bULL|SHFEATRES DISTURB MARKET Cotton Prices Held Under Level of Yesterdays
 Close

New Orleans August 14.-Little at- tention was paid to bullish features today in the cotton market and enough selling developed to hold prices under the level of yesterdays close. At the lowest prices were 1 to points down. Toward the end of the session shorts bought covers and the close was steady at a net loss of to points.
 Cables were better than due. but they did not help opening prices, wshich were a point off on the near months. The bullish consumption figures from the census bureau failed to stimulate support and the approach of the tropi- cal storm nearer to the cotton belt did not encourage buying. Feeling was bearish over the expoV and foreign exchange situation and becaGse of the growing conviction that England shortr ly would put cotton on the contraband list.
 Selling undoubtedly was held In check by bullish influences, but at no time did tho market develop any buying pow CT. Weather conditions over the belt were considerable because of scattered showers.

 The demand for fresh meats and sta- pie groceries holds up well and dealers are said to be declaring good dividends. For the past month or so sugar sales have been extremely heavy in the Bir- mingham district due to the fact that much preserving has been done. Fruits of all kinds this season have been re- markedly cheap. and the volume of sales have accordingly increased.
 The vegetable season here is nearing it's close and all kinds of garden pro- duce is becoming somewhat scarce. Watermelons continue extremely plenti- full. but the demand has of late become less pronounced.
 The local peach crop has, it is said. become almost exhausted. and shipments are beginning to arrive from north Ala bama. Tennessee and Missouri.
 California oranges made their initial appearance on the Birmingham market last week, and though the price is high, are meeting with fairly good demand
 Among the arrivals yesterday on the Birmingham market were several cars of melons. number of large cantaloupe shipments by express from different parts of the state, and two or three cars of cabbage and potatoes
