LIQUIDATION WAS CAUSE OF B|G DROP
 IN COTTON PRICES
Final Prices Slightly Up From the Bottom and 6S to v Points
 Net Lower
By Associated Press

New York, July S1.-A liquidating movement on large scale mostly from Wall street houses. influenced by a break in stocks, caused another violent drop in cotton prices today
 The selling movement reached it's climax in the afternoon when Octob CT dropped to SS.52 and December Ss.70 or so points under the previous close with final prices only a little up from the bottom and 6S to TT points net lower.
 Commission houses and the room trade did little either way in the mar ket as they appeared to be pretty well evened up for the government report due at II o'clock Friday morning. There was early selling by Liverpool and the south. following an opening decline of 16 to 32 points in the local market
 Another favorable weather map, ac- combined by beaish crop ai%ces from number of points in the belt checked bull support during the day and bear traders believed that the market had practically discounted a decline of a point in the government report this being the average decline from last month of all the private crop reports thus far issued and the average guess of s4 members of the cotton exchange. The trade was impressed nevertheless by talk of large exports in the next ten days. especially of Germany. which is taking a good deal of off grade cot ton.
 Two vessels were said to be loading at Norfolk for Hamburg and two for Bremen, being the first German car gos to leave that port.
 Cotton men who have observed the labor situation said today that it would be very reasonable to expect an exodus of negro labor from northern cities back to the south again in view of the race riots a Washington and Chicago

 New Orleans, July 3.-Prices sagged from the opening almost to the close ir' the cotton market today a soft tone developed under poor cables and favora- ble weather, combined with more optimistic feeling regarding the crop. No recuperative power at all was shown, recessions from the decline being very narrow At the lowest levels the active months were 90 to 102 points under the last quotations of yesterday the close was at net losses of 80 to s7 points on top of all other influences was the belief that the condition report tomorrow would indicate a larger crop than was indicated by the condition report of month ago. At the same time bullish traders pointed out the possibility that tomorrow s figures would be the lowest of record for July 20.

MONEY MARKET LEADING FEATURE
 OF WALL STREET
Call Money Opened at 6 to 6z Per Cent, the Higher Rate on Undesirable
 Securities
By Associated Press

New York, July 31.-Operations on the stock exchange today were gov erned almost wholly by the course of the money market rates for call loans of both classes rising to- maximum quotations of many weeks.
 The weekend holiday was another uncertain factor. many traders avail ing themselves of the impending re- cess to tighten their commitments for the long account.
 Call money opened at to 6k per cent, the higher rate applying to the less desirable security, but just before the close Is per cent was paid for loans on mixed collateral and 20 per cent on industrials.
 Although the federal reserve board took no official action regarding brok- CTS loans, it was generally understood that intimations from high financial quarters urged the need for partial check on existing speculative condi tions.
 In all probability, however, the high CT rates of. the day were precipitated by the withdrawal of funds to meet maturing obligations. These included the s100,000,000 Canadian loan and the American foreign securities loan, both falling due tomorrow.
 Transactions were moderately large, but with the exception of several is- sues dominated by pools, such as to- bacco, leather, paper and food shares. and a brief spurt ih oils, the trend was unmistakably downward after the ir- regular first hour.
 Selling was at it's highest in the last 30 minutes. the reversal beginning with steels and motors where declines ranged from ? to points, rails and shppings losing 2 to 3 points.
 Sales am mounted to 100000 shares.
 The weakness of utility issues was again a feature of the bond market, Liberty and foreign groups holding rel atively steady. Total sales, par value, were s9,S75,000.
 Old U. s. bonds were unchanged on call.
