Doc. 27—THe bears were aggressive again In today's cotton mar Wt and after a quiet time at the opening the market ruled fairly active with prices breaking to below 7 cents for the near positions, and closing at practically the lowest 1 of the day. The opening was steady at an advnnce of 2 poIntH to a decline of 3 points'. Better cables than expected imparted steadiness to the early trading, but there was little nr no demand and after a quiet first hour, during which the bears seemed to be waiting for some support to develop and make a bulge to sell on, pressure became more marked. Later the selling for short account was swollen by liquidation as prices worked down, catching stop loss orders and, trad ing. which had beep restricted early by wire trouble, became more active. There seemed to he nothing li^the general news to encourage the decline, but the boars contended that the census report to be Issued tomorrow woqld.
