New Orleans, August 23.-Our market opened 20 to 30 points down, but rallied on firm New York opening, and but for the unfavorable foreign news the market would have gone higher on crop rains over Sunday. The detailed govern ment records showed heavy general rains in the lower central belt and over two inches at several points in Mississippi. However, a sharp break in Liverpool after it had come a few points better than due caused our markets to become weak and making new low levels. October opened at 26 40c sold as high as 26.70c during the first hour, but wroked down to 25c during the last hour, cauins around the low. Spots were 50 off in New Orleans and 100 in New York; in Houston 250 off, middling there 2so. After Liverpool's bad break the ex- changes explanations being fear of . coal strike failures in the Far East. heavier offerings of cotton and liqulda- ton by tired longs. The main trouble with the market, however, is the ao- sence of any buying power of conse- quence except short covering and a~iit- tie trade buying.
 Liquidation continues; demand is nii' foreign news unfavorable. Still the mar ket is under cost of productions. The weather remains unfavorable; deterior;l- tion and boil weevil damage increases. We cannot see how we can have further declines at this time.-S. R. Stewart & Co.

American Cotton & Grain Exchange
New Orleans Cotton


 New Orleans, August 23.-Sel1ng pressure was felt by cotton today practically from the opening to the close. Around the opening the months under least pressure were for mo- ment seven to twenty points over the close of Saturday but almost immedl- ately the whole list sagged and the decline was constantly widened until in the last few minutes the session the market was 156 to 166 points un- der Saturdays final prices. The close was 156 to 165 points net lower on the day. October traded down to 25.ol and March 23.54.
 Selling around the opening was due mainly to the sudden and wide break in Liverpool market which private ca blegrams said was caused by fear or a coal strike in England. There were also rumors that the English market had been affected by humors of large failure in the Far West and by the boycott on English goods in India Japanese selling was very heavy dur ing the first hour of the day.
 The market made almost no recov- cries. upturns being narrow and al ways followed by fresh recessions- The lack of a spot demand was always selling influence and lowest prices were made following reports Of much lower spot prices in the markets Of the interior.

SHORTS AGGRESSIVE IN WALL STREET MARKET YESTERDAY
Money Market Steered An Even Course, Interior Banks Lending Moder-

By Associated Press

New York August 23.-Probably on the assumption that last weeks rally was not unwarranted by technical con ditions shorts renewed their aggres- sive tactics in the stock market today, an irregular to heavy tone ruling al the close.
 The reversal occasioned surprise in some quarters, however, because many of the developments over the week end were distinctly favorable to the long account The one worthy ex- ception was the clearing house state- ment, which disclosed a severe con traction of actual reserves
 Advices received throughout the ses- sion pointed to the further marked success of the Polish offensive. This was neutralized in part by cables which tended to confuse latest political phase of the eastern European con flict.
 The money market steered an even course, interior banks again lending moderately of time funds. regardless or further prospective withdrawals of cash for crops and federal payments. Call money was offered in round amounts at per cent and additional purcnases of paper were reported.

NEW LOW RECORDS
 |ARE MADE IN COTTON IN THELATE MONTHS
Covering Caused Rallies of Severel Points During Middle of the Day, But
 Did Not Hold
By Associated Press

New York, August 23.-There were fur ther declines in the cotton market here today, with prices for all the active de- liveries making new low records. No sales of August were reported below 3lc, but that position closed nominally at 2S. 75c, or 375 points net lower, while later months showed net losses of 100 to 16J points. December contracts sold as low as 24.7Sc and closed at 24S0c, compared with 26.43c, the closing price of Satur- day, and 31.44c, the high point touched or the rally earlier in the month.
 The market had one of the most irregu- lar and nervous openings reported since the beginning of the present decline. There were evidently good many buy ing orders around the ring attracted by the steadier tone of late Saturday, and while August started at a decline of lOO points, October and November showed advances of IS to 35 points. Later months
 were influenced by the sharp break in Liverpool, opening at a decline of to 60 points, and active positions generally soon sold some 50 to 30 points below last closing figures. Private cables reporting rumors in Liverpool of failu- ures in the Far East and Manchester selling on apprehensions of coal strike, combined with the sensational break In the English market, had a very unset ting effect on sentiment, and there was liquidation by recent buyers for a re- action.
 Covering was active enough to cause rallies of several points during the mid dle of the day, but the. market soon
 weakened again, reaching the lowest prices of the day, and movement In the late trading, when there were reports of further decline in southern spot mar kets. october sold off to 25.95c and Jan |uary to 2414c, with active months snow ing net losses of 147 to TO points. There was no confirmation of rumored Far
 Eastern failures, and except for the Liverpool cables mentioned, local traders seemed to be without any information of such conditions
