NEW YORK. October 7.-Folowing the
weakness of yesterday afternoon, our
market opened this morning about steady
in tone, with near positions unchanged,
and the later deliveries 3ni points lower.
Local sentiment was weak, and later
business included decline OF 344 points.
as compared with yesterday. The more
direct influence against the market was
the rise in the temperature throughout
the cotton belt, with private crop gossip
generally of a bearish nature. Traders,
however, were disposed to be conserya-
tive. The Liverpool market showed
decline OF lQ2 points for the day. but
English cotton spinners appeared TO be
aggressive, as they took 1000 bales spot
cotton, and cables forecasted a c0ntinu-
ance OF interest on the part of foreign
manufacturers. Another cautionaTy in
fiuence was the report Of increasing indi-
cations OF rain In Mississippi. AT the
same time, there were misgiyings as TO
the character Of the government crop re-
port, TO make its appearance next Mon
day. all OF which led to covering by some
of the smaller shorts. which caused a
rally of 2a3 points. The movement OF
new cotton in the absence OF speculative
support was thought 10 be rather full,
and there was no general buying on in
yestment account. The market was
finally quiet and steady, with a net de-
cline of 2q3 points.
