The cotton market made a good start,
but subsequently eased Off. with trading
considerably less active than for period
Of over two weeks. yet the news was
generally Of bullish purpOrt. Strong Eng
lish cables were largely responsible for
an advance OF TO 6 points at the opening.
other factors contributing 10 the better
ruling OF the market were the discour-
aging weather reports from nearly al
a very light movement at both ports ana
interior towns. and continued gratifying
accounts from New England and the cloth
markets The readiness with which wheat
responded TO selling pressure. and the ir-
regular ruling Of stocks recently, TO-
gcther with yesterdays bad slump In cot
ton tended 10 unnerve good many mold
ers. and after the incidental response 10
the foreign news the local market grad
ually gave way under realizing sales. Ire
selling pressure acted as an incentive 10
leading bears. and at their pounding rea-
lizing was quite freely INDUCED in.
4 notable feature of the days business
was the appearance as sellers Of several
prominent local houses. who were con-
sidered to have changed from bearlsh
TO a bullish faith. az about the highest
point Of the recent rise. But while the
later phaees Of the market We're unsdtis-
factory 10 the friends II cotton, the sta
tistical situation and general outlook
were fully as bullish as az any time thus
far this season \ few Wall-street firms
were seen 10 be resisting any reaction
and absorbed large blocks Of the May
and August deliveries. New Orleans was
q buyer early in the day. but sold on the
break. Liverpool, except for scattered
buving around the opening. was per-
sistent seller. The market closed steady
at a net loss Of ga points.
