YESTERDAY MORNING.
No Signs of Offerings In Local Mar
ket Reported--Buli Day Set
New High Records in
Futures.

With the cotton market on the up

cents. the price at which the holders
had set their expectations sometime
ago for what staple they have left. yet
there was no signs of any offerings In
the local spot cotton market yester-
day and the day passed without the
recording of sale.
II was a bull day in cotton, and the
new crop months again sought new
high records yesterday on buying by
commission houses shorts and profess
SIGNALS. Notwithstanding the heavy
liquidation, the market continued Its
advance under the influence of the bull
element, which is in full control OF the
market. and the rapid advance OF the
outside buying.
July futures opened about three
points up yesterday morning and ad-
vanced steadily until noon. when heavy
realizing forced the market back six
points. The reports of continued wet
weather in the belt stimulated the BULL
ish sentiment ana the market rallied
again and reached new records. July

opened seven points upon and closed
at 1928 or IA points above Its close on
Tuesday.
Liverpool, due seven points higher
for July and eight points higher on
later months, opened yesterday morn
ing at a seven point advance anu iS-
manned firm and strong all day at a
net advance and sales estimated at
about 1000 bales.
The weather continued unfavorable
over most of the Central section of the
belt, rains being general from New
Orleans to Memphis and also in the
Augusta district. Texas had beneficial
showers at several points. Private
crop reports from Mississippi were I'M
favorable. No precipitation was
recorded in this immediate vicinity
Yesterday indicate ons are for con-
tinued cloudy and showery weather
for the belt probably clearing late this
afternoon or Friday.
Serious complaints of. grassy, water
soaked fields, with crops dying, are
being received from many portions of
Mississippi Alabama, Western Georgia
and Western South Carolina, and the
outlook to the planters is very dis
couraging as a normal yield can hard
ly be expected
