NEW YORK COTTON, Aug. 2s.-Tne cotton
market opened barely steady at a decline of
5@S points, and sold 7@9 points net lower
on the active months shortly after the call
under renewal Of bear pressure and liquida-
ton, which encouraged by easy cables and
further private crop reports going to show only
a moderate deterioration in condition for the
month. The decline carried October to new
low level for the season, while later months
sold within or points of the record figures.
At the decline covering steadied the market.
but there was only slight reactions and the I'M
dertone was nervous.
Before midday the market sold of to new
low records for the season all active months
except March, with the general list showing a
net loss Of 11@12 points. Local short covering
at the decline caused rally OF 3@4 points
around midday, when trading became less active
and the market held fairly steady.
