OLD CROP MONTHS
SHOWING STRENGTH
Short Covering Sent May to
New High Level
LIVERPOOL NO INFLUENCE
AS a Whole, the Market Was Finally
Steady, Net Nine Points Higher
to Three Points Lower--Port
Receipts Larger.
LIVERPOOL NO INFLUENCE

New York, May 6.-The cotton market
opened steady at an advance of l to 8
points on the near months and l point
higher to points lower on the more dis
tant positions Following the call, the
market ruled very irregular, the old crop
months showing pronounced strength un-
der further covering Of shorts which
drove May up to another new high level
for the season. The best prices were re-
corded just before the close when May
sold at 1917 against yesterdays high
point of 10.6S. The advance in the spring
and summer options was due to a fur
Their show of strength on the part of
bulls and the developments in July at
New Orleans, which was generally attrib-
uted to the strong spot situation there.
The Liverpool market being as about ex-
pected, exerted little influence. At in
tervals through the day there were brief
and unimportant recessions, but the open
ing prices proved the lowest on the near
months and the close was within point
of the highest on May and July and with
in 3 points on August. The new crop
months being more easily Influenced by
weather reports, the movement was rela-
lively weak. After the opening they still
further declined under the favorable
weather reports Port receipts reached
over 10000 bales as compared with $500
last year. September sold down 6 points
from the opening figures with the other
late months ranging from to points
lower. The general covering just before
the close brought about a slight recoy
cry, however, and the market as a whole
was finally steady net 3 points higher to
3 points lower.
Total sales, futures, estimated 125,0OO
bales.
