NEW YORK COTTON FUTURES Ar...l N..r1- Nro,.an,a he 9 -l'nttnn future
NEW ORLEANS COTTON

New Orleans November 27.-Declines Of s4 bale and more the most active months featured the trading in cotton today the pressure coming mainly from the selling out of long contracts. Heavy liqudation in evidence on the open ing and the report that it came from large traders had the effect of including a steady stream of lauidating orders from smaller longs during nearly the whole ses- sion. Toward the end there was much less pressure and the tone was distinctly steadier. At the lowest. the trading months were Ss to s4 points under the last quotat tions Of last week. while the close was at net losses of 62 to 7S points. Jan uary sold off to 24.46c and closed at 2t.57c a pound.
 The poor Liverpool had much to do with opening the market at the decline. but before the opening call was over heavy liquida tion was felt. Considerable selling appeared to be at first induced by pri- vate crop estimate of 10,049.o00 bales. but this was lost sight of when it was ex- plained that this estimate was in terms Of 500-pound bales, really meaning about 9.700. 900 running bales, the terms of meas ure generally employed. Small recoveries followed this explanation but recoyeries were not wide at any stage of the session. not even following the posting of the daily statistics which counted the exports at 53.SSs bales. bringing the total movement thus far this week up to 79,ol4.
