NEW YORK COTTON
NEW ORLEANS COTTON
 Rv Associated Press

New Orleans August S.-Following a period of steadiness in the early trading in the cotton market today, there was a gradual decline which in the late trading reached rather wide proportions. From advices above Saturdays close of 10 to IA points, the market fell off to declines of 2S to 30 points below october traded up to 131Sc and fell back to 1272c which was the closing price Last prices were practically the lowest of the session.
 The early advance was based on continued unfavorable crop accounts from the belt, but before long own CTS of long contracts commenced to realize profits and later there was special selling which was set down to the account of Liverpool. Declines in the Liverpool market also had a sympathetic influence on local prices. although it was generally understood that the English decline was almost wholly due to the advance to Sac in the rate of sterling exchange, while a bearish influence for the English market would be bullish for this mar ket. Pressure to sell continued until the close.
 Texas still complained of the effect Of hot and dry weather on the plant and stated that the crop was deterior- ating fast. The forecast of fair weather for the entire western half of the cotton region made crop pros- poets show up all the worse, but with out stimulating new buying of con sequence after the Initial buying furry was over.

 Scribner.
 The first breath of the Mohamme- dan revival, however. blew the smoul- dering embers of proselytism into a new flame. and everywhere except in Europe, Islam began once more ad- vancing portentously along, all its far flung frontiers. Every Moslem is to some extent a born missionary and instinctively propagates his faith among his nom -Moslem neighbors, so the work was carried on not only by tudes of travellers traders, and hum ble migratory workers. 0f course, numerous zealots consecrated their lives to the task This was particu- larly true of the religious fraternities. The Sennussi have especially distin- guished themselves by their apostolic fervor. and from those natural monas- teries, the oases of the Sahara, thou sands of "Marabouts" have gone forth with flashing eyes and swelling breasts to preach the marvels of Islam, devoured with a zeal like that of the Christian mendicant friars of the middle ages.
 Islam's missionary triumphs among the negroes of west and central Africa during the past century have been extraordinary. Every candid Euro pean observer tells the same story. As an Englishman very justly re.

REACTIONS FOLLOW. LAST WEEKS GAIN. IN COTTON MARKET.
December Sells Off at 13.61c or 36 Points Below the High Prices of
 Last Friday
By Assoointcd Press

New York, August S.-The ad- vances of last week were followed by reactions in the cotton market today with December selling off to 13.6lc or 2s points net lower and S6 points be- low the high prices of last Friday. That delivery closed at 13.e3c with the general market closing steady at a net decline of r to 30 points
 The market opened Saturday at an advance of seven points to decline of seven points with near months relatively firm on a continuation of last weeks buying movement. The bigger spot business reported in LiV- erpool seemed an encouraging fea- ture. but the British futures market was lower than due and houses with Liverpool connections were sellers here at the opening. There was also considerable southern selling and scattered realizing under which prices soon eased off, with the re- action accompanied by rumors that the higher basis asked in the south had checked the demand from the Tar east, and that there prospects for cooler weather in western belt sec tions.
 Some or the early sellers were uis- appointed by the official forecast for warmer in steadier or cooler weatner in Oklahoma and after selling about 20 points net Bwer the market steadied up to several points on COW ering. Trading became very quiet on rallies of 10 or 12 points, however and the market weakened again dur ing the afternoon under renewed realizing and southern hedge selling October was relatively easy selling off to 13.17c, while January broke to 13.59c, making net losses of about F to 30 points on the general list Closing prices were within fe" points of the lowest.
 Reports were circulated through the day that trade demand was less active at the higher prices, but otherwise there appeared to be little or not change in the general char acter of the news, and most Of the local traders attributed the decline to an easier technical position. One Of the local spot firms was a good seller here late in the day, but Liverpool bought considerable cotton on the Je- cline, and there was probably some buying on the rally in exchange rates
