COTTON CONTINUES
DOWNWARD TREND
Favorable Weather and Census
Report Renew Slump-Close
Was 10 Points Off.

There was further decline in the
cotton market yesterday as a result Of
continued favorable weather and crop
reports. The selling was by no means
general or aggressive, but demand was
limited, and after opening at decline
Of to points prices worked OF to a
net loss Of 10 to IL points, with the
close steady, at a net decline Of to 10

Liverpool was rather disappointing,
and private cables said demand there

tide holidays In Lancashire. At the
opening decline of to 4 points here
houses with Liverpool connections were
moderate buyers, rejecting a further
reduction in straddle short accounts,

less active than recently, while other
wise there appeared to be very few
buyers around the ring. The same
brokers who were chief sellers Mon
day had selling orders again yesterday,
while there was also scattered selling
from Southern and local sources.
While there were slight rallies from
time to time, the general tendency of
prices was downward. July sold of TO

sumption of cotton in this country, in

has amounted to 6,1t5,000 bales, COM
pairing with 4,S45.000 last year. Con-
sumption during May amounted to CAS-,
900 bales, including linters, and should
the consumption for June and July
equal this record, IL would make a total
in this country for the season of about
100000 bales. The market, however,
has been anticipating some such show

business in the goods market is sub

fairly large stocks on hand and partly
protected against early new crop re-
