New York, May 2.--The cotton market
started quiet and easy with prices un-
changed to points lower and soon develop
ed weakness under liquidation of summer
months and light foreign selling of the new
crop, this pressure sending prices off to
a net loss of as points. The weakness
was due 20 number Of causes, but more
particularly TO reports that showers mad
greatly benefited cotton in the Southwest
Supplementing this news were foreca SITS
for more extended rains in the cotton belt
and reports Of satisfactory progress in the
growth of the plant in the Southern sec
tiou and In field work throughout the
northern districts. Futures at Liverpool
were neglected. while the situation at
Manchester mills was reported to have
reached a critical stage. Later in the day
the market partially recovered on scat
tered demand from shorts who saw tempt
ing profits in sight and light investment
buying on the idea of too low price" Al
the close the market was steady at a net
loss of 1q2 points. The crop movement
continues 10 run remarkably heavy Thus
far this week port receipts are 10000 bet
ter ahead OF last week To-day's port re-
celpts reached 1874 bales, or over 1000
bales more than the official estimate indi-
