New York, Sept. 5.-Cotton opened
barely steady at a decline of to 10 points
and after some early irregularity sold off
to net loss of IL to 10 points before the
end of the first hour under realizing by
recent buyers and a renewal of bear
pressure. Liverpool cables were fully up
to expectations, but the official weather
forecast for showers in parts of the east
ern belt and West Texas was considered
favorable, and it was reported that lead
ing trade interests were again heavy sell
ers in the absence of a more active de-
mand from spinners. Early estimates
place the amount of cotton ginned prior
to September 1 this year at 452, 600 bales
against III 900 last year.
"A somewhat better demand was en-
countered at decline of about "a points
from the high level of yesterday and the
market became steadier late in the fore
noon with prices at midday some 5 or 6
points up from the lowest on covering by
recent sellers and scattered local buying.
Detailed weather reports showing lower
temperatures in the eastern belt were
followed by heavier selling during the
early afternoon. Prices eased off to a
net loss of from 10 to q points.

Prices fell off quickly under the selling
pressure and at the end of the first half
hour OF trading were 81 points under yes

The market displayed little life at any

was poor and moderate selling served to
