New. Orleans Futures.
BY Associated Press.

New Orleans, Feb. 3.-Cotton futures
opened steady at a decline OF u to 16
points on the old crop reports and a de-
cline of points on the new. Cables
were sensationally bad, futures being
much lower than due and private messages
explaining that it was feared the plague
in China would interfere with business in
Manchester and cause the cancellation
OF many orders for cotton goods. Selling
orders came from both bulls and bears
on the call, but Immediately after the
short sellers OF yesterday began to take
profits and the demand was sufficient to
check the advance and bring about a
small reaction. At the end Of the first
half-hour of trading the old crops were 8
to points under yesterdays close and
the new were points under.
a great food of bearish cable messages
from Liverpool was the feature OF the
morning. They made many statements
against the market, chief among which
was that Manchester was overbought,
that spinners were trying to peddle yarns
OF the continent at lower prices and that
it was highly probable that consumption
would fall off and a period of short time
would follow among the mills. To some
extent these claims were blended by bull
ish English brokerage houses but they
caused a recession around the middle of
the morning to about the lowest levels.
Later the market recovered again on
profit taking by shorts and toward noon
prices stood 2 to points under yester-
days close. This recovery brought out
fresh selling and at noon the market was
to ii points under yesterdays last quo
tations.
