New Orleans. April 12.--Cotton broke fer wide declines today under pres sure that was heaviest in the after noon following the report that ex- President Taft had predicted that the war would last three years longer. Nervous and narrow fluctuations marked the early trading. but in the afternoon the market weakened and at it's lowest stood over 100 points under the high of the day. In the morn ing session the bears plainly were given pause by the reports coming from the belt telling of widespread destruction of young cotton by the cold weather. which still hangs over the south.
 Practically speaking, wherever cot
 ton was up Wednesday damage has resulted and from an early start the crop will now do well to get an or
 dinary start. even should there be no further cold weather this spring. On the opening the near months were to off, but immediately the market moved up to level to Il points over the close of yesterday. Declines and advances followed one another in nervous way, the highest levels showing net gains of 10 to 14 points, Tn the afternoon there Was much more selling and wider fluc- tuations.
 Much of selling now being done Is for speculative short account, white
 the speculative long interest has been reduced greatly by liquidation Spots
 lost half cent pound today, but middllnG is still at 34c, which we believe is the one great reason now existing why contract market is not sale at present.--Shepard & Gluck.

SHARP SETBACK
 IS SCORED IN CORN Large Receipts in Sight From Belt Puts Quota
 tiOns Off at Close

Chicago, April 12.-Likelihood Of big receipts here, including shipments from St. Louis Omaha and Toledo, had n,aeh to do with sharp setback which gaoS place today in corn prices. The iaaIges closed weak at the same as yesterday g finish to SAc lower with May $ls7ss and July s154 to 1.54ls. Oats declined ;sc to 1sc net and provisions Tie to BOG.
 It quickly became apparent that senti- ment in the corn trade had undergone decided change and that yesterdays swift advance was generally regarded as excessive. Talk of an increase in the crop movement next week was current, and considerable notice was taken of the fact that hedging sales, unlike other pit transactions, are not limited to any spe- cific total. Authoritative warnings were also circulated that if the removal of the maximum price rule exercised an un- duly bullish influence, speculative hold ings would be cut to 1o,OO0 bushels. The most lasting depression, however, came from signs that unless Chicago prices receded to a material degree, holdings from other primary centers would be unloaded here on 8 large scale
 Oats weakened with corn, and as a result of ideal weather for the growing crop. Eastern demand seemed dead.
 Down turns in the hog market and in grain were responsible for lowering uro- visions.

New York Futures
New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, April 12.--Wide breaks were registered in cotton here today as the result of the continuance of the re- action from the long advance and unfa- vorable war rumors. Heavy liquidation was in evidence and short selling was in larger volume than for long time past. From the highest to the lowest levels there was drop of about 120 points, or $6 a bale. on the most ac- tive months and at the lowest net de- cline amounted to 9S to 10S points. Clos ing prices showed net losses of S5 to 95 points.
 In the meantime the market moved nervously within narrow limits. some steadiness being derived from reports of damage to young cotton by the cold wave still lingering over the belt. Near months opened to 8 points off, but dis tant months showed slight gains, and after the call the market moved up to a net advance of 3 to Il points. A sag followed, but later prices went to net rise of 10 to 14 points. fairly steady tone was preserved until the middle of the day, but in the afternoon the mar ket broke badly.
 The surface features back of the after noon selling were rumors that there has been a break in the British battle line and that prominent American had pre- dicted three years more of war. Once the movement started, selling was extremely heavy for both accounts, with few buy CTS.

Bradstreet's s Review

New York. April 12.-Bradstreet' to- morrow will say:
 War needs naturally grow at a great rate and industrial operations in lines essential to them continue to expand. Cereal crop news is exceptionally favor able. whatever may be conjectured as to storm effects on northern fruits and southern truck. Wholesale trade in sta- pie commodities is probably as active as cculd be expected. seeing that supplies are short; that quotations are inordi- nately high and that the government gives some indication of eventually ex- tending firm grasp over the price sit uation in many lines of manufacture. But prices seem to cut less of figure on civilian purchases than does the evil dent fear of a paucity of goods, espe- cially of textiles, and therefore many reports disclose heavy buying, not only for immediate delivery, but for future shipment as we'll. On the other hand. activity in retail trade has simmered down since Easter and besides move ments within the current week were ma scr'9"'' curtailed by cold, stormy weather.

Nee York, April 12.--Reports of in
 ed spot offerings were accompanied be a sensationaN break in the cotton market here today. During the earlier trading the market had shown ten dency to steady after the sharp break or the previous day, but later there was heavy general selling. July contracts broke from S2.25c to 31.0Sc, or 95 points from yesterdays closing figures. and fully sl3.so per bale from the high rec ords of last week. That delivery closed at 31. .1Sc with the general list closing steady at a net decline of 79 to 92 points.
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of to g points in response to steadier Liverpool cables than expected and more optimistic feeling over pros poets for regulation in the goods mar ket, Liyerpool was a good buyer of May and July, while there was considerable covering which was probably promoted by reports that low temperatures had killed young cotton in some parts of the eastern belt.
 There was enough scattering liquida- tion 70 cause irregularity during the middle of the morning, but prices held fairly steady until midday.
 Southern selling then became more ac' tive, and two or three messages were re- ceived from the south claiming that spots were offered more freely. The bellef ap- peared to be that the southern selling here was against cotton previously helc unhedged in the interior and there was evidently a feeling around the ring thai southern spot holders were weakening
 The strength in that department has been the backbone of the market on re cent advances, and apprehension that the favorable new crop start combined with falling off in trade demand and recent bea-ish statistics had shaken the confidence of l,olders, led to heavy gen. eral selling. Stop orders were uncov- cred on scale down, with the breai extending to 31.75c for May and 29 44e for October or 93 to 99 points net lower The close Was q few points up from the lowest on covering.
