QUIET YESTERDAY
CLOSING AT DECLINE
General List Closed Barely
Steady at a Net Decline of
II to Fl Points Under
Wednesday

New York, Augusa 2S.-The cotton mar
ket was quiet today and fluctuations ir-
regular After selling off to S1.75c, De-
cember rallied to 81. Sc but eased again
in the late trading and closed at 81 Csc,
with the general list closing barely steady
at a net decline of 70 to q points.
There was considerable Liverpool SELL
ing during the earlier trading, particu-
larry for March delivery, which was sup
posed to be in the way of hedges or
straddles. Later in the day there was
some selling for southern account but
otherwise business was attributed chiefly
to further reduction or accounts i'm ad-
vance of the three.day adjournment and
the government report. The market
opened steady at decline of to q
points in response to easier cables and
a favorable weather map, and active
months sold about 80 to 40 points net
lower during the middle of the morn
ing Offering then subsidized and prices
rallied on covering promoted by the
steadier tone of sterling exchange, the
improved tone of the stock market and
a more optimistic view of the labor out
look Low private condition figures con-
tributed to the advance which carried
October contracts up from 81 .4oc to 81 95c
and January from LIE TO 32.20c, or l6 to
% points net lower.
The close showed reactions of 80 TO 50
points from the best. One of the private
crop reports made the condition S.5
and the other placed it at 607, while the
average of estimates by cotton exchange
members was 61.S.

New Orleans Cotton.


New Orleans, August 2S.-Although
there were periods of steadiness, the
general trend of the cotton market was
toward lower levels under the effect OF
greatly improved weather conditions n
the belt The lack of a spot demand
and uneasiness over labor troubles
were underlying influences working
for lower prices To some extent the
better weather in the cotton region
was offset by crop accounts from pri-
vate sources which were very unfavor-
able in nature. but advances were not
well sustained.
Opening lower the market fell off
until it was % to so points under the
close of yesterday. Shorts covered and
their demand was sufficient to bring
about recoveries; moderate buying for
long account came in and the active
months were sent 6 to IL points
higher than yesterdays final prices,
but late in the session the market
weakened again and last prices were
at net losses of 16 to 25 points.
Some of the steadiness around the
middle of the day was due to the mo-
mentary better feeling in foreign ex-
change and a private bureau condition

VARIOUS FIGHTS ON
HIGH LIVING COST
DOMINATED GRAIN
Both Corn and Oats Were
Well Down, While Provi-
siOns List Was S5c to
$3.50 Lower

Chicago, August S.-Agita ZION against
the high cost of living with he different
phases covered by national and state
government agencies, was the Influence
which dominated the grain markets. to-
DAY. Continued liquidation was the rule
and price rallies the exception. Tie gen.
eral bearish feeling was accumulated by
sharp declines in live hog values. which
were directly reflected in lower meat
products and to lesser degree by small
er prices for corn and oats.
The September pork pack shot down
81. 70 a barrel and closed 81 so under yes
terday's figures. December and May
corn dragged all day and touched new
low record prices for the season.
Corn closed weak and near the low
point, 2aa@37sc net lower, with Septem-
Der sl.75Ad1.76 and December at 81 $3.50
1.S7h. Oats finished lie to 1asc lower, and
provisions s5c to $3.50 lower
The lower priced live hogs, which
| sagged 81 to $780, added to the bearish
sentiment. Cash corn. which has been
at a generous premium over the futures,
| tumbled sharply, declining &c to &c a
last weeks prices.
Country offerings of corn were lighter
and some traders insisted that old corn
was still on the farms and in sufficient
quantity to be a market factor.
Oats showed weakness with corn,
though the declines were less sharp and
evidence of a fairly firm undertone was
seen from time to time. Country of
ferings were small and there was little
export demand
Provisions were extremely weak with
all products touching new low points.
The proposed opening of government
stores, development in the fight against
the high cost of living, together with
the break in live hogs, gave full sweep
to bearish activity. Pork led in the
downturn, at one time dropping s2.7o
below yesterdays closing prices lead
ing packer was credited with selling
lard There was little support to the
market At the yards 5000 hogs were
received and about 1900 of the animals
were unsold at the close of trading. Es-
timated hog receipts tomorrow were
placed at 1900
The September product finished: Pork,
