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

Will h?> Kcdccmod by ItaBMM'ratio

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.
