WEATHER RALLIED PRICES

New York, June 26.-The cotton market
was comparatively quiet but showed a
generally steady tone and after an early
points higher.
The market opened weak, decline of
6d10 points following lower cables and
selling by room bears in expectation Of
a bearish weekly bureau report tomor-
row, but there was a fair demand on the
decline, chiefly for southern account ac-
companied by reports from the south that
continued rain was doing damage in some
sections of the belt, and prices soon raj
lied. Spot houses were said TO be buy
ing July, thus relieving apprehension as
to the influences of notices on next Fri
day, to some extent, and in the early
afternoon the marked worked up TO u
net advance of about 4G6 points on the
active months or to within about points
of the highest level of the week. There
was some reaction toward the close un-
der realizing, but the final tone was
steady. Sales estimated at 100000 bales.
The weather map showed considerable
rain over Sunday and while many claim
ed that the wet weather can do no
special damage southern advices were
rather less bearsh as to crop conditions
and southern spot markets were again
reported firm.
Receipts at the ports today 1926 bales
against S576 last week and 2470 last year.
For the week (estimated) $4,000 bales
against 1851 last week and II, 1870 last
year Today's receipts at New Orleans
1865 bales against 1910 last year and at
Houston, l40S bales against 557 last year.
