verse Trade Developments
Are Depressing Factors

The cotton market showed continued
weakness yesterday, with all deliveries s
making new low records. January con-
tracts sold off to 1886, or. "a points
below the close of Wednesday, and
closed at 16.45c, with the general mar
ket closing steady, at q net decline of
do to sc points.
The nam factor on the decline ap-
reared to be the fear of spot liquida-
tion in the South. This was inspired
by numerous private reports of in
creased spot offerings at an easier
basis, making it look as though people
who had held cotton earlier in the sea-
son had baen discouraged by the con-
tinued depression of general trade con-
ditions.
According to reports from Memphis
farmers were Offering cotton regard
less of prices, while Fort Worth said
that the country had been big seller
at lower prices yesterday, and there
were reports from Waco Of increased
offerings with few buyers.
These reports were accompanied by
evidences Of hedge selling in all three
of the big futures markets, while Liv-

Prices Irregular
In Curb Trading;
Tone Is Steadier
Fractional Losses Shown as
Market Develops Weak
ness in Sympathy With
Others; Some Gains Made

Although several weak spots gave an
irregular trend to price movements on
the curb market yesterday, the tone
was generally stcadicr than might
have been expected in view of the de-
preston in other markets. This was
apparently due to the fact that money
stringency was not SO keenly felt.
Many of the industrials held up
fairly we'll in the face of continued
pressure and losses at the most were
small. General Asphalt was firm and
moved up nearly points az one time,
but settled back later and showed only
small net advance for the day. In
dian Packing was up a trihe.
Independent oil stocks as a rule were
also in fairly good demand and, al
though there were small recessions
here and there, some of the more active
issues were fractionally higher.

GENEVA, Nov. 23.-The United
States will be asked to confirm the
league of nations disarmament pro-
gram when it is completed, whether
or not America is a member of the
league ut that time, it was learned to-
DAY from an authoritative source. The
present indications, however are that
it win be solne time before the league
has any definite Arrangement for
world disa FInament.
TIE proposal for American con-
fjrtiation is said to have emanated
from Japanese and British members
of the committee on disarmament,
but it apparently meets the approval
of majority of the delegates to the
league of nations assembly meeting
who see in it the only solution Of
the difficulty presented by the fact
that the United States is still outside
the league.
Delegates expressed the opinion
that America, not being a member
and not being pound by the resolu-
tions of the assembly and council,
would continue to increase her navy
and military establishment, thus max
ing it impracticable for the league
members to disarm.
Leading delegates believe that,
whatever Americas eventual position
toward the league may be- public
opinion in the United States will
force her to f0rego any program for
an extra big navy If the other great
powers of theNworld agree to reduce
their naYies.
The Root Phillimore plan for an
international court Of Justice and ar.
bitration was accepted with slight
notifications by the international

The plan follows the general outline
