short selling n a moderate amount
of long liquidation depressed prices
in the cotton market this week Better
weather and crop Jews was chiefly
responsible for the selling. The net
change for the week in the future
market was a loss Of SIS points.
The high prices were made on
Thursday and the low prices on Tues
day. At the highest the trading
months we're still 10 points under the
close of last week; at h lowest they
were IA to rs under. The range was
GA to 66 points.
Throughout the week, the eastern
half Of the belt sent in most encour-
aging crop advices which, in a great
dispelled the Idea that rop
in the Atlantic States had been perm
anently injured by the excessive rains
Of the growing season. Texas got
more or less rain and the conditions
of drouth that have been prevailing
in some sections Of that State were
generally considered to have been re-
lieved for the time being at any rate.
A few complaints of insect damage
we're received but no reports Of seri-
Gus damage from this source were
made. Large quantities OF poison
were shipped into the cotton region
and the outlook seemed to be that the
first hatch Of worms would be killed
off in time to prevent later matches
from which the greatest damage re-
suits. It was mainly a weather mar
ket and little attention was paid to
anything but weather conditions.
| Spots attracted some notice because
Of their tendency to a lower basis in
| Texas and this stimulated selling.
| BulIish influences were scare and the
chief support came from the profit
taking Of longs. Buying to realize
profits caused the high prices OF
Thursday.
In the spot department prices lost
nine-sixteenths Of a cent, middling
closing at II 1916 against 1928 last
week and 11X this week last year.
Sales on the spot amounted to 4S6
bales. against 447 last week and 271
this week last year. Sales 70 arrive
amounted to SIS bales, against SO
