WEEKLY COTTON REVIEW.
tBV the Associated Press

tBy the Associated Press,
!. New orleans, Aug. 3.-Tne weeks
trading in the cotton market resulted
in a loss Of 60 to 20 points on the
most active months in the future de-
partment. The high prices We're
made on Monday and the low prices
on Saturday. At the highest the
trading months were 13 to IS points
over last weeks close. and at the low
est they were 50 to II points under.
Rains in Texas and Oklahoma held
the market down in the fore part Of
the week, in spite Of bullish e8pecta-
tons concerning the August condition
report, which was issued Friday.
Bears were encouraged to put out
fresh lines and one story was that a
new bear pool had been formed. At
ter a temporary advance on the con-
dition report the market continued to
decline, selling being based almost
wholly on more favorable conditions
in the western half Of the belt.
The condition figures Of 16.5 which
carried the crop Town to July ..
We're lower by a point than generally
expected. After an advance of the
best part of a dollar 4 bale. prices
slumped under heavy offerings fronl
both sides and the market had a
downward tendency during the re-
n,ainder of the week.
1t was generally considered hat the
crop, over almost the entire cotton
region, at the end of the week was
considerably improved as the result OF
more rain in the western belt and
scattered showers in the eastern belt
IN the spot department prices lost
