New Orleans Cotton Market

New orleans, July 20-Cotton futures opened steady at a decline of to IS points on much lower cables than due. Business was light In the early hours. Offerings came principally from longs who were disappointed over the action of the Liv- erpool market and desired to cover over the week end A moderate demand from covering shorts was in evidence.
 The weather map again showed much rain in the eastern belt and indicated that some rain fell ln Texas, but hardly enough to offset the moisture In the east At the end of the first half hour of busi- ness prices were 12 to 13 points down.
 Toward the middle of the morning the market did better on the forecast or fair weather for west Texas and con tinued showers in the eastern half of the cotton belt. Shorts were inclined to buy covers over Sunday than they were around the opening, and there was less liquidation from the long side
 Reports of q good spot demand in the Atlantics, the lack of receipts of new cotton In the west and accounts of fresh damage by army worms In Alabama all helped to steady the market. At the highest prices.> new crops were 10 C points under yesterdays close. The old crops were neglected.

captions prices show further suostah- tial shrinkage for the week. The slump of 11b points In consois to the lowest point reported in S6 years overshadowed everything and imparted gloom and sag ging tendency to the other gilt-eoged shares.
 Chief reasons for the decline appear to be the liquidation of cash selling to exchange into securities yielding higher rate of interest, the large amount or new issues a number of which are com ing out daily, and disappointment over the government not taking steps to check the decline in British credit.
 News of the bombardment of the Dar- daneles, with it's complications, put the finishing touch to the depression ana although consols closed a fraction above the lowest, they were IA points lower than a week ago. Home rails spurted on the good dividend declared by the Metro politan District railway, but they eased off when the Lower Great Britain railway distribution was announced.
 The Americans provided the bright side of the week In improved New York bank statement and Wall street support in- duced local buying and prices closed at gains ranging from 1 to points.
 The money market Is fairly supplie1 with funds but discount rates remain firm, owing to the number of finance bills being placed here. especially rom New York.
