tBy the Associated Press.)

New York. June 2-The cotton mar
ket opened rather steady i'm tone at
decline of 4M9 points and immediate
ly turned sensationally weak under
active liquidation that seemed to come
from practically all sources, but when
was believed to originate ch1ehy WITH
New Orleans. Inside of minute al
most, July had broken "a points and
continued to decline until it had
reached 11.5S, a net loss of about 40
points 1t looked as though over night
locals for additional margins had
brought in heavy selling orders Ior
nearly all the big wire and commlS-
sion houses were heavy sellers on the
decline.
The new crop months ruled relative
ly steady, being sustained by covering
in spite of the excellent weather ana
as the selling pressure seemed to SUD
side somewhat toward the end OF the
first hour prices rallied in nervous
sort of way on covering by room
shorts. After selling back to Ills for
July with the new crop back to about
the closing prices of the previous night
however. there was q renewal of sell
ing by houses with New Orleans con-
uections and with some bear pressure
from Wall Street sources, the market
again began to decline. July gradual
IN broke into new low ground ana ran
into fresh stop orders below 11.50.
One broker who had a comparatively
small selling order was forced to Offer
and re-offer his cotton and could not
find n buyer above 11.36. AT this
level. which represented a net decline
of 60 points, the market stead1ed
slightly and i'm the late trading showed
some disposition to do better. closing
steady 5 010 points up from the bot
tom. but at a net decline of 100 so
points. Sales We're reported of 900, 900
bales or the largest days business
since the exciting times just following
the Sully collapse. Usual factors were
entirely absent, but receipts were mod
crate. exports small and spot markets
generally lower and quiet.
Receipts of the cotton at the ports

week $4,000 bales, against 26,253 last

Cotton Letter

Raleigh, n. c., June 2.-The mark
ct today was very much demoralized
In fact things locked sicl<er than for
long time. Bears now have full
swing and 1t will take IL lot Of crop
damaga to start = bull market. We
can look FOR n rally any time now on
short covering, but without some
turn for the worse IN crop conditions
or Il change in the spot market
there vii, be no inducement to QUILL
cotton. Tie action of new cron op-
tons shows that prices are getting to
a point whore Q. lot of good stands
and inc conditions are discounted. 1t
will be hard to keep prices going on
down. Progress will be slow. AS
long as the weather is good we do not
look for change. But prices are
now getting down where shorts need
to be veiy cautious and we would only
sell for a scalp and that on bul;es
The speculative position is not strong.
1t is hard to get people in the market
when YOU have nothing to offer. Out
side of few ;.oints on the bear side
there is small prospect OF big money
in either direction. For instance, De-
tober option sold at 10.45 this morn
ing when July was 1f.75. October
was going down slowly. Shorts are
beginning to bug in and wait for an
advance. The weekly report on Tues
day should he good. The Saturday
showing may not be good, but this
will only send shorts in to cover and
the market can hardly improve de-
cidedly as long rs crop accounts are
good. The market is getting too low
to be short of it,

Stocks and Bonds.

New York, June ,2.-Conditions of
speculation in stocks were unchanged
today. The only conspicuous price

of the obscurer class. Some of the
high grade stocks were affected. The
group of low grade nOn-dividend pay
ers which suffered from liquidation
Yesterday was neglected today. Such

cover The general market was inert
and the days small trading did not
alter materially the level of prices.
The news of the day didAnothing i'm
portant but it offered little to change
the opinion of doubt and uncertainty
which overhangs the market. The re-
port of the April earnings of the Penn
sylvania was depressing FACTOR and
some special effect on that stocks.
| The large falling off in net returns
both east and west of Plttsburg ana

condition of railroad traffic in the reg

equanimity the declining tendency in
the cotton market as promising bet
Ter adjustment to the needs of the cot

that OF today and the presumed spec
ulative losses involved by the throw
ing over of long holdings by the mn
covering of stop loss orders had a

New York J,ne 2.-The decline in

important demand from spinners. |
had thought that 1T HllSll De other
wise, but it seems much more difficult
to start the mills going once they have
been stopped than II was anticipated
would be the case. ne ueclihe IN the
value of raw cotton has demoraliZed
the market for goods and spinners
now seem TO he more concerned about
disposing of their large stocks of man
ufactured goods than they are about
buying fresh raw material. Mean
time there is absolutely no support for
July contracts except Such as comes
from the short interest TO cover con-
tracts and this apparently is now filed.
1t is automatic that the long interest
must always exceed the short interest
by the actual amount OF cotton in eX-
iStence. The visible ana invisible sup
ply today is not less than 100000
abales. There are only twenty-five
working davs before July tenders viii
be made. Barring a corner, Of which
there seems to be no present prospects
and it is too late to acquire the cot
tor necessary to its success. There is
no reason why July contracts should
sell higher than September contracts,
Ind if the government report on Sat
urday is a bearish one l shall not be
surprised to see July cotton offered
at ii cents Saturday afternoon. Cur
rent estimates of the short interest are
in my opinion greatly exaggerated.
Eumaniature is pretty much alike
and the bears have had such large
profits coming. to them of late that
even they have frequently become re-
actionists, covering at each decline,
thus keeping the short interest con-
stantiy within limited proportions
