THE COTTON FUTURE MARKET
Weather Over Southwest First Thing
for Trade to Consider.

New Orleans, July G1--With the opening
of the cotton future markets this week The
first thing the trade Will have TO consider
will be weather over the Southwest. The
bears discovered signs of showers on Sat
urday at points in Texas and Oklahoma,
and should showers be reported over any
considerable area the market will be open
to q heavy selling movement. Should the
drouth continue, many disappointed shorts
will rush to cover.
Following close on this weather. trading
will see an effort 10 discount the govern
Ilent report on condition, which is due on
Tuesday morning. Bulls contend that a
condition of more than q per cent is i'm
possible. Last month the condition was 90 !
per cent The contest in the market will
really be over the condition Of the crop in
Texas and Oklahoma. The movement of
new cotton will be watched closely this
week.
The bulls viii go to the 6rygoods market
for information from now on, there were
indications last week that buyers were
taking hold in more general way. The
duness in finished cotton goods has beer
q big drawback to those who are trying to
put cotton higher. and any solid encour-
agement from this quarter will be imme-
diateIy made use of.
