OLD CROP STRENGTH
FEATURES COTTON
Render Market More Suscep-
tible to Continued
Shipments

New York, June 6-The reia tive strength
and activity of old crop months have
been the features of the cotton market
during the past week. The June condi-
tion report of the department Of agrlcul-
ture issued on Monday proved consid-
erabIy less favorable than expected and
while it's Influence was offset to some
extent by the optimistic average OF other
reports and claims that the crop outlook
had improved materially since the official
data were collected, it undoubtedly tended
to restrict offerings to some extent. The
report, therefore, probably rendered the
market more susceptible to continued
shipments from the local stocks, reports
of a continued demand from European
spinners for early new crop deliveries,
and renewed buying of all crop positions
here against sales in Liverpool or of late
deliveries There was said to be little
indication of a broadening demand for
long account but shorts evidently be-
came nervous and the market today
showed recoveries of about 20 to 80 points
from the low level of last Monday. Scat
tering complaints of excessive tempera-
t,,res I'm the southwest or of insect damage
have been received during the week, but
generally speaking private crop advices
have been encouraging and but little
fault has been found with weather con-
rlttions. particularly lower temperatures
and showers were indicated toward the
end of the week. The advance In new
cron months has consequently been at
trihuted very largely to the influence of
old crop strength which not a few local
traders claim the result of an accumu-
lated short interest below parity with
Tiverpool and the south, rather than a
development of any actual bull campaign
ana once there has been a readjustment
Of parity, they predict that the market
will show greater sensitVeness to daily
contrary believe that the low condition
figures have laid the ground work for a
higher market should there be any un-
favorable development in the new crop
outlook and claim that domestic spinners
must eventually come into the market for
further supplies.
