News of Markets
COTTON PRICES DROP UNDER THE
 30 GENT LEVEL

New York, Aug. lS.-'fhe cotton market showed renewed weakness today and prices broke below the 30 cent level, with October deliveries selling off to 29.75, the lowest figure touched since the high record of 36 cents was established toward the end of last month. That delivery closed at 30.05, with the general list clos ing steady at net decline of 40 to 6Z points.
 The weakness was again attributed to nervousness over unsettled general conditions as reflected in the ruling of the stock market, the coutnu -d declines in foreign exchange and the reports of labor unrest at home and abroad. Liverpool Was weak and the opening here was lower, with Liver pool selling of the later months as d prominent feature For a time, the decline was held in check by trade buying and covering. There was some southern selling of October and December, however, and the demand was gradually filled, with the mar ket turning easier during the early afternoon. Stop orders were uncov- cred as prices broke through the early polnt of resistcncc. Offerings then subsided to some extent and there were rallies in the fate trad ing on covering. There appeared to be nothing in the crop or weather news to attract special attention and the trade seemed to center on foreign exchange as an obstacle to exports. prippS.

New Orleans Cotton.

New Orleans, Aug. 1S.--Iow levels for the downward movement in cot- ton were reached today, the market opening at the decline and holding an easy tone almost throughout the entire session.. The Mexican situa- tion, poor Liverpool cables, a good weather map and the weakness of foreign exchange were main items back of the selling. The claim was constantly made by bullish traders that the market was oversold but re- actions from the decline were not wide and very little buying power developed at any time.
 Closing quotations showed net loss es of 70 to TT points. Throughout the day, there was more or less realizing by shorts and this demand kept the market from breaking widely, but there were no upturns of consequence.
 Spots were reduced 50 points to 30.38 for middling, which compared with the low on October of 29.30.
