SENSATIONAL BREAK
IN COTTON PRICES
Close Weak, Net Loss From
46 to 81 Points Compared
With Saturday

New York, August 12.-Teday's cotton
market showed even more weakness than
had developed on the big decline of last
week. and there was a further sensational
break in prices, with the close weak at a
net loss of from DC to 81 points as COM
pared with the closing figures of Satur-
day
The market opened weak at a decline of
10 to 20 points under liquidation by recent
buyers for reaction and a renewal OF
pressure from leading spot brokers or
local bears. who were encouraged by rel
atively easy cables, reports of good
weather in the south bearish weekly re-
views of the crop outlook by some of the
prominent southern trade papers and
claims that last weeks break In raw ma
terial prices had checked the demand
for cotton goods.
There was good deal of covering on a
scale down. but no important support de-
veloped, and the market showed no rally
ing power whatever until prices had
shown a net loss of from 81 to 81 points.
Around II sic for December there was
covering enough to give the market
rather steadier tone and rallies of
to points occurred from the lowest
during the early afternoon, but there was
no change IN the general character of the
news. and no appearance of renewed bull
support.
On the contrary, leading spot brokers
appeared to have cotton for sale on the
bulge, and the market developed increased
weakness later in the day under another
wave of more or less general liquidation
| or bear pressure. October contracts broke
to II. 29c while December sold at 1lS6c
or 81 points under the closing figures OF
| Saturday, and approximately S. per bale
from the high records established late in
July. The close was at the lowest point
of the day.
| Reports of clearing weather in the east
ern belt. which was just beginning to COM
| plain of excessive moisture toward the
| close of last week, encouraged the more
optimistic view of the crop outlook, while
sellers on the decline argued that the
less favorable reports from the dry goods
trade made any immediate renewal of mill
demand improbable. Notwithstanding the
break of nearly &c a pound in prices.

Coffee Market

New York, August 12.-Coffee opened
barely steady at a decline of to 10
points in response to weak European
cables and talk of unsettled primary
markets. Af first covering and moder-
ate support from leading trade inter
ests seemed sufficient to absorb offer
ings, but there was considerable Eu-
ropean selling. combined with a re-
newal of scattering local liquidation
and the market showed incre8ing
weakness during the afternoon with

STEEL MOST ACTIVE
OF THE |NDUSTR|ALS
Scores Best Price of Year
Though Fails to Make
Substantial Response

New York, August 12.--The feature
of today's stock market lay in the
fact that the extensive profit taking
failed to exercise more than slight
effect on the higher level attained in
the earlier part of the day Advances
were general at the opening and these
were extended before midday with no
decided reversal until the final hour
when selling of Reading, which had not
participated in the rise. caused recess
sions from the best in most active
issues.
Undoubtedly promises aeontained in
last weeks highly favorable crop re-
port was the most potent factor in
today's further advance even though
the stocks that made ,largest gains
were not those which derive greatest
benefit from large cereal harvests.
Canadian Pacific was the most prom
: inent of the grain carriers with an
other high record which was reflected
in the strength of its subsidiaries. Of
the better known grangers st. Paul was
strong, recovered a large part of its
semi annual dividend but Louisville and
gained more than other standard rail-
roads Reports of an impending dis
tribution to Louisville and Nashville
shareholders which would naturally re-
bound to adding of Atlantic Coast Line
were again circulated.
United States Steel was most ac-
tive of the industrials, and while 1t
scored its best price of the year, made
no very substantial response to last
Saturdays statement OF untitled ton
mage, which was somewhat in excess
of forecasts. Copper shares were in
better demand, also those of allied con-
Germs including Shelters, while num-
Der of miscellaneous specialities made
more or less gains.

lar with some inquiry for convertible

New Orleans Cotton Market

New Orleans. August 12.-Cotton
futures opened steady at a decline OF
rs to 20 points on poor cables; good
weather in the cotton belt over Sun
day and private crop reports that were
taken as confrmatory of bearish claims
regarding the progress of the crop since
the last bureau report on condition. The
list was dull early. Commission
houses handled fair volume of SELL
ing orders, but offerings from this
source were met by demand from
profit taking shorts. With the end OF
the first 80 minutes of trading prices
were rs to 80 points down. The mar
ket was quiet throughout the early
session and the undertone was easy
Stop loss orders were reported on the
long side and offerings that resulted
were a considerable factor in the trad
ing The forecast of fair weather in
the eastern half of the belt was re-
garded as being extremely favorable
and promoted an Increase In short
sales
The market was weak in the late
trading. In the business up to a half
hour before the close prices were put
43 to AZ points under Saturdays clos
ing quotations. Short selling was
heavy and constant.
