COTTONDROPSTO 8 HEW I Oii LEVEL 11 Southern Hedge Selling and No Spot Demand Cause of De cline in Staple. I NEW YORK. Aug. 27.—Weak cables and excellent weather conditions over ; night caused a resonant of yesterday’s ,; downward movement on the cotton mar- I i kei 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 ■ early range. The decline soon reached 15 points for the active months with very | I little support save scattere . covering by , i shorts. At the end of 15 minutes the l‘s\ ■ was *»ff 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 la ip fore noon trading began to buy heavily and i through their aggressiveness prices devol- i oped on upward tendency regaining (he I early decline in most 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 back and below the early losses, j The entire list being under the 11c level; October and January receded to 10.78 with | i December only 10 points better with the j entire list aggregating a 5$ 14 point de-, cline from the opening Sentiment gen- 1 erally continued very bearish while the i weather and crop news was still favor- j able. At the close the market was steady with prices showing a net decline of 9 to I 13 points from the final quotations of Monday. RANGE OF NEW YORK FUTURES.

Houston wires: "Interior again easier. Look tor pressure from accumulating cot |tor; demand disappointing " The New Orleans Times Democrat 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 market 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, I 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 ring*' <>f course there has been plenty of talk J abeut crop improvement in such states ■as Georgia. Mississippi and Oklahoma All of which served to embolden the op I era tors on ’he short side, it Is probable, however, that the European spinner hesi ! fates more because the market is not I steady than because values are too high, ias 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.
