was recovered. The crop in Central Tax es is in very bad shape and the 'teady deterioration has caused a reduction in crop estimates to be below 100000 in many quarters. This keeps he tone nervous and few are inclined to shcrt cotton as long as crop accounts are so bad from that section. New Orleans IS but a few points under the leve! herc and this prevents short selling. The crop in other parts of the belt Is better than last year and operators are inclined to the opinion that generally the present outlook Is for last years crop or sight ly lower. This means as favorable fall as last year to bring as big crop to maturity. At best, the crop outlook is not such as to Induce operators to sell for a decline.

COTTON FUTURES
 QUIET AND LOWER Only Few Orders from the Out
 side in Evidence FIRM LIVERPOOL CABLES
FIurries of Profit Taking and Waves of Covering Caused Frequent Slight Variations In VaIues-Southern
 Markets Helped Check Selling.

New York, August 20.-The market for cotton futures quiet, with prices point lower. There were few orders from the outside in evidence and sentiment in the pit was maintained to an unusual degree. Firm Liverpool cables and bad Texas crop news at first created no impression, nor did reports that trade conditions In dry goods centers were rapidly improving cut much figure as an influence. Yet be- fore the first hour elapsed strong un- dertone was developed and prices ad- vanced some to points on scare or shorts, buying for New Orleans account and supporting orders from abroad. The better feeling grew out of reports that spot markets in the country were harden ing rapidly on urgent export and domestic mill demand and that the crop in the eastern belt was being damaged by con- tinued hard rains. Aside from slight re- actions under fiurries of proht-taking sales, the market held firm all the late forenoon and near midday picked up ad- ditional strength on nervous buying to cover shorts. Soon after midday the weekly government report made It's ap- pearance and indicated deterioration in the crop condition in almost every sec tion of the belt. Drouth was said to be causing rapid failure of the plant over most of Texas and other portions of the Southwest, drouth in the Northern and too much rain In the Southern portion of the Central belt were complained of, and hard rains and high winds had done dam age in the greater part of the Eastern belt. This lead to increased buying for both accounts in the early afternoon, on which October stiffened to $7.45 and Jan uary to $755 For the rest of the day the market was more or less irregular, though the advance was well held Fur ries of profit taking and waves Of cover ing caused frequent slight variations in values. Firmness in the New Orleans market and sharp advances in leading Southern spot markets helped to check the selling for a reaction.
 Commission houses were noticed as buy CTS of the fall and later months. On the moment of the close realizing caused decline of to points. The market was finally casey with prices net to points higher.
