New Orleans, May Liverpool was
disappointing and advices from there
stated that the class of buyers was
poor and too many stimulating cables
were being received from America. Our
market responded by opening four
lower on old crop months, but improved
one to two on new and becoming sim
ply steady shortly after on fresh buy
ing. The liberal New Orleans, Houston
estimates. coupled with the easier feel
ing in spots occa stoned a break later
Of II to IA on summer positions and
on new Renewed buying about this
time superinduced a slight rally
which, however, was only momentarily
because the collapse in the Internal
ional Power Company's stock in Wall
street, and tight money in New York
again caused the easiness, making the
net loss II points on old crop options,
and five to nine on new. We have adj
vised our friends against operating in
summer months on either side, because
we believe present values discount a
great deal in the situation for the mo-
ment. AS our market, however, is
much the highest in the world, we sug-
eest to our customers who have spot
cotton for sale TO send 1t here as 1t can
he disposed OF to better advantage than
anywhere else. While recognizing that
old crop months should be let alone
and unless one is prepared to receive
or deliver the actual spot cotton, we
think the heavy discounts on the new
crop months make them attractive to
investors as there is less risk and any
set back to the next crop would cause
material enhancement in these po-
sitions.

COTTON FUTURES.

New York, May 1.-The cotton mar
ket opened quiet with prices 8 points
lower to l point higher. this being quite
contrary to the cable news which re-
1ected a firm undertone in Liverpool.
The English market had been counted
on to come about unchanged, but at
the time of the opening was up 1 to
212 points. Nevertheless there were
few buying orders in evidence here and
bear leaders seemed to be in an ag-
gressive mood. Soon after the call
commission houses began to sell "stop
order cotton" from which the bears
took their cue to pound the summer
months. From $500 July was soon
down to 9.40c, and after a slight rally,
broke to 9.37c. The Liverpool market
market was unable to stand the weak
ness here, and soon gave way heavily.
New Orleans, too, was very irregular,
and finally broke some 10 points under
active selling for both accounts. Room
sentiment here was bearish under the
large receipts and favorable outlook
for the new crop. Yet few operators
cared to extend commitments beyond
August, owing to fear of possible I'M
favorable weather changes in broad
ening speculation in October, December
and January, which is now due. After
slight rally the market weakened
again in the afternoon, and near the
close broke to 9.35c for July under SELL
ing for both accounts. Port receipts
were over 1000 bales, but proved to
be less than total clearances.
The market at the close was easy
and net 5 to 10 points lower. The pres
ent crop months led the drop, with the
May option the only one showing the
extreme loss.
