LITTLE ACTIVITY IN
COTTON MARKET
Prices Ease Off Under
Scattered Selling-Close
Is Steady

New York, June 1S.-The cotton market
was rather less active today and appeared
to be somewhat unsettled, with prices cas-
ing off under realizing or scattered SELL
ing, which seemed to come partly from
southern sources. The close was steady
but at a net decline of to IA points.
The opening was steady az a decline of
2 to 8 points in response to lower cables
and prices soon showed net losses of from
10 to II points on the active months
House with Liverpool and continental con-
nections were heavy sellers on the de-
cline, while there was a good deal CT
scattered realizing on a bearish view of
weather conditions, favorable crop ac-
counts and large private acreage figures
Offerings were well taken at the decline,
owing to continued support from local
bulls and covering by old shorts, however
and after the close of Liverpool had shut
out arbitrage selling, prices rallied to
within point or two of last nights clos
ing figures. Reports of good rains in
drouthy sections of the southwest iu-
spired increased offerings later and the
market eased off again, closing at approx
imately the lowest level of the day on the
more active positions a private crop
report issued before the opening made the
condition $40. Another report placed the
probable area planted at 3S,573, AL acres.

BUSINESS IS DULL
ON MORRIS AVENUE
Intense Heat Causes Iner-
tia-Huckleberries Are
Getting Scarce

.sssss.s.s.a,

The Morris avenue market is in q state
of inertia due to the heat wave that is
sweeping over the city. Meat prices are
unchanged and the business that is being
done in that line is not of startling pro-
portions The grain market is listless and
the demand only fair.
Eggs are being received with a fair de-
quite brisk. Few Alabama eggs are be-
ing received, although one firm receives
about so cases a week from an Albertville
shipper. In the present hot weather eggs
are hard to keep fresh and large quanti-
ties of ice are being used by the dealers.
Eggs are very sympathetic, and If a fresh
laid one is placed by the side of a tainted
egg and left there for a day or SO both
will be spoiled Many dozens of eggs are
lost through the carelessness of shippers
putting up two or three spoiled eggs
along with a case of good ones.
Huckleberries are getting scarce and
the demand is very good This berry has
