New. Orleans Cotton Market
New Orleans, February 16.-Cotton fu-
lures opened. dull. to points down on
the old crops and down on the new.
Cables were about as due, but senti-
ment around the ring was bearish and
there were no buyers to absorb the very
moderate offerings. In the first half hour
of trading the old crops showed little
change from the opening prices; the new
crops were neglected.
The weather was again unfavorable,
no rain being reported in Texas. Light
snow squalls were noted on the map at
one or two points and indications of
moro snow and sleet caused the short
side to predict relief for the drouth dis
tricts. Private cable messages were very
bearish, intimating that spinners had
bought too much cotton lately. This en-
couraged scalping operations on the short
side and they gave the market all the
life 1t had in tho early trading.
During the entire morning session
prices gradually sank until fairly wide
decline had been brought about, the old
crop options just before noon standing
SO to 81 points under yesterdays clos
ing. Bear selling and some little forced
liquidation from the long side caused the
fall. Bears made much of yesterdays
action of the Lancashre spinners in vot-

cotton belt which Indicated that south

these te1eGramss however were many
