New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, September 4.--Althougl, the market was steady in the morning session, cotton today had a downward tendency nearly all the time and devel- oped pronounced weakness near the close, when it stood 139 to 145 points under the last prices of yesterday. Closing quotations were at a net loss of 134 to 143 points. Liquidation from the long side was tie main influence against val ues, although considerable short selling was aroused because of the better show ing than expected of the weekly crop .e turns.
 On the orering call the market was up for an irregular advance, the trading months making gains of from to e5 points. This was soon replaced by a net decline of about 50 points. The weekly reports 2, 10 O clock were much less un- favorable than expected. not bearing # bullish claims of decided deterioration since Angus. 25.
 In the early afternoon the tone was steady, buc rrices commenced to decline. and sellin;, ir aggressiveness as the mar ket gave ground Lowest levels wera reached in the lsst few minutes of trad ing.

HEDGING AND SPOT
 OFFERING FEATURE
Future Cotton List Closed Steady at Decline of 1OS
 to 107 Points

New York, September 4.-Reports that yesterdays advance had attracted increased.spot offerings and hedge sell in the cotton market today. The general list closed barely steady at net de- cline of 10S to 117 points.
 The market opened firm at an ad- vance of to 70 points on strong Liver pool cables, the favorable war news Liverpool and Wall street buying. There was heavy southern selling, however supposed to be a reflection of the in- creased spot business reported late yesterday and the market soon weak ened. After showing net losses of 55 to 70 points, the market steadied toward the end of the first hour and there were rallies of 40 to 50 points before the publication of the weekly report of the weather bureau. This proved very spot ted. but on the whole rather encour- aged hope that recent rains might add slightly to the crop in some sections with favorable weather hereafter, and the further rains reported in Texas and Oklahoma today probably encouraged the selling. The main factor, however was the appearance of increased offer ings from the south during the middle of the afternoon, when prices again weakened. Stops were again uncovered as prices broke through the low point of the morning and the lowest levels of the day were reached in the late trading, when December sold at 34.30c and January at 34.15c. The general list at this time showed net losses of 124 to 130 points and declines of about 22C to 233 points from yesterdays high rec ord. The close was 10 or 15 points ur from the lowest on covering.
 The selling for southern account was reported more active than at any time previously this season, being one of the chief trading features on the early break and again late in the afternoon Port receipts today, 15,951. United States port stocks S25.92S.

Over Campbell X Co.'s Wire

New Orleans. September 1.-The ten dency in cotton today was to decline under liquidation from the long side mixed with a moderate amount of short selling, the latter inspired chiefly by the fact that the weekly crop reports were not as unfavorable as expected The market also missed sensational features in the war news for while the allies appeared to be making good progress none of the extravagant claims so prevalent yesterday were made to- day.
 Momentarily, on the opening, prices were to 35 points up, but this irregu- lar advance was soon wiped out and re- placed by net advance; eaTly trad ing the market lost about half a cent a pound In the afternoon the market market was steady enough at the de- cline, but at no time did it display even a flash of the strength which has so featured it of late
 While the weekly returns regarding the crop from the government report could hardly be called bearish, it can not be said that they indicated decided deteriorations in August. Cotton inn proved in some localities" Said the summary wired out from Washington. This might have stamped it as bearish but for this statement a little farther along Rains caused some advance in many localities but in most other sec tions progress continued unsatisfac- tory. Reactions are quite likely to com tinue, but any material recessions will probably bring fresh buying in volume. especially if any bullish features de- ivelop.-Shepard & Gluck.
