Private calbes reported that a prominent Eng fish authority estimated the reduction in acreage at less than half of one percent and said that the crop had made a poor start but that an aver age yield was not yet impossible.
 The early break carried October off to 23.92 and December to 24.03c with active months under last nights cols- ing gures. It seemed that immediate offerings had been pretty well absorb ed at this level with the market be- coming less active and later firming up on covering while there was also a renewal of trade buying. By midday October had rallied to 24.39c or within | 6 points of last nights close.

New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, June 15.--1'he open ing of the cotton market here today was irregular, with the strongest months showing an advance of 2 to 3 points, but other months at decline under the influence of poor Liver pool and trade circular claiming an increase in acreage of less than one half of one per cent. After the call there was sharp break which amounted to 2S to 39 points on the most active months.
 The continued drought in Texas and bullish comment and fresh buying made it's appearance. Low temper ature in the northern portion of the belt also attracted attention. The mar ket firmed up, recovered the early loss and toward noon stood 2 to 6 points over yesterdays close.
 A dull feeling settled on the market in the afternoon and prices sagged under it. At 1:30 the trading months were , to points under the final figures.
