New York May 20.Trade in cotton III.
lures was small today Tho opening WAS
fairly active. Prices improved several
points on local covering and foreign buyers
started by more encouraging reports from
the Liverpool market than predicted and
complaints OF bad stands In number of
parts OF the cotton belt, Wall street and
New Orleans sold quite freely for time on
better southwestern crop reports. Specu-
lation fell OF sharply later in the forenoon
and for the balance of the session traders
were scattered with the tendency of prices
downward under lack OF speculative inter-
est. The market clos ed quiet with prices
unchanged to points net higher. Total
sales, $4,000.
