COTTON DECLINES

New Orleans Selling and Week
End Realizing Send Prices
Off 9 to II Points.

Cotton weakened after a slight early
advance, with July contracts selling off
70 11.9sc in the late trading, or about
10 points under tho high level of the
morning. and II points under Fridays
closing figures. The close was steady
in tone, but showed a net decline of .
70 II points for the day.
The market opened unchanged to 6
points higher on some scattered buy
ing, which seemed TO come partly from
New Orleans sources, which was prob
ably encouraged by reports of steady
Southern spot markets and bullish re-
views Of the domestic goods trade. De-
mand failed to improve on further
advance of point or two on the more
active positions, however. and the mar
ket soon turned easier under realizing
for over the week end. As prices
worked lower the selling became more
active and sentiment seemed 70 be I'M
settled by the reported sinking Of a
Norwegian schooner, although the
Americans on board were said to have
been rescued. New Orleans turned a
seller here late in the morning and
closing prices were within a point or
two of the lowest.
Liverpool has recently shown less
disposition to meet advances on this
side, and the cables we're disappoint-
ing on the late deliveries. This was
attributed By local bears TO the larger
arrivals Of American cotton at Liver
pool recently and unfavorable trade
conditions in Manchester.

The great change in traffic conditions
