New York, May 16-Without being par
ticularly active, the market lot coItOn Iu-
tnres was considerably steadier, and aver
aged an advance of several points for the
session. Trading on the call was quiet
with prices unchanged to point higher;
settlers became very conservative later, as
public and private accounts regarding the
crop conditions in the South were quite
bullish
At The best level Of the day the mar
ket showed an advance of 2Gt3 points On
the upward movement there was some in
vestment buying, but business chiefly was
in the way of covering short contracts.
The foreign contingent figured as buyers

good as counted on, but as the foreigners
bought cotton the foreign relation as
whole was one OF the favorable factors Of
the session.

weather summary from Washington re-
ceived a bullish Interpretation and led 10

During the afternoon the situation had
all the characteristics Of waiting mar
ket. the disposition 70 hold off for fur
ther accounts from the cotton belt regard
ing the crop situation being general The
market was finally steady. l 20 points
