COTTON BUSINESS is SMALL;
DROUGHT STILL HURTS CROP
Low Temperature in West Also
Against Big Yield

NEW YORK, May 13.--Smaller con-
sumption figures for April than had been
expected prevented a full response to
Llverpool's strength on the Cotton Ex'
change this morning. The opening tone
was steady, however, with prices to y
points higher. Business was on COM
paratively small scale on the call, with
the buying by Liverpool of the late
options practically the only feature.
Later, however, Wall street liquidation
and a resumption of the bear attack took
prices down Q to points from the start.
There has been no relief from the
drought in the cotton belt, and, although
temperatures were higher in some sec.
tlons, they were still too low in the
West.
Liverpool came n to 21a points higher,
as against losses of n to 6h points ex-
pected.
The early selling from Wall street and
commission house sources carried prices
down to about the final levels of yester-
day, when the appearance of trade de-
mand and covering by local shorts prompt
ed a rally of a half-dozen points. Bus-
ness, as a whole, was not active, and the
operations suggested no change in sent-
ment regarding the ultimate course of the
market.
The official forecasts indicated con-
tinuation of clear, warm weather for the
entire belt during the next SO hours.
The receipts of cotton at the ports for
the day were estimated at $4,000 bales,
compared with 11,S07 bales last week and
27,553 bales last year.

CONSUMERS IN EUROPE AFTER

Export Demand Far From Satisfed-Domest;c M,
uuiet-Trading Quiet on Local Stock Excharsa icy
With Irregular Changes 80

Although some of the leading steel
manufacturers report the market quiet
with regard TO domestic demand, there
are others who say the Inquiries from
abroad are Of sufficient proportions to
keep things cumming" for some time.
European consumers are after more than
25O, 900 tons of various products, it ls
stated, and these orders are likely to be
closed soon with indications that the ex-
port demand is far from satisfied
Domestic users Of steel have apparent
ly taken care of their requirements for
some time ahead, and II is not likely that
a resumption of buying will be witnessed
until the various manufacturing concerns
which buy steel receive orders from their
customers for articles which contain steel
or iron.
Several steel-makers attribute the
smaller demand here to the fact that the
railroads especially have been rather
out of the market. Steel rail, locomotive,
car and track material purchases within
the last week or 10 days have fallen OF,
