New Orleans, June 19.-Wide de clines were made by cotton this last week and prices went to now low levels for the season in all months in the contract market and to the lowest of the season for middling in the spot department. Liquidation of long contracts was the main factor back of the declines and much of this liquidation was prompted by the near ness of the first notice day for July and the fear that it will bring large tenders. Some selling was due to the continued unsettled labor conditions in Great Britain and to the uncertainty atteding the voting of the proposition to end the coal strike. Lowest levels came on Friday when the trading months were 131 to 138 points under the close of the preceding week with July off to 10.51 and October off to 11.28. From the 'highest to the lowest levels there was a drop of 139 to 149 points and the close showed net loss es of los to 111 points with July at 10.77. In the net results in the spot market. middling lost 63 points, clos ing at 10.75, the lowest price of the week and the season. Prices reached in the future mar ket were the lowest since the early stages of the World War. The clean ing out of the long interest in con tracts was prect:.itated by the con stant increase in rhe certificated stock in this market. which gave rise to talk that July tenders would be very heavy. At the end of the week the certificated stock here amounted to 74,578 bales, the largest certificated stock :n years. The total stock held here on the w'eek end was h..211 bales, of whichi it was estimated that about 75 per cent. was tenderable cotton. Some ;raders traced the slumpi that carried the market off to new low levels !-ack to the reports on Wednesday from the cenisis bureau showing that out of stocks 3,'474.474 bales of cotton hold in the public warehouses in this coun try only 117t,23 bales. or 24 poer c-nt were untend(rable.

Liverpool, England, June 13.-The point chiefly emphasized at the open ing of the world cotton conference here today was that the .present glut in raw cotton is a temporary condi tion and that the return to normal will demand greatly increased produc tion. In this connection Richard I. Man ning, former goveror of South Caro lina, speaking for the American dele gation, said there was no limit to America's capacity to supply raw ma terial provided it was done on a just and profitable basis. He added that it was their duty to solve the new eco nomic problems in the same spirit of determination and cooperatign which EWngland and the United States had shown during the war. 'David Coker, South Carolina, said there was still lamentable ignorance of scientific methods of production among American farmers and educa tion was badly seeded. The first es sential, however, was to abolish the labor conditions prevailing in the Sout!h, which left the laborer in dire poverty, and bringing back the prrice of cotton to a profit level.
