New Orleans, July 19-Cotton fu~
lures opened steady, point down to
10 points up. Cables were better than
due, but little or no response was
made to them. The ring was filled
with selling orders, and the execution
of these gave the market weak un>
dertone in the early trading. Com
mission houses were good sellers, in
dicating that orders from the country
were against the market. The wealth
er map was not much of factor, is
it was rather colorless. The weather
over the belt was cloudy, but no great
amount of rain was noted. At the
end of the first half hour of business
the old crop months were II to Il
points under yesterdays close, and
new crops were to 16 under.

developed additional weakness on be-
lated longs selling out at o'clock
