New Orleans, Feb. 28.-The cot ton market here last week was un- I tier almost continual selling pressure as the result of unfavorable senti ment created by lntdrovational poli tics. At its best the market stood only 4 to 14 points over the preced ing week's final quotations. At its lowest it was 30 to 37 points under. The close was at a not loss of 21 to 26 points. Bullish tra de ra pointed out that the market lv-.d undergone a long decline during Which a largo short .interest had been built up and at the same time brought forth figures to show that cotton mills were doing an unprecedented business at very high prices. But every timo tho market showed strength, unfavora ble comment regarding tho relations between Germany and this country had their effect. Thursday was first notice day for the March option, and tho very small amount of cotton tendered, only 4, 000 bales in this market, stimulated buying for a short period. On tho riso the usual unfavorable poltical talk made its appearance and some thing approaching a sensational de clino was made. This week the question of subma rine warfare promises to furnish the dominating influences. Any unfav orable turn In tho matter probably will lead to important fresh selling. Uncertainty and continued contro versy also probably would have an unfavorable effect. German U-Boats Sink Five.
