THE SPOT MARKETS BEARlSH
 | j

New York, May 31.-The cotton market after opening at a decline of to 12 points became very unsettled, with transactions upon gigantic scale and all classes. of traders trying to sell at the same time. At the weakest interval the lists showed a break of about 15 to 27 points. Following the break in Liverpool foreigners sold heavily here and in New Orleans, and the southern contingent continued their bear policy and sold enormously.
 The selling movement was accelerated here by adverse reports regarding the out look for the sale of cotton goods in this country and Europe Discouraging reports were received from dry goods markets, while the weather forecast was of the very best. Reports from the southern spot mar kets were also decidedly bearish. But as the price of raw cotton has declined about 11ac during the past month even the more pronounced bears were inclined to cover.
 Early in the afternoon a reaction set in and prices moved up 10 to 16 points from the lowest with the covering by shorts sup -2orted by a demand from some good peo- ple who operated for substantial reac- tion. The rank and file of the room trad CTS, however, remained bearsh on the gen. eral situation and sold on this afternoons recovery. The market closed steady at net unchanged prices to 12 points decline.

Pool buying was largely responsible for
the upward movement but some outside

London buying facilitated the rise. Rum
