New York, Dec. 21.—Seldom, if ever, has the cotton trade experienced such @ sensational change from extreme strength to weakness verging on de- moralization as that which occurred in_today’s future market.

March contracts, for in- stance, sold up to 17.67, or 43 points above last night's closing figures, and buyers were encouraged by sharp ad- vances in.Liverpool, a jump of a pen- ny a pound in the Egyptian market, and rumors that leading German steamship lines were preparing to re- sume sailings before the end of the winter. The advance was checked by realiz- fng, however, and after the publica- tion of Secretary Lansing’s statement, the market became extiraordinarily ac- tive and excited. Prices melted away, in many cases declining 10 points be- tween sales, while selling orders seem- | ed to be reaching the ring from all directions and may stop orders were uncovered on the break. Before the close March contracts had sold at 16.22, a decline of 145 points from the high levels of the morning and of over a-cent a pound from last night's clos- Ing figures. Last prices were at the lowest point of the day, Wwith the officias tone’ Ir- regu'ar and excited and with active months showing declines of about $23 a bale from the high records estab- lished just before Thanksgiving.
