New Orleans Cotton Futures.
New Orleans, May 1S--Cotton futures
opened steady at a decline of 10 to
II points on the old crop months and
6 to points on the new. Liverpool
was somewhat lower than due and the
weather map showed good rains over
a large part of the cotton country,
while the forecast promised more rain
tonight and tomorrow. First prices were
the lowest in the first half hour of
trading as shorts were heavy profit
takers and they covered a large part
of their sales of yesterday afternoon,
APPARENTLY being content with small
gains. Bulls offered the market little
or no support in any month but seemed
to be waiting for chance to get a
new view of the situation after the
rains. kilograms from Texas were to

proved the situation vastly. Tempera-
lures were normal nearly everywhere
and no frost was reported in the north
ern sections of the belt where 1t was

morning grew older and prices were
keyed up to the level of yesterdays
closing around the middle of the morn
ing Covering by shorts furnished the
chief buying source and toward noon
this buying was strong enough to put
August points over yesterdays clos
ing. Other active options stood I'M
changed to / point up compared with
Yesterdays last quotations. bulls ex-
hibited some aggressiveness in the
