COTTON MARKETS.
| NEW YORK. July 5.-There was re-
newed liquidation in the cotton mar
ket at the reopening today. Private
wires reported good rains in the south
west over the holiday. which encour-
aged the bearish sentiment that had
developed toward the end of last week,
and first prices were 48 to SO points
lower, with October selling at 24.20 and
January at 2424 on the call. making a
decline of fully $50 to 294 points from
recent high records The early wealth
err map failed to show anywhere nearly
as much rain as suggested by private

| by covering shortly after call. with the
market showing rallies Of 20 or 80
points toward the middle Of the morn

nervous and unsettled.
Futures opened irregular; July, 2A90;
October, 24.5o; December, 24.25; Janu-
airy, 2427; March, 24.60.
| The volume of business tapered OF after
the first hour and the market was frmer
late in the morning owing to uncertainty
as to whether rains in the southwest
had been sufficient and expectations Of a
bullish weekly report from the weather
bureau at midday. October contracts rail-
lied to 2463 and January to 24S4. or back
to within IS points of Tuesdays closing
figures. At this level. however. the mar
| ket hesitated. and after the publication of
/ the weekly report, which read more favor
ably than otherwise. prices eased off
again under renewed pressure and resell
