New Orleans Cotton


 New Orleans, February R-The price of cotton broke $l0 a bale today under the continued crumbling of foreign eX change rates. Additional selling pressure came upon the market because of the uY- confirmed r1Imor that England, in order to ease the situation in sterling ex- change, had prohibited further importa- tions of cotton. The market acted badly 'oversold at the lowest level, and in the afternoon when shorts tried to k&,e profits in large way they caused strong recoveries, so that closing quotations showed net declines for the day of but 99 to 120 points.
 Around the opening prices were Il to 9l points off in response to lower sterling quotations, but shorts were buyers almost immediately, some of the buying appar- ently being stimulated by the strong 1.iv- erpOol and a reaction ensued, which car rie dthe market back to level unchanged to il points up, compared with the last quotation of yesterday Soon after this the real selling movement of the day set in, ard it persisted until prices were 170 to 200 points under yesterdays finals.
 At the loves. of the day March traded at 24 soc, and the closing price on that month was 50 60c. Spots were quoted only 25 points lower at & Soc for midding, and the discount on contracts attracted great deal of comment.

 The downward. movement under the pressure, resulting from demoralization in foreign exchange continued in cot ton today. Lowst levels were reached following the unconfirmed rumor that England had prohibited further i'm portation of cotton because of the low levels touched by sterling exchange and here the market reached limits, standing 200 points net lower on March and May anl ITO to ss points net lower on the latter months.
 Liverpool was better than due, but 1t was generally accepnted that the strength of the English market was due to the same cause that was weakening the American markets, that is, the fall in exchange and therefore, Loverpoofs attitude caused but little buying here ltho1gh after the first decline of about a dollar a bale theer was a reaction to net advances of 1 to l points on the strongest months on realizing by shorts.
 Late in the day the market was up 50 to TO points on realizing, compared with the lowest of the day. We think that the market is in such a strong technical position that it will react sharply on the first favorable turn ln the situation.

LIGHT MONEY RATES BIG MARKET FACTOR
 IN THE CHICAGO PIT
Both Corn and Oats Dip Downward, While Provisions Went Off S5e to s1.7O Under Tues
 days Finals
By Associated Prsss

Chicago, February 4-BreaSs in foreign exchange together with lightness in do- nestle money rates. led to liquidation in the grain and provision market today and brought about a sharp setback in prices.
 Corn closed nervous at IS to cents net lower. with May Sl lSss4d 4dD1.S2'x and July Sl.@Ss@1 .297s. Oats finished 2c hO 2l4aR9sc down, and provisions off s5c to s1.70.
 Downturns in the value of corn began as soon as trading commenced. Denor- alization of exchange was generally in- terpreted as meaning such grave cur tatlment of export business in all com modities that the price of corn would suffer seriously from the inevitable sym pathetic influence. Anxiety was also ex- pressed as to railroad traffic difficult ties, which amounted to virtual embargo on grain shipments eastward from Chi cago The most pronounced effect in the corn market was on quotations of nearby deliveries Selling pressure became more and more evident until after midday. but then it was somewhat offset by GOV ering by shorts and by 8 transient rally in sterling.
 Oats paralleled corn. Domestic distrib- utors were said to have bought quite freely on the decline in prices.
 Provisions dropped with hogs and grain. At one time pork showed a break of more than & barrel and lard and ribs sl.50 a hundredweight. the steepest fall in some time.
