PANIC CONDITIONS
IN COTTON MARKET
Continued Liquidation by Longs
Has Disastrous Effect on
Prices and Close Finds Trad
erS DemoraIized.
TBy Morning Journal Special Leased wire. I


New Orleans, July 20.-Prices in
the cotton market crumbled again to-
day under liquidation. At the lowest
July, the spot month, was let down
55 points, under yesterdays close and
August lost 2S points. while the new
crop months lost 10 points.
But for the fresh liquidation from
the long side the market would have
reacted as shorts were anxious for
their profits and were better buyers
than sellers.
Little attention was paid to the leg
itimate news of the day. The market
was filled with wild rumors. Gable
messages from Liverpool stated the
situation in Morocco was causing
anxiety and this was twisted into the
statement that war between France
and Germany was imminent. The
messages BEARING this statement were
promptly contradicted.
The market opened two to three
points upon much better cables.
There was only a slight response to
the rise on the other side but a
wider rise was impossible owing to the
selling out of cotton bought late yes
terday in the expectation of a sharp
rally
After n spell OF nervous trading the
market braced up. On this little re-
action fresh liquidation came from
the long side Prices gradually
crumbed away until July was down
to S13.55 or 55 points under yester-
days last quotation. August lost %
points at $12.71 and all of the active
new crop months lost 10 points. De-
cember touching $11.95. At the low
est July was $2.75 a bale down and
the new cropes were practically dol

Later advices, however, indicate
that the car was running at only

the bank suddenly gave wav and his
