Report Trade in Cotton Active and
widely Distributed.

New York, June 3.-The market for
cotton to-day opened firmer in tone,
with first prices at an advance of 4924
points. There was some heavy buying
at the moment by shorts. Gables were
much better than looked for. Private
cables stated Manchester interests had
decided to resume operations on full
time. and consequently there were fig
ures pointing to increased consumption
of raw cotton. Larger exports were
also predicted. and the feeling for the
time being seemed optimistic. The July
option broke sharply as the day wore
on, but there were good supporting ad-
vices. At times il looked as If the
reckless selling of the bears had reach
ed it's limits. The weather accounts
from the South were quite satisfactory,
and some of the longs of recent crea-
ton sold out their lines of the new
crop positions. Room shorts on the
other hand were inclined to cover in
anticipation of the government report
on the crop due tomorrow. Trade was
active and widely distributed. There
were periods of feverishness, some I'M
settled conditions were still evident,
hence conservative interest in the mar
ket proceeded cautiously all the day.
The late market was quite nervous and
fitful. with room interest generally in

Say Cotton Is Worth All II Is Now
Selling For.

SCAAhe
New York June s.-This time a week
ago a considerable portion of the cot
ton belt was suffering from drought of
several weeks duration, and the out
look was far from encouraging. Shorts
covered freely knowing that without
rains this week there would be an eX-
citing market. When operators came
down after the three days holiday on
Tuesday they learned that showers
had fallen where needed and similar
conditions have existed nearly every
day this week. The actual record of
rainfall will not be available until
early next week. but every indication
furnished by the weather map would
lead to the belief that many counties
without moisture have been relieved,
and that the outlook generally has been
improved. AS the market is now con-
trolled by weather conditions, rain
proved to be all that was necessary
to bring about an extensive decline in
prices. New crop options worked as
low as 10Ac, losing about 1a-cent in
the four days trading. To-day the re-
port of the Financial Chronicle that
cotton acreage had been increased this
year over liz per cent. and that the
general start of the crop is better than
last year added a depressing factor,
but prices appear to have reached a
level where resistance is being offered
to selling pressure. This is the Eu-
ropean buying of distant months. par
ticularly October on a basis of 1917
cents and below and is now a decided
factor in the making of Iprices. The
feature of the week has been the eX-
tensive decline in July cotton, but this
has not attracted general attention
from commission houses in that Gus
toners have been asked to avoid that
option as much as possible in their
operations. Selling has been on an ex-
tensive scale and liquidation, bear
pressure and general hammering have
proved more reckless than anything
seen in the market since the January
imitation in the other direction. During
the January craze it seemed as though
cotton never would stop going up, but
there came a day of reckoning none
the less. In the same way cotton now
seems to have no value and so or rs
points are taken from quotations with
out much difficulty. But cotton at the
present time is worth all that IL is SELL
ing for. and 1t is more than likely that
an awakening to this fact will bring
about a sharp rally in prices. Every
thing now depends on the new crop.
1t is said that the June report due to-
morrow will show a liberal increase in
acreage and a condition above rs and
below 81. The average opinion on
the floor is that while the figures
might possibly be in the seventies, the
condition is not far from so. The de-
cline in prices has been so extensive
that il would be extremely unwise 10
remain short of new crop options at
this level.
