Over Private Wires
Shannon & Co.'s Letter


 New York, August 5s-The market was under pressure again dudring the later trading, and all the recovery which oc- cured during the middle of the session on covering by shorts was lost, as sellers were encouraged to put out their lines again, since demand did not broaden at the advance, and there appeared to be further belated long liquidation on th% part of those who did not close during the early break
 Some in the trade point to the fact that while the goods markets are more quiet they have not weakened perceptibly, and feel that further declines after the ex- tensive liquidation will imply extensive additions to the short interest with a correspondingly sharp recovery whenever the buying power revives for any reason Southern selling has not played any i'm portant part in the decline and holders do not appear worried. Exports today were 13,000 bales. It would require more than human foresight to predict the course of prices in such markets, but We feel that cotton will look cheap at these prices before the season is much older Post & Flagg.
