New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, February 6.-Renewed sell ing pressure was felt by cotton in the early trading today, but as the market broke under it a general demand for cov- CTS came from the short side. and the realizing movement caused a wide reac- ton. Some little new demand for long account sprang up, and in the second half of the session the market had very good tone From declines of 69 to 90 points under the close of yesterday the trading months were sent 15 to 21 points over, and closing quotations were at net gains for the day of to IA points.
 The early selling was based on the many claims that low sterling rates were stop ping the export movement of cotton from this country, but as the days statistical statement developed and it was seen that the export movement was encouragingly large, the view was taken that the eff feet of demorslization in foreign exchange or cotton had been exaggerated. Total cIearances for foreign po'a rom United States ports today amounted 10 1o02 bales against 10672 this day last year bringing the movement thus far this week up to 1s6. .3es bales against 5S,604 during the cor responding period of last year
 The slight recoveries in sterling ex- change itself were help to the market. and at al times the discount at which contracts are trading under spots was a buying argument.

Sugar Market
 AY Asaaeiafed Rfnta

New York, February 5.-There was no change in the local market for Cuban raw sugar, but Porto Rico was Ac lower. The improved labor conditions in Cuba led to increased offerings by holders who were willing to sell early loading and first half February clearance at 12c, cost and freight, without finding buyers, while about 6o000 bags Porto Rico sold to a refiner at equal to 12.75c for centrifugal.
 The market closed at 12c for Cubas, cost and equal, to 13 .04c for centrifugal.
 In refined it was reported that oper- ators who had purchased raw sugar n Cuba and were having it refined here for export were reselling their supplies in the local market on account of the un- eettled exchange situation. The sales, however, were not of sufficient volume to have any effect here. and the demand seemed to be as active as ever. Several of the local refiners were still making m oderate allocations to their regular cus- toners, while others were not allocatfng any at all Prices were unchanged at 15q 16c for. fine granulated.

SAYS NITRATE PLANT
 CANNOT BE OPERATED WITHOUT BIG DEFICIT

Washington, February 6.--Govern- ment operation of the Muscle Shoals, Ala. nitrate plant as an ammonia sulphate fertilizer factory would re- quire a subsidy to meet the continued deficit" c. J. Atwater of New York, called as a chemical expert. testified today before the House war expendi- lures committee Chairman Graham asked Atwater if the farmers of the country would buy that product.
 "The farmer has got to be shown. ' he said and just now we are progressing a bit in our efforts to introduce the new product The farmer wants to know if 1t is valuable and how much it will cost
 Could the government manufacture ammonium sulphate at Muscle Shoals at a reasonable costT' the chairman asked
 T don't think so." Atwater said except under subsidy by the govern ment, which would have to face a steady loss in order to put 1t on the market at fair price to the farmer

into decline, sS0O0 shares of Crucible have been turned over on the ex- change. The high price during the period was PA, made on Monday. The lowest price touched by Crucible was zO4, made on Wednesday, when the market was at it's worst. Yesterday Crucible moved up to PIP on the early rally, settling back later to 206, and ending up at 2o9, up point on the day. Whereas most other industrials are down to low prices for the year. Cru cible is still well up from the bottom. It sold at 197 on the break in Janu- ary, when the bears worked hard to bring out some real selling in the stock.
 Banks continue to adhere to their policy of not extending credit for fixed periods on stock exchange collateral. A banker explained today why this was being done. "The credit situation is such" v said, that we cannot af- ford to let it get out of control. There fore, we are making loans for stock mgrket purposes only on calling that enables us to keep our hand on the throttle at all times, whereas were we to put out a iarge amount Of time money for sixty or ninety days it would nullify our efforts to keep things liquid.p The stock market loan situation has been much improved by she liquidation of the past few days, it is stated, and the total outstanding loan account has been considerably reduced. Judging from the attitude of the bankers, Wall street, however, cannot look for any important easing of rates for some time to come. Cop per metal sales by the leading Amer ican producing interests took a slump ina January, but even then the total amount sold, $50 600 pounds, was, with the exception of the 50o,0oo, 900 pounds sold in December. the largest amount disposed of in a year Novem- Der sales are estimated to have ap- proximated 135,000,0o0 pounds. The De- cember sales were the largest in the history. Al the industry as a result of the sales since early autumn the sur plus of metal carried by the producers and refiners has been considerably re- duced.

CONSTANT PRESSURE ON VAIL STREET CAUSES UNREST
Call Loans Advanced From IF Per Cent to 20 With Stronger Tendencies for
 Bank Acceptances
By Associated Pres.

Ase0clANt0
 New York, February 5.-Although the foreign exchange situation, as applied to London and Paris, showed moderate lm- provement today. the stock market con- tinued under incessant pressure on re- newed selling for both accounts.
 The recovery in international credits was nullihed as a market factor by greater firmness of money, call loans ad- vsncing from the high renewal rate of l1 per cent to 20. with stronger tendencies for bank acceptances and commerclai ps per.
 Many stocks, including United States Steel, which fell to fraction under pars were lower by 1 to points from yes terday's extreme reactions, losses apply ing in almost equal measure to high grade and minor issues.
 Rails give promise of betternnent at the outset, but yielded later when advices from Washington indicated that certain obiectionable features of the railway Dill now pending probably would be adopted.
 Industrials, motors and oils rallied slightly towards the end on short cover ing, but in no instance Of importAnce was the net result favorable to the con- structive side, shippings contributing to the weak tone at the close
 In connection with the anomatious ex- change situation there was much discus sion, and no little satisfaction in man cial circles at the effect already pro dEced in the important commodity mar kets.
 It is generally agreed that further at traction of prices for cereals, provisions and cotton offer the best and safest cure for adjustment of internatonai credits New low prices were made py Liberty and Victory Bonds, despite Comp troller Williams statement instructing bank examiners not to mark down prices of those securities held by national insti- tutions.

COVERING RALLIES FOLLOWED AN EARLY DECLINE IN COTTON
General List Closed Firm at a Net Advance of 10 to 20
 Points Over Final Fig ures of Wednesday
By Associates Press

New York. February 5.-The cotton mar
 ket was less active after the big break
 of yesterday, and an early decline was
 followed by rallies on covering. May sold
 up from S1 65c to 32.3Sc, closing at g. .55c,
 with the general list closing firm at a
 ret advance of 10 to 20 points
 The market opened easy at unchanged
 prices to a decline Of 4o points, and ac- tive months sold 60 to 6 points net lower during the first few minutes on over
 night selling orders, part of which were said to have been received as result Of margin calls. Liverpool sold at the start. but became an active buyer at the decline. presumably 10 take profits on old straddle accounts at the new wide dif-
 ferences between the two markets. This
 absorbed many of the early offerings. and the market turned steader on cov- ering promoted by the rally in exchange and belief that speculative long lines
 had been pretty well lquidated on the break of the previous day. Apprehensions l of spot hquidations seemed to be modified 1 to some extent by the absence of any generally active southern selling, and | there was some trade buying or buying | for reaction as well as covering on the advance. Talk of high money rates and l the unsettled tone of the stock market i led to reactions of % or 25 points during
 tho middle of the afternoon, but the con- ! tinued steadiness Of foreign exchange
 was a sustaining factor, and the best prices of the day were made in the late
 trading. when March sold at 34.Soc and
 July at 0.50c, or 13 to 25 points net high
 CT Private cables from Liverpool denied l yesterdays rumors that England would stop importations of cotton, but one of them said that the basis was too high | in the south to buy at present, and it was estimated that stocks of cotton in Eng l land are sufficient to last the mills about three months, including the afloats. Re- ports from the goods trade that goods intended for export were being offered
 for resale were probably factor on the early break.

Nrm0Grk dEribnrle

New York, February 5.-(Special-)- Like a prize fighter who has been sent sprawling by the sledge hammer blow of fellow pugilist. the stock market, following at least the majority, moved in sort of daze today. Apart from the same coterie of professional bears which has been slugging away at prices since Monday with good deal of success, speculative Wall street ap- peared to be in a state of mental con fusion. The movement of stock prices reflected this condition of affairs. Stocks got off to a modest rally in the first hour, and the hopes of the few bulls left rose high, only to fall like a 'dud' when the bear party gets it's arms swinging with careful precision later in the day. After trying out the soft spots with varying success the same professionals went out after Steel common. The idea was, of course to force a break in the big speculative leader so as to produce unsettlemcnt elsewhere. Just before o'clock the drill against Steel was launched with a vigor that was not to be denied. For few minutes Steel hung at par, and then 26.6O0 shares broke the price to s97s. On the sale Steel rallied to par. but subsequently, yielded again. this time going to 99i1, the low for the day. The closing on Steel was 10o1s
 Strangely contrasting with the market action of the majority of the high priced issues, Crucible Steel gave an- other remarkable exhibition of strength today. CrucibIe stood up against all the onslaughts of the pro- fessional element When Steel com mon was knocked down under par, Crucible actually moved up a frac- ton. The action of the issue indi- cates, according to the streets way of thinking, that the inside interests who own most of the stock, are not being stampeded into unloading by the gem eral market turmoil In the last four days, that is, since the market went

 A few minutes after the cave-in oc- cured rescue team was at work re- moving the tons of rock and debris which buried the unIortunate miners. The bodies were not recovered until Thursday noon and an examination shower that the men had been killed almost instantly.
 One theory advanced is that just be fore going off shift the two men en tered the chute to dislodge some ob struction and were caught in the cave in which carried everything before it, chutes and all
