NEW ORLEANS COTTON MARKET.

New Orleans, Sept. 4.-Inf1uenced by
the continued downward movement in
futures and the phenomenal decline in
Liverpool, the spot cotton market was

In the future market the bearish fea-
lures Of the yesterday were still in ev-
idence and the trend of prices were
downward. Secretary Hester's report
on consumption of American cotton
was regarded as a bearish feature, the
figures being 10,S5S, 900 bales, whereas
the general BELIEF was that the total
consumption would reach IL, 900, 900 The
bullish features We're light receipts and
unfayorable weather predictions. Cooler

work downward into the belt. This
Duylng carried the market to the best
ieVei or the session or net Z points
nlgher on September to points lower
on March. Later in the day, however,
the selling became very heavy. Liv-
erpooi houses were heavy sellers, the
continent sold and the South sent or
GERS on the short side, while large
local houses were also heavy sellers
The market was, in fact, in almost a
panicky condition and closed barely
steady within a point or two of the
bottom, with prices net Is to 10 points
lower. Sales were 100000 bales. The
selling was, of course, directly trace
able to the. effect on general senti-
ment OF yesterdays bureaus report,
ana the selling was simply a renewal
OF the movement noted yesterday, This
selling to-day was encouraged by the
larger receipts, and aside from the
low temperatures the weather was very
favorable. 1t could not be seen that
the recognized bull operators were SELL
ing at no time during the session,
though rumors are circulating to that
effect, and it is also asserted in some
quarters that the New Orleans con-
tingent is practically out of the mar
ket.

market is easily subject to manipula-
ton. These facts must not be forgot
ten in working on the side of lower
prices and while convinced that in the
end, cotton will work towards a much
lower level SO severe has been the re-
cent decline that we would now ad-
wise caution and would only sell on
advances. There is a very general
belief that for all practical purposes,
a corner in cotton, is a thing of the
past, that is to say that while the
New Orleans still have 1000 or 100, 900
bales of cotton to dispose of, a suffi-
Client quantity of futures for Septem-
Der and October delivery have been
sold to protect them in event of future
decline. This selling has been posi-
BILE by what now appears to have been
indiscretion in the part of prominent
interest which purchased an enormous
block of futures In this market Losses
resulting from declines in prices will,
therefore, be distributed among several
individuals instead of being confind to
the pool.
