SELLING PRESSURE
 AFFECTS COTTON Liquidating Comes From Both Bears and Bulls.
 Market Soft

New Orleans, May 3.-The cotton mar ket was soft today under selling pres- sure which seemed to come both from liquidating longs and bears who were impressed by favorable weather reports from sections of the belt east of the Mississippi and by the easiness of the stock market.
 Private reports of rains in the east ern belt caused weakness in the early trading, which poor cables intensified, but after a decline of to Is points there was a recovery and an advance fo to 3 points over Saturdays close on the strongest months. In the after noon the market displayed weakness of a pronounced sort which gossip said was in sympathy with the fall in stocks. At the lowest the most active months were 19 to 25 points under Saturday g final figures. The close was a net loss of IS to 23 points.
 Exports for the day were very heavy for this time of the year-6s,163 bales and bulls pointed out that the official weather reports did not confirm private accounts of rain in the eastern belt, but little attention was paid to bullish news. The predition of frost in the extreme northwestern portion of the belt caused momentary strength but with prices slightly above Saturdays close fresh selling was provoked.

COTTON DECLINES BUT CLOSE IS EASY Liverpool Meets Saturdays Local Decline-Open-
 ing Is Easy

New York, May S.-Cotton was weak and unsettled again today under renewal of the selling movement which developed to- ward the end of last week. and closed easy at net decline of F to 20 points,
 Liverpool just about met Saturdays To- cal decline. and the opening here was easy with first prices 10 to 1s points lower. Wall street and commission houses quite gen orally had over-Sunday sellins orders for execution around the ring, but the cotton was pretty well taken around the initial figures, and prices soon steadied. Liver pool buying was attributed to cov~- ing of straddlers at the wider differences, and in addition to realizing by recent sell CTS there appeared to be some fresh buy ing for investment account The demand however. tapered off on rally which carried october contracts up to Saturday s closing figures, and other months to within or points of that level. and the market became weak and unsettled again in the afternoon.
 The eastern belt forecast for clear weather in all sections except North car olina and failure of the detailed weather report to show anything more than light scattering showers in eastern sections helped the rally during the morning, and there may also have been some buying on the larger clearances But demand was at no time aggressive, and when 1t was found that the market was not attracting any important bull support, there was a renewal of heavy Wall street liquidation and more active selling, which broke prices into new low ground for the day.
 October contracts sold at 10.26c, or sS.so a bale below recent high records, ant the ,parket closed at practically the lowest point. The unsettled ruling of the stock market and uneasiness over the interna- tional situation may possibly have con trihuted to the decline, but judging from talk around the ring, the selling was based less on any particular item in the day's news than the predictions of im- proving crop conditions Port receipts. l2'- S15: United States port stock, 1,295,722; ex- ports, sS, ,16S; so far this season, 7.2SS2os; interior receipts, 9l76
