New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, August s.-After a short
iNed bulge around the opening here to-
day, cotton fell off under selling for both
accounts, reaching lowest Levels late in
the session when the market was Al points
under Yesterdays last prices and closing
at net loss of 81 to So points. The SELL
ing wave started on the favorable con-
struction placed on the government s
weekly crop and weather reports, and
also was encouraged by the forecast of
rains tonight and tomorrow. for the
greater part of Texas.
The early rise carried the market 81 to
81 points up and was caused by the con-
tlnued rains in the eastern belt and the
continued drouth in Texas. Many brokers
considered the market top heavy at the
highest levels of the session. While the
tone was steadied by the spot situation.
spot news did not have as much effect
as it has recently.
For a while in the early afternoon
prices were 10 to Is points up from the
lowest, but disturbing political rumors of
vague character were heard toward the
close and help unsettle the market
