Owing TO the tremendous demand
for other war purposes for copper
and the other metals that have been
used for uniform buttons it has been
decided that any button. no matter
what its composition. that will meet
the requirements of the Quartermas-
ter Corps may be worn on uniforms.
The General STAFF has had under dis
cussion for a long time the authoriza-
tion of some other material than met
al for uniform buttons and several
composition buttons have been sub
mitted and approved. 1t has been diff
ficult for button manufacturers to
produce a composition button as
cheaply as the metal button could be
produced. The new specifications have
recently been approved and will be
available to manufacturers just as
soon as printed.

ing started on the opening and pressure was in evidence in moderate way until late in the session, when trading months were 31 to 45 points under the close of yesterday.
 tion favored the short side, the contln- ued military successes in Belgium and France favored the longs, but the out look is so uncertain that the long side apparently does not feel that important operations are justified at this time. However, influenza is still factor In the market and working for lower prices, although not so strongly as was the case last week.
 Heavy rains in Texas, which thor oughly soaked the soil of that state, arc causing optimistic opinions to be formed regarding the prospects of next season. Cotton men in the interior, however, arc sounding note of caution here for they advance the theory that the labor supply of the belt has been so depleted that large crop next year is not pos sble and that even with peace it would be found impossible to get the labor back in the belt in time to make big crop
 Technically the market acts sound and healthy and it appears ready to advance on any important favorable develop ments In the absence of such it will probably drag.
 Lowest prices came late in the day, when the market stood 61 to 79 points off. The close was at the bottom, but steady. I-Shepard X, Gluck

Over Stewards Wire

New Orleans, October 22.-The weak ness at close yesterday afternoon, after confidence and there was greater ac- emulation of overnight selling orders which was responsible for the decline in the early trading here this morning. Opening irregular to 30 points down, prices soon showed an all-around loss of 30 to 40 points.
 Comment on the German reply is that it is not as satisfactory as desired, but that the road is not closed to further conversation. London believes the Ger man people want peace at any price and that the trend of events is toward com plete submission.
 The census ginners' report next Friday is a bearish object. The National Gin- ners forecasts total of 7,0SO00o to Oc- tober IS, which is about as expected. Ginnings last year were 5,577Ooo and in 1916 they were 7,303,00o.
 The weather conditions continue bad, constant rains are bound to cause loss in yield Rainfall was general ana heavy overnight in the west, exceeding three inches in localities. The outlook is for continued unsettled, rainy weather over the belt, and cold wave prospects are much more pronounced. Washing ton predicts frost in the northwestern part of the belt.
 The stock market was steady and high, CT this morning on standard issues, which reflects confident opinion of poll tics.
 The market settled around 29c for De- cember awaiting further news and in- fluences. Reading market prospects, 1t looks like bears are fully conscious or the advantage of the suspense and are counting on final effort on publica- tion of census ginnings Friday, after which a covering movement would seem most likely, as technical conditions are causing concern in bear ranks.
 The spot situation is unchanged. Fac tors say they see no change in the at- tItnda f,f holdars -Inhn Clark ,&, Co.

 There was pronounced expansion of the recent buying movement in rails, coalers, under guidance of Reading, gaining 1 to almost 4 points, while Pa cifics and many low priced transporta- tions gained l to points.
 Shippings also reflected a revival of inquiry from substantial quarters, most ly at the years maximums. Atlantic Gulf made an extreme advance of 6 points. and Marine preferred and the : per cent bonds gained appreciably, fore shadoWing early announcement ot the company's capital readjustment plan.
 Oils ceased to be bullish factor, the gyrations of that group making traders cautious Mexican Petroleum was heavy throughout, showing a decline -of 1T points, and Texas company 5.

New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans. October 22.-Persistent selling was felt by cotton today and the market made moderately wide declines under it. Lowest prices were reached on the close, when the trading months were at net loss of 61 to 79 points. A bearish construction of the German note was chiefly responsible for the offerings
 Selling pressure was felt on the first call and a decline of 30 points soon re- suited. For while the market drifted along, making small recoveres, but the reactions were not sustained. Toward the end considerable liquidation was felt and under this pressure the low levels were reached.
 More favorable crop accounts and the belief that the continued warm weather over the belt was increasing the yield strengthened bearish sentiment and, in addition, there were predictions that the ginning figures from the census bureau due, Friday morning, would be very large According to the comment of the floor, the trade expects an output to October r of about 100000 bales. against 5,577, 900 bales to the same date last year.

 Over McReynOlds & Julian's Wire

New Orleans October 22-The cotton market ruled easier this morning owing to the publication of the German reply being considered less favorable than gen erally expected, not submissive enough it is thought to meet the demands of the United States in order to bring about early peace. However, the undertone of the market at the decline was steady because of unfavorable wet weather in the southwest and along the south At
 antic coast, with prospects for more rain ir the interior and probably frost to- night in northwest Oklahoma and 'north- ernern portion of western Texas Press advices from Washington are to the ef- fect that confidential advices reaching the capital say the majority of the Ger man people are resolved upon peace at any price. Returns to the National Gin ners' association indicate zO60,Oo0 Ales were ginned to October IS, against 5.574 UD1 last year and 1,303,000 years before last.
 The sustaining feature of the market in the face of bearish statistics and slack spot demand is confidence in an Aearly ending Of the war. Noon press adyices are to the effect that the German note was scorned in all allied nations, sur render being demanded. Washington ad- vices state that indications are that no announcement of the decision by the President could be expected before to- morrow.
 In view of the slack demand in the south and small exports from the United States so far this season, S76,OOO against ,o5o 900 to even date last year or 476 OO0 less than one year ago indications are that exports for the season will hardly be 100000 bales against 4,2l3 900 last sea- son, which, if not increased would leave a larger surplus in the south next Au- gust than was carried over at close last season. Therefore the salvation of the market lies in the possibility of early peace. Peace would likely cause a sharp advance, but prolonging of the war would probably result in lower prices unless exports improve materially.-H x $. Beer.

.FLEECY STAPLE WAS. SENT ID THE BAD ON 'UNF ADORABLE NEWS
General List Closed Barely Steady at a Net Decline of 50 to 90 Points
 Under Monday

New York, October 22.-An unfavorable view of the German note and reports of large ginning returns led to a sharp break in the cotton market today. The general list closed barely steady at a net decline of 50 to 90 points.
 The market opened at a decline of 5 points on october and of % to 80 points on other months, and under liquidation Liverpool and scattered southern selling, The bulk of the pressure was attributed to liquidation by recent Wall street buy CTS whose ideas of peace prospects had been modified by the German communi- cation. But at the 30-cent level for De- cember and g. soc for January. there was a good demand from trade sources. while the southern selling was not active enough to suggest any change of atti- tude in that quarter and the market soon turned firmer.
 There was covering on the advance, which was probably prompted by pros- poets for colder weather after the rains in the southwest and talk that perhaps half a million tons of Dutch shipping would be released by the evacuation of the Belgian coast. Otherwise, there was little demand, however, the market turn HIS S"StSA III thS uoS oA ASpoi tS that pTl- vate returns showed a ginning of 7,06O- GOO bales to October IS, compared with 5,573, 6Q6 last year, and 7,303, lS3 two years ago. On the average to October 1S Tor the past four years, about 53.4 per cent of the crop has been ginned. This per centage applied to the returns mentioned today would indicate a crop in excess of the recent government indieation and probably accounted for the bearsh view of the figures.
 Mn 1916 the ginning to October IS repre- sented GAS per cent of the crop, and there were some around the ring who claimed that this years percentage would prove fully as large. Last prices were at the low point of the day, with October sell ing around 31c and January 29.20c.
