Declines of 80 to 40 points were
recorded in the cotton market today on
rather heavy pressure led by the South.
Tho influences were rumors OF unfavora-
ble developments on tho western war
front and the weakness in the stock
market
Spinners were buyers at the declines,
but the demand was insufficient to ab-
sorb all offerings, which appeared to be
heaviest at the end Of the day.
An accumulation of buyiLg orders
from spinners and Liverpool gave the
market steady opening today at a
partial advance of 7 points. but Offer
ings increased so rapidly from locll and
ether sources that the option was soon
lost.
The market showed continued nervous.

On the other hand there was a mod
crate demand on declines, accompanied
by reports that spinners were taking
advantage Of the dips to buy hedges OF
fix prices. and the marked showed a
disposition to steady at declines OF some
20 to 20 points from last nights closing
