Taking advantage OF selling orders from
Europe. the bear crowd mace seNeraI 81
forts 10 undermine the position or their
adversaries. with the result that at the
lowest level OF the day prices were o
points under last nights figures. Inc
market opened steady I'm tone, with Irs'
sales 1 point higher TO lower Inc
tendency OF prices from that tiihe va
steadily downward except late IN the
afternoon. when covering for proius az
times caused partial reactions. The close
was quiet. with prices tn6 points net
lower Sentiment in protesslonui circles
early took pessimstic turn, largely uh-
der the more bearish temper Of weather
reports and cotton-belt advices In gene
raj orders from abroad were almost
without exception for the sale OF De
cember and January contracts, these OF,
ferings being absorbed chiefly by local
and southern shorts. Commission houses
notably the Wall-street contingent
bought around the opening, but subse-
quently. joined the sellers.
