There was activity for these times in
the cotton market this morning. and
there is no explanation of this beyond the
fact that there was some conflict as to
crop advices. A demand to cover fol-
lowed. and after the market had opened
quiet and steady there was an advance
of 2G4 points. August covering was the
feature. Later, however, outside support
failed, and the market dragged and sag
ged until late in the afternoon, when
there was something Of rally, on re-
newed covering. Close steady and to
points net higher.
