Cotton

There was continued general selling.
IN the cotton market yesterday and ~
1urther sharp break in prices. July.
contracts, for instance. sold off to PAST,
making decline of S11 per bale from
the high of Thursday morning and
taking the price back to within n.
points of Mondays low level. That
delivery closed at 2492, with the gen
eral list closing at a net decline Of SO
to 105 points. Beyond improving pros
poets for more favorable weather there
appeared to be no fresh feature to
account for the continued weakness
Inc pressure, consequently, was con-
sidered renewal of the selling move
ment, which had temporarily eliminated
on the break earlier inSthe week owing
to the frmcr technical position and the
unsatisfactory progress of the crop. At
any rate, the action of prices was re-
garded as indicating that the rally dur
ing the middle of the week had not re-
fiected any actual revival of bullish
confidence and the selling was sup
posed to represent replacing Of short
lines as we'll as liquidation of cotton
bought for a reaction.
The market opened irregular at a
decline Of Is to Al points and broke go
w 90 PolilS uIlucI 1HuISudN l > Closing
prices right after the call. There was
enough covering to check the decline
and caused rallies of 80 or 40 points
during the middle of the day. and some
trade buying was also reported, which
was supposed TO include operations for
Japanese account. Otherwise however,
there was very little support and the
market reached the lowest level of the
day in the late trading.
There was some Southern selling, but
it was believed to be mostly for New
Orleans account, with nothing in the
trading or news to indicate any imme
diate change in the spot situation. The
heavy Liverpool selling was supposed
to be in expectation of wider differ
ences between American and English
markets, resulting from scarcity of
tonnage and consequent belief that
the end supply would wave more heav.
lily on markets in this country than
abroad. Exports for the day were 5,426
bales, making 3,264, ,o33 SO far this sea-
SON. Southern spot markets as Off
cially reported were unchanged to 1c
lower on very small volume of bust
ness.

Metals

The copper market continued more
active yesterday, dealers contracting
for deliveries which have been held
back for several weeks. The increased
willingness Of sellers to enter into new
commitments at this time was attrib-
uted to the feeling that this weeks
conference of copper men with the, War
Industries Board will result favorably
for the trade. There was a better de-
mand for spelter, but lead was un-
changed.

Coffee Futures.-Yes market
was very quiet, and prices opened
unchanged to an advance of 1 point,
with trading practically at stand
still. Prices advanced later in the day,
closing at net gains of s to points,
but the improvement was the result
of very few buying orders appearing
around the ring, with no pressure to
sell in evidence.
Rio and Santos have over 1000 900
bags of coffee to market and shippers
there are anxious to make sales, but
the scarcity of ocean tonnage is pre-
venting business.
In the local spot market business con
tinues very quiet, interior buyers be-
ing stocked up and not showing an
interest in offerings. In reply to an
inquiry from local coffee firm ask
ing whether it could sell green cof-
fee to an applicant for license while
issuance of license was pending the
Food Administrator says:
No person to whom license has not
been issued is permitted to buy green
coffee. If application has been made
they can buy on May 8, provided appli-
cation is granted. Ii application has
not been made they cannot buy until

 LEWES, Della, June 4.-Sixteen of thfrty-6ve persons who put off from the sinking steamer Carolina in the motorboat belonging to the vessel were drowned during a storm Sun. day night. This motorboat was drifting about in the open sea in the hope of running across one of the rescue boats. The storm came on suddenly and it was impossible to make any preparations for 1t. The people who were drowned were washed overheard and, owing to the fierceness of the storm, it was i'm. possible for those on board the boat to aid them in any way
 Among the survivors arriving in the motorboat was German. This man has been detained by the fed. eral authorities for an investigation. It is thought likely that he may have some knowledge of the sub marine which was responsible for the sinking of the vessel.

AMERICANS WIN
 AGAINST ODDS

WITH THE AMERICANS, June 4 In an engagement in which they were greatly outnumbered yesterday the Americans fought desperately with the enemy. An American pa trol encountered a large German pa trol near Ancreviller. in the Lune. vile sector, and immediately engag ed 1t in combat.
 The American losses were slight but the extent of the German casu alties is not known. The German forces outnumbered tine Americans at least two to one, but this in nc way deterred the Yankees from en gazing with the enemy.
 The Americans had sallied out from their trenches in the hope of run ming across scouting party of the Germans. Their hopes were realized for they had been gone but a short while when they were confronted by the large body of Germans. The Americans proved themselves to be far superior to the enemy in the desperate hand.to-hand fighting which ensued.
