 New Orleans, Aug 20.-Spot cotton quiet. Hc down on all grades. Middiing 9&c. Sales were 250 bales on the spot and 116 to arrive.
 Futures opened barely steady seven points below the close of yesterday, result of the spot situation and reports of rains in sections where hot, dry weather has pre- vailed. 1t had been reported that long interests in New York would attempt to dispose of some of their holdings here, and when 10000 bales were suddenly dump ed into the ring an immediate slump fol- lowed
 This slump was quickly reflected in New York and from then on there was a gene ra1 recession in values. Liverpool cabled that e New York bull operator was selling heavy in that market and as the same interests were believed to be iiquidating in New Orleans, the result was that the de- cline. augmented by bearish weather and crop conditions. continued throughout the greater part of the day.
