# NEW ORLEANS COTTON.
New Orleans, Sept. 27.-Wide declines were made by cotton today under selling stimulated by Secretary Houston's statement regarding the financing of commodities for owners who desired to keep them off the market, which was considered highly unfavorable to the holding movement inaugurated by cotton growers. Cables were poor and increased the offerings. At the end of the first hour of trading prices were 75 to 127 points under the close of Saturday. October traded down to 22.50c and March to 20.64c.
Reports of much lower prices for spots in the interior swelled offerings still further and the market turned very weak under the report that some Boston banks were requiring ninety days' notice for withdrawals from savings deposits. The trading months were sent to levels 111 to 172 points under the close of last week, October touching 22.05c and March 20,32c. Late in the morning the decline was checkea by the storm warning because of a disturbance in the east central Gulf of Mexico and because of reports from Texas that many farmers were discharging their pickers.
