COTTON AGAIN Is
 ON THE T0B0GCAN
Closes at New York 63 to v Points Lower on Bear Press ure-RuSsian Situation Brings in Renewed Pressure.

New York, Sept. l2.-There was a renewal of general selling in the cot ton market today and prices not only lost their recent gains, but most of the active months made new low ground for the movement. December contracts sold off from 20.S0 to 19.86c, closing at that level, or 73 points be- low the close of yesterday and 10 points under the lowest price reached on the break of last week. The gen eral list closed barely steady at net decline of 63 to 77 points.
 The market opened at an advance of 72 points on September and to 20 points on later months, but the bulge in the spot position was considered of | little significance and the tone was barely steady. The reactionary senti- ment inspired by the extent of last weeks break and the reports of crop deterioration was much less in evi- dence after the rally of some 80 or 90 points from Saturdays low level. and prices weakened right after the call. A slight rally preceded the publication of the weekly weather report, but this statement read more favorable than expected and the market soon weak ened again, becoming extremely ner- Vous and unsettled late in the after noon. Leading spot house brokers were sellers, while weakness in the stock market and an unfavorable view of the Russian situation appeared to be bringing in renewed pressure from Wall street sources. Closing prices were at practically the low point of the day.
 Cotton closed barely steady.
