time the level declined about &C bale
from the highest OF the season. With
the commission houses and conservative
operators opposed 10 purchases az they
have been for two days, the demand
slackencd materially. and an attempt on
the part Of holders 10 sell, found little
support a. compared with the recent ag-
gressive buying.
Liverpool cables reported the same re-
dictionary tendency IN that market. a con-
dltion to be expected after the develop
ments Of the past two weeks. An in
crease IN the movement OF cotton had con-
siderable effect upou foreigners. and the
FIRST effects OF the Neill estimate had dis

The fact that the receipts have been
