New York, October 1S.--

New Orleans, October 1S.-Extreme ly two-sided was today's cotton mar ket. with marked firmness during the middle part of the session, but with weakness showing on the opening and again in the late trading, so that last prices were the lowest of the day at net losses of SS to AZ points. the De- cember position closing at 17.42c a pound. During the greater part of the session the market stood at net gains which at one time amounted to Al to AS points. carrying December up to 1S.2Sc The steadiness was drawn mainly from rumors that the railroad strike was likely 10 be postponed for an indefinite length of time.
 On the opening prices wobbled about considerably, strike reports be ing considered more favorable, but prices being held down by the pessi- mistic attitude of the Liverpool mar ket. where wide losses were regarded and which private cablegrams ex- plained were due to liquidation from the continent and especially from Germany. As the market here com menced to advance, Liverpool fol lowed suit, cabling over that trade in terests were absorbing all the con tracts offered The initial losses amounted to to 21 points, December working down to 1755c. The advance was swift following this early de- cline and the market held good tone until about noon
 Once the market turned soft 1t re- mained soft to the close. which was officially recognized.
 The main selling influence was the reminder that the German cable was about to fall.

COTTON UNSTEADY, WINDING UP THE DAY AT B|G NET DECLINE
General Staple List Closed Weak at a Net Decline of TWenty-four to Forty
 nine Points
By Associated Press

New York, October 1S-The unset ting influence of the railroad trans. portation uncertainty was very evil dent in the action of the cotton mar ket again today. An opening de- cline was followed by sharp rallies on trade buying and covering, but after selling up from 18.25c to 1S75c for December prices weakened un- der renewed liquidation. That de- livery broke to 1S05c in the lata u tiading, making new low ground for the movement and closed at 1S10c, with the general market closing weak at net decline of "A to 4y points
 There appeared to be feeling early in the day that long accounts dis turbed by the strike threat had been pretty well liquidated, while there was not enough southern selling here to indicate any general weakening among spot holders. This idea led to a good deal of covering, while there was also lot of trade buy ing to fix prices, and after open ing unchanged to 13 points lower the market soon turned firmer.
 A rally of about 90 points from early low levels in Liverpool, stimu- lated the local demand and before the advance was checked active months showed recoveries of 35 to 50 points from the low, showing net ad- vances of 20 to fl points. Around 1875c for December and 1S.45c for January, however. the demand from shorts appeared to have been pretty well supplied and the market turned easier under a renewal of liquida ton. local. Wall street and western selling. The latter was probably con nected with the continued weakness of wheat, and 1t looked as though old long lines which had been car ried through previous declines were coming out on the afternoon break. January sold off to 17S0c. with ac- tive months generally showing de- c1ines of 4S to II points from the best and of 25 to 45 points from last nights closing quotations. Last prices were at the lowest point of the day, although there was no fresh news feature connected with the de- cline. The rally in Liverpool was attributed to the somewhat better ruling of the mark and trade buy ing.

BEAR|SH VIEWS CAUSE DOWNWARD
 SWING. IN WHEAT
Corn and Oats Touched New Low Record for Season. Provisions Lower
 With Hogs
Fly Associated Press

Chicago, October 13-Bearish views of the domestic industrial situation and of the foreign financial outlook carried the wheat market downward today to the lowest prices yet this season. Closing quotations were un- settled at 3Ac to 4Ac net decline. Corn finished unchanged to 3s e 1a c lower; oats off A to 9sc, and pro- visions unchanged to 25c down.
 Except for brief time at the start, the wheat pit was nearly bare of buying orders, whereas brokers were numerous who had orders to sell. A temporary initial upturn in prices was ascribed to disposition in some quarters to the belief that the gov ernment'report on farm reserves had been given too much weight as a de- pressing factor.
 This circumstance, however, was soon lost sight of and the attention of traders focused on the uncertain ties of the threatened big railway tie- up and on talk of possible financial crash in Germany Announcement from the Atlantic seaboard that 100000 bushels of United States wheat had been purchased for Europe failed 60 bring about any important rally.
 Corn as well as oats touched a new low record price for the season The corn market, though, was relativel firm compared with wheat Small ness of receipts, together with better export inquiry, helped to sustain values. Oats paralleled the action of corn, Provisions went lower with hogs.

Stocks Trading Was
 Quiet, While Cotton
 MoUed Up and DoUn
By BRIGGS

New York, October 1S-(Special) The day has been most quiet and un eventful. The stock market has shown a disposition to gradually creep up and without any special ae- tivity at that. Reports from the vari to indicate that sentiment toward the actual calling off of the strike Is quite different from voting for the same and we doubt if any great pro portion of the railroad employees would go out even if should the strike call be adhered to. We hope that President Harding will take a strong stand in this matter as 1t is gener ally expected here that he will for we believe he appreciates that for the country to deflate wages must come down as well as other things. The tone today has been encouragihgly strong, and the market seems to us to still point upward. Sales, 455, 900.
 At the opening of the cotton mar ket this morning nearly every one was talking of the firmer technical position after two weeks of liquida ton. Aside from trade operations, however, the trading on the rally of about, 40 to 45 points from opening prices was almost entirely local and for this reason the technical position. weakened again rapidly.
 It was to this rather than to any news feature that most traders at tributed the early afternoon break, the effects of which on bullish senti- ment, however, was discouraging. Post & Flagg.
