points POI, higher to points lower. Later
cline of 3G,5 points. Liquidation being the
cause of tho unsatisfactory cables and
lack OF outside speculative support. The
market rallied partially later on salts
factory weather conditions in the cotton
belt. II being feared that insufficient rain
had fallen.
The fact that the weather IN Texas con-
tinues very hot. as well as in other parts
OF the Southwest. added 10 the apprehcn-
sionS or the bear contingent In conncc-
tton with the fact that no rains are In
dicnted by the government forecast,
During the afternoon comparative little
business was done hut market continued
quite steady. Late in the session some
selling was done for short account on
theory that higher prices ruling for cot
oil inc new c;op, and that the influence of
receipts would he TO keep out spot buyers
from anticipating their wants to any
great extent. thus leading TO stock ac-
cumuations. An element in the conf
dence OF the bulls is the favorable conGi-
ton OF the cotton goods market. and tho
outlook for an exceptional consumption of
