COTTON MARKET
EASES UP A BIT

New York, July 1.-THE cotton mar
ket was easier during today's early
trading. The opening was unchanged
to Is points lower in response TO easier
cables. Trade interests were moderate
buyers, and there was further scat
tering commission house demand, but
the support was much less active than
recently and the decline soon extended
to 34.05c for October and 33.S5c for
January, or rs to IS points net lower.
The weather may showed more favora-
BILE crop conditions and there was scat
tered southern selling on the decline.
Reports that southern authority
made the mid month condition OF the
crop 70, compared with the official end
June figures of 10, stipulated Vie sell
33.76c and January TO 33.50c. or so to 81
points net lower, but Liverpool and
trade interests were buyers on the de-
cline and the market at noon showed
ralies of so to 40 points on covering.
The high temperatures reported in
parts of the southwest and reports from
Washington that trading with Germany
would be permitted under a blanket
license stimulated buying during the
early afternoon. October sold at 34.7Sc,
with active months showing net gains
of 3b to 3S points.

conditionsNover the belt, private con-

night, and fear OF the effects of the
marine strike on exports, caused a
lower range Of values in cotton today.
During the first half-hour of trading
prices lost % to 3S points.
Somewhat better crop accounts kept
the decline going until it amounted to
48 to IS points, but the report that trade
relations with Germany would be re-
sumed at once caused a quick upturn
so that at noon the decline was re-
covered and replaced by rise of IS
to AZ points over the closing level of
yesterday.
