With the shadow of the new crop looming large the country is be ginning to offer freely in a field thus far devoid of purchasing power. The generally unsatisfactory condition of the. goods trade, and the firm faith of spinners In a. superabundant crop, to be had at. cheaper prices later In the season, has practically denuded the market of buying orders and sellers now find it necessary to make very material consesslons in order to move what' little stocks they have remain ing over from last season's produc tion, with new cotton coming In the market will take on a show of life, but, as matters stand, a lower levey oi values is inevitable, v With,- the government , issuing bearish reports through its weather bureau, Liverpool forcing sales of spots, 92 per cent of the master spinners of Manchester voting short time for the Lancashire mills and the steady development of a mlstic sentiment as to prices at both New Orleans and New York, the mar ket for contracts opened down 7 to 10 points today, and during the fore noon, though occasional slight fluc tuations Interrupted the general trend of prices moved to still lower levels, the figures on second call showing net losses of 10 to 15 points on the several months.
