New Orleans Futures.

New Dreams, May 23.-Cotton futures
opened steady at a decline of 5 to s
points on Indifferent cables and an al
most perfect weather map. No rain was
reported over the belt and temperatures
were fairly high. kilograms from many
sections stated that planting was pro-
ceeding briskly and that cotton was COM
ing up fast everywhere Travelling crop
experts sent in favorable messages. This
news stimulated selling to a great extent
and, while there was a good demand
from shorts who wanted their profits, it
was more than met and at the end Of
the first half hour of business. prices
were to 10 points under yesterday
close.
A feature of the market that caused
a great deal of gossip was the weakness
of July. With the new crop months
showing great steadihess at the decline
and a resistance to pressure the July
delivery sagged constantly. The most
generally accepted explanation was that
local spot interests were heavy sellers
of that position. The decline brought
out considerable liquidation. of July long
cotton, which added to the weakness.
The forecast Of fair weather for the
entire belt also helped the shirt side. At
noon July was Is points down and the
new crop months were 10 down.
