Palestine reporting a fall of an inch.
There was two inches rain at New Or
leans. The trade appeared to be more in
terested at this time in the movement of
cotton during the next sixty days than In
the rain question. 1t was expected that
new cotton would be moving quite freely
ere this. Up to this time the new crop
Is conspicuous by its absence. Half of
July has passed by without new cotton
of consequence being marketed. Now
the talk Is that August will witness a
heavy movement. but until this actually
occurs the trade Is going to adopt con-
servative policy. A short interest In
January of no little Importance is claim
