low record prices, 1t would put the manu-

New York. May 1s-The cotton market
opened steady at unchanged prices to
decline of points on the old crop while
new crop positions sutained by rather
unfavorable early weather reports owing
To low temperatures In portions of the
belt were unchanged to points higher.
The initial declines on the old crop were
under nquida ton but almost Immediately
after the call the whole market showed
tirmness with July selling up to 1SH on
local buying led by a house with Liver
pool and German connections, while
local spot house with New England con-
nections was also an active buyer of the
latter positions.
When an advance of 4 to points over
last nights finals had been established
however the market turned easier Liver
pool cables which had been about right
on the New York closing on the previous
day turned easier also and New Orleans
showed a marked tendency towards a
lower level. There was considerable SELL
ing here, believed to be for the account
of a leading Philadelphia interest in IN
doing hedges between this market and
Liverpool and this started prices down.

Soon stop orders were reached and a
wave of selling came in that was led by
New Orleans and that sent prices into
low grounds. July around 1920 attract

in fresh selling orders from commission
house clients and with hardly a pause

points from the highest point of the
morning and of over half cent from
the high point of the week, The de-
cline was accompanied by no little excite

than for weeks past.

dereurrent was very nervous and unset
