The market for cotton futures. after
opening easy. at decline OF points,
worked within narrow range OF changes.
For a time business was very active.
with liquidation the principal feature,
following unsatisfactory cable accounts.
the small sales Of spot cotton i'm Liver
pool being IN particular disappointing
feature. The weakness was increased
by claims OF beneficial rain in the South
west. Official forecasts failed 10 indi-
cate any general break i'm the Southwest
drought. while the weather statistics
there confined the rainfall to little more
than an inch at LOngview. Following
these indications, the market made feeble
rallies. but the upward movement was
held I'm check by the unusually large re-
ceipts In the South. a steadier feeling
prevailed in the afternoon, on a scattered
demand, which came chiefly from local
shorts. The last few minutes witnessed
a sharp upturn. on a sudden scramble of
lesser interests i'm shorts 10 cover started
by an almost total absence Of offerings.
The close was firm, with prices 2a5 points
net lower.
