New York, Aug. 26.-In view Of poor
cables and better weather in the belt,
the cotton market opened easier today at
ten to eighteen points net decline, but
met good supporting orders. which held
the market steady after the opening.
The belt weather was generally clear,
with light showers in Texas and Arkan =
sas.
Reports from Charlotte, n. c., told
Of riots among cotton mill operatives.
but, while this unsettled sentiment
somewhat, it failed to impart much
weakness to the market, which Mt the
end of the first fifteen minutes was
about even with the opening levels.
The market remained quiet during the
middle of the morning. The early selling
on labor troubles In southern mills, the
easier cables and better weather map,
appeared to have>been pretty we'll run
its course on the decline of about 20 to
20 points.
Later fluctuations we're comparatively
narrow and irregular, suggesting little
more than continued disposition tc
even up commitments for over the
Labor Day adjournment and pending
a clearer line on the approaching gov
ernment report.
The receipts at the ports for the da!
are estimated at 5000 bales, agains
,053 bales a week ago, 1854 bales ,
year ago and "a ,53S bales two year
i ago.

and fresh fears ABOUT the attitude of the

Conservative operators were of the
opinion that the government would see

corn out of the Lone Star state, thus
