RATES FOR MONEY
COTTON

NEW YORK, Oct 26.-Cotton opened
easy this morning, at a decline of 1 to 4
points. There was selling for Wall street
account, but the buying was of sufficient
volume to prevent further losses. There
was considerable bullish sentiment, and
after the call the demand increased,
causing prices to move upward. The
weather In the belt was considered favor
able. The cables from Liverpool were
disappointing
In the afternoon the tone became weak
er and prices slipped off until levels OF
Is to Is points below Mondays close had
been reached.
The market ended weak. on 20 to 2S
points.

Weakness of Outside Markets

Shorts Satisfied

CHICAGO, Oct 26-Yesterday's bulge

today and prices fell off gradually In the
early hours. Bulls however, predicted

Outside markets displayed weakness,
which was reflected in the local market.
Winters were off, with springs trife
lower. There appeared to be an abund-

were scattered. Weather reports con-
tinued favorable and receipts heavy.
The domestic demand is increasing, with
the foreign situation still nervous Big
shorts who rushed to cover yesterday
were apparently satisfied and were con-
spicuous by their absence today.
In the afternoon, after prices had de-
clined about two cents, there were par
tal rallies, so that final figures were
only fractionally below last nights clos
ings.
Lending futures ranged as follows:
