New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, August 25.-Except for momentary rise around the opening, cot- ton stood at the decline today through out the session, and at its lowest was at a net loss of AS to 54 points. The close was practically at the lowest Heavy selling for both long and short account stimulated by good weather and crop re- ports bearish weekend statistics and lower southern spot markets were respon- sible for the decline.
 On the opening shorts were buyers of covers over the weekend on rather q large scale, and their demand put prices , to b points up. The hard spot met heavy selling based on the dry weather map and private bureau report showing crop improvement for the month in Louisiana, Alabama and Mississippi The downward trend brought on the market much long cotton taken on because of the belief that reaction from the long de- cline was due.
 The weakness was in evidence until the close, because reports from the interior told of further declines in spot centers. Any hard spots on realizing by satisfied shorts were the signal for renewed liqui- dation, much of which was due to the large into-sight, the small mill takings, and the increase in the visible supply, an unusual variation at this time of the year.

 showed its first increase of the season,
 5065 bales, against decrease this week last year of 54,099, and decrease this
 week two years ago of 117,632.. For the time being, the main features of the sit
 uation favor the bear side. It Is note- worthy, however, that Texas Is beginning
