NEW YORK. Aug. 8-R)-Cotton
futures broke Sc a bale today I'M
der heavy liquidation, influenced
by a larger than expected govern
ment cotton crop forecast. but re-
covered partially in later deal
ings on short covering and closed
with losses of $4.45 to $4.65 a bale.
The Department of Agriculture
estimated the 1947 cotton crop at
II, 844, 900 bales, an increase Of
5000, 900 bales over the 1916 crop
and more than 300, 900 bales larger
than average trade estimates.
Trading sentiment veered from
the, idea of continued tight cotton
supplies to a moderate improve
ment in carryover stocks by the
end of the current season, in the
face of a prospective decline in
both consumption and exports.
There was some hedge selling in
evidence. Traders felt mills would
not press for spot cotton, with a
likelihood that hedging in the fu-
lures market against the new crop
movement would consequently be
heavier than previously expectd.
Futures closed $4.45 to 4.65 a
bale lower than the previous close.

NEW YORK, Aug. 8. - B -
Stocks generally turned downward
in today's market with amuse-
ments, rails and assorted INDUS
trials suffering their most severe
losses in several weeks although
exceptional pressure was lacking.
Offerings were attributed partly
to the British and European situa-
tons threatening United States ex-
ports. Growing doubts regarding
business on the home front and
fears that the price-wave spiral
will result in an economic relapse
in the long run. Films were hit by
the stiff United Kingdoms tax on
American productions which re-
suited in companies here hating
