COTTON PRICES
 WERE DEPRESSED
 DURING THE WEEK
Poor Reports From Liverpool
 and a Quiet Spot Market i. Were Main Factors Il Against Values
By Associated Press

New Orleans, July S1.-Priees were depressed in the cotton market this week from the opening. standing T to 20 points under the close of the preceding week at their highest and ss to 94 points under at their lowest On the close the trading months were at net losses of q to 51 points. Oo- tebsr traded at 12,1oo, at its highest level. fell off to 11.s3c and closed at 11.Sso. In the spot department mid ding lost 75 points in the net re- suits, closing at 11o. against sS.T6o year ago.
 i Poor trade reports from Liverpool and Manchester and the quiet in the spot markets of this country were the main factors against values For awhile the more favorable weather over the bolt caused selling, but is was finally quite generally conceded that the stage had been set In the belt for the usual August deterioration and that this deterio- ration might be all the more severe i because of tho comparatively slight July deterioration. as Indicated In most private bureau reports on the GTOp- 4OWdTQ tnc 6Ho Ol lH6 WotA q covering movement set in among shorts and they caused steadiness and partial reooveries from the low est lsvela-
 BuIIish Showing
 This covering was induced by gen. erRl expectations of a rather bullish showing bureau reports due Monday. The week was punctuated with pri- vate bureau reports of tho crop and reports ranged from 66.1 up to 70.B, with indicated crop figures running from s,5oo.00o up to s,S8o, 900. At tho and of the week 1t looked as If traders expected a report from the government of around s7.6 to 6S. in- dicating crop of around S,B00,000 bales. Feeling was more bullish re 9arding the size of the indicated crop than regarding the percentage of condition and most traders seemed willing to regard 8.500,0o0 bales as buliiSh in spite of the fact that 1t was larger than the indicated crop on June aB, when the figures were s.45s,Oo0 bales. The report from the government Is due at 10 o'clock, New Orleans time, Monday morning. and will compare with 69.2 on June 25 of this year, TAI on July 25 of last year and the 1o-year-average for July 35 of TS-<. The average variation for the last 10 years during the July con- dftion period has loss of 4.S points.
 Hesterss Report
 The annual report of H. c. Hester secretary of the New Orleans cotton exchange, is due Monday and will contain statistics for which the trade has been eagerly waiting for months past. This applies particularly to the item of the carry over, regarding which there Is much dispute. The average trader looks for a carryover of about a,50O,ooo bales of American cotton and anything over that figure ts likely to cause selling while any thing under is likely to cause buying. The figures on the commercial crop tor tho year just ending, and on mill takinss. exports and consumption will be statistics of great trade in- terests.
