But for the dry weather in the western cotton belt the decline would prob ably have been carried still further. The closing was steady at net loss of e@1I points.
 The net results of the weeks trading in the future market are declines of 2@1i points. One Of the week has been the liquidation of the March position, longs selling out and replacing in later months.
 steadying the market at all times was the drought In Texas. The continued dry weather in this part of the cotton belt stin- nlated considerable interest in the new crop months with the result that October closed relatively higher than the near positions,

 It Is reported that the shsFAR will present a large amount of teSsemony in regard to violations of the pr0hibi- ion law. going so far as to have pre- pared some pictures of interesting scenes.
 The charges which were preferred by a minority of the last grand jury against the shsfin of Jefferson County will be invest lgated by the present grand jury. Witnesses on this sub = ject have been summoned to go before the grand jury on Tuesday, and 1t Is believed there will be many questions propounded.
 People in Jefferson County are in- terested in what Is likely to be done in reference to the sherift. some believing that indictments will follow.
 There have been rumors that steps are to be taken shortly which will seek to put the sheriff out of once but that official laughs when told of the rumors and says that he is willing for any and all criticisms of his administra- ton and that he has done only what he thinks is right.
 There have been rumors of impeach- ment proceedings for some time, but nothing has come out of the talk.

 The tone of the local cotton market was not so good yesterday as on Fri day. One firm of merchants offered a lot of Poo bales at g 3-sc. but no one would take 1t. Another warehouse, however, disposed of forty bales for 3 S-8c middling basis, and there was practically no difference in the cot ton.
 The lowered demand is looked upon by most of the producers and factors as merely temporary and they are holding out just as stiffly as ever for at least 1-2c. They constitute the back bone of the market and prevent any rushes, for sales on slight ad- vances. Many are so confident that the Improvement will soon come, that they are even holding for 1o-cent cot ton.
 The fall in futures yesterday was undoubtedly due to bearish week end figures coupled with depression of the stock market. The approach of the holidays--the exchanges will not be open until Tuesday-has had ten- dency to restrict new commitments. The fear of March tenders next week has also made the market less viz
