NeU Crop Movement

NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 3.-Prices
in Wednesdays cotton market de-
clihed nearly S. a bale and with the
exception of minor rally were on
the down grade most of the day.
The main depressing influence was
drastic liquidation Of the accumu-
lated long interests due to fears of
a large movement of new cotton
during August. December, which
opened at 1748 after trading up TO
17.72, eased off during most of the
session and made new low right
at the end, closing at 1906, 81 points
below the previous close and 223
points below the high level Of last
week. The general market closed
easy at net losses for the day Of 8S
TO 92 points.
The opening was weak, first
trades showing losses of 80 points
TO AZ points due mainly to poor
cables and more favorable weather
in the belt. The opening loss was
soon increased to 48 points when
October traded to 1925 and Decem-
bcr TO 17.4S.
