Southern Hedge Selling and No
Spot Demand Cause of De-
cline in Staple.

NEW YORK, Aug 27.-Weak cables

night caused a resonant of yesterdays
downward movement on the cotton mar
ket today with first prices a net decline
OF to Il points from last nights close,
After the call heavy liquidation prevailed
and prices receded q. few points from the
early range. The decline soon reached Is
points for the active months with very
little support save Scattere>l covering by
shorts. At the end of 10 minutes the isl
was off II to IA points from the previous
close. The most important factor
from the broken drought in Arkansas and
North Carolina. also the beneficial rains
in southeast Texas and central and east
ern states
The Waldorf crowd during the late fore
noon trading began to buy heavily and
through their aggressiveness prices deVel-
oped on upward tendency regaining the
early decline in most active positions
During the afternoon session a renewal
selling wave prevailed on Southern hedge
selling and reports of lower basis of spots

from the market. This caused sudden
backward movement and prices quickly
reacted back and below the early losses.

The New orleans Times Democrat says:
Mondays decline surprised both factions,
but changed nobOdys views, as almost
everybody is bearish. Two influences
were at work. Europe was not inclined
to buy for forward delivery in an unset
tied market and GaVeston's receipts
have been climbing up to last years fig
ure very rapidly Under these circum-
stances supply merchants have offered
cotton on comparatively low basis,
trusting to suspended demand and free
movement to pull them through, and the
gossip incident to such transactions sim
ply pulled the props from under the rings.
OF course there has been plenty of talk
as Georgia, Mississippi and Oklahoma.
All of which served to embolden the OPP
orators on the short side. 1t is probable,
however, that. the European spinner hest
tates more because the market is not
steady than because values are too high,
as contrasted with the value of the man
ufactured article. and it is also probable
that exporters will display more caution
in selling ahead against forward pur-
chases in the interior than some of them
have shown so far.
