~ Et'sdlG Wife from GtDerI " ClaY.l
NEW ORLEANS, June "A further de-
probation Of some Importance was record
ca IN the cotton markets today, resulting
from the combined pressure of short selling
ana liquidation by the tired longs. Cable
advices were more hopeful for the future
put this hope was based on a lessenInE dis
play OF weakness by American markets
The opinion was expressed that spinners
would increase their takings at prevailing
prices and some reference was made 10 a
resumption of full time regardless of the
money penalty against certain spinners
pinding them to stipulated period of
closure. While prices sank to a lower
ievel here. less of the bearish sentiment
was in violence than has been observed in
the recent past and this condition can be
readily accounted for by the Improvement
IN PARTIES with Liverpool which furnishes
hetter prospect for business amongst ex-
porters and will have the effect of reliey-
ing American ports OF burdensome stocks

July showed break of about INC from
the closing of last Friday. and in view Of
this Tremendous drop there was a fear on
the part OF smaller interests and the lat
Ter rushed to get out of their holdings on
all opportunities offered. The general
market became relatively quiet as the day
wore on, but in view of the uncertaint, es
extant trading interests were very cautious
about assuming fresh obligations in one d.
rectton or the other. Up to the close the
market continued nervous and there was a
tremor of excitement which initiated
against the establishment of new connec-
tions. The cables generally were about as
expected, but the foreign operations were
unimpcrtant The advices from New or
