vance of about 80 to 3S points on
the old and of 20 to % points on
the new crop positions. counting from
thek closing prices of yesterday to
the quotations ruling in the early af-
ternoon, reflected about as near a
scare of shorts as anything we have
experienced for the past several
months. The advance was started
again by the firmness of Liverpool
and accelerated by the heavy rains
N the central and western belts, which
took the form of a cloudburst over
sections of Texas, Mississippi and
Louisiana. The market first showed
little disposition to respond to the
frmness in Liverpool where prices
seemed to be influenced by specula-
tive conditions peculiar to that mar
let, and the Ietter spot demand,
sales of 10000 bales being reported.
But after opening steady at an adj
yance of 3 to 6 points and hanging
lround these prices few minutes
rading became more active and the
market advanced sharply on buying

prices were steady and higher on short

were not in evidence, and the ring
was dull with trading limited in vol

COTTON IN THIS SWIM
(Ry the Associated Press.)

New York, July THE cotton
market opened steady at an advance
of to points which was hardly
as much as warranted by the hlgn-
er cables, particularly in view of the
continued talk of too much rain in
central and western sections Of the
belt. 1t seemed at first, however, as
though room longs were taking prof
its aft the advance and there was also
some scattering selling from South
ern sources that tended to restrict the
advance. Local shorts were cover
ing, however, particularly the wan
Street contingent and with leading
room operators. Liverpool and New
Orleans buying, the market soon
turned firmer. Catching stop orders
on the way up it became more ac-
tive and went up more rapidly than
for some time past with only momen-
tary recessionS as q result OF pronl
taking on the advance. The hgh
point was reached in the late trading
when July sold at 1861. gain of AZ
points; August at 1853, gain OF 3S
points, while the new crop showed net
advances of from 30 to % points. In
the last few minutes realizing caused
rrices to ease off a few points, but
the market was finally steady at a
net advance of Is to Z points with
sales estimated at 10000 bales. The
advance seemed chiefly due TO cover
ing of shorts who were unsettled by
the continued firmness of Liverpool
futures, talk of further exports from
the local stock and the complaints of
too much rain in the western belt.
There was also some talk of a squeeze
in the July-August delivery at Liv-
erpool which though more or less in
definite seemed to have some part in
the covering.
