New York Cotton
By the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, November l4.-Cotton
futures opened barely steady, 2 to
lower on Indifferent Liverpool cables
and under Southern selling. Deem
Der, 1891; January, 1885; March,
1910; May, 1898; July, 1881; octo-
Der, 1909.
There was continued December
liquidation and some scattered SELL
ing, while Southern hedging was said
to be a little more active than re-
Gently. These initial offerings were
absorbed by trade buying or cover
ing, however, while Liverpool was cred
tied with buying here on differences
after the call and prices steadied up
a few points during the early trading.
December was selling around 1882
and March, 1914 at the end Of the
first half hour, making the market
about net unchanged to 2 points
lower.
The report Of the Census Bureau
showing domestic consumption Of 520,-
$40 bales for October, against 295, $50
the previous month and 504,055 last
year, was about in line with expecta-
tons and without apparent market in
f1uence. Liverpool cables said that
scattered hedging against outside
growths and some liquidation in that
market had been absorbed by trade
calling at the decline, and reported
continued inquiry for cotton cloths in
Manchester with fair business. Some
Of the early buying here may have
been encouraged by overnight reports
of a good business in the local cloth
market yesterday.
The market continued steady later
in the morning. The buying by houses
with Liverpool connections was q
sustaining factor during the first hour,
while there was further spot house
buying of December and later in the
forenoon offerings were comparatively
light. Prices held within a narrow
range with December selling around
1890 and March 1912 at midday or
about to points net lower.

i. 5. ISSUES GAIN
MARKET SUPPORT
Corporate Loans, However,
Sag in Late Trading
in Bonds.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, November 14.-United
States Government issues were well
supported, but many of the corporate
loans sagged in the late trading. Rails
and utilities yielded the most ground,
with the latter showing sympathetic
concern with common stocks over rate
and municipal ownership problems.
At the start of the last hour Treas
ury loans were unchanged to 5-32 of
a point higher. Home Owners Loan
Corp. 234s recorded a new high at
95.l3. up 11-32 Later they receded
slightly from this level.
The foreign division was irregular,
with French government issues show
ing sizeable gains.
Carrier Division Selling.
Selling in the carrier division con-
verged on the issues of st. Paul and
some of the other weaker roads. St.
Paul SIS Of 1875 led the decline with
loss of 4 points, which brought the
price down to 1914. From this level
the bonds rallied moderately. The
selling here was not accounted for by
any recent news affecting the prop
erty.
There were losses ranging to around
point in loans Of Erie, Chile Copper,
International Telephone, Nickel Plate,
Postal Telegraph, Southern Railway
and United Drug. Consolidated Gas
512s yielded slightly under small sales.
List of Gamers.
The list of gamers, which in most
cases added but small fractions to
values, included American g. Foreign
Power SIS, Baltimore & Ohio 41as,
Goodyear IS, Kansas Gas & Electric
412s, New York Central SIS, North
American SIS and Phillips Petroleum
514s.
Polish bonds rallied briskly follow
ing yesterdays slump, but maximum
recovery of 8 points was cut down a
bit by renewed selling. The early
range was 113-10912. Other foreign
issues were quiet. Canadian As eased
little. while obligations of Argentina,
Australia, Belgium and Great Britain
improved within fractional limits.

DEADLY GERMAN GAS
METHOD REPORTED
Discovery Makes Poison Fumes
Persist Eight Days, Says
French Newspaper.

By the Associated Press.
PARIS, September 1s.-The news
paper lie Jour said today method
which makes poison gases deadly for
eight days has been perfected by
German chemists.
A special absorbent clay is i'm
pregnated with gases, then dried and
sprayed from an airplane exhaust in
powder form, the newspaper said.
lie Jour's correspondent said he fol-
lowed the experiments at the Oster
Riederer factory. in Bavaria. and that
the results were regarded as highly
satisfactory by the German general
staff.
Ground sprayed by the powder, it
was claimed, forms an impregnable
barrier, preventing not only the occu-
patton of strategic positions by troops,
but making the evacuation Of cities
by civil populations impossible.
