| The cotton market was less active ~
| day. The first cali developed a weak feel
| ing. with prices points higher to points
! lower. Later. the general market showed
| a general decline OF &f5 points, 1iquida-
| ton being the cause Of the unsatisfactory
! cables and lack OF outside speculative
/ support. The market rallied partially
later on unsatisfactory weather condi-
| lions in the cotton belt, II being feared
| fact that the weather continues very hot
| I'm Texas as well as In other parts OF the
| Southwest added TO the apprehensions OF
! the bear contingent. in connection with
! the fact that no rains are Indicated by
| the government forecast During the at
| ternoon comparative little business was
done. but the market was quite STEADY.
| Late in the session some selling was done
| for short account on the theory that tho
| higher prices ruling for cotton would
| stimulate an early movement OF the new
| crop and that the influence or receipts
| would be to keep spot buyers from an,ici-
pating their wants to any great extent,
