LIQUIDATION In
COTTON CONTRACTS
Majority Comes from Bullish
Circles and Disappointed
Traders.

NEW YORK, May 14.-There was
evidence of further liquidation of
long cotton contracts shortly afAer
the openin of the market this morn
ing. Most Of ii, as was the case in
yesterday afternoons decline, came
from recent bulls among the local.
Wall Street and uptown trading ele-
ment, disappointed at the action of
the market throughout the past
week. There was some good buying
right after the opening for some of
the Japanese interests mostly, in
July contracts. This sent prices up
. points for July from yesterdays
closing and six for the later months.
while this demand lasted. After
these buying orders had been filled
up the market began to go of and
gradually slumped 20 points for
July from the early high level and
13 to 16 points for the rest of the
list from their early high quota
tions.
May contract went off to about
12A cents, while July declined to
1858, October 1925 and December
1885. This brought the market
down to about 10 to Is points
Oh yesterday ClOSiHS QuotdtiOhS,
which had shown a decline of about
25 to 27 points from Thursdays
prices. A moderate amount of trade
buying on the scale down and some
profit-taking by the shorts furn-
ished the principal buying power
throughout this decline OF late in
the morning.
The present worlds visible sup
ply of all kinds of cotton is 6,76S,ooo
bales against 6,02S,000 at this time
last year. OF this amount 4,473,000
bales are of American product
against 4,0ss,0os last year. The CEN
sus bureaus report, out this morn
ing, on the American mill consump-
ton of cotton for the month Of
April, proved about as expected, and
was therefore no new factor to in
fuence either local trade or market
sentiment. 1t shows 4os,SS2 bales
were consumed against 566,0oo in
April last year. This makes the to-
tai American mill consumption OF
cotton from August 1 to date but g.
576,234 bales, against 4,7s7,713 the
same time last year. All OF these
figures are without linters.

PHILADELPHIA, May IL. = A
point was reached In the forward
movement OF general business here
this week where, in isolated cases,
a scarcity Of goods was created.
This was far from being typical of
the whole situation, but it revealed
the extent to which shutting down
of production since the first of the
year has resulted in small supplies
of materials in first hands. Much
to the surprise of business inter
ests, the volume of retail demand
is expanding. being almost equal to
that at the corresponding time in
1890. This is difficult to explain
in the face Of large unemployment
in this section. Bankers attribute
il to the fact that people are living
on previous savings. The demand Is
described as "necessitous." In any
event 1t has facilitated the liquics-
ton OF commercial accounts at
banks more rapidly than was
thought possible a month ago. The
same statement is not applicable to
Industrial lines, and this is borne
out by the fact that bank clearings
here are running more than 500
100000 a day behind the turnover
at this time twelve months ago.
