NEW YOIIK, Dec. 10. Tho rejection by
tho Jiusslan Duma of a "prenintura peace"
and othor war news published this morn
ing caused a cautious policy at tho opening
Of the Cotton Uxchango, mid tho market
was more narrow than It has been In many
months. Tho tono was easy, with prices
down 3 lo 0 points.
A prominent commlsaiou house was tho
leading seller, but other commission houses
were moderate buyers. A supply en mo from
Wall street, and Liverpool sold March and
.May, but purchased July and October.
Itoom operators were moderate purchasers.
Tho market declined soma 20 to 2C points
before the break wan checkod by demand
trom spot firms, shorta nnd soveral of tho
old bulls. Western and Wall street Inter
tits wero leading sellers during the tlrst
hour, the total offerings from theso sources
belnir estimated at from 40,000 to 110,000
bales In tho first hour.
A rally In tho second hour carrlod prices
to within 3 to 4 points of Friday's close. At
this level active renewal of Wall street
and wlro houso selling decloped and prices
again liroko sharply.
A fcaturo of th trading was tho soiling
of 20,000 bales of May In tho ilnal flvo min
utes of tho session, tho operation represent
ing the liquidation of a long lino, accord
ing to gossip.
Tho clono was unsettled, at a net decllno
or 31 to 40 points.
Karly southorn dispatches reflected no
chsngo In spot conditions.
Although temperatures wero higher In
most sections of the Houth this morning,
,kng frosts were reported from the south
ern portions of Texas, Louisiana, Alabama,
Georgia and Florida.
Tho receipts at the ports for the day
were estimated at 25,000 bales, against 34,
374 bales last week and 29,(104 bales last
year.

Trade Commission will sooii'ho In a posi
tion to place the responsibility" for present
unprecedented now print paper prices.
Commissioner Davles announced today
Davles's Intimation of "responsibility"
canto today at ho clono of a joint heurlng
of the manufacturers and the newspaper
publishers hefora the commission.
Whatever the outcome of today's concilia
tion coiifurenco between committees of llio
manufacturers and publishers toward re
lieving the print paper shortage, tho Fed
eral Trade Commission will continue Its In
vestigation to a decision, Davles stutrd
Proposals for n pro rata distribution of
tho 1917 news print paper supply to Insiiio
publishers, particularly rural neuapupers,
against closing down for lack of paper, wero
considered at a Joint conference this after
noon In executive session.
A proposal by the .States Consolidated
rresa Associations provided distribution of
tho 1917 supply bused 011 1915 purchases.
Papers already under contract for 1917 are
to bo given tlio option or abrogating tliese
contracts or participating In this pro rutu
distribution.
"Reasonableness of prices" will bo de
termined by tho Federal Trade Commis
sion "quality" to be "not below that of
November, 1915."
Evidence tending to support charges of
Illegal discrimination against publishers
who have protested against "ruinous
prlpes" were, laid lefor the commission by
F. a, CI lues, of Alabama, president of the
American Newspaper Publishers' Associa
tion. a Lass read a telegram from u, publisher
who said that he had received on the same
dny telegrams from two branch ottlces of
a large news print payor manufacturer.
One, he vald, offered him all the news print
paper he desired for (3.10 per hundred
pounds; tho other said the company was
unabfe to furnish any paper until June of
ngjtf year
Denial of any great paper shortag was
made by William .' Rtdgeway, of New
York, secretary of the National Paper
Trade Association the ofilolal jabbers' or
ganisation. ItWgeway charged the present
"shortage." was largely mythical and
"created by panio-strteksn publishers." Ha
declared tha jobber had nothing to do
with tho prices and, liyleed, were suffer
ing equally with the. publisher
Additional evidence tamifng to show ex
lsteneo of a paper frunt will bo formally
filed with the Department of Justice within
the next few .Juys by 8 North itarollna
publisher.

The Philadelphia stock market In the
short session today continued to be doml-
r nated by Wall street Traders here, for
the most part, waited to see what would
happen on the big board before making
any new commitments to speak of, nnd even
then the buylnrr for new account was small
Interest was confined to a few Issues Most
of tho changes were to higher levels, nnd
gains of a point and more were general,
Ijike Huperlor livened tip the proceedings
n little hut not to any great extent at
that. In the Initial dealings thero was
nn ndvance nf more than a point, the losi
sustained yesterday being entirely recov
ered l-'rom the best price there was a
reaction, but all of the gain was not wiped
out

DEMAND FOR STEEL
IS SLIGHTLY LOWER
Authorities Report No Signs of
Effect From Pence Proposals.
Ruilronds Not So Urgent
Although steel authorities report thnt no
signs of any effect from possible pence In
Uuropo have been displayed In the steel
market, It Is ndmltteil bv.othore that there
I not so great a demand ns there had
been previously It Is explained, however,
that this condition has lieon experienced
In the past for a few days nt n tlmo when
pciire was not lo he considered, mid there
fore. It i annul be definitely slated ns yct
whether or not the Herman proposals have
had liny Influence on condition
Ureal stress I being laid on the fact
that the gnater proportion of the foreign
union placed in tins country aro not sub
ject to cancellation, hut the Kuropeau huy
rrs have (he right to change specifications
desired, so that the export order taken
recently will not be withdrawn with tbe
establishment of peace
Sotno IticpilrIeK, which had been In the
market nnd on which strenuous efforts vvcie
being made by foreign representatives t0
get booking, whllo not withdrawn, have
heroine lean urgent, and It might be stnted
that a cautlom attitude can tie looked for
from buyers abroad until mure Is known
on tho pcaro outlook
HuIIio.uIh dining iho last vviek or ten
(lavs have been less urgent liuers than In
previous uoek. but this was expected In
view of tho many large orders thut bad been
placed. It In pointed out In the meet irmln
thnt the carriers of Oils country still have J
i..iiiu .i.uiiiiuiK io iii.siriuuio to the manu
facturer., but that under the piesent clr
riiuiHtnnces It would not he surprising If
they would go slow in making commitments
Car Inquiries have been mnnllcr recently,
but iho buying of spikes nnd track bolt
has brought about higher quotations for
these pioducts
Semifinished steel h rather scarce In
soino districts, and up to tho eurly part of
Mils vwck the (lemnnd had been much larger
than the makers would wish to encounter
Hven during tho last threo or four days
thtro have been man Inquiries.
