 ing Firm.
PUBLIC NOT INTERESTED

New York, June 6.-The cotton mar ket opened steady and unchanged to 3 points lower and settled another point or so after the call under scattering sales by the bear element and absence of substantial public support. The early action of the market was a natural result of weak Liverpool cables. decline of # to 1 point would havo been an ample response there to the New York decline at the close last night Yet that market was off F to 2h points at the time of the opening here. The crop reports on the average were bearish and leading shorts were slow to foresee anything up- on which to base a fresh buying move ment. But before the close of the first hour the whole situation In the ring changed decidedly and slowly at first. but with increasing rapidity as the day progressed, prices working upward. The weather map gave continued dry weather over the eastern and western belt, and the forecast gave little promise of soak ing rains within the next thirty-six hours. Bullish weekly figures became fea- ture in the early afternoon and during the last two hours the market exhibited a very firm front on active buying Tor both accounts. A single block of 15oo bales March changed hands at 7.S5 on the mid afternoon call, with 5000 bales more wanted at the same price by the same buyers. The worlds visible supply was shown to have lost 144.000 bales. against a decrease of 5000 bales for the same week last year; the American visible lost 11S,OOO bales, against 105,o00 for the same week last year. Supt. King gave the insight for the week as 3S,574 bales, as against estimates of 24O,0o0 to 42,..o bales. The market closed very steady with prices net 6 to 13 points higher. The new crop months are holding a firm tone to the rest of the list
