New Orleans Cotton
 Hv Asx0oIatpd Press

New Orleans, August 19-The selling movement persisted in cotton today. forcing prices to the lowest levels re- corded in about year. The opening was lower and the initial decline continued until prices were 67 to 87 points under yesterdays close. Following this was a period of partial recoveries. but these upturns hardly went more than 30 points up from the lowest before fresh selling was met. Late in the day the most de- termined selling of the session developed and it put the market to new low levels. where October traded at 27c and March at S. 45c. At these levels the list of trad ing months was at losses of 107 to IA points. The close was 93 to 99 points down.
