NEW YORK. COTTON.

NEW YORK, Aug. 20.-Yesterday's
covering movement seemed to have
weakened the technical position Of the
cotton market and the opening today
was easy at a decline Of Is TO "a points
with active months selling about 20 to
38 points under yesterdays closing durA
ing the early trading, Rumors of meas
ures to help the foreign exchange Sit
uation which had helped yesterdays
rally lacked confirmation and expecta-
lions of a favorable weekly weather re-
port also prompted the decline to 30, Acc
for october and 30.52c for January,
October sold off to 30.35 and Janu-
airy to 30.40 right after the publication
of the weekly weather report indicat-
ing that conditions had been generally
favorable for cotton. This made a de-
cline of so points from last nights
closing figures and offerings were Hight
er late in the morning with prices
showing rallies of 10 to Is points On
covering.
The continued weakness of foreign
exchange led to renewed selling during
the early afternoon, with October de-
clining to 1910, and January to 80. %. or
about 70 to rs points below last nights

New York wire to Shepard & Gluck
says:
THE foreign exchange market In the
early dealings showed the worst de-
moralization that has yet been wit
messed.
The market displays an acute inter-
est In the movement of the foreign ex-
changes, as well It may, but II Is like
ly to continue rather inactive for a
time unless there should be important
news developments. Bankers are TAX
ing a very conservative position and
| are discussing the possible effect of a
drop in sterling to 81 the pound. which
| for some reason or other has been
spoken of generally as the dead line.
The smaller volume OF stock trading
since the drastic liquidations seems
proof of what We have been saying
lately about the public's lessened appe-
tite for stocks.
