opened UP to ) points, and fluctuatei in
narrow range all day, closing 2 to . up, after
fairly good trading flagadorn bought 3i00
August at 500, supposed to be long cotton,

warlike outlook. and the belief that peace
full settlement would yet result. Longs were
disposed TO take profits on the bulge and
supplied the demand for cotton. The amount
coming into sight fell about 5000 bales short
of 1926, but as the market had already al-
vanccd this had no further effect upon prices.
There Is little in the market to warrant any
advance further and in the absence of active
buying for speculative account, good spot
demand, prices will sell off some. Weather
and reports of the new crop continue fayora-
