NEW YORK, May 25,-The stock market was subjected to further drastic liquida tion today carrying prices to a new low level for the year. The tide of selling was at one time pretty effectually checked and prices established at a- substantial recovery from the low point by the determined sup port of Important banking Intrresls and their persistent bidding up of prices. But the pressure became more severe than ever after the buying demand was seen to have oeen witncirawn at the higher level and prices plunged from the Highest to the lowest point of the day. There were some feverish rallies due to the buying to take quick profits by the room shorts, but the closing was unsettled and unsteady and not much above the low point on the aver age. There was do new development to explain the heavy selling and it was evi dently due to general causes and the dis couraging effect of last week's prices. There was a large accumulation of selling orders to be worked off in the opening deal ings. Houses with out of town wire con nections were very large sellers and much liquidation was attributed to Pittsburg and Chicago sources. This gave rise to re ports during the morning that the condi tion of the cotton market and damage to the wheat crop were responsible for the weakness of stocks. It was this accumu lated selling that the supporting Interests In the market had to contend with In the task they had set themselves and which seemed to be achieved before noon. The Interests which have underwritten the New Pennsylvania stock Issue and those con nected with the United States Steel syndi cate were supposed to have a share in the support of the market. Buying for London account also helped to absorb the ac cumulation of selling orders. Later In the day London turned to the selling side and sold heavily. The second period of weak ness seemed to grow out of the conspicu ous selling of Rock Islands. The seemingly unending stream of St. Paul stock coming upon the market also had a sinister effect. The origin and the motive of this selling which seemed to be concentrated In char acter was the subject of much animated gossip all through the financial district. There was talk of dissension In tho ranks of the controlling Interest of the Rock Island project. Assertions were freely made of the recall of loans on an enorm ous scale with the Implied deduction of disciplinary purpose against undue indul gence and speculative excess both In cotton and In stocks. The support of this morn- ng, which waa clearly by large banking nterests seems to conflict with the view that the later liquidations was forced by peremptory recall of banking credits. The engagement of f300.000 in gold for export to Germany waa a disagreeable supplement to the day's heavy outgo to South America. But the best nrlces of the day for stocks were made after the gold engagement waa announced. The dlaturbea: labor situation and the progress of the fued between the Pennsylvania ana tne wester onion were rilsturhlnz factors. The former tone of discussion, which took the form of surmise as to what the possibility or industrial re action was Impairing the value of securi ties seems to have changed to a question whether the persistent decline in securities Is not a symptom 01 some unreveaica un health in the Industrial situation. a war. weak In vmnnthv with stocks.

NEW YORK. May 25 COTTON The market opened firm, 2 points lower to t points higher, and ruled comnaratlvel v quiet. The Initial losses were confined to the old crop positions and were In sympathy with the early Liverpool cables, which were rather below expectations on these positions, while the new crop waa firmer than was considered probable, due to the local closing of Saturday. Right after the can, nowever, tne wnoie market waa ral lied sharply, partially by the strength In New Orleans and partly bv the southern buying orders. July sold up from 11.06c, the lowest price on the call, to 11.2Kc. August, opening at 10.67c, advanced to 10.85c, while September, opening at 9.64c, advanced to 9.98c. The firmness at New York waa at tributed to the presence of the bull leader In that market, and It waa also thought that the rush or southern buying orders re celved here probably originated from that source. The Increased activity waa of but short duration, however, and this market became comparatively quiet, with prices ahowlng a reactionary movement tonight under selling for both accounts. Thla was encouraged by favorable weather. Port re ceipts for the day were 4.217 bales, aaralnst 1.961 bales last year. Still there aeemed to be more or less uneasiness as to the show Ing to be expected from the weekly crop report due at noon tomorrow, and shortly after mid -day, when a loss of 3t points rrom tne nest ot tne morning nan Deen re corded, the market again turned firm. though without showing any appreciable Increase In activity, and advanced to a new nign level ror tne day, July reaching 11 30c and the general list a level 10 30 points higher, with the late months still exhibiting especial firmness. From this there was a partial reaction under realizing, but the market was finally steady, net 2f(Tl3 points higher. Total sales of futures estimated at 3UU,uuu bales.

At the start there were possible a few loads that sold l'Vpl6c lower, but the general market was right artung 6c lower than the close of lust week. After packers had their more urgent orders filled they were very In dlnerent so that the late market waa aln and weak at the decline. The bulk of the hOKS sold at rlalit around If, OK or f mm 6 00 to 16 07V,. Tha prime loads aold mostly irom 06 to 16.10. salesmen were slow to tafle oft as much as puckers wanted them to so the day was well advanced before the bulk waa disposed of. Today s decline carries the market to the lowest point reached since December 19 of last year. Representative aa es: No. 76... 66... 66... 69... Kl... 64... 80... 76... 86... 78... 68 68 Av.
