New York, Nov. 16.?Cotton haa de? clined owing to a heavy liquidation at home and abroad, large receipt* and persistent reports of a falling off In the demand for spot cotton In the south. TIN recent big riso in cotton was mainly based on the active call for the actual cotton at Southern ports, large? ly for Kurope. but to some extent for American Spinner.-?. This business was done, It was generally conceded, at an unusually high basis, especially for good, white cotton, which most reports agree was none to easy to buy. Kxports also have been catching up. Manchester has been doing a good business at firm prices. German mills of other countries of Continental Europe are at last fairly well engaged ahead. In this country an excellent ?uslness In cotton goods has been done. The print sales of rail Klver last week were of the largest for a long period. Prices of goods have cither advanced or else have remained firm or else in some cases discounts have been re? duced, something in itself tantamount to a rise In prices. What is more, it is a fact not gen ? rally known that Japanese mills are caught napping. It Is not believed that the New England mills are any too well supplied with the raw ma? terial either. At the same time they are making money as they have not made money for years past. The crop I < .-lints from Egypt are less favor? able. Wheeras at one time the crop ?f that country was estimated at eight million cantars. it is now estimated at 7.500,000. Yet the foregoing factors hove had less Influence than the decreased de? mand for spot cotton, the large re? ceipts at all the ports and Interior (owns, the disturbed political situation in Kurope. the fear at one time of the downfall of the Liberal ministry in England, the fear of serious compu? tations growing out of the settle? ment or readjustment of political con? ditions in Southeastern Europe, raised by the Balkan war. heavy liquidation In New York and Liverpool partly on ?tog OTderO, the overturning of pyra? mids here, the frightened selling of el.-verth hour bulls, and finally some tendecy to Increase crop estimates.

DcttOOffttf will Begin Work Without Delay; CongroNtH will be falle?! to Meet Early in April by Preeldeot Wilson?Tariff ItevlHinii Pledge* Will h?> Kcdccmod by ItaBMM'ratio party?Presldent-Eleoi <i<H>* to IW'rtmulas for Hont. New York. Nov. 16.?OOV. Wilson announced tonight that Immediately after his Inauguration as president he would call an extraordinary session of congress to conve ne not lster than April 15 for the purpose of revising the tariff. Tho president-elect will sail for the Bermuda Islands at 2 o'clock tomor? row afternoon for a vacation and will return December 16. To let at rest In thi meantime speculation as to what he would do with regard to tariff re? vision, he has issued this statement: "I shall call congress together In extraordinary session not later than April 15. 1 shall do this not only because I think the pledges of the party ought to be redeemed as promptiy as possible, but also be? cause 1 know it to be in the interest of business that all uncertainty as to what the particular Items of tariff revision are to be should be removed as soon as possible." Beyond this brief announcement the governor said he had nothing fur? ther to say. Most of the opinion he had received from public men seemed to be in favor of an extra session, ho declared. The governor did nut In? tend to express himself ubout an ex? tra session so soon after his election. Although he has favored the Idea of an extra session because the present arrangement would not bring the new congress into session until 13 months after its election he had expected to spend more time in ascertaining pub? lic opinion. With the time to be consumed in discussion the governor felt that if an extra session were not called the benefits of tariff revision would be postponed for practically two years. Throughout the campaign the gov srnor reiterated that he desired an im? mediate revision of the tariff and that the DemOCrsiQ leaders knew perfectly well how to proceed about It. The governor was impressed by argument also that with an early an? nouncement M to an extra session Democratic leaden In congress could begin to take counsel at an early date so that much of the pre liminary de? tail could be worked out before con? gress convened April 15. The gov? ernor was prompted, incidentally in making his early announcement by the fact that many members of con? gress were desirous of arrangitig for tccommodetlons in Washington f?r the extra session if there was to be one. Though the president-elect means to rest while In Bermuda, he really expects to give a good deal of time to QUlel thought about the problems that face hint. He will sketch his annual mssssgs to the New Jersey legislature and will do some extensive reading on data on the tariff monopolies, banking and currency reforms, and other issues. The governor came to New York tonight to attend tho dinner giv? en in his honor by his classmates, Princeton '79. Hs expected to have no political conferences while in tho metropolis ami teemed fully confident that he would nt>t be disturbed by any political callers while resting in Bermuda. All the prominent men In the campaign just closed, the governor sa d. know bis intention of postponing the consideration of political subjects until his return. "I'll feel like dancing a jig when I get aboard that boat," said the presi? dent-elect as be left. Princeton today. Mrs. Wilson and her three daughters accompanied him. Oddly enough there was a special tar in the same train, en route from Philadelphia to New York, carrying 1?'> t aslness men, one of whose number wai paying a bet of $5,000 which hs wagered that Dem? ocratic president would not be elected this year. Charles B. Pretty man, a real estate man of Philadelphia, who won the bet was, however, according to olie of the Conditions, to Spend $1,500 foi a dinner In New York for a paiiy if 1?'. business friends. The governor smiled when he learn? ed of the affair. Th?' president-elect will sail on the steamship Bermuda, one of the regular boats plying between New Vork and Hamilton, Bermuda, Besides tin Wilson family, a st< nographer ami ihres sen tnts, there will b< 10 n pap< i ' orrespondents along, The pari will arrive in Bermuda Monday. The president-elect has leased ? cottage in a reinott part of one of the islands, where for several years he has spent his vacation. Immediately upon his :,rri\ai m Bermuda he will call upon the governor of the isi.md and request him to consider bis presence in Ber? muda entirely Informal and unofficial. "I'm going to try i e ?incog,'" said Oov Wilson tonight, Mae that i may have t.o functions of any kind while then " Mr Robert McKay loft Pi :.i tj morning for a Visit to relatives at t hailotto.
