An other decline, however, took place shortly before the close, final figures being at only small changes from Tuesdays close.
 New York October contracts closed today at 21,04 cents, one point up and December at 2105 cents, four points higher. New Orleans October closed 19 points net lower at 20.5t cents, December II points down at 20,75 cents and January one point I'D at 20,G4 cents.

 On the local market prices today averaged about a half-cent higher than yesterday. Most of the rid ding cotton was bringing 23 cnts, a few bales fraction higher and some little lower.
 The cottonseed market here, after being unsettled for several days, is reported steady today at $32 ton. A local fight last week resulted in as high as $40 per ton being faia for few loads. On Monday most of the buyers had their limit reduced to $32 per ton, but a few continued to pay up to $35 Monday and Tuesday. To- day it was stated that all buyers are down to $32 per ton.
