Cotton

The cotton market showed continued
nervousness and irregularity yesterday
but trading was less active and huctua-
tions less violent than last week, sug-
costing that the trade was more dis
posed to await developments around the
present level. The course Of the mar
ket was fairly represented By the &C
ton Of December. After selling at
2O.3O that delivery declined to 1890
rallied to 2O24 and closed at 2ols, or
about points higher on the day. Other
deliveries closed from points higher

The news was conflicting and confus-
ing. Political sdvices were regarded
as something Of disappointment 10
BUYERS of last week, as forecasts OF the
German reply to the Pope were less
optimistic from the standpoint OF peace
possibilities. Weather advices were
scmewhat more favorable than looked
for. but these features were Offset by
more numerous reports OF crop de-
terioration and of smaller Southern
spot offerings. Offerings increased
after the publication OF the eastern
belt forecast, which made a pretty
favorable showing, and the detailed

Liverpool cables said the South is offer
ing less freely there, and local spot
people said their advices indicated that
the demand for September shipment
was still proving sufficient to absorb
early receipts. According TO full re-
port, selling by farmers in the eastern
part of the belt was quito free up To
ten days ago. Since then, owing to the
decline in prices, holding has started
and, although the October quotations
in New York and December quotations
are freely offered by buyers for mid

Cottonseed oil Futures~The market
Yesterday gave evidences Of very ner-
yous undertone. Longs sold heavily
early in the day, prompted by the de-
cline in lard, but more particularly on
account Of the weakness in Wall Street
and in commodity markets in general.
The cash demand was said to be active,
but this failed TO inspire much conf
dence. and, while there was a partial
rally toward the close, final prices were
II to % points net lower. Total sales
for the day were $500 barrels.

Coffee Futures.-The coffee market
was quiet yesterday, with prices show
ing a continued tendency to work lower
owing to absence of support and scat
tered trade selling. The latter was sup
posed to reflect liberal offerings from
Brazil, but it was not active enough to
suggest any real weakness and price
changes were comparatively slight. The
market opened at decline of TO 3
points and closed 2 TO 4 points net
lower. Sales we're reported OF $3.50
