New York, June 2.-The scope of huctu-
ATOMS in the local cotton market was mar
e." to-day with speculation restricted
CHIEFLY to the options of leading bears. The
tendency Of the market at the start was
downward under the liquidation and some
foreign selling, inspired by bearish crop
news and very Unsatisfactory reports from
the English cotton market Later, how
ever the loss was recovered on light local
covering, shorts being driven in by re-
ports that rain was badly needed in Ala
nama and Georgia, and that the plant in
-North Carolina was suffering from too
much moisture. Another factor which
made bears cautious was the stiffening
condition Of the Fan River print cloth
market. The close was duh, with prices
Gun and unchanged TO / point~net lower.
Total sales of futures were 81, 200 bales.
