European Buyers Cancel Or
ders, Causing Heavy Selling
and Downward Trend.

NEW YORK. Oct 15-An absence of
the expected frost overnight caused the
cotton market here to open barely steady
with first prices displaying irregularity,
being / point higher to points lower
than last nights close. During the first
hfteen minutes of trading the buying was
general, which seemed to come chiefly
from shorts and spot interests, but the
selling was liberal, which held prices in
narrow ranges from the opening.
Futures in Liverpool steady; spots
steady and in good demand
A sudden realizing movement prevailed
over the market shortly after the call
on cables from Liverpool quoting a large
cancellation of orders in cotton goods for
turkey. This caused a heavy unloading
wave by the ring crowd and their manipu-
latlon IN October was given its course,
and within fifteen minutes this option had
receded some II points, while the remain
ing positions followed the downward
movement closely, aggregating a loss of
70 10 points from the early range.
The weekly government report on
weather was very favorable and was an
addition to the bearish sentiments among
the room traders. The spot demand con-
tlnued good, while outside buying was
limited. The selling continued general
throughout the afternoon session. while
the buying as whole seemed to be con-
tracted with prices ranging about 10 to
II points from the previous close.
AT the close the market was weak with
