New York Cotton Market. NEW YORK, opened steady at Feb. 5.—The cotton market decline of 10 points to an advance of 7 points, with the market deveiop- | ing greater firmness the call progressed. The ‘opening declines wers due to’ cRtinued liquidation and bear pressure, while the steadier tone was on less unfavorable war news than expected, the rally in the Liverpool market, where price, after opening 30 points lower, had Tallied to about the anticipated figures " T also developed that there was a good deal of bull support. Mr. Sully was buying, brokers repre- senting New Orleans were huyini and for the first twenty-five minutes the et ruled very firm, selling up to & net galn of from 31 to 34 points on the active months. But outside longs were still panicky and toward the end of the first half hour a well direct r attack broke prices a few polnts, outside liquidation became overwhelmingly active and the market in instant was plunged into wild excite- ment. Inside of an hour~prices had driven down until March was nllln‘ at 13.75¢, May at 13.98c #nd July at 14.10c, a net de- Cline of 110a121 (ointa on chm po-luon-, July on last Monday having sold at 17.55c.

The decline, however, attracted buying by Im- portant trading interests and prices soon ral- lied.

EEL e e SRR o * Future Grain and Provisions. 1 | CHICAGO, Feb. 5.—Exceptional activity was | displayed in the wheat pit at the opening to- day. Prices were extremely erratic and showed wide fluctuations, Owing to the acufeness of the war situation shorts appeared determined to even up trades with little regard to. prices. In this effort the price of May was forced Jgc above the high record mark registered yes- terday, the opening quotation belng %@ lsc lower to l;@3%e higher at 95@96c. July was a shade to %@%c lower at 85 @S5%c. . Within ten minutes from the time May had touched 96c the price had fallen to 93%5c, & drop of 2%c, while July had sold off to 84lc, ‘or 14" below the top figure. After the first minute or two of trading there was a flood of long wheat poured on the market and it seemed as though everybody had wheat for sale. Under this heavy pressure prices began to decline. Stop-loss orders came out and increased the downward tendency, and for a time the situation Jooked = extremely critical. The leader of ‘the bull crowd, bowever, suported the market . on the { May quickly advanced to Wie, while July steadied around S4¥c. ~Trading then devel- | oped into a rather tame affair, but the market Outside of the signs of impend- | ing war, rly news contained several items of lIrfl:d(ngl) bearish import. Receipts in the Northwest a Southwest were heavier than last year. Weather conditions on the Pa- cific Coast and the Southwest were materlally | improved, Argentina reported much more lib- 5 | eral shipments than a year ago. These factors nfivential in bringing out a lot of July . and, incldentally, had a depressing ef- fect on the May ootion. Fresh war rumors were circulated in the pit late In the day, re- sulting in another active buying movement, the bix bull overator being reported on that side of the market. The demand became so urgent the last few minutes that the early loss was all regained. Just before the close July sold up to S6l4c, and final figures were at S3%@S6, a net gain for the day of Kc. May closed at 3 loss of H@lgc. Aside from the heavy liquidation early in | the day, the most conspicuous feature in the corn market was the relative strength of the #| July aetivery. Heavy selling of May by some of the prominent holders caused a severe break early In Wbe session. The opening on May was unchanged to lec lower, at 5514@56c. Prices immediately started downward, and be- fore any support materialized May had sold off to 54%c. Laté in the day the market be- came exceedingly strong, and prices advanced above the opening le y_closed e Blgher, at B3gc, after selling at 663c. ranged between S1%c and 53ic, closing with a gain of 1%@1%¢, at 53%c. Oats followed the course of other grains. The close was at the top and on a level with yesterday's close. Local receints were 98 cars. Trading in provisions was active, but & a weaker tone prevafled. The decline in the grain pits and lower prices for hogs had a depressing influence early in the day, and the markét was unable to regain ‘osses sustained under liberal liquidation at that time. The close was steady at a small decline, May pork being off 1213c, at §13 60.
