NEW ORLEANS, April 16.-tP)-
Lower Liverpool cables than due
and dry weather in the central and
western belts accounted for losses
in first trades on the cotton mar
ket of from 5 to 8 points.
A rally set in after the market
opened with prices advancing 2 to
3 points, but again eased off with
May going down to 1856. July to
1878 and October 1883, or 8 to 10
points under yesterdays close.
After a brief trend downward due
largely to selling on reports OF the
seriousness of the strike among the
Carolina mills, the market rallied
on short coverings in anticipation
of favorable features in President
Hoover's message to congress al
fecting farm relief and tariff.
July went up to 1879 and Oc-
tober to 1854, 5 to 6 points up
from the lows, but again lost after
delivery OF Hoover's message, with
July dropping to 1915 and October
1891

NEW YORK, April 1e.--P-Cot-

to z points. Rains in the eastern
belt were considered u~nfavorable,
but their influence seemed to be Off
set by relatively easy Liverpool ca
bles and better weather forecast.
Further liquidation Of May was abb
sorbed by trade buying on the de-
cline.
Net losses Of s to 9 points we're
showing by the end Of the first half
hour, with July selling at $3.50 and
new October at $19.6S.
Except for further evening up of
near months and transferring Of

General bushes swas quiet, but the
absorption of near month offerings
by the trade gave the market a
fairly steady tone. Prices at mid
day were about 2 to S points net
