NEW YORK COTTON.
NEW TORK. Aug. 3 The cotton
market lost moil of yeaterday' ad
vances during today's early trading,
with both October and December con
tracts making new low ground for the
movement. It was consldred evident
that yesterday's government crop re
port had created no bulish sentiment
of importance and after the active cov
ering of yesterday afternoon, there ap
peared to be very little buying power
around the ring early today. On the
contrary there waa reselling by some
of yesterday's buyers and considerable
selling for Southern and Wall fHreet
account, with the market opening 19 to
4," points lower and becoming very
weak later owing to rumors of financial
troubles In Georgia and reports from
Paris that the Polish armistice nego
tiations had been halted. December sold
down to 29.70o and Jan. to 9.i5c with
the more active months showing net
losses of 10 to 91 points.
Liverpool became a good buyer on the
early break and there waa a rather
sharp rally with December selling up
to 30.30c, or about 60 points from the
lowest, continued selling for Wall
street and Southern account checked
the advance at tlitu level and the mar
ket later was less active with fluctua
tions Irregular, prices at midday held
all hut a few points of the rully. how
ever, and there was scattered covering
on reports that showers In the Xoulh
were lauding to increased damage by
boll weevil.
The market showed renewed weak-
noes during the mldafternoon owing to
the fuiiure of demand to broawn on
the late morning rally, the weakness
of sterling exchangu and declines in
the stock market. October broke to
So.SOc and I'ecember fell back to 29 7uc
or 98 to 120 points net lower.
Futures closed easy at decline of 10
to Hi points.
