New York. May 1s.-operations in cotton fu-
lures from start to finish to-day were conserva-
tive and mostly in the way OF settlements by
chief supporters. On the opening the tone was
quiet. with prices unchanged to 1 point higher.
Soon afterwards prices began to settle under
room selling and Southern selling. with July fin-
ally OF to 1.sS. The new-trop positions, also. fol-
loved a contrary course to Influences and, after
months. turned strong on room trading and
worked, up to above last nights closing. This
strength was quite out OF line with reports Of
heavy rains in part Of the Southwestern belt.
Liverpool quickly conformed to the near-month
prices here. and at the close WAS a tribe below
the pit shorts became nervous. and In an effort
to cover sent July rapidly TO 1.s9c and Oct. to
lac. There was nothing In tho way Of news or
outside buying orders to cause this change on
the part Of the room brokers. Before the close
a slight reaction had occurred under fresh sell
short interests had been evened up and a long
account created; Again 1t was feared Liverpool
would be sensitive tomorrow to the wet-weather
forecast from the Southwest The close was
