ket opened steady at a decline Of "a
points on July and IA points on August,
while later months were unchanged to
points higher. The old crop appeared
to be influenced by a few scattering
notices, and right after the opening july

while August selling 4 points higher and
new crop positions to points over the
closing figures of Yesterday on covering
for over-the- week end, better cables than
expected and reports OF trade buying
Offerings. however. increased on this rally
and the market during the middle Of the
morning was nervous and irregular with
prices net unchanged to points lower.
Trade buying became heavier at noon
as the new crop worked below the p
cent level and the market steadied up
during the late forenoon. with busin ess
becoming much less active toward mid
day and with prices about steady to a
decline Of or 5 points on the old crop
new. 1t seemed that smaiIer speculative
accounts were being evened up for over
the We Elk end or pendingo fresh develop
ments, particularly with reference to the
probable showing of the August bureau
early next month. Private advices from
the central belt are complaining Of too
much rain.
The market became firmer during the
noon hour on covering and reports of too
much rain in the central belt, with prices
working about II points over the closing
figures of yesterday on the new crop,
while old crop positions rallied to about

New Orleans Futures.

New Orleans, July 21.-Cotton futures
opened steady at a decline of 2 to s
points in spite Of very favora BILE cables.
Brokers had a large accumulation over
night OF selling orders to fill and they
more than supplies the demand on the
first call. Shortly after the call the mar
ket steadied and the more active months
were put l to 2 points over yesterday
close. Selling started afresh and the list
fell to levels s to II points under yester-
days close. The weather map showed
some little rain in Oklahoma and Arkan-
sas and scattered rains in the eastern
half Of the belt It was generally called
favorable.
Shorts were good buyers on the decline
and this profit taking became strong
enough around the middle Of the morning
to absorb all offerings. Scalpers saw
their chance to play the market for an
upward turn and went heavily long with
the result that the market spurted up
ward, running weaker shorts to cover.
Toward noon there was some little ex-
citement around the ring and the trading,
while still mainly among professionals
was fairly brisk. Sentiment remain ed
bearish and the gossip Of the floor made
1t plain that those who were buying were
not looking for a permanent advance. At
noon the market was steady l point up
to points off. compared with yester-
days close on the old crop months and Z
to s points up on the new crops.
