NEW YORK COTTON
NEw ORLEANS COTTON

New Orleans, August 6.-The tendency was lower In the cotton market today, al though ohough at ens stage a fairly strong rally SSecareo. S. support was lacking mostly whether the light showers scattered wide : " over Texas really indicated a chance of importanee in the weather conditions of sne western belt the drouth over which mas been buliish factor of oonseouence Tor several days. In the late trading ths tone was rather soft and the close was at net losses of to 10 points. October
 The early trading saw . break of 12 to s2 points, the result of light showers at a lew points in Texas and the feeling that the drouth was about to be broken. When the weather map was drawn and it was seen that no rain of consequence had fallen early sellers commenced to buy their contracts back and their demand was suf- fictently strong to send the most active months to { points higher than the close Of yesterday. October. after trading down to 20.b0c, rose to 10.74.
 AS the market hardened selling in- creased again as the result of claims of a somewhat easier spot basis and telegrams from points in the west saying that of fers of spots to Liverpool. Havre and ing replies.

IRREGULAR AND
 QUIET SESSION
 MFLEECYSTAPLE
B1 AasocLate.l Prera

New York, August b.-Cotton was comparatively quiet and rather irreg- uiar today. but rallies were attrlb- uted chiefly to scattered, covering over the weekend and after selling up from 21.OS to 21.25, December con tracts closed at 2i.i0c. The general market closed barely steady at a net. decline of 1 to IF points.
 The opening was 2 to points lower, and active months sold to l5 points during the early trading with both October and December contracts making new low ground for the movement. Selling was pro- noted by showers in Texas and more favorable conditions in eastern belt sections, while there also seemed to be nervousness over European poIi- tical conditions and German finan- ces.
 At the same time the weather news failed to indicate that there had been any break in the Texas trough except for few showers and there was enough uncertainty over weather conditions there to promote covering for over the weekend. This be. came little more active on the break to 2i.05 for October and 21 for January and then rallies of IS or 20 points from the lowest during the middle of the morning. Local brokers reported little buying except for covering, however, and the mar ket eased off again late in the morn ing on expectations that the official forecast, cloudy to unsettled weather in east Texas, would be followed by more geenraI showers over Sunday.
 Closing prices were within a few points of the lowest on most posi- tions. There was not much comment on weekend reviews of the goods situation, which indicated re- strictcd volume of business, without much change in prices and the atten- ton of the trade seemed to center on European affairs, the domestic labor conditions and weather condi- tfons.
 New England advices were con sidered favorable as to labor con ditions in the textile mills and re- ports that American buyers were canceling coal orders in England were considered as favorable sit- uation to the settlement of the coal strike.
