July at the opening, and the market was
very excited curing the early trading ON a
rasn covering by recent sellers and re-
newed scare of July shorts That posi-
ton sold up to 1910 right after call, or I3
points above the closing IigureS of last
night, and before the advance was
checked the later months showed net
gain of from 20 to 81 points.
1t was then estimated that not more
than loo bales of July changed hands
on the advance of % points, but trading
in the later months was heavy, and the
demand seemed to be tapering off toward
suit that prices reacted somewhat under
realizing. The forecast for generally fair
weather in the western belt and bullish
rumors as to the probable showing Of
the National Ginners Association crop
report checked anything like aggressive
selling, however, and the market at mid
day was very steady. at a net advance
of 81 to 43 points.

CHICAGO, July 27.-Belief that the
heavy damage reported in the Canadian

day. Lower quotations at Liverpool
formed another bearish factor. 1t also
was stated that the crop in the Dakotas
and Minnesota had reached stage where
further damage could be done only by a
wet harvest. Selling was heavy, especially
when at one time there was slight
symptom of a rally. The market opened
at 1O4k to 1.O47s, that month ranging
from last nights level to asak below.
