COTTON SHOWED
 FIRM UNDERTONE Fire In Bremen Is Influential Factor SOUTH TURNS TO BE BUYER Advance Has Had Basis In the Belief That the Market Was Heavily
 Short of the Actual
 Stuff.
 
SOUTH TURNS TO BE BUYER

New York, July 6.-The cotton market opened steady at an advance of 40l1l points on covering promoted by better cables than expected, talk of to much rain in the western belt and reports that the firmness at Liverpool had been caused by the loss of several thousand bales of cotton by fire at Bremen. Spot houses, too, seemed to be buying both old and new crop positions here, and while at first the south was a seller, causing slight decline from the opening figures, these interests later became buyers and the market during a greater part or the session showed a firm undertone In the absence of important offerings. There was, of course more or less irregularity as room traders went in and out Of the market, but in a general way the ten- dency was upward until in the early a1- ternoon prices showed gain Of llQ2S points, August leading the advance Later there was a renewal of bear pres sure, and toward the close the market was easier. being finally quiet and steady at net advance of sa13 points. Sales were estimated at only 25,0O0 bales.
 The fire at Bremen was said to affect some 17000 bales, of which @OO bales were said to be either destroyed or con siderably damaged, and the buying to undo hedges that had been out against this cotton in Liverpool and the local market, probably started the advance. The advance. however. has had a basis in the belief that the market was heavily short to users of the actual stun. Ihe weather reports were favorable, aside from the rains in the west, which receiv- ed more than usual attention, owing to the idea that wet season favors the work of the boil weevil. Private crop accounts through the day were generally of a bearish character.
 Receipts at the ports today were l9bS bales, against S255 last week, and Sbb2 last year. For the week 5000 against 164S last week, and 14622 last year. Today 5 receipts at New Orleans 1156 against 22l7 last year, and at Houston 67, against - last year.
