crowd and the days gossip said the spot houses who were buyers last week turned sellers today. Wall street and the west ern crowd were also sellers.
 It is quite probable the big spot houses wish to hold the market and their atti- tude today was to influence the smaller fry.
 The start for the new crop is becoming a serious consideration. I have anticI- pated this sinking spell but believe it has gone about far enough. It may be possible the big fellows will invite a short interest by driving prices down to a basis of Is cents or below for July, New Orleans. On the other hand, it Is a very difficult matter to pick the low and ! am inclined to advise cautious purchases at present levels, with sufficient margins to protect and ability to average If another drive IS made.

NEW CROP MONTHS
 RELATIVELY EASY
Prices Sell Off in the Cotton Market Under Scattering
 Liquidation

New York, March 27.-The cotton mar ket showed renewed nervousness today, with prices selling off under scattering liquidation. New crop months were re- latively easy, with October contracts de- clining to 1796c or 26 points under last nights close, when May sold at 1S.74c or Il points net lower, The close was steady at net decline of to points.
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of 1 to g points in response to relatively steady cables, reports of heavy rains east of the river, and further sharp decrease in the local stock. This explained the relatively firm ruling of the old crop positions, while there was some Liverpool buying of the new crop on the reports of further delays in new crop preparations Realizing was in evidence from the start however. and became more active after the publication of the eastern belt forecast for clearing weather. Houses with Wall street connections were sellers of new crop deliveries supposedly in the day or liquidation, while there was good deal of switching from old to new crop positions The steady re- duction in the stock here available for delivery on contract restricted old crop offerings while recent buying of Wall street or commission houses had been largely in October and December. The decline uncovered stop orders in these later deliveries, with the general list selling off to a net loss of Il to 2 points late in the afternoon. July contracts touched 18.56c and December 1S.04c, mak- ing decline of about 37 to 55 points from recent high levels. The break was then checked by covering, and last prices showed rallies of several points from the lowest Nervousness over political af
 fairs was considered largely responsible for liquidation, and traders were believed to be evening up their accounts pending some line on the action of Congress next week. The census bureau reported 969,- 43S bales of linters from the crop of 1916.
