THE COTTON MARKET
Break in New Orleans Causes
Lower Prices Here.

With weather market" inclined TO be
bullsh on conditions over the belt, and
traders ready to sell on the slightest indi-
cation Of good rains in the Western sec
tions, cotton trading here received shock
in the early afternoon yesterday. when
New Orleans reported drop OF 40 points
in the July option. This was credited to
the efforts OF an Alabama spot man put
ting out long line of 5000 or 5000 bales
and finding the market bare of buyers.
Half Of this was recovered, but after our
market closed there was another spell Of
weakness. and the July option in New Or
leans closed 81 points down. This drop
naturally had its effect on bull support
here, and with mill interests fairly good
buyers on the late decline the market
closed net to points under Mondays

changed. and the local market held quiet

THE CROP MARKETS
Grains and Coffee All Work to
Lower Levels.

Heavy interior receipts and promising
crop reports yesterday overcame the
bullish effect of export sales of about
125 leads, and the wheat market suf-
fered decline for the day Of 4 q sc.
The foreign business indicated that
Europe is only waiting for favorable
prices to buy heavily of American wheat.
A Russian report foreshadowed a crop
about 40, 900, 900 bushels in excess of last
years. The days price changes were
within narrow limits. An early advance
of Is6Lc in corn on weather conditions
was wiped out by weather predictions
and drop Of a &c on liquidation left
the close net u a y C down. oats were
under some selling pressure and dropped
- for the day.
While bulls in the coffee market ex-
pressed confidence in conditions. there
was financial evidence Of a strong ten
dency to take profits while they were in
sight. Foreign markets weakening after
a reasonably strong opening helped the
feeling along. and selling by small longs
and Wall Street interests caused a re-
action. which left prices at the close
from 20 to - points down from Mon
days final. Cost and freight sales fell
off materially owing to an advance of
from 20 10 40 points, which carried
prices far above working basis
