NERVOUSNESS AND
 DECLINING PRICES
 FEATURED COTTON
General Market Closed Steady at a Net Decline of Thirty to Fifty-four Points
 on the Day
By Associated Press

New York, October 7.--Yesterday rallies were followed by renewed nervousness. and declining prices in the cotton market today. After sell ing at 20.40c early December broke to 19.76c, or 6l points below last nights closing quotation, and closed at l9.s3c, with the general market closing steady at a net decline Of 80 to 54 points.
 Liverpool was better than due, but the market here opened barely steady at a decline of 30 to 54 points under overnight selling orders for the south and liquidation by yesterday 8 buyers. There were rallies right aft CT the call, which carried October up te zo.5Oc and January to 20c, or 2 to 10 points net nisner, but this bulge met increased omerlngs accompanIed by reports or less active spot de- mand. The trade buying, whlcn had been such prominent feature on the advance here ourIpg the previous uay, also appeared to check with the markets showing greater sensitive- ness to sellIng orders in conseQuence OctoDer was relatively qulet ana tlrm but sold< off to ly.slc, or 34 points net lower, while January broke to l3.4Oc, or 5S points beiow last nights closing quotation.
 Last prlces were a few points up from the lowest on covering
 Reports that a preliminary official estimate placed the Egyptian crop of this season at only o,44U,0O0 bales, may have been partly responsible tor the tirmness Of Liverpool.
 Of today spot sales ot 10000 bales reported in the English market only 5000 were American. An unusually large proporuon ot the daIly spot sales in Liverpool lately has repre- sented outside growtns, and an acrIve business mas been. reported in Pe- ruvIan cotton, of which Liverpool holds a large stock. 1t Is rumored that ocean freignt room for between 2o,000 and 3O,OU0 bales has been en- gagged for shipments from the local sJock to Japan and Tn addition to thls local spot firm is sald to De pre- pairing 5000 bales for shipment to Liverpool.
 The outlook for cool weather in the southwest seemed to nave little or no effect on the markett, which appeared to be chiefly influenced by the reports of less active spot demand and ap- prehensions that hedges would be sold against spot holdings in the south should it fail to improve in the near future.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON

New Orleans. October 7.-The ten dency in cotton today was lower under what was generally set down as liquidation of long contracts over the weekend. On the first call the more active onthsr-were 1 to points up. but almost immediately the market commenced to sag, and the downward trend was still in evl- dence late in the day when prices were 57 to 6S points under the close net losses of 50 to 65 points. De- cember sold up to o.o4c in the early trading, fell off to .37c toward the end and closed at 19. 43c a pound.
 Better cables than due were re- sponsible for the small opening gains, but the response to Liverpool was only faint hearted, and during the remainder of the day bullish news did no more than steady the market at the decline. Mill takings were large, 249,000 bales for the week, against 190.000 this week last year and 240, 900 this week two years ago, and many reports were received from the interior saying that ginning was nearing completion. Some points in Texas wired in that gins were running only two days week.
 The weather outlook was unfayor- able. owing to the cold wave appear ing from the belt from the north- west. During the day messages from rosjtions of north Texas and Okla homa told, of much lower tempera-

URGENT SELLING HAD DEPRESSING
 EFFECT 0N GRAINS
Wheat, Corn and Oats All Took a Dip, While Provi-
 sionS Weakened With the Grain List
By Associated Press

Chicago, october 7.-Urgent selling based largely on reports of elevator congestion here and in the south and southwest had depressing effect on the wheat market today. Closing l quotations were heavy at 3N to IA cents net lower. with December $1.09is 6D$1 t9% and May s1.13@$1.14. Corn lost %cQ% to 1c and oats 19sc to Pc. In provisions the outcome varied from unchanged figures to S5 cents decline.
 It was during the iast half of the session that the setback in the value of wheat took place Earlier the ten dency was chiefly in favor of higher prices scattered, speculative buying having developed on account of a halt in liquidation and short selling. Later however, support was lacking and with persistent offerings espe- cially from houses with northwestern connections the market rapidly gave way. The bearish gossip current at this juncture included assertions that unless clearances from New Orleans soon increased it would be necessary to put railroad embargo against that port because or probaDle eX- haustion of available storage room there. Elevators here and the south west were also reported as about filled. Under such circumstances the finish was at the lowest prices yet this season
 Corn and oats declined with wheat. Wet weather was somewhat of a check on the downward slide of corn. but oats followed wheat to a new low price record for 1921.
 In provisions the effect of the weakness of grain more than coun- terbalanced higher quotations on hogs.

Weeks s Cotton ReUiew
 Shows Trading Was
 of an Erratic Nature
By BRIGGS
By Associated Press

New York, October line govern ments September croL figures proved the turning point In the weeks cot ton market. The ginning report ot the census bureau issLed at the open ing of the Monday morning session indicated that 2,907,9 959 bales of cot ton had been ginned up to September 90. This looked very heavy as com pared with the popular idea of the crop but the market advanced pretty sharply in spite of this with Decem- Der contracts selling up to 21,96c, or Into new high ground fer the season before the official condition figures were issued. Part of the buying Vn this advance was probably based on expectations that the report would be under 40. and the actual conditiou of 422 as report Il, indicating a crop of 6,537,000 bales, was followed by sensationally heavy selling.
 Since then December has been as low as I9.44c, making a decline of a little over 21a cents per pound from the high level of Monday morn ing and fluctuations toward the end of the week were extremely nervous and irregular,
 Now that the last of the regular monthly crop reports is out of ths way. traders seem more disposed to study the conditions of distribution and a question has been raised as to whether the market could be expect ed to absorb the increasing new crop movement at the higher slevel of prices. Reports of large spot sales in the south on the rallies have contributed to uncertainty Tn this respect. but on Thursdays break to about the 19M cent level for Decem- Der smaller spot offerings were re- ported, while active buying for trade account Is noted around the local ring, presumably to fix prices for foreign and domestic spinners
 The first frost reports of the sea- son have been lceived during the week, but there were only siight frosts at couple of points in the eastern belt. and the trade has seemed comparatively indifferent to further crop news
 A preliminary official estimate Is said to place the Egyptian crop at only 3,440,000 cantars and one of the features of the week has been the relatively large proportion of other than American growths included in the daily spot sales in Liverpool. Mt Is rumored that ocean freight room for about 25000 bales has been en- gagged for shipment of cotton out of the local stock to Japan and that preparations are being made for shipping abdut 5000 bales to Liver pool.
