TOO MUCH RAIN OF LATE

New York, May 19.-The cotton market
to. points lower and then weakened un-
der heavy bear pressure from Wall Street
and absence of substantial speculative
support. Later July broke to 1855 and
August to $3.50 and for time the whole
list gave symptoms Of further weakening.
But whereas early crop reports had been
bearish late messages from the central
and western belt complained Of too much
rain and high winds damaging young cot
ton. Light port and interior receipts with
small estimates for tomorrow's receipts
combined to give the market healthier
appearance later In the day. During the
afternoon the shorts devoted attention
almost exclusively to wriggling out of
their predicament and found very little
cotton for SALE A telegram from New
Orleans stated that bull leaders were
bidding for blocks of 100 bales Of May and
10000 bales OF July without finding SELL
ers. The weather forecast indicated con-
the belt tonight and tomorrow which
the impression spread that the Liverpool
marke. which has been closed for three
dSys, will show steady front tomor-
row on the least indication of an I'M
favorable crop outlook. Export clearances
once more exceeded port receipts by a
large margin and the insight estimates
ard pointed to another very bullish show
of statistics in general at the close of the
week The market was finally very
steady with prices net to 70 points
higher. Total sales were estimated at
100000 bales, considerable portion of
which were In the new crop months.

Guiding 100 to arrive Quotations I'M
changed
In the market for futures there was very
little doing. Liverpool Is still taking her
Whitsuntide holiday and therefore ceases
to be a factor in present movement. The
opening was from even prices on the new
crop to points up on the near months,
but Immediately after the call prices
worked down in connection with New
York helped along by some vigorous
hammering by Southern bears until
loss of 8 TO 10 points on the active months
had been noted. At this juncture the big
local bulls invaded the ringside and by a
mighty effort managed to head Off the
decline, and later on being reinfoced by
a vigorous movement In New York, sue
ceeded in recovering all previous losses,

shade better than Saturdays closing
figures. At the close the market showed
net gains of to points on all positions.
