New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, August BOA pro- noVnced selling-out movement among holders of long contracts was the domi- hating influence in cotton today, the market feeling pressure from liquida- tion from the opening to the close al- though there were periods when offer ings were not very liberal and partial recoveries resulted. Opening at the de- Cline the loss was soon widened to 53 to 65 points. Fresh buying entered at the decline and recovery ensued, but this and subsequent hard spots brought out increased selling. On the strong less than 10 points below yesterdays close but late in the day the lowest levels were reached. where the trading months were at net loss of 54 to 65 points. Last prices were at net losses of 53 to GA points.
 A private bureau condition report of 60 per cent of the normal appeared to be accepted in bearish way early in the session, although it pointed to . crop of only 11,500,000 bales. The dis position to treat this percentage in this way was due to the use of yesterdays very low private condition figures as comparisons.
 Late in the day there was a burst of selling and in the last few minutes of trading the market was nervous and excited. The official tone on the close was irregular. The market closed for three days, in observance of Labor Day.

MARKET CLOSED
 UNTIL TUESDAY
Governments s Monthly Con- ditiOn Figures to Be Civ
 en Out on That Day

New York, August 3O.-The cotton mar
 ket was very irregular today. An early
 decline of about s per pale was almost entirely recovered but prices broke again
 in the later trading. and the close was
 barely steady at net loss of 50 to 62 points. After selling at 34.45c, October advanced to S5c and closed at 34.50c.
 The opening was easy at a decline of 45 to S2 points, and within the first few minutes active months sold 60 to 90 points net lower, with December touch-
 ing S390c and January 33,7oc, under heavy realizing or liquidation. This made a break of about 125 to TAO points from the high levels of yesterday, which seemed sufficient to bring in covering. and there was also some buying by trade interests. Ruiiish private crop advices 'helped the rallyrand during the early aft ernoon the market sold back to within or 6 points of last nights closing fig ures with December touching 34.45c and January s4.soc. There was southern sell ing and further liquidation for over the three-day adjournment and the gov ernment's report, which is scheduled for publication Tuesday morning. hew- ever. and the market broke sharply in the late trading, with December closing at S3 94c and January at 33.82c. Two pri- yate crop reports were published. one of them making the present condition very low against TIA last month and pointing to a yield of Il, 1,5O0,000 bales, excluding linterS The other made the condition 576, against 76.3 last month, with the comment that while southwestern rains had been too late to show in condition figures, they might add 50o,00l bales to the crop with a late frost. These reports were about in line with previous figures. the nine reports issued averaging 58.5 as to condition and indicating a deteriora- tion of about IS points for the month. The Liverpool market will be open for business on Monday, but the American markets will remain closed from tonight until Tuesday morning. United States port stocks, S07, ,9SS.

CORN FOUND NEW LEVELS IN TIE PIT.
  Oats Nervous, While Trad ing in Provisions Was Sluggish, But Firm,

Chicago. August 30-Corn today found a new low level, but recovered and closed 7AQ11kc over yesterday. The dip was due to the fact that victories in Eu- rope are regarded as bearish, and to the big discount of the number five grades in the sample market, which declined SO 10c and We're 7c under the August and September deliveries. The closing rally was due to profit taking by shorts.
 Cash houses generally were on the sell ing side. October closed 11sc up at s1.56A. Fluctuations were 27sc and were nervous and jerky.
 In the oats pit the same nervous ten sion was observed, but sentiment was more evenly divided than in corn. Cash houses and those with country connec- tions continued hedging. Some of the buying was reported as being for ship. pers. Cash oats were slightly lower, with No. white about 2Ac and standard about 1%c under October Receipts con tinued liberal.
 The provisions market was sluggish. but firm, in sympathy with corn anu hogs, exeert that ribs worked 5c lower. Pork closed 1214@20c and lard 5c higher.

Big Traders of Wall Street Did Net
 Take We'll to Reproof on Speculation
ny JOHN c. MOSES

With the half holiday in view, ana with the unexpected calldown by the chairman of the local money pool on ex- cessive speculation, trading lapsed into more duiness, less than half a score or issues being among the turnovers. Con- plete recoveries were made during the listless midday session by United States Steel, Canadian Pacific and minor rails. Dealings in other quarters ofSthe stock list were negligible. but foreign bonds continued charden on the further rise of Paris exchcange. Short covering ill steels, shippings and other faveriies caused a further hardening of prices Tn the last hoor. The closing was firm. Final prices today on Liberty Bonds were: 31hs.s 1o1.5s; first convertible IS, 9444; second .4s,. 94o4: first convertible AS, 94.4s; second convertible, 4As, 94,V6 third sAs, 95.cA

ture yesterday, an early decline of s per bale being followed by a good rise. At S5c for october and 343oc for January. the market met a little more realizing and there were reactions of 20 or 30 points during the early afternoon. General busl- ness remained quiet and there was TO fresh feature in the talk around the ring. Cotton markets will be closed from last night until Tuesday, when the govern ment report will be given. One private estimate puts the number of bales at l1.5oo.ooo. Liverpool will be open for bust ness on Monday.
 Corn sought new low level yester- day, but made a comeback and closed Ae to l15c ever yesterday. European al lied victories are considered bullish in the corn pit, and this caused the early dip. Oats were also nervous, with bid ding sentiment equally divided. There was some hedging, and receipts were lib- eral. Tn provision the trading was slug gish but firm, in sympathy with corn and hogs.
