Over Private Wires
Over W. I. Pheits & Co.'s Wire

New Orleans, July A.-In the early
trading today cotton broke for fairly
wide declines under show Of bearish
sentiment fostered by a better opinion
of weather and crop conditions and de-
cidedly pessimistic opinion of the English
Ia hor situation. The statement that 800
ships were tied up in Liverpool because
of the dock strike and that mills in GER
tain districts of England would prob
ably have to close down ct the end OF
the week because of the shortage OF fuel
resulting from the coal miners strike
caused much adverse comment.
The forecast called for little rain ex-
eept in Georgia and South Carolina. me
d;snosition seems to be to look for less
huliish July condition figures than were
issued for June, and this opinion may
dominate the market for the near future
