On the strength OF a better class OF
cable news than had been looked for, and
the reports Of extremely hot weather,
reinforced by claims Of injury In tho
Southwest. as the result Of drought. the
cotton market opened quiet. at an adj
vance OF 2fi3 points, and further advanced
ld2 points. without, however. developing
much outside speculative interest. Tho
smaller shorts covered early In the fore
noon, while houses with foreign connec-
lions appeared to be trading on both
sides Of the market in a moderate way.
Liquidation OF long accounts stopped the
advance. But the bears were cautious
and sold bur little, while the market fell
SAL points from the top prices Tho
market was finally steady. with prices
net unchanged 10 l point higher.
