This, coupled with the Government re port on supply and distribution, which placed the number of cotton bales con sumed during July at 486,246 running bales, as compared with 467,000 bales in June. The report was considered bullish, but failed to stimulate any buying of consequence and the market developed a sagging tendency after the call, based on active selling, which was encouraged by a New Orleans weather expert prediction of rains in the west ern belt within the next forty-height house. Later the selling became gen eral and by noon the decline aggre gated 5 to II points from the initial range. After the English market had re ported better oables»than expected, price movement at the close showed a decline of 2 to 34 points from the previous close. Ring traders are persistent bears on the new crop positions, but thev are iv>i heavy sellers, especially of August. Most of them seem to be waiting rains in the western belt before committing themselves to any great extent to the short side. But a world of cotton will fall upon the market if rains should come in the west One thing that pre vents any material decline in prices is that the feeling among the average Trader is to the effect that the Clarke anti-option bill will be killed and that nothing along that line will be done at the present session of Congress.
