SEVERE BREAK INV
 PRICES OF COTTON
Heavy Selling By South Is Con-
 tributing Factor

NEW YORK, Feb. 14.-There was a severe break in the cotton market here today under heavy selling, which seemed to come largely from the south and was accompanied by reports that stocks of cotton goods and yarns was aecu- mulating at the mills. May contracts, which had sold at 1925 at the open ing on the report of the census bureau htat domestic mills had consumed 676,- GA bales for the month of January, compared with 461 ,56O last year, broke to 32,27 during the afternoon, or 73 points below yesterdays closing quota tions. July showed even greater weak ness, selling off to 30.75A making de- cline of 90 points. New crop months were relatively quiet and steady, but October eased off to 27.4S, compared with 27.76 at the close of yesterday.
 Liverpool and New Orleans were both heavy sellers here and the market re- mained under pressure late in the af- ternoon, with May selling off to 32.O5, or the lowest price touched since the beginning of the decline from the 37- cent level at the end of last November. Closing quotations were about the low est, with the market easy at net de- clines of 90 to 113 points on present crop months and of 39 to 100 points on later deliveries.

STOCK LETTERS

NEW YORK, Feb. 14.--Rallying ten dencies were in evidence today when it was realized that the recent drives against values had not brought out much real stock and that the short in terest was becoming somewhat anxious. There was considerable covering in American Can, Baldwin, Studebaker and United States Steel, resulting in gains of a point or more, which were slightly shaded again near the close. While it is perhaps not correct to say the trend has turned upward, it is be- coming evident that during the pres ent drifting period there are plenty of buyers on setbacks. Copper issues showed greater strength than any other group and held thin gains right up to the close.-Fenner & Beane.
 NEW YORK, Feb. 14.-The deplor- able oil scandal seems to monopolize the papers these days and Is apparently uppermost in every ones mind. It is a bad business from any standpoint, but we believe that we have heard about the worst of 1t, and we hope from now on it will gradually subside. The mar ket today has been very mixed. It open ed heavy and has not rallied to any great extent, although, generally speaking, prices are better than they were at the opening. The Coppers have been the conspicuous feature and they are very strong, due to reports of Eu- ropean purchases and the generally strong technical position in the trade. Total. sales, 1,056, ,600-Post &s Flagg.

BUYING HEAVY
 CURB REC0VERS
List Grows Stronger After . Reactionary
 Period

NEW YORK, Feb. 14.-Reactionary price tendencies prevailed in the early part of today's curb market, but the list made irregular recovery later under the impulse of fresh buying and heavy short covering.
 Speculative interest centered largely in the oil shares. Standard Oil of In- diana, the most active feature, closing at 61%, for a net gain of more than one point. Vacuum and Cities Service each gained about a point, but Prairie Oil and Gas closed 21a lower at 23S1a. Con siderable Activity took place in Lago Petroleum in the late dealings, the stock rising 3@3A.
 Few important changes took place among the industrials. Common stock of the Hazel Line corporation was ad- mitted to trading and sold between 14 and 15A. Glen Alden Coal dropped nearly a point. Dubilier Radio was active around it's recent high price, and Kresge improved fractionally.

GRAIN LETTERS

CHICAGO, H., Feb. 14.-Wheat: More active trade, with general short covering early and new investment buy ing on the revival of expectations for raise in the import duty, stronger Liverpool cables than expected, and re- turn of strength in corn. There were also many complaints of poor appear ance of growing wheat. The selling ap- peared to have spent itself and the mar ket met with little opposition, until fair gains had been made, on the, ad- vance, however selling became fairly general and best prices were not held, And the market closed at higher than the low point of the day.
 Corn: Commission houses and locals took profits on the advance and caused some reaction from high prices. Trade active, with sentiment more confident and general short covering early. Cash trading basis steady to 11sc lower, the decline being on the off-grades. Ship ping sales, 77,000 bushels, of which 42,s GOO were to exporters. Eastern inter ests report increased country offerings of corn and the increased consignment notices with lack of demand. It will be difficult to bull corn very much un- til this condition is corrected.-Fenner G Beane.

BUTTER MARKET

CHICAGO. Feb. 14.-The butter mar ket here was weak and unsettled at Ac lower prices on S9 score and above today. Early business on 92 score was at 50hc, but as stocks failed to reduce satisfactorily, offerings at soc were made later in the day. The demand was not stimulated. The supply of 8S score and under was none too liberal, and buyers paid yesterdays prices for the few small lots purchased. The car market was weak and inac- tive at lower prices. Concessions un- doubtedly could have been obtained at the close.
 Fresh butter: 92 score, 50@50hc; 91 score, 49Hc; 90 score, 49c; S9 score, A8Ac; Ss score, 4sc; S7 score, 47hc; s6 score, 461sc.
