New York. May I.-There was a surfeit OF
news On which to base new ventures in cotton
rather than broading speculation. As a whole
the market scored slight net gains. But the day
was unsatisfactory from a business standpoint,
and left longs and shorts still in doubt as to the
near future.
The opening was quiet and firm, with prices
) points lower to } points higher. Liquidation Of
near months caused the decline. The far months
were supported by a few commission houses and
restless shorts. Following the call the market
steadied decidedly on an increased demand from
the bear side. and decreased offerings. July ad-
bu. at no time was there any evidence Of support
from the clique. After the first hour prices eased
OF several points under selling for profits by
early buyers. most of whom were disturbed by
iumors tina; acreage increase would reach fully
~ per cent. Receipts were heavy. but were Offset
by reports OF more heavy unneeded rains in tine
