NEW YORK COTTON

NEW ORLEANS COTTON FUTURES | NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 25-The cot ton market was a decidedly active af- fair today, and although there was a fair advance at the start. prices soon weakened under rather heavy selling pressure and continued to decline with intermittent rallies practically to the close. The early advance carried May up to 30.20c and July to 29.42c or 34 to 37 points higher than the previous close, and the subsequent reaction caused May to trade as low as 29.19c and July at 28.52c or 90 to 101 points down from the early high. There was slight rally at the close, but the net loss for the day reached 51 to 56 points on the old crop months. While October gained 37 points over Saturday at the start, it experienced a decline of only AT points, and at the close was only T points net lower for the day. s rS+p
 The stimulating influence at the start included better Liverpool cables than due and large spot sales of 14000 bales, of which 12,800 bales were American. The increased demand for spots was demand for export from Germany. Re. ports of very bad weather in the west trn half of the belt was a further stim- ulating influence as was also the claim that the 4,000 bales of March notices circulated locally had all been stopped.
 Later in the morning the market turned decidedly casters and prices de- clined steadily mainly owing to a re- port from New York that notices for S0,0O0 bales for delivery on March con- tracts would be issued in that market tomorrow. There was also persistent selling during the day of old crop months and transferring to October with the result that while May and July declined rapidly, October held above the previous close until near the end and then only lost a compara- lively few points.
 There was promising attempt at a rally during the afternoon on a report from Washington to the effect that it was said that the government would revise it's supply statistics bullishly later in the day, but the recovery fail ed to hold and the market closed near the lowest.
