COTTON MARKETS.
NEW YORK, July 11.-Better pros
poets for showers or rains in the south
| west and a rather less hopeful view of
peace probabilities seemed to be re-
sponsible for scattering liquidation in
the cotton market early today. The
| opening was barely steady at a decline
| Of 8 to "a points, with new crop months
| relatively easy. Selling was not par
! ticularly active or aggressive, but there
was very little support in evidence and
prices worked steadily lower during
! the early trading. Before the end Of
/, the first hour October had sold off to
1852 and January to 26.12, or 80 to 43
points net lower. No change was re-
ported in the Liverpool market.
Futures opened barely steady; July,
26.75; October. 26.10; December, 2616;
January, 1928: March, 26.40.
| There was enough covering to cause
| slight rallies during the middle Of the
morning. but the western belt fore
! cast for showers and reports that 1t
was raining in some sections Of Texas
led to increased offerings around mid
i day and the market broke to 1857 for
| October and 1882 for December, or
about Sc to So points net lower.
NEW ORLEANS. July 11.-Prospects
OF rain In the droughty sections of the
western belt caused heavy selling Of
cotton here today. under which prices
fell on 90 to 81 points In the first half
hour of business. Private reports told
Of rain at few points in Texas and
Oklahoma and the official forecast
promised more.
Futures opened steady. July. 1850;
October. 25.15; December. 1888; Janu-
airy. 1852 asked: March, 1856.
The favorable features in the weekly
crop and weather reports from tho gov
eminent increased selling and toward
noon the market was 81 to 81 points
on from yesterdays close.
