NEW YORK AND NEW ORLEANS HIGHEE
The More Serious Phase of the Chi
nose situation Affected the Steel
Market Noticeubiy.

Yesterdays cotton market was. on the
whole. quite satisfactory 10 the bulls. Liy-
erpooi was closed. which left the American
markets in a position to move on their own
responsibility In the early dealings there
was a decline the market being weak. with
tendency to liauidate. Later on the news
from China was OF a more encouraging char
acter and the shorts began to cover.
1t Is apparent that last week the market
was oversold. The favorable weather condi-
tions unfavorable China news and other
circumstances. hardly justified the knock
ing of OF x OF cent pound In the specu-
latye markets.
Liverpool spots last week melted like sugar
IN bowl OF water. one day the decline
being from y 10 I'd a pound The sales
however. even on the declines were limited
ranging from 200 TO 1000 bales a DAY. The
July option being louldated a week ago re-
moved that bugbear. But what IS to be
done about August OF course all depends
Oh the weather and the receipts. Local cot
ton men say Houston is apt TO receive any
where from 1900 to 5000 bales during the
month. bu, there is no certainty as to this.
Reports from different parts OF the state
show that at all points combined thore are

number would cover the new crop.

Futures in New York opened to points

there was something Of . squirt. on closing
prices were To points higher than Satur-

New Orleans futures opened to points
