NEW YORK.—There was contin ued heavy liquidation In tho cotton market nt the opening today. Tho big break following yesterday's gov ernment crop report, evidently brought In a great many overnight seiUfig rrdern and the opening a decline of 10 to 45 points In consequence. Selling on the hope ood, of Improving crop conditions and belief that the low end May condi tion has been discounted, was prob ably encouraged by weakness In tho early stock market and reports of continued slow trade In cotton goods. October sold off to 23.75 with the general list showing net losses of 52 to 56 points before the end of the first half hour. Liquidation tapered off after and after the break to 22.75 for October prices rallied sharply on covering fofr tho w^ek-end.
