New York. May Californian & Co. say
Of cotton: Some improvement in Liver
pool, combined with substantial support
given ito the market by the leading bull
operators, lifted prices a few points to-
day. August opened at S.14c, and, after
losing a point, rallied to S.16c, then reacted
and closed at S.14c bid, with the tone
steady. The incipient drought in South
Carolina is reported broken and rains are
predicted by the weather bureau for to-
night in the Carolinas and Georgia. From
all other sections of the cotton belt the
crop prospects are brilliant. The covering
OF shorts now going on from day to day
lends an important prop to the market,
and we feel satisfied that the good crop
accounts must soon make their influence
