New Orleans, August 11.-Spot cotton closed quiet and unchanged; middling, 1O% sales. 150 bales on the spot; futures opened steady and 8 to 10 points net high CT, both on Liverpool cables. which were better than expected, and on generally looked for reaction in the local market. This reaction, however, failed to material ize, and prices soon lost their early gains. The fact that August was up several points higher than the latter months rose. caused talk that spots were not likely to follow closely the decline of the future market. Although bulls looked for hot weather to affect the cotton crop before the end of August crop reports were good The close was steady 1QS points higher than yesterday.

As in all downward movements, there was tendency on the part of the radl- cal bear element to overdo things, but sound common sense prevailed with the majority of traders and all efforts to hammer prices below 9.64 for December met with powerful resistance, and a mod crate reaction has since been established. The most potent argument in favor of a reaction was the fact that the new crop months were selling at big discount under the value of actual cotton, not only here. but in the interior.

Lovem,n 6 Co.'S Market Letter.

Reactionary hopes were realized to some extent today. Liverpool was sur- prisingly good causing our market to open steady at an advance, which, how ever, was soon lost as result of heavy selling on the part of those who thought that the reaction had gone far enough Before the selling movement could be checked December. which had sold as high as SIT on the opening. went as low as 970. There was some recovery later and the close was steady. Spots were reported quiet and unchanged. Sales amounted to 15O bales of spots, on the basis of 10 5-16 for middling.
 The cotton situation underwent a radi- cal change during the past week. The market witnessed the triumph of bearish sentiment which reduced cotton values to level where the speculative public was more inclined to take hold of the article.
