NEW YORK. July 24.-(Special)- )-Con- tinued selling of long Julys brought an other break on the opening this morning. after which the market rallied to around last nights closing prices, only to again sell off on reports of very much easier basis in Texas, where it is more advan- tageous to buy cotton for July delivery from the crop than it Is to take up tenders in New York. This weakening of the new near position naturally has had an unfavorable effect sentiment, so that those who bought this morning on the idea that a substantial reaction was in order sold out their cotton in the after noon.
 The weather is clear and warm again in Texas and cloudy in the Atlantic states. The latter situation should be watched very closely this is exactly the kind of should develop into a continuation over any long period of time, great damage might result from the weevil. It must not be forgotten that we are approaching the time when that pest does it's greatest harm. There was not much trade buy ing on the decline today as yesterday, as evidently the failure of the market to rally has driven these buyers from the market. Sentiment is mixed as the trade here recognizes the possibilities of weeVil damage, and that we are approaching the most critical time in this respect; but on the other hand they do not like the free offerings of spots, and the continued break in the basis in Texas, as they do not feel that the contract market can advance long this undermining in fluence continues.

Our markets opened 10 to 15 points lower than yes terday's close on the new crops and was again under pressure during most of the session Overnight liquidation through houses and liquidation during the day on advices sent out together with considera ble hedge selling by spot houses in the eastern cotton belt caused the de- cline in cotton today. The bulk of con tracts sold were apparently absorbed by shorts covering. although considerable was taken on open orders for the cotton trade.

There was considerable profit talk ing In the last hour that rallied prices to final of 30 points from the days low and 20 poiIrs under the previous close. Spots quiet and quotations unchanged to 75 points lower, price rang ing from 23,15c at Dallas to 25.50c at Memphis The weather was clear and high temperatures reported from Okla homa and Texas Gossip in reference to the decline yesterday and today charges it more to the dullness in the cotton mills than to rain in Texas.

 NEW YORK, July 24.-Relative success of selling of the oils and some of the rails influenced trading sentiment today to such an extent that recesSions were quite general throughout the whole list. It was noticeable that the volume of trad ing did not iincrease appreciably when the market became weak nor was there any apparent increase in buying. The i'm pression which the market gives Is that it is purely a trading affair with pro- fessional sentiment quite evenly divided. Bearishness is a little more in the open than 1t has been for the past ten days but the impression made upon the price level by the selling today Is not pro nounced enough to make us believe that
