, the department of agriculture announced today.
 Reports that reduction in ship ments to the European neutrals will cut off markets for 4,000.00O bales are branded as absurd by the department which presents figures to show that the neutrals last year took only 7OO,- 900 bales.
 With the present crop of 12,499, ,oOo bales" said the departments state ment "and with a record of 7,491.0S6 bales taken in the United States last year, with an unprecedently small carry-over. with Liverpool and contf- mental stocks nearly 500,00O bales less than last year. with dry goods stocks low everywhere and a certain increase of demand in the United States due to the mobilization of 100000 sol diers within 12 months and supplying them with khaki and tents, there IS no reason whatever for doubt that there will be demand for all the Amer ican cotton in sight available for ex port.
 Last years American takings were 7,491, ,0S6 and last years exports B. 947165. total of 1S43s,250 or s3s, ,25( more than the estimated crop of this year."

LIQUIDATION IS AN IMPORTANT FACTOR
 IN WEEKS STOCKS
Greatest Concern Caused by Weakness of Rails. New Minimums
 Registered

New York, September 9.-Liquida- tion was an important factor in the weeks active operations on the stock exchange, but the movement received most of it's impetus from a continu- ance of short selling. The bears seemed to have no difficulty in un- covering new points of weakness, sup port being withheld until many i'm portant shares came within range ot the years lowest quotations.
 The greatest concern was created by the weakness of rails, investment shares falling with issues of declin ing financial status. New minimums registered by New York Centrals New Haven resulted from different and well known causes. likewise the de- clines in Pennsylvania and St. Paul.
 Additional July earnings accentuated some of the disadvantages experienced By the railroads in the way of in creased operating expenses. Neverthe- less, returns of majority of the im- portant transportation systems point to record earnings for that month by roads traversing western and southern districts.
 Steels, coppers and the many other industrials and equipments which form the great bulk of the so-called war stocks were under persistent pres sure, but recovered in part on the de- feat of unfavorable legislation. Ship pings suffered sharp setback, how ever on the proposed drastic cut in ocean rates.
 Peace rumors assumed no more tan gible form and the adverse situation in Russia seemed to be balanced to an extent by the Italian offensive. Elk change markets threw no new light on foreign economic conditions. but the further drain of this country's $ gold strengthened the belief that the British treasury may ere long find 1t Imperative to renew exports of the metal to this market.
 Last weeks imperaide bank reserves were directly responsible for the tenn porary furry in call money and the further withdrawal of time loans, but this was largely overcome by gov ernment redeposits and offerings from interior situations.

WIDE DECLINES PERSISTED IN LAST
 WEEKS COTTON
Trade To Be Much Con- cerned This Week With Situation In
 the Interior

New Orleans, September 9.-Wide de- clines persisted in the cotton market last week, the net change being a loss of 1S4 to 2O2 points. Last prices were within few points of the lowest. The opening was at the decline and no re- actions of consequence occurred at any time.
 The selling of the early part of the week was based principally on the breaking of the drouth in Texas.
 Supplementing this was the bearish view taken of the Russian situation. Unsatisfactory accounts from spot mar kets of the interior increased bearish sentiments although toward the end of the week the news from this direction was much improved.
 Heavy liquidation. was apparent at times, coming from tired longs, and throughout the week the market felt great amount of hedge selling against the new crop. Many brokers considered that the source of the bulk of selling orders on some sessions.
 This week the trade will be much concerned with the situation in the in terior, especially as, at the end of last week, Texas points were wiring in that the spot basis was rapidly rising. Im- provement in spot prices would be a strong bullish argument for the con- tract market, just as any weakness in spots would quickly be reflected by lower prices.
 Weather conditions will be closely watched, shorts being somewhat nerv- ous over the fact that the period of equinoctial storms is at hand. Should this week bring forth storm warnings of any consequence covering move ment among shorts would be altogethe CT likely Warm, dry weather would be most favorable for the crop.
