 pv Aaaaeiated Presa


 New Orleans, October l.-After making advances of 9 to 12 points in the early trading today the cot ton market softened under Hqulda- ton of long contracts and new sell ing for short account, together with some little hedge selling, and fell to net declines which, toward the close, amounted to 21 to 26 points Last prices were at net losses of 20 to 26 points December traded up to 20.55c. fell off to 20.25c and closed at 20.26c pound.
 The opening gains were due to local. condition report of 3s.5 per cent of normal, indicating a crop or 6.150O, 900 bales and to what were considered highly favorable weekly reviews of trade in general Liquloa tiop almost immediately set in and IL commenced to weigh against values as the session grew older there was much talk of large ginning returns in the report due from the census bureau Monday. and this brought Tn additional selling.
 Weather conditions were considered unfavorable too much rains being re- ported east of the Mississippi river, but the weather map had only pass ing effect. Interior points continued to wire in that picking was finished here and there and this served to strengthen the disposition to look for heavy ginning. Late in the session claims were heard that the ginning report was likely to show as much as 3.50O. .0O0 bales turned out to Sep tember 25.

 Wheat opened weak and with bear ish sentiment strengthened by the few news factors and encouraged by absence of outside support, Nothing that the few longs could do had any effect on the market. Every bulge brought out increased pressure and numerous stop loss orders were uncovered.
 Breaks at Winnipeg. caused by hedging, declines of around DC in cash wheat at Minneapolis and slow export demand, coupled with report that Q New York interest bought 20,- 900 barrels of Canadian flour this week combined to break the resist enee of some of tho most stubborn longs May wheat made R new low record on the crop. Hedge sales, scattered liquidation and the state of the wheat market caused the break in corn and oats were weaker and lower in sympathy with the other grains.
 In provisions nearby were under pressure, but deferred deliveries held fairly strong in the face of the gen eral market conditions Deliveries on october contracts included 7,700,ooO pounds of lard, and 750 000 pounds of ribs.

There has also been tt better inquiry for soft steel bars and the general trend of prices is higher, as the Hqui- dation of stocks is now nearly com pleted. Eastern plate mills report the best bookings of the year. There Is also.a fairly good volume of busi- ness in pig Iron. especially with heat Ing equipment and textile machinery manufacturers. Consumers are show ing considerably more interest in the market.
 In copper there has been a decided improvement in demand. Producing g interests estimate sales for domes- tic consumption at between 10.000.000 and i5.0O0.000 ounds. In normal times this would be considered no better than moderate business, but the buying has made sellers more cautious and has strengthened the position of larger producers, who say they have no copper for sale below the 121ac level for prompt shipment. and are asking slight advances for forward delivery. In the export de- partmeht sales by the copper export association have been reported to Ger many at prices ranging from 12ss sc to 1924 c. i. f. Hamburg. Great Britain has not been buying freely, but some copper has been sold to Japan and China.
