Cotton

New York, August 1.-THE cotton
market opened steady, with prices 4 t o
s points under last nights closing, but.
later, reserved the loss and closed very
steady. The early weakness was due
to surprisingly weak English cables
and the reports of more a where
needed in the southwest. 1t was APP
parent from the first that the pit con-
tingent was DESTROYS of taking profits
on the least decline, rather than TO in
crease commitments on the bear side.
The chief reason for this lack of conf
dence lay in the fact hat crop accounts
were very much mixed. Too much rain
was again complained of in the Carroll
a and parts of Georgia; central Texas
was still without rain in many counties;
shedding was reported in portions of
the central belt and crop estimates
were being cut down west Of the Mis-
issippi liver. The official advices gave
such orders in south central Texas, but
the forecast pointed to clearing con-
ditions tonight in hat region.
Soon after the call prices stiffened up
to nearly the final bids Of yesterday,
and, while there were reactions from
this level later, the market displayed
a Steadier undertone than in some time
of late and during the afternoon held
we'll up on covering, light investment
support, and some buying for southern
account. Report that a lind storm
was working it's way UP through the
Mississippi valley led to some appre-
tensions, as did a rumor that exporters
were more willing to consider offers
from spot cotton holders in the south.
The Fall River mill situation was not
materially changed. In the las half
hour October advanced to 7.24 and JAM
uary to 1928 on a scare of shorts,
brought about by damage reports from
the storm centre in the lower Missis-
sippi valley. The close was very steady
with prices net 2 points higher to l
point lower.
