COTTONDROPSTO I NEW LOW LEVEL i Southern Hedge Selling and No Spot Demand Cause of De cline in Staple. i NEW YORK, Aug. 27. Weak cables i and excellent weather conditions over night caused a resonant of yesterday’s , downward movement on the cotton mar- : ket today with first prices a net decline of 5 to 12 points from last night's close. • After the call heavy liquidation prevailed ' and prices receded a few points from the j early range. The decline soon reached 15 points for the active months with very j little support save covering by j shorts. At the end of 15 minutes the list ' was off 11 to 14 points from the previous I • lose. The most important factor ; from the broken drought in Arkansas and ! North Carolina, also the beneficial rains | in southeast Texas and central and east ern states. The Waldorf crowd during the late fore noon 1 trading began to buy heavily and through their aggressiveness prices devel oped on upward tendency regaining the early decline in iriost active positions. During the afternoon session a renewal selling wave prevailed on Southern hedge selling and reports of lower basis of spots and spinners withdrawing their attention from the market. This caused a sudden backward movement and prices quickly reacted hack and below the early losses. The entire list being under the 11c level October and January receded to 10.78 with December only 10 points better with the entire list aggregating a sftl4 point de cline from the opening Sentiment gen erally continued very bearish while the weather and crop news was still favor able. At the close the market was steady with prices showing a net decline of 9 to 13 points from the final quotations of Monday. RANGE OF NEW YORK FUTURES.

General rain in central and east ern states, just what was needed. Some tine rains in Arkansas and general rains in North Carolina, where drouth is now broken. Most favorable feature of today’s map is that temperatures in central and eastern states are lower and the danger of a damaging heat spell has once more been eliminated. Liverpool cables: "Expert further de cline.” Reported here that Pell X’ Co. are now advising purchases. Liverpool cables: "Market steadier for the moment, but still broadly lower." Houston wires: "Interior again easier. Look for pressure from accumulating cot ton; demand disappointing." The New Orleans Tinies I Jemocrat says: Monday's decline surprised both factions, but changed nobody's views, as almost everybody is bearish. Two influences were at work. Europe was not inclined to buy for forward delivery in an unset tled martlet and Galveston’s receipts have been climbing up to last year’s fig ure very rapidly. Under these circum stances supply merchants have offered cotton on a comparatively low basis, trusting to suspended demand and free movement to pull them through, and the gossip incident to such transactions sim ply pulled the props from under the rings. Os course there has been plenty of talk about crop improvement in such states as Georgia. Mississippi and Oklahoma. All of which served to embolden the op erators on the short side. It is probable, however, that the European spinner hesi tates more because the market is not * steady 'than because values are too high, i as contrasted with the value of the man- I ufactured article, and it is also probable I that exporters will display more caution lin selling ahead against forward pur chases In the interior than some of them I have shown so far. i Estimated receipts Wednesday: l New Orleans 700 to 900 2.637 Galveston 13,000 to 14.500 16,876 I cotton Market opinions. Thompson, Towle & Co.: "We under- ■ stand American spinners are likely to he I good buyers and the total visible supply i is bought so largely in excess of last year Jas to encourage a holding back of this demand.” Bailey X’ Montgomery: "The fact is that while most people are bearish the short interest may be quite large, and this may make further selling risky." Stemberger, Sinn & Co.: "We would be cautious about buying and then onl> on good sharp breaks, ami would again take advantage of any rally to sell on." Miller & Co.: "Do not follow this ile cline.” J. S.
