COTTON ADVANCES
! TO 3 POINTS
Market Rules Generally Steady,
but Aggressive Offerings
Were Lacking.

The cotton market was quiet yester-
day, but ruled generally steady, closing
at a net advance of to points.
The bullish showing OF the weekend
figures. which were not completed I'M
I'll after the close on Friday, seemed
TO inspire some scattered covering at
the opening. and first prices were un-
changed to points higher. Liverpool,
however. fully met Fridays loca! re-
action, while traders were flvorably
impressed by the early weather map,
and prices sagged of few points dur
ing the middle Of the morning under
realizing. Offerings were by no means
heavy or aggressive, however, and
prices rallied again in the later trad
ing on reports of heavy rains in Okla
homa, which has been complaining Of
excessive moisture. Closing prices
were within n point or two OF the best.
Private cables reported a similar
market in Liverpool. whore prices
closed at a net decline Of 20 So
points. Mail advices recently received
from Liverpool attribute the decline
there TO offerings Of cheap cotton. ex
quay. owing 10 the extreme difficulty OF
securing warehouse room and labor to
handle supplies, even when room Is
obtainable.
The transportation facilities from
Liverpool to the interior seemed 70
be working more freely during the
last week. a indicated by the larger
amount Of cotton forwarded from the
Liverpool stock and If shipments con-
I, tinue at last weeks rate. the situation
may be relieved to some extent by the
end Of this month.
The official forecasts were for gen.
orally fair weather in the Eastern
belt, where warm. dry conditions are
considered desirable; but unsettled
weather was predicted for the Western
belt, with probable showers for Okla
homa and Arkansas. Detailed weather
reports, which began TO come in toward
The close. showed heavy rainfall at
some of the Oklahoma stations, and
part Of the late buying may have been
based upon apprchcnsions OF com
plants from that source next week.
