NEW YORK COTTON MARKET.


New York. Sept Further extern
sfve losses occurred in the cotton mar
ket today under continued general
liquidation. The break amounted to
more than 4 full cent October falling
to 1901. Severe declines in grain and
feverishness In securities were reflect
ed in Increased pressure of western
and Wall street offerings. while selling
orders also came from spot merchants
in the southwest. Demand failed to
broaden. and bears who had covered
earlier appeared to he reselling. while
the buying from trade sources WAS too
light to make itself felt materially.
Late afternoon rallies were poorly
maintained and toward the close new
lows were recorded under fresh gen.
eral selling. which included liquidation
of cotton bought earlier in hopes OF re-
actions. The market was finally barely
steady at net decline OF los to 1913
points,

AMERICAN GOODS
CALLED FOR BERLIN

The American Association of Com
MERGE and Trade in Berlin has been
called upon to supply large quanti-
ties Of American goods of every de-
scri2tion, according to conmunica-
ton just received by the American
Manufacturers Export association.
The Association of Commerce and
Trade in Berlin states In the COM
munication that 1t is DESTROYS Of re-
newing pre-war connection with the
Export association. The letter. calling
attention to the present difficulty of
arranging for terms of payment with
regard to American goods sold to Ger
man importers, reads as follows:
TN view Of the business activity
that Is just beginning between the
United States and Germany--so far as
the Trading with the Enemy Act will
permit-this association would like to
renew the connection that existed be-
tween your organization and this be-
fore the war. believing that such
would be of mutual advantage.
The pressure brought TO bear upon
us by the German business world is
enormous. We have very large
number OF calls for American goods
OF every description, as web AS many
requests for all kinds of agencies. The
one great hinderance at present is
the question of payment. A few
American agents have already been
here. but their terms of cash in New
York against documents makes ali
dealings impossible. The German
buyer cannot get permit to import
unless he can show evidence that the
American shipper viii give him credit.
Consequently the American business
pioneers in Germany have not been
able to close any deals. 1t is believed
that Americans will be able to give
credit as soon as arrangements for
loan are effected, and as soon as
they have more confidence In the
German situation.
I'VE shall be very glad to be Of
service to American agents and TO do
everything that will promote the in
terests of American exports to Ger
many"
