COTTON SHOWED
FURTHER STRENGTH.

NEW CROP WAS ADVANCED

New York. June 2.-The cotton market
opened firm at an advance of to points
and following the call while not partieu-
larly active, showed a still further
strength, particularly on the new crop
months, under firmer cables, apprehen-
sions that the floods in the southwest
would work down into the cotton country
and covering. Under these influences the
new crop was advanced before midday 10
new high level for the season, Septem-
Der selling up to 1922. October to 9.77 and
December to 9.62. Following this, how
ever, the market turned easier under real
izing. There was more favorable turn
in the weather and 1t seemed to be
thought that the floods were not likely
to reach the cotton country in sufficient
volume to work any material injuries Ex-
ports for the day were heavy, amounting
to 49, 725 bales, but the port receipts turned
out heavier than originally estimated, be-
ing 1904 bales against 1861 bales last year,
while the into sight for the week was es-
timated at around $1,000 bales against A.
900 last season.
The better accounts from the dry goods
trade had little influence. in view of the
low prices at which the finished product
is selling, compared with the price of cot
ton and 1t was argued that while the gov
eminent report of tomorrow will probably
reflect known conditions. the present level
of prices discounts the damage.
The spot markets of the country, while
| firm, show little activity and spot sales
in Liverpool only amounted to 1900 bales.
| Influenced by these and possibly encour-
aged by the improvement over the condi-
tions last week, noted in the weekly
weather bureau report, the market ruled
easy all the afternoon, being finally bare
ly steady at practically the lowest Of the
session and net unchanged to 5 points
| $50, 900 bales.

reasons. First, il is the anniversary OF
the murder Of King AleXanGer's grand

was feared that further delay would per
