The cotton market developed a fair de-
gree of steadiness on the opening call'
English cable advices fully meeting eN-
necfations. and early forecasts pointing 70
diminished receipts. At the same time
the weather bulletins showed more OF
less general rains I'm the more centrai
part of the cotton belt. But selling OF
ders were az hand in goodly runners anu
the market opened with prices unchahSeu
10 . higher. Immediately after the call
the market began to weaken uhuer SCI
ing pressure. which became more enei-
getic on the discovery that no ohtSlue
support was being wlthdraWn' be.Vlr
noon there was slight lally on ptl'O,
later cables after which both classes Oh
tod with caution. DuIlUS
the forenoon the market received some
support by buying orders from the Soutn
and Europe. while COMMISSION houses
disposed of May and August contracts,
and replaced with october ana Oen,,
crop positions. The local contingent
either sold with hesitation or bought the
near months. on the idea that the llqul-
dalton of Saturday had cleared the sltud-
ton and made some reaction proD"ple'
Some OF the leading bear traders maze
an effort to undermine certain lons oo ,,1
TON held here. but without success ana
soon withdrew. leaving the market 10
drift. The close was quiet and steady,
