THE AT],ANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS.- CDTTONDROPSTO J NEW LOW LEVEL Southern Hedge Selling and No Spot Demand Cause of De cline in Staple. I I NJSW YORK, Aug. 27.—Weak .cables 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 early range. The decline so<»n reached 15 points for the active months with very little support save scattere . covering by shorts. At the end of 15 minutes the list was off 11 to 14 points from the previous dose. 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 trading began to buy heavily and through their-aggressiveness prices devel oped on upward tendency regaining the 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 spipners withdrawing their attention from the market. This caused a sudden backward movement and prkes quickly reacted back 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 5® 14 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 FUTURfS. I C i r- | I .

Some fine 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 mofe been eliminated. Liverpool cables: “Expert further de cline.' Reported here that Pell & Co. are now advising purchases. Liverpool cables: “Market steadier for the moment, but still broadly lowel.” Houston wires: “Interior again easier. Look for pressure from accumulating cot ton: demand disappointing" The New Orleans Times! )emocrat says: Monday's decline surprised both factions, but changed nobody's views, as almost everybody is bearish. Two influences were at wtork. 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, 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. Or course there has been plenty of talk about crop Improvement in such states as Georgia, Mississippi and Oklahoma. All of w'hich 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 |in selling ahead against forward nur • chases in the interior than some of tnem I have shown so far. i Estimated receipts Wednesday: | New Orleans 700 to 900 2.637 Galveston 13,000 to 14,500 16,876 | COTTON MARKET OPINIONS. Thompson, Towle & Co.; “We under stand American spinners are likely to be good buyers and the total visible supply is bought so largely in excess of last year as to encourage a holding back of this demand.” Bailey & Montgomery: “The fact is that while most people are bearish the short interest may be quite larg»‘.. and this may make further selling risky." Stemberger, Sinn << Co.: “We would be cautious about buying and then only on good sharp breaks, and would again take advantage of any rally to sell on." Miller & Co.. “Do not follow this de cline.” J S.
