HEM SLUMP IN COTTON i
th January Contracts and Spot Clos- j
ed at 12.35-- Ginning Report
Caused Opening Rise.
ve- York, Oct. 25. A sharp advance
jpjloived publication of . the census
:nning report 'at the opening of the
cotton exchange today but prices soon
weakened and ; there was a-, break of
approximately $2,00 per bale from the
best. January contracts sold at 12.72
early, touched 12.32 in the late trad
in and closed at 12.35, with the genr
ttal list easy at a net decline of 18 to
95 points. .
The market opened firm at an ad
vance of S to 19 points and the active
months sold 15 to 51 points net. higher
rinrinc the early trading.
"The census
rertort on ginning was aimusi exactly
in' lin with bullish predictions and
evidently promoted some re-buying, by
skiers of last week as Well as cover
ing of shorts. The demand was readi
ly supplied, however, and' the market
soon vumed easier, t
It was considered ;that the market's
action indicated that the ginning fig
ures had been fully discounted, and as
prices eased off the selling became
r.iore aggressive on reports, of weak
ness in" the market for sterling ex
change and a more unfavorable view
of the export situation.
Southern selling was heavy and . was
accompanied by reports that exporters
Were hedging in futures owin.g to the
tlaek fresh demand from -abroad,': and
sentiment seemed to be very much un
eld in late trading when Decem

FOREIGN EXCHANGE WEAKER
Demand Sterling Fell to 4.61 1-2 As
tivtry in Special Stock Continued
on Large Scale.
New York, Oct. 25.-Actlvity in spe
cial stocks continued on a, large scale
today, regardless of acute weakness
in foreign exchange. Demand sterling
fell to 461 1-2,. a .decline of 12 points
from the high point to which it re
covered a few weeks ago during the
Anglo-French loan negotiations and
only 11 1-2 points above the alarm
ingly low level in August.
Most other rorms of foreia-n remit
tance were lower, including francs and
ures and marks. It is 'becoming in
creasingly evident that the only solu-
uon or tnis proDiem lies in the estab
lishment of new foreign credits. Con
ferences with this end in view were
held by international banking inter
ests, today.
The higher prices scored today were
again limited to so-called war shares.
.ew records included Maxwell Motors
common 90 1-2, the second preferred
64, National .Enameling and Stamping
36 a-8 and American Linseed 81 1-8.
Among ' other Substantial gains were
general J&iectric 5 1-2, Baldwin Loco
motive 4, New York Airbrake 5 and
the fertilizers and oils, these gaining
2 to 4 points.
United States Steel's course was
watched with special interest because
of tomorrow's quarterly meeting of the
directors. Steel opened a fraction
higher, soon fell over a point and was
heaviest at the close, losing 1 1-8. The
best opinion is that no action on the
common dividend will be taken.
Erles were the outstanding features
of the. railways, the common advancing
3. 1-3, the first preferred 1 1-2 and the
second preferred 3 1-4. These repre
sents the highest quotations in 3 to 4
years. Erie common was only sec
ond in activity to steel. - Rails in gen
eral and specialties shaded considerably
toward the end. Total sales were 1,
150,000 shares.
The western freight movement is
substantially above last year's and
shows gains over 1913.- The govern
ment cotton ginning report was with
out effect on southern transportation
shares.
Bonds were steady at the outset, but
yielded slightly on increased offerings.
Total sales, par value, aggregated $4,
6d,ooo. Government bonds were un
changed on call.
