New York, Feb. 7.-There was a
further sharp break in the cotton
market today under a continuation of
yesterdays selling movement re-
fleeing nervousness over general
trade and industrial conditions. The
general list closed steady, at net
decline Of Is to 90 points.
March was relatively easy during
the entire day under liquidation which
was supposed to be largely for Japan=>

cent below yesterdays close and clos
ing within Z points Of the lowest
The market opened barely steady
and showed some irregularity after
the call on covering and some scatter
ed buying on the relatively steady
cables. Offerings increased on very
slight bulges, however, and the mar
ket soon weakened under more or less
general selling which appeared to
be stimulated by reports that rail-
road lobar organizations would ask
the government to turn over the rail
ways to be operated by the employers
on a profitsharing basis.
The weakness of the near months
encouraged the selling of later deliv-
cries and Washington reports that a
commission is to be appointed to study
commodity values and determine upon
a scale of prices on which 20 oase
government purchases seemed to
strengthen bearish sentinel during
the middle of the afternoon. Some
buying for trade account was reported
on the decline below 2050 for May.

New York Cotton Statement

New York, Feb. An advance dur
ing the earlier part of the week was
followed by a sharp decline in the
cotton market Reports that the agi
tation for a. 4S-hour week lin textile
manufacturing centers was not likely
to result i'll any general strike, i'm
proving export prospects and South
ern advices indicating a widespread
campaign for determined holding OF
remaining old crop supplies and a
reduction i'm the coming acreage,
were new factors in the advance.
The declines late in January had
probably left the market in firmer
technical position and there was
some trade buying as well as cover
ing as prices worked up. Offerings
then increased, however, and the
market became very much unsettled
later in the week.
