Weekly Cotton S United States Total Number of Bales Shipped I Half Million Mark-Engli Pressure to FOI Order 1 40 ' (By Animated Prwra ) NEW YORK. Feb., 5.-Cotton baa been more or less irregular during thc pant week, but thc undertone has been generally steady, and prices have shown an advancing tendency with October contracts selling up to 9.40 or about 27 points above the low level reached at the end of last month. Reactions occurred during today's session and sentiment at the close of the week was rather nervous and un settled, owing to apprehensions that roccnt war developments might result in checking the export movement. . Advances earlier in the week re flected an improved trade demand, ac companied ky report i of increasing activity among the- domestic mills, while there also was rcbuying by old longs or covering by shorts.

They totalled 585.032 bales, of which 4S3,-17fi went to foreign coun tries and 101,550 moved coastwide. While SJ was known throughout the week that tho movement would be large, lt was expected that lt would go so far over the half million mark. Thc.ic unprecedented clearances were made possible by the enormous ac cumulation of cotton at the ports, stocks tonight amounting to 1,925,674 hales, and the seemingly insatiable demand from abroad. Foreign exports thus far this season amount to 4, 120,257 bales. The large exports, coupled with the very hcavymlll takings for the week, FAMILY AVOIDS SERIOUS SICKNESS By Beicg Constantly Supplied With T?n:Yi?id'* Black-Draagnt, McDuff, Va.-"I suffered for several ?rears," says Mrs. J.

The factors most emphasized around thc ring, however, were spot houses buying, continued firmness of Southern spot markets, and failure of i recent advances to attract any large shipments of cot;.m here for contract delivery. Relative firmness In Liver pool apparently created little buying Vower here, owing to expectations of I wider difference "between the two .Harket:;, partly as a result of restric tions on arbitrage business from this side after the* new- cotton futures bill goes into effect. Reports that Russian 'and ^German buyers wore withdrawing from the market probably' encouraged some of the selling on advances. ?10,000 bales against 363.000 inls week last year, gave decided prominence to reports from Manchester and Liv erpool that many English mill i arc under greater pressure to fill orders .han they have been for 30 to 40 years and that Manchester merchants are figuring on orders for war material which run up into the millions of yards. Reports from Southern ports that cotton ?3 going on shipboard at a rapid rate, the heavy port stocks and reports of increased activity among the mills led to predictions tonight that there would be no falling off in the outward movement, of cotton dur ing thc next several weeks unless naval warfare in thc wntcrs adjacent ] to Great Britain should take a turn decidedly unfavorable to shipping.

' The great advance In thc price of wheat, duo primarily to the urgent world demand, ls enriching the agri culturists of thc West and ls contrib uting to Increased commercial pros perity .in that section, though the vio lence of the movement produces some concern as to Its other effects. The recent ria? in cotton, with expansion i of exports, has reduced in consider able degree the sharp depression in the South, caused by the war.

Feb. 5.-Cotton was very nervous and unsettled today, but a sharp early break was partly re Icovered and the close, was stead/at a net loss of 5 to 8 points. After opening steady at an advance : of 1 point to a decline of 1 point in I response to Relatively steady cables, the market weakened under heavy abd more or fess general liquidation. This. appeared chiefly due to appre Admiralty's Froclamatio Depressioi (l\y AsKori-itcd Pm*.) NEW YORK, Feb., 6.-Latest for eign developments as embodied tn the proclamation of the German admiralty regarding the marine war tone formed the basis of general discussion in financial circles today and added to the feeling of depression in specula tive quarters. Liquidation on a broader scale than any recently wit nessed attended the day's fairly large operations. International shares being again the centers of attack. Canadian Pacific, Southern Pacific, New York central add Reading show ed losses at one ?stage of the session of two or more points, the movement finally extending to the grangers and Southern railways.

United States Steel s.jod out as the strongest of the j W ading stock, although declining un der 40 when tbc unloading process . r.'?s under full swing. J Canadian Pacific at 153 3-4 and I Southern Pacific at 81 1-4 were within ! fractional limits of their minimum . price J, while New Haven fell 1 1-2 I .o its mrnimurn of 49. due largely to its unfavorable statement of Decem I hcns!ons that thc German wur zone declaration as published herc before the opening might interfere wjth chipping. Wall Street and western houses sold very actively on the. break which carried prlcos about ll to 11 points net lower. Weakness in thc stock market may hav? contributed to these offerings, I while there was also nome confusion ' resulting from a misconstruction of ccrtai nparagraphs from treasury do pai tment regulations in connection with tho colton futures law which takes effect on Fobruary 18. Somo I traders evidently mistook these ex tracts as indicating e. tax would bc imposed on all luture transactions on exchanges, whereas they merely pro dded for collection of a tax on trad ing illegal contracts.
