COTTON LOSES |. ONLY 97 POINTS
 DURING WEEK
Market Characterized By Broad Fluctuations
 And Active Trading

NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 10.--Con- stant and broad fluctuations and ac- tive trading characterized the cotton market last week. Despite the wide range of fluctuations, however, the net result for the week was decline com pared with the close of the previous week, of only 97 points on October, the most active trading month.
 In the first part of the week, the market was influenced towards lower levels by reports of rains in north Texas and also in the western part of that state, as well as in Oklahoma. There reports lacked official confirma- ton, however, and advices of increas- ing deterioration of the crop in the western states as well as in Louisiana and parts of Mississippi induced enough speculative buying as well as short cov- erfngs to advance the October position to 27.97c on Wednesday.
 Uncertainty as to what the govern ment' condition report and crop forecast might be served to countefact in some measure the tendency of prices to i'm prove drouth reports and on the more favorable prospect for satisfactor. outcome of the London conference O the Dawes plan to settle the German reparations problem.

New York Seen As The Worlds Most Attract

lRx The Associated Pressl

NEW YORK, Aug. 10-Reduction of the New York Federal Reserve banks redicsount rate to 8 per cent, the low est of any central bank in the world, last week reviewed the Tagging support of bond market and stimulated sharp rallies in all classes of securities.
 In the case of foreign obligations the change in the rate merely accentuated an advance which already had carried most European issues to record high levels for the year. The firm founda- tion laid in the Inter-a1lied conference tor execution of the Dawes plan, proba- ble evacuation of the Ruhr and flOta- tion of an international loan to Ger many promoted heavy accumulation of all French and Belgian bonds. Gains for the week ranged from two to six points. Austrian, Serbian, Hungarian and other continental issues also at- tained new peak prices.
 Most Attractive Mart
 International significance of the lowered bank Srate, bankers asserted, would be the establishment of New York as the most attractive market in the world for foreign borrowers. Through it's effect on the bond market the reduction was seen as a boon to foreign financing, particularly the forthcoming German loan.
 Striking testimony to the strength of the current investment market was offered last week when the sale of $20,000,000 Argentine six months five per cent notes on 3B per cent basis established record low rate for short term borrowing by a foreign govern ment. Proceeds from the sale will re- fund a $20,000,000 issue maturing on August 25.
 The response of United States gov ernment bonds to the cut in the re- discount rate was immediate, prices bounding up rapidly after the an-

on August l.. or deterioration of II points from the previous report of July 16, the price of October imme- diately jumped to 28.25c, a gain of 75 points from the figure ruling just be- fore the report was issued. When the indicated crop was announced as 12,- 351 900 bales, exclusive of linters, how ever, there was a revulsion of senti- ment and prices rapidly declined until October traded as low as 26.4Oc, and on Saturday fell to 26.10c, or 215 points down from the. high point. of the proceeding day.
 While the market had good rally from the low point before the close Saturday, trade sentiment appeared to have become more bearish than it was on the theory that the small damage done by the boil weevil this season ensures a fairly good crop with reason able weather from now on.
