COTTON HOLDS FIRM
AT OPENING PRICES
Selling Influenced by Weaker
Gables and News Concerning
English Railways Strike

New York. Oct. 3.-The cotton mar
ket opened barely steady at decline of
20 to 2S points. Selling was Influenced
by weakness at Liverpool, unfavorable
news regarding the strike on the English
railways and considerable pressure from
houses with Liverpool connections.
The list later held about steady
around initial prices.
Apprehension regarding the condi E
tion of President. Wilson may have
been partly responsible for some of the
local selling. but there was also con
siderable selling for Liverpool account
and scattering liquidation. December
contracts cased off to 31.5S or 81
points net lower.
Traders were buyers on this decline
and there was rather a more bearish
sentiment around the ring. prices show =

A drastic break in values in Argen

Another factor was nervousness over
the economic situation. 1t was said
that Argentine corn would be laid down
at New York ,as low at S1.12. Big re-
cessions in October here suggested that
the cash article would gC> lower. Crop

CHINA TO ASK CHANGES
BEFORE SHE WILL SIGN

PARIS, May 10. (By the Associated
Press. 1T seems unlikely that China
will sign the treaty Of peace unless she
is giving in writing assurance by the
council of three that Japan will return
Kiao-Chau to her. The Chinese dele
gates say the clause in the treaty con-
tains no such provision, their only basis
for believing such a resolution will be
made being a verbal agreement. With
out a definite written promise from the
council Of three they believe II impos-
sibel to gain permission from the Chi
nese cabinet for the signature Of the
treaty.
without such written promise the
Chinese delegates hold their position
to be worse than under the Japanese
treaties, which specifically pledge the
return Of Kiao-Chau. The Chinese con-
tentiop is being watched with much In
terest because Ii raises a question as
to the actual status of many verbal
agreements in the conferences OF the
council OF three, which are not known
to be definitely in the written proceed
ings.
