In the city yesterday afternoon the
high tides filled the river nearly to the

the street for a distance of thirty feet.
Very luckily there was no wind and

Cotton

New York, May 29.-Much of the ses-
sion on the cotton exchange today was
spent in closing up minor accounts pre-
p%aratory to the holiday tomorrow and,
as a matter of precaution, pending re-
ceipt of Fridays acreage estimate from
Washington. The July deal did not
furnish any special feature, though
that option was weakest and firmest
on all fluctuations, due largely to the
relatively greater speculative interest
than in any other position. The open
ing was steady though prices were off
2 to 9 points under active selling for
local and foreign account. The near
options came in for the brunt of the
selling pressure and declined most.
Bearish cables. heavy port receipts and
generally improved crop advices acted
as factors of depression. Liquidation
was brisk for commission account and
cotton purchased for a rise came out
in good blocks. The downward move
ment was arrested by p~rofit-taking and
buying for a rally when July had touch
ed 7.70.
Liverpool followed our decline after
opening. but was quick to respond to
the steadier ruling here and contributed
a few buying orders, mainly late
BY midday the opening loss had been
recovered and a net gain Of / to 3 points
established. For the rest of the session
the. market followed a comparatively
narrow path and much Of the time was
neglected speculatively. The estimates
for temorrow's receipts south, the
weather forecast and southern market
reports averaged up more favorable to
b market than was expected and
served to check selling of a bear ma
ture. The market closed steady with
prices net 1 to 4 points higher.
