TRADING MARKET
 RULED IN COTTON
 DURING PAST WEEK
Attempt to Curb the Futures Markets Were All the More
 Discerning
By Associated Press

New Orleans, July 24.--A trading market ruled in cotton this week, fluctuation being q series of small re- sessions and upturns, quickly fol- lowing each other, with the down ward movements more pronounced than the upward movements, al though none of the price movements was prolonged. Ih the early part of the week prices were to 90 points higher than the close of the preced- ing week, with October trading as high as 12.72c. Later there was a drop to levels A to 47 points under the close of the bleeding week with October off to 1214c. From the highest to the lowest there was a drop of 52 to 75 points. On the close the market showed net losses for the week of 3s to 46 points, with October at 12.17c. In the spot market mid ding lost 13 points in the net results. closing at 11.75c. year ago mid ding closed at 39.75c.
 For the downturns, less activity in the spot department. apparently consequent upon the filling of July commitments, was responsible in some measure, although on the end of the week some of the selling could be traced to the renewal at Washington of agitation for anti futures trading legislation, fairlygf fa- vorable weather over a good part of the belt, uncertainty over the pend ing July report on condition of the crop and unfavorable items in re- views of trade in general for the week caused more or less selling With the market was the easier money market in this country and in England, the reduction to 5lA per cent of the Bank of England rate and of the discount rates of important developments. The plans for exten- sive financing of cotton announced by the federal reserve board and the war finance cooperation were con sidered highly bullish.
 The new attempts to bring about legislation against futures trading were all the more disconcerning to che market because it was not un- derstood here how present plans for financing cotton could be carried out were the futures market interfered with, since most cotton loans are made against lots that are protected by heuges In the future market. It was held here that anything that would destroy or disarrange hedges against actual cotton against which loans had been made would be disas- trous to spot owners and to lenders.
 This following week the main fea- ture of the market is expected by traders to be percentage of the crop on July 25, that date ending the July condition period. There is more than the usual difference of opinion regarding what to expect from the government In it's report which Is due Monday, August 1.
