Cotton showed unexpected weakness
yesterday. and while the net change was
small rather poor showing might have
been made had 1t not been for a belated
rally In May and general steadiness of
the new crop months. July lost about 10
points
II is estimated that about so. 600 bales
were rendered on May contracts yester-
day. The leading spot interest issued
most OF the notices. although quite a lot
\ came out from scattering sources There
was some gossip to the effect that the
interests who rendered cotton We're rather
reluctant to do So but a group OF South
erh mill interests had made arrangements
10 take up notices and did not hesitate
10 let IL be known that they would de-
mand the cotton. One house is said 10
have accepted delivery on II 900 bales for
southern mills, and the total taken up
ny these spinners Is said TO have been
about 10000 bales. II is still uncertain
however, as TO when this cotton will be
shipped out of the local stock.
Inc issuance of the notices had a more
or less depressing effect upon the mar.
ket. especially the near positions The
new crop months were generally steady
on account OF heavy rains in Texas. The
precipitation in Texas, Oklahoma, Arkan.
sas and Louisiana was rather general
and in some instances quite heavy. In
fact advices from all sections west Of the
Mississippi with the exception Of Okla
homa. put the crop AS quite late.
The weekly weather report was some-
what more favorable than had been ex-
pected. The general view had been that
u would lay great stress on low tempera-
lures. but the average temperatures re-
ported were somewhat above normal The
Eastern belt is getting Just about the
sort Of weather 1t needs. and II dry.
warm conditions should prevail over the
rest of the belt in the next few weeks
the crop outlook would be considered ideal.
