NEW YORK. May THE cotton mar
ket opened at decline of 3 to II points
today in response to lower Liverpool
cables with July selling at 1885 and
however. was firm, and prices soon
rallied on a renewal of peace talk. and
feeling that beneficial rains in the
south had been accompanied by tenn
peratures too low to promote immedi-
ate growth. July sold up to 1859 and
October to 1880 before the end of the
first hour. or about to points net
higher.
Futures opened steady: May, 1850:
July. 1895; October 1856: December.
1874: January. none.
The favorable western belt forecast
checked the early rally and prices
eased back to nearly the opening fig
ures, but steadied- later on the low tenn
peratures shown by the detailed wealth
er reports. Trading continued quiet
around midday with July holding in the
neighborhood of 1853 and October
1915, or about 2 to points net higher.
