NEW ORLEANS Feb. 2S.--Selling pres sure in a moderate way was felt by cot ton today and prices were depressed under the level of yesterdays close practically throughout the session. Heaviest pressure was met in the late trading, when the list of trading months was sent IS to 3l poins under yesterdays final prices; the close was 16 to S1 points under, May fell off 60 29 95c and closed at 29 4Sc; October trad ed as low as 39c and closed at that price.
 Liquidation of the long account seemed to furnish the bulk of the offerings. In the early trading the market here was af- fected by a poor Liverpool and by further talk from Lancashire or organized half time during March. Liquidation from the long side was encountered in the earliest stages of the session, but for a while the tone was held steady by complaints of too much rain in Texas and the decline was very gradual. First losses amounted to + to 19 points. Toward noon there was a rally and during the trading of the mid, dle session old crop months were to g points higher than yesterdays close, with May up to 9.73c. October came back to within 1 point of yesterdays close. In the later trading liquidation increased again.
 The interior continued to report strong spot demand and this prevented. for a considerable period, any declines Of con. sequence. Locally spots were raised Is points to the new high price for the sea son on middling of 30 13c a pound.

BIRMINGHAM. Feb. 2s.-Liverpool sent over lower quotations and were early sell CTS in our markets. Manchester cabled bearish news. intimating that there may be shut downs in cotton mills at early date. Our opening averaged about un- changed from the finals of Tuesday and ruled quiet but steady during the day un- til the last hour. when there was enough selling. said to be by large southwest ern spot house. to depress values to a closing of 20 points loss for the day Spots were generally IS points higher at New Orleans to 15 down at the Texas points. Reports from the southern points stated good demand and sales easily made at soc. Trade in futures were of moderate vol tune. Wall street being the best buyer. The May options were very nervous and quick to respond to any trading that looked to be for the interests prominent in that position. There was no particular cot ton news. European rumors of improved political conditions were not confirmed. South Carolina mill advised of the sales of couple million yards of goods at high prices Worth street was firm but small sales made. No important decline is likely as long as May is so firmly held and the demand for spots continue.
