Bleached cottons ruled steady throughout

COTTON.
New York, July 17-Speculation in cot
ton was rather tardy all day though oc-
casional spurts of room and outside buy
ing relieved the monotony at times. The
general course of the market was upward,
on purely legitimate influences. In fact
the manipulated July option acted as a
drawback to better things, being heavy
and unsupported most of the day. The
market opened steady with July four
points lower and other months unchang-
ed to 6 points higher. Soon after the
call fairly good southern and European
buying sifted in while shorts lost conf
dence in their position and covered nerv-
ously. This buying sent prices well-up
to the top notch of the previous day. All
the morning the market was disposed to
work higher. the English cables being de-
cidedly frmer than expected, weather
reports showing continued drouth over the
entire western belt and local rains only
i'm the central belt while more unneed-
cd, soaking rains had fallen In the South
Atlantic States. Again reports from
Southern spot markets indicated strong
convictions on the part OF holders. Bust
ness dwindled to a mere scalping trade
at noon and early in the late session
prices settled several points. But at
D. m. there was a,<aeked change for the
better on reports that hot winds had set
in over Texas and were doing great dam
age Southern buying orders again be-
came a feature and shorts here once
more beat a hasty retreat. Leading bulls
bought the new crop options with con-
fidence and for the rest of the day the
market exhibited firm undertone. The
close was steady with prices net 1 to
II points higher.
