THE MIDDAY FOUNDATIONS

New York. May 27-July cotton con- tinues to claim the attention of brokers and option today was more varied and er- manipulation talk first gained credence The market as whole opened firm and four to seven points higher on fairly ac- tive general buying and great scarcity of offerings, July at one time led the rise and soon after the call was firm at 8.10. This proved to be the top of the day, however, as large selling orders. presum- ably for profits. were reached at that figure. By midday liquidation and short selling had cut down the price of July to Saturdays final bid and had made ser ious inroads upon later month values. Rumor had 1t on the board that western bulls were selling out their July cotton and covering short on August. The ac- tion of the market for time lent color to this rumor. July showing intense weakness, while August held tolerably steady and failed to break 7.82 A scare ofkshorts in New Orleans led to a pro- ndsfnoed advance but in sympathy. with our decline values there crumbled rapid ly toward midday. Estimates for com paratively small receipts tomorrow with fears that Liverpool would come much higher tomorrow, started fresh covering in the afternoon on which prices worked up rapidly. The new crop options were generally steady all day on unfavorable crop news and reports of firmer spot mar kets South. The close was steady with near months one point higher to two points lower and later was five to seven points higher.

 New Orleans. May N.-The opening of the cotton market was characterized by a degree of activity unknown for some time past. July contracts found eager buyers at 10 points advance and before the most urgent demand from shorts was satisfied this delivery sold up to 7s9, being a gain of IS points on previous closing. When the more timid shorts were well supplied the price eased off with almost rapidity equal to the quick advance and dropped to Saturdays quo tations, from which 1t reacted some or points but again losing the advance and closed at 7.6s to 7.69 for July, making a loss for the day say points on this month. while late months make corre- spending gain.

New Orleans Cotton Market.

New Orleans, May 27-There was not much doing today in the market for spot cotton. Factors are immensely encour- aged by the advance in contract prices, and the newly developed demand for ten- derable low grades and are now holding their stocks for materially higher prices. The demand Is steadily increasing where the lower grades of tenderable cotton are concerned, and such qualitis are now sought after by several of our largest firms for shipment to New York in an- ticipation of the July squeeze, which promises to be blessing in disguise for the holders of cotton. Sales, 1850 bales, including 150 to arrive. Quotations un- changed.
 The market for contracts was moderate ly active and prices covered wide range, giving ample play for all elements to work today. Liverpool Is still enjoying It's Whitsuntide holidays, but that fact cut small figure in the situation just at present for New York Is absolutely in control of the market and New Orleans responds readily to her every move The market here showed opening gains of ten to eighteen points on the current crop and eight to nine points on the next crop, and advanced 4 to ' points additional when g. reaction set in. There was a steady decline from that time on to the close. Compared with the closing of Sat urday, May showed a loss of IA points; June, 8, and July 8. The other monthr gained from to points.
