q New York, June 6-The cotton
market opened weak at decline of
20 points under liquidation fol-
lowing lower Liverpool cables and
generally favorable weather over the
South. The selling seemed to be led
by houses with Southern connection
while Wall Street appeared to be COW
ering, but the demand was not Sufh-
cient to check the declining tendency
and July sold down to 11.16 before,
the call was fairly completed. at
this level there was some buying by
reactionists and a rally to lips Tor
July and 8 to points on the new
crop months, but toward midday the
market turned again under a renewal
of Wall street pressure and July de-
cline to 11.32, October at 1868 and
December at 9.54, declines of about ~
points. This was followed by rally
on reports of damaging rains in Texas
that carried July back to about the
best prices of the closing saturday
and the late months 70 the best point
of the morning. But the news seemed
to have no effect, other than to stimu-
late covering by room shorts, and the
list soon weakened again and in the
late trading reached the lowest Level
of the session with July selling at
lilo, a net loss of 26 points: October
at $50 loss Of 81 points and De-
cember at 9.42, q loss OF 30 points.
The close was easy and especially the
lowest level of the session, net de-
cline of 1904 points.
Sales were estimated 100000 bales.
The sudden rise in the afternoon was
said to be partly due to increased de-
mand for spot cotton, but the official
reports from the Southern spot mar
kets showed no improvement in this
direction and local spot people stated
that buyers of spot were holding of
for still further declines.
Receipts received from New Orleans
shortly after midday indicated that
Southern market leaders were sup
porting the market there, but the
prices eased off after a slight rally
and there was no indication of bull
support locally, about the only buyers
being short interests. i4

another drive at the market. and as
before, buying power necessary to. OPP
pose those in control is not in evil
dence Prices went too high i'm the
speculation OF the winter They are
going too low in the depression this
spring. But the day of buying is not
far away. 1t will soon be bargain
day in the cotton market when con-
tracts can be had for a song. 1t be-
gins to look as though that day was
not far away and we ask everyone
to watch developments very carefully
now. No one knows when the mark
ct will touch bottom. No one will
know when it does touch. But there
will be a bottom just as there was
top and the selling side is being over
done now Cotton is worth all it is
selling for today. New crops are
selling on a basis of the biggest crop
ever made in this country, picked,
grown and safe in the storehouse.
And here we have a long summer
ahead, with the plant hardly out of
the ground in some places. 1t is
time not to be short Of cotton and
we firmly believe that anyone who
buys October now on breaks will make

appearance of an active speculation

At the opening the tone was bare

Market Letter.

New York. June 6.-While the stock
market today was still very inactive
the tone was distinctly firm and short
ly after the opening a strong demand
developed for Ontario and Western,
which resulted in advance of over
two points most of which advance
was maintained. Some renewal of
activity has of late been expected in
the coalers, and the rise in Ontario
and Western today will doubtless
soon be reflected in higher prices for
Reading, Pennsylvania, Erie and Bal
timore and Ohio. All grains were re-
dictionary today, although trading
was rather light and there was no
great pressure on the market. Profit
taking on the recent advance was
doubtless responsible for the declines.
The government report to be issued
ON Friday next is expected TO show a
higher percentage of condition and
an indicated yield for grain larger
than on May 1st, but this will not
take into account the damage infiict-
ed by the cold wet weather of last
week. 1t is still too early in the sea-
son for any reliable estimate as to
the final yield, but in view of the UNI
certainty the small stocks in farmers
hands and the strength of the cash
grains, we favor the long side To-
days market for cotton was under
the favorable influence of the govern
ment crop report issued Saturday and
prices declined new low levels. The
new crop months were under particu
lar pressure. and prices receded east
ly. The increased spot demand has
occurred even on the extended de-
cline, which augurs against prices.
Liverpool was weak with sales of
1000 spots at decline of II points.
In the absence of demand for actual
cotton prices should work to a lower
level. w. b. SMITH & co.
