JULY POSITION TO
INFLUENCE COTTON
New Crop Conditions VIII
Figure Prominently in
Cotton Market

New Orleans, June 15.-The July deal
and new crop conditions will be the
main influences in the cotton market
this week. 1t will be interesting to OBJ
serve whether the July position can
maintain it's prominence For some
| time past it has dominated the en-
tire situation: bears have almost OPEN
ly acknowledged them their fear of the
operations under way and have al
lowed them to wholly offset favorable
| ly acknowledged their fear of the
mains to be seen whether this state
of affairs can prevail much longer, es-
| pecially If crop accounts continue to
improve.
What the bear side fears most is
that large quantities of cotton Will
| leave this side of the water as the
result of acceptances of deliveries
against July. Stocks at ports in this
country are already 100000 bales less
| than they Were year ago. which
| brings about a trying situation for
| shorts, and further depletion would
| become extremely embarrassing. 1t is
claimed in some quarters that owners
| of spots in the south have been sell
| lers of July contracts and will deliver
| a large quantity of cotton. Anything

| this belief have an important bearing
on the immediate position of the mar

While the entire cotton belt has re-
| Gently experienced abnormally cold
weather for June, crop accounts have
not reflected any great damage. al
| though the trade believes that the
growth of the young plant has been
considerably retarded by the cold. Some
complaint of too much rain is coming
in from the northerin counties of Ala
bama and Georgia. What will be most
favorable this week viii be bright
| warm weather The crop can get along
without any moisture at all and would
make quick growth under forcing tenn
peratures. Such conditions would un-
doubtedly lead 10 renewed strong short
selling of the new crop months. al
| though it might not have any effect at
| all on the old crop options.
| The spot markets will be closely

will serve to intensity the effect of the
