COTTON MEETS
SELLING PRESSURE
Prices Decline After an Early
Rise of Eight to
Nine Points.

The attention Of traders in the cot
ton market yesterday was directed to
the Western belt because of showers
in Texas, which were confirmed in the
detailed reports showing rainfall at
numerous points in the state. After
opening steady at 5 TO s points de-
cline. the market advanced 10
points on covering due TO more rain
fall in the Eastern belt, but met re-
sumption OF selling pressure toward
the close, based on the idea that indi-
cations seemed to be pointing towards
more rain in the Western belt and
less in the East. This led 10 rather
sharp reaction in prices and the close
was steady at 70 points net loss

figure was 1853, strengthened the i'm

steadily for twenty-five days and
that cotton in Georgia had been
heavily damaged.
The Gulf disturbances, which on Fri,
day were an unsettling influence all
day, seemed 10 have disappeared and
moderately high pressure occurred
over about all the country east OF the
