NEW ORLEANS. Nov. 1.-The public took more interest In developments abroad today owing to the imminence of @ break between England and Italy on one side, and France on the other. over the atti- tude of Poincare in . speech in the French Parliament.
 As result the trade was in more of nquidatiag mood than it has been for some time and a good many longs cashed their profits for fear of unfavorable deyel- opments overnight.
 Opening sales averaged 1S points over the previous finals, but were gradually the highest. After the first call prices gave way gradually. selling off 46 points from the opening and ending about 20 net lower.
 The advance at Liverpool was largely responsible for our good opening. but less attention was paid to that market today, as the public ia coming to realize that much of its upward movement Is due to the decline in sterling. Sentiment fs still strongly bullish, though enthusiasm on that side appears to be tempered some what and there is more disposition to watch developments abroad to determine the probable effect on our market.

If the foreign situation Is as menacng as some assert 1t falls to find any reflection in Liverpool where the chief problem seems how to get the cotton that has been sold. In our market dis cussion eenters mostly on the question of what price will actually serve. to keep consumption within the limits of a supply so scanty as promises to exist this year. Neither the figures that have so far been issued nor the action of the market itself suggests that a price adequate Tor that purpose has yet been reached.
 There is much natural hesitation about following further advances, but large quantity of buying remains to be done and 1t Is difficult to suggest any adequate source of supply.
 Sharp fluctuations must be allowed for, but good reactions will present opportuni- ties for purchases, of which advantage should be taken until there Is better eyi- dence that the situation is actually chang ing in way to insure that the supply will go round and leave something over at the end of the season.

 NEW YORK, Nov. 17.-Liverpool was again sharply higher this morning, but the trade paid less attention to this ad- change has widened out to such an extent In the past week. Of course. the widening of the sterling discount has a substantial effect upon the straddle differences be- kets. The decline of sterling is partly due to the foreign situation and in part to the purchases made in the south since business improved in Manchester, which bills at time when the market was de- clining. In New York cotton did not re- spond to the advance in Liverpool, the throughout the day We think this is a reflection of the foreign political news fin this mornings paper and also of the fact that small crop estimates no longer exer- else the. influence they. have heretofore this fall.
