RAINS AND DOUBTS OF EARLY
PEACE MAKE COTTON SELL
Mill Buying Absorbs Offerings of Wall
Street and Commission Men

NEW YORK, May 22.-Heavy liquda-
ton on rains in the central portions OF the
cotton belt and because of less confidence
of peace in Europe was the feature at the
openinE on the Cotton Exchange this morn
ing.
There was considerable short covering
and some Southern interests bought every
option on the list Wall Street and COM
mission houses were sellers, but mill buying
absorbed the offerings on q rather good
scale.
May started points higher. but other
options were unchanged to points lower,
with the tone easier Considerable signlf-
cance was attached to the fact that July
and October started at 12.06c. and held at
the same levels all through the first 10
minutes OF business.
The early offerings were well enough
taken to steady prices around l3O2c. for
July and l3.03c. for October Trade inter-
est seemed to be buying, while there was
some covering of shorts, but the demand
was by no means aggressive and the market
turned easier again after IL O'Clock under
renewed liquidation and scattering pres
sure.
Stop orders were uncovered as July broke
through the lac. level and prices soon broke
TO a net loss of some IL to 10 points. There
seemed TO be no fresh news factor, but the
favorable view of weather conditions and
the pessimistic feeling as TO peace pros
poets seemed to be bringing In more or less
commission house liquidation.
The receipts of cotton at the ports for
the day were estimated at 10000 bales
compared with 25,016 bales last week. 49,
66S bales last year and s0ss bales In 1914.
