low temperatures Northwest. but turned
weak around midscssion under a renewal
OF heavy selling of the new crop deliv-

There was no particular feature to the
trading. Some Of the local spot firms
were liberal buyers Of May In the morn
ing and bulls gave rather ostentstious
support to July, but withdrew when Offer
!ngs became heavy. The demand for the
distant positions WAS scattered but Of good
character. and no weakness was appar-
ent at any time.
Out OF about 10000 bales delivered
o. contract Tuesday Southern spinners
are reported to have taken about $4,000
bales. IL Ia even stated that they stand
ready to take more on next notice day.
In view OF the generally slack demand for
yarns and goods the bullish attitude OF
some OF the big Southern mills has created
a mild surprise. II Is not believed that
