Egyption selling in expectation of a re-
action. Our market responded by open
ing Z points lower on old crop months
and 2q4 on new, but improved 5 short

New Orleans estimate for to-morrow's
receipts and the favorable weekly
weather report, subsequently caused a
break of Is points from the top on this
years position and on the new. On
the decline buyers were attracted and
a reaction was quickly established, re-
ducing the net loss on the day to 10
points on old crop options and on new
spots were quieter, and the demand
was restricted, as exporters claim that
it is impossible to effect any new en-
gagements on the present basis. The
was as follows;
1.-The cotton states have experienced
a very favorable week and cotton
planting has made rapid progress in
all sections, being practically finished
in Texas. Much of the early planted
throughout the cotton belt is up to
good stands and cultivation is we'll add

We again strongly urge our friends
struggling in the old cotton months
either way, but think the new crop
months are a purchase on all weak
periods, as there is less risk, owing 20
the large discounts, and any setback
will occasion a material enhancement
in these positions.

The climbing tendency in the mar

acted. Some realizing sales brought
about a sag from the top and there
were losses until new level had been
reached. Throughout the session, how

business and continued with hardly
any interruption to the close, which
was easy at the lowest prices. Our
market was relatively stronger at the
opening with more strength than Liv-

sream of outside selling set in under
which with a minor reaction prices
broke some 20 points. The strength
of this advance has been in Liverpool

accept present prices than to buy aft
err such an advance. When Liverpool
hesitated we followed Much now de-

COTTON FUTURES.

New York, April 2s.-The cotton
market opened steady 2 to J points
lower, this being an Indifferent re-
spouse to weak Liverpool cables and
generous port receipts, but by 1920
O'Clock the whole market had been
bid up with July $50, or within 5
points of last nights close. Neverthe-
less, the conservative members of the
trade noticed that outside supporting
orders were not as strong as of late,
while many longs were selling for
profits. Liverpool made a feeble eff
Tort to conform to the strength here,
but soon suffered a relapse and closed
net to 21s points lower with the tone
easy Suspicion that large weak long
interests existed and that a sharp
break was at hand prompted selling
for both accounts during the rest of
the early session. By midday July
was off to $50, with the market heavy.
Then came a very bearish weekly crop
and weather report and tremendous
estimate for to-morrow's receipts at
New Orleans. These influences started
urgent unloading of long cotton and
not until July had broken to 9.43 was
there sufficient buying aroused to
check the downward rush. For the
rest OF the day the market was irregu-
lar though disposed to rally some on
covering and new buying.
The close was steady with prices net
to Is points lower. Firm spot market
news and strength in futures at New
Orleans helped the late market here.
