COTTON IS DOING WELL
Newly Planted Crop Showed Condi.
ton May Is of 80 Per Cent
of Normal.

The newly planted cotton crop OF the
United States showed a condition Of

pares with 14.3 May 25 last year, 7e.1
in 1913. 7s.9 in 1912. in 1911 and 1876
| the average for the past ten years on
May 25.
Until the official report of the gov
ernment estimating the area planted is
issued July ] no calculation will be
made by the department crop ex-
perts as to the probable size OF the
crop. The record yield last season.
the decreased foreign takings because
of the war, and the low price OF cot

their planting to some extent. No Of
fetal reports as to the extent of the
reduction have been made. but unof-
fetal estimates place the area planted
at from 10 to 20 per cent less than
last year. The preliminary estimate OF

NEW YORK, June 1.-The cotton
market opened barely steady at de-
cline of to II points today in re
sponse to scattering liquidation. The
relatively easy ruling of Liverpool,
combined with uncertainty over polit-
ical conditions; the easier tone of the
stock market. and expectations that
the government crop report at midday
would show a condition slightly above
the ten-year average. no doubt &C
counted for the selling movement
Offerings. however, were far from ag-
gressive and the market steadled

the condition so per cent, against 14.3

age, was followed by a bulge of or 9
points in prices on covering by recent
sellers, who had expected slightly high

cal bulls. 1t failed to stimulate any
general business. however, and prices
later eased back 3 or points from the
