COTTON MARKET
 LACKED SUPPORT Bear Element Had the Better Ot
 the Position. SPECULATION WAS LIGHT Prices Declined on Slow Market and Went Off from 10 to Is
 Points-An Uninter-
 esting Session
SPECULATION WAS lIGHl l

New York, October 29.-Speculation in cotton futures today was light and traders gave the bulk of their attention to straight ening up old accounts. The news in hand on the call was conflicting with the bears, however, having rather the better of the position. In Saturdays advance here, and on predictions for falling off in the crop movement the price worked up four points, but bulls and the outside interests were made uneasy by larger receipts and by an- other almost perfect chart on the cotton belt. The first sales developed a rise of three points, to a decline of SIX points, with the market easy in tone; thereafter the tendency was. slowly but steadily down. ward under persistent sales of long cotton and scattering pressure from the leading bears.
 Scarcely an effort was put forth 10 ar- rest the course of the market and at best speculation was of a haltins, unsatisfactory type with the professional element in con- trol. Soon after midday estimates for much larger receipts tomorrow at New Or leans and Houston gave the market an- ether set back, while the weather forecast later proved equally effective in bringing aDout StlH lower prlceS' 1hrouShouI tho late afternoon it was anybody's market, and small one al that price, Prices were down to about the low level of the session with the market showing feeble recupera- tive energies in the absence of support from the outside investment element The market at the close was steady, with prices net 10 to b points lower.
