NEW YORK COTTON FUTURES NEW YORK, August S.--The market

NEW ORLEANS, August s.-Hopes of a change for the better in weather condi- tions in the western belt extensive liqui- dating sales from the long side and con siderable hedge selling depressed the price of cotton today. holding the market down in the face of unfavorable weekly crop reports. At the lowest the trading months were at losses of 61 to 69 points with October at P ,64c. The close was eS 10 65 points net lower the session, the closing range of sales on October being from 22. to 22.76c. Out of respect to the memory of the late President Harding the market was closed from to 9:45 o'clock during the beginning of the funeral services in Washington.
 Early declines. amounted to 24 to S2 points. cables being poor and the market full of private reports of rain overnight In Oklahoma. Expectations of unfavorable weekly crop reports has stiffened the mar ket somewhat and caused recovery back to within to 12 points of yesterday 8 close. October trading up to 2S ZIG This was the high of the day. The weekly re- ports were as unfavorable as expected. but had little effect. Private reports of further rains in Oklahoma and few points In Texas, together with the ap- parently almost general idea that Texas was likely to get relief from its dry and hot spell began to dominate the market and remained in control to the close, which was officially toned easy.
 Selling was increased to a material ex- tent by reports from Berlin, received here In private messages. that it had been stat ed in he Reichstag that passive resistance In the Ruhr would continue. This, coupled with the continued fall in the price Of the mark, was regarded as highly unfavorabe and as against d German demand for cot ton for fall shipment.

STEWARTS LETTER

BIRMINGHAM Ala, August s-Iiver- pool quotations came over 12 points below due with fairly good sales of 5000 bales at decline of 15 points in their spot prices. Manchester cabled business in yarns and goods fairly good but political feeling pessllnistic. Our markets opened 15 points lower than Tuesdays close and ruled under pressure most of the entire day It showed the absence of a short interest shorts having covered freely on yesterdays rise and the decline today was probably on profit taking and profess sional selling on reports of showers in eastern Oklahoma and it found little sup port on it's way The finals were so to 50 points decline for the day. Spots were quiet and generally followed the decline in futures southern spot markets sold only 2,S00 bales yesterday. Aside from the Oklahoma rains the crop situation in the southwest was practically unchanged, 21 stations in Texas and all in Oklahoma showed 100 or over yesterday. The only Oklahoma point on the official details showing precipitation was Muskogee half an inch. There was really nothing in the way of real relief. Fear of trouble in Germany over the collapse of the mark caused some selling in the afternoon. Busi- ness generally seems to be picking up, North street was active The market has probably discounted the situation to date and may be a nervous trading affair awaiting further developments.-S s.

If the carry-over had been any where near normal this year it probably would mark the continuation of the ad- vance because we are rapidly approach Ing the time when the movement In Texas will be very heavy. So far the amount of interest aroused. from mill centers has been very disappointing. largely due to the fact that the dry goods market has not responded proportionatey to the cotton are using this opportunity of slightly better cloth market to liuuidate some goods that they have run into stock dur ing the summer and which they previous remains to be seen whether the deteriora- ton in the Texas crop will be enough to offset the movement which is bound to be- come heavy as the result of premature opening We expect this movement to be- come of considerable volume during the latter part of next week It should be borne in mind that the contract market usually anticipates in advance coming events so that 1t might be quite in order for our market to hesitate and possibly heavy. It must not be forgotten on the other hand, however. that the weather conditions have been most unfavOrable and the crop continues to deteriorate very rapidly. situation which after the early movement is out of the way can easily cause a further advance if trade condi- tions should warrant it. In the meantime however, we feel that We may have to ab- sorb this movement before We can have permanently better prices.

COTTON RALLIES FAIL TO RESULT
 IN NEW BUYING

NEW YORK, August S.-Unfavor- able crop advices caused rallies from an early decline In the cotton mar ket today but failed to stimulate renewal of general buying and prices we11 generally lower After selling off to 2355c shortly after the open ing, December rallied to 23.S4c, but later broke to 23.15c and closed at 2334c. The general market closed barely steady at net declines Of 10 to 55 points.
 The market opened easy at a de- cline of r to 21 points and the ac- tive positions sold some 20 to 3o points below yesterdays closing quotations during the early trading. There were private reports of show CTS at couple of points in Texas which probably encouraged selling on the relatively easy showing of the Liverpool cables and less favorable view of the European situation. This decline was checked by covering after the posting of the weather map which showed no material change in condi- tions ovc-- the belt and the demand became little more active following the weekly report of the weather bureau which indicated that the week had been generally unfavorable. There Was covering by early sellers on the rally which carried October up to 23S8c and January to 23.60c around midday or back to nearly yesterdays closing quotations, but the demand soon tapered off and the market weakened during the early after noon. Private reports of rains in Oklahoma and rumors of showers in Texas may have accounted for part of the selling on the break. The late weather advises were none or less conflicting, however, and traders quite as generally attributed the fail ure of recent crop news to nor ma terially stimulate demand for cotton goods and the easier technical posi- tion of futures. october sold off to 2322c and January to 23.00c, making net declines of about GA to 70 points on the general list. Closing prices were 15 to 19 points up from the lowest on covering. Trading was suspended from to 11;45 o'clock out of respect to the memory of President Harding. Port receipts to- day 1915. United States port stocks 16S, oY2. Exports 1896, making 39,- SIS so far this season.

CHANGE N PRICES NOT REGARDED AS VERY CONCLUSIVE

NEW YORK, August S.-Heavy selling of leather and shipping shares and few specialties because of poor trade conditions led tl Withdrawal of buying support by short interests in todays stock mar ket and brought about a sharp re- cession of prices after an early iu- terval of moderate strength. In view of the absence of a number of large traders because Cf the 90-min- ute suspension of business today and the Friday holiday, price changes generally were not regarded as very conclusive.
 Considerable short selling devel- oped in the leather group with the result that Central Leather common and preferred and American Hide and Leather preferred Dropped to new low records for the year, the net loss in each case being about 2 E points. International Mercantile Ma rine common and preferred. Amer ican International Corporations, Hl:rns Brothers A, and Allied Chem ical and Dye also touched new lows. Selling of Allied Chemical was predicated on the loss of that com panys suit to stop the steel and tube merger as a result Cf which it is re ported the company will receive only $l5 a share for its steel and tube common, which is said to have cost the company about $40 share. Baldwin. which had been selling around $1.14 in the morning trading, dropped back to $1.1124 for a net loss of 3s on the day. United States Steel, Pan-American E, American bo- cCmotive, Studebaker. American Can and Anaconda also closed i to points below yesterdays final prices. Eastman Kodak broke 1 points on omission of the extra dividend of 75 cents a share, which had been de- clared in the two previous quarters. Rails offered better resistance to selling pressure. the average of 20 leading stL cks showing a net loss of about 1a a point on the day.
 The government crop report is sued after the close of the market yesterday was nterprete% by the grain trade as bullish, but it reported only moderate response in the same commodity markets.
 Foreign exchanges were again heavy. French and Belgian francs and German marks established new low records for the Ye;S. Demand sterling held fairly steady just above s4.56.
 Call money held at "A per cent all day. The time money and conner cial paper rates were unchanged with business quiet.
