Cotton

New low records for the present
movement in the cotton market were
made Yesterday, and although followed
by slight rallies near the close, hnal
prices were still 81 to 70 points under
the close of Saturday. At the lowest
Of the day October was down a points,
representing a decline of over S3.5O
per bale. Much Of the weakness was
due to liquidation inspired by grow
ing belief that the crop is IN FAR better
shape than the trade has been led to
believe from the conflicting character
of crop reports recently in circulation.
This was particularly true in regard to
the eastern belt, where, notwithstanding
further showers, 1t IS claimed that
the crop has made excellent progress,
is well cultivated in many sections and
beginning TO show a good many bolls
on the bottom of the stalks.
Traders who bought at the close Of
last week on the idea that the eastern
belt was getting too much rain were
among the most liberal sellers yester-
day, while the market found that trade
buying, upon which it had relied so
strongly for support last week, was
almost entirely absent. Scattered COW
ering by shorts to secure profits fur
nished about the only purchases during
the day, and prices declined rapidly
for this reason. Selling by Southern
interests was regarded as especially
significant in view of the reported in
crease of new crop offerings from
Texas for August and October ship
ment. strict middling, the former even
with October and the latter rs points
off from October. All of the crop news
from Texas was favorable, as good
rains were reported throughout South
ern Texas yesterday, where the need is
greatest.
Southern mill people reported that
the edge was off the goods market, and
the same was true of reports from
New England points, the government
now being about the only important
buyer July trading was quiet, as it
was understood that the trade in that
contract is practically evened up
Southern spot markets, as officially re-
ported, we're so points lower on most of
the big markets, especially those in the
Southwest, which was considered sig
niicant in view Of the increased new
crop offerings from those points. No
exports were reported to-day, and for
the season thus far they amount to
5,365,162 bales, against 5,9l1,55l last
year.
