STOPPING OF EXPORT CAUSES A SLUMP
 IN COTTON FIGURES
General List Closed Barely Steady at a Net Decline of 30 to Al Points on
 the Day
ssssa ps,r,sessx ka


 New York September 2s.-Reports that no further exports would be permitted from this country to Great Britain until the English railway strike was settled. and weak Liverpool cables had a very unsettling effect on the cotton market here today. After selling on to 317o, December rallied to s240 on bullish crop and spot advices hut lost a good part of the improvement closing at 32.05. with the general list closing barely steady at I net decline of 90 to fl points. The market opened barely steady at T decline of 70 to 9 points and sold 40 to , 4S points lower right after the call under liquida ton, Liverpool and southern sell ing. There were apprehensious that the tieing up of the English roads would in- terfere with Manchester consumption and restrict exports. Early reports from the south indicated firm situation, however, while selling on the British railroad strike was restricted by a possibility that a set clement might be reached before there had been any prolonged disturbance of industrial conditions.
 Sharp rallies followed on the continued bullish average of crop advices, with Oc- tober advancing to 32.05 and January to g. 45 on covering and trade buying but apprehensions of weak Liverpool cables tomorrow led to another wave of real izing or liQudaticn in the late trading. A southwestern authority estimates the condition of the crop at 54 and the indi- cated yield at 10.400,00o bales, while Chicago firm made the condition 55.1 ana the indicated crop Il G00.00o.

CORN TOOK DROP WITH FOREIGN EXCHANGE RATES Oats Unchanged to 1 11-Sc Down, While Provisions

Chicago. September 29.-New declines in the value of corn took place today, 1 owing more or less to fresh drop in foreign exchange rates and to notice that as result of the British railway | strike all sailings to the Cnited King dom had been suspended. The market closed unsettled, h@1hc net lower, with December $1.24A @$1.24% and May sI221s Q722%. Oats finished un- changed to 1Bc down. and provisions varying from soc decline to rise of roc
 Lack of support was evident from the outset in the corn market with weakness of foreign exchange tenn porarily the main bearish factor, sup plemented by lower quotations on hogs. It was not, however, until holding up of vessels in United States ports was announced that selling pressure be- came pronounced. A large amount of grain for the United Kingdom was said to be waiting at the seaboard, and with new loading of vessels prohibited misgivings were expressed that interior congestion might ensue. Under such circumstances bulls remained at a dis advantage throughout the session.

New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, September 29.--Wide declines were forced in the cotton mar ket today by selling movement which was felt on the opening. and which per sisted until the trading months were about S4 bale under the level of last weeks close. Extremely unfavorabfe private bureau reports on the crop had almost no effect, the dominating in fluence of the session being the fear that the railroad strike in England might lead to the closing of ports in order to avoid congestion of freight and the stoppage of the mills because of the scarcity of coal.
 Opening lower, the market soon lost about 50 points. but recovered 20 to 90 points around the middle of the morn ing on private condition figures but met increased offerings on the reac- ton. Before midday the active months were 79 to s3 points under the final quotations of last week. Tn the after noon the realizing operations of early sellers caused moderate recoveries, so that the close showed net losses of but i3S to A points
 Three private renorts on condition apneared one of 54 4. another of 54 and thethird of 52 :. the last indicating a crop of but S.7s6. 100 bales. During the greater part of the session these fig ures hardly did pore than steady the market at the decline.
