BULL FORCES MET
 WITH REVERSES Market Failed to Respond to Legitimate Influences LIVERPOOL OPENED HIGHER But Early Took Different Turn Later. Prices See-sawed With the Vary Ing Reports Received During
 the Day.
LIVERPOOL OPENED HIGHER

New York, June 21-While successful at the start today the bull force in cotton met with something of a set back later and at times showed many evidences of nervousness owing to the lack of response by the market to legitimate influences. The opening was steady, with prices un- changed to points higher, and during the first few minutes indications pointed to still further gains. Liverpool was fully one point higher than expected, and news from spinning districts proved to be radi- cally bullish. But turn in the character of foreign news and the appearance of selling orders in July turned the scale against the market, and prices slowly eased off. Liverpool eventually stiffened upon fine Manchester accounts, and a large demand for spot cotton in all European markets. This caused prices here to work back to the opening. But early in the afternoon fresh liquidation of July long stuff, some of which appear ed to come from the ''cique," gave room holders cause for alarm and general sell ing set in. The movement carried July off to S25 August to ITS and October to 7.S7. around which good buying came in and led to a turn of shorts for cover. A forecast for continued dry and hot wealth CT over the southwest strengthened the bull sentiment and prompted investment buying for outside account. Spot cotton holders in the south were reported to be most arbitrary in their views and refused to sell except at substantial advances. The market was finally quiet and steady, with prices net one point higher to 4 points lower.

 New Orleans Cotton Market.
 New Orleans. June 21.-There was not a great deal doing in the market for spot cotton today Buyers were moving about among the sample rooms freely, but as a rule showed little disposition to trade The present assortment on the tables Is not of character to invite free trading, even were factors inclined to make slight concessions, which by the way they are not willing to do. They are very much encouraged by the reported improve ments in dry goods trade. as well as by the comparatively free movement of spots at Liverpool and hold for full fig ures Sales 800 bales, including 50 f. O. b. and $50 to arrive. Quotations unchanged
 A moderate amount of trading marked the progress of the future market today with transactions as a rule representa- tive of room trading. New Orleans showed first call loss of to points on the several positions. and during the day merely backed and filled over a range of 4 to 5 points In either direction without displaying any decided inclination either to advance or decline, and at the close, compared with yesterday, showed net loss of 2 to 4 points on the entire list New Orleans.
