COTTON VERY QUIET
NO LOCAL SALES WE'RE REPORTED
 YESTERDAY.
Conflicting Reports From rexas Causes Errattc Market--Futures Fai1 on Again and spots Alse
 Drop. s

With very little cotton offered. and few buyers out looking. the local spot cotton market was very quiet yester- day and not a single bale was reported sold. On account of the conficting reports from Texas. the general cotton market has been cratic for the past few days. Futures declined still further yester- day, July closing { points lower than It's close on Wednesday,. The local pliddiing quotation consequently fell ofI l.i6 of cent. and is now quoted at 10 cents. Ell
 The Texas drought stiii continues, and froni- the conflicting reports re- ceived, some parts Of the State have had slight showers while other parts are still dry. According to the weath- er map. however, generally cloudy weather prevails In the belt and for the first time in many months tndica- lions point to general wet spell fer the whole State.
 According to most authorities rath- hr indifferent demand has been report ga for tbe actual stun from the New England mills. while reports from abroad say that spinners In Germany and Manchester need cotton.
