fNeW York, May A.-The cotton market
opened steady at a decline Of ld3 points
cables being unsatisfactory and crop ac-
counts generally favorable. Following the
opening call there was some irregularity,
Win further decrease of las points, at
tended by feeble rallies and finished steady
WIN a net decline OF 4n6 points. The I'M
dertone OF the market remains weak, how
ever. Some of to-days crop news was ex-
eepNonally bearish, although to some ex-
tent contradictory. Selling was arrested
by activity in spot cotton, sales Of which
reached 5,72f bales, including 5000 bales for
export and 2,4l5 bales spnners This led
to some covering and steaded the mar
ket for time. but local sentiment was in
cllned TO be bearish in the absence Of
speculative competition for cotton, not
withstanding the increasing strength Of
the statistical positions.
