New Orleans Cotton
Ry Associated Pres,


 New Orleans, November 15.-The selling movement in cotton was con tinued today and it gained it's greatest momentum toward the end. so that on all months, but December closing prices were the lowest of the session and the market was toned weak on the close Last prices were 45 points net lower on December at 36 S5c and 50 to 101 points net lower on the rest of the list The main reason for the selling ap- peared to be a continued unfavora ble view of the money market, which inn pression was deepened by the further decline in foreign exchange. The fair weather over the belt, and prospects that it would continue for day or two at least. was also selling fac tor.
 On the opening December bulged 20 points on short covering, but other months were down and after the call the list stood at net declines of 45 to 60 points, December momentarily be- 2s the weakest month. As the ses- sion progressed much straddle trading came in. and some little transferring from the near to the distant positions, so that the near months became much stronger than the distant. This ir- regularity was most pronounced to- ward the close.

COTTON AGAIN DIPS DOWNWARD WITH A VERY WEAK MARKET General List Closed Weak at Net Declines of 9 to no Points Under Fri
 days Close
By Associated Press

New York November 15.-There was another big break in the cotton mar ket today, with spring and summer months making new low ground for the movement January contracts broke from 3505c, the early high level to 34.75c and May from 3290c to 32.03c, with the close weak at a net decline of 25 to 110 points.
 The opening was Il points higher on December, but generally 25 to 5S points lower under overnight selling orders. These initial offerings were soon absorbed and the market rallied on reports that the governor of the federal reserve board had denied yes terday's rumors that loans on cotton would be called or restricted. Near months were relative,y firm. with De- cember selling up to 36.9Sc. or 3S points net higher, but spring and summer de- liveries did not fully recover the early losses and the market turned very weak in the late trading under heavy southern and Wall street selling. I
 The weakness of foreign exchange had an unsettling influence, and the heaviest pressure followed the publi- cation of Washington advices to the effect that while there would be no special action against cotton, redis- count rates on commodities generally might be advanced. Increased margin requirements were also said to be re- sponsible for scattering liquidation late in the morning and closing prices were the lowest of the day except in the case of December, which showed a rally of 10 points.
 Some of the advices received by local houses from the south claimed very lit tie money was loaned on cotton in the interior and shipping interests here said that funds to a considerable amount would soon be released by an increased export movement.
