NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Follow
Early Advance

New York, July 23.-Responding to
further rains in the belt. the cotton
market opened firm this morning ut %
TO 10 points net advance except August,
which was points higher.
Late months sold at new high records
for the present style contracts.
The early advance carried the mar
ket about forty to forty five points net
higher, with all the active new crop
positions selling above the 36c level.
Trading was more active than for some
days past. and the gloomy view of the
crop outlook. combined with the stead
Ter tone of sterling, evidently inspired
good deal of bearish sentiment arou nd
the ring.
The advance was checked BY reaIiz-
ing around 36c for October, however,
ana the market reacted several points
before the publication of the weekly
weather report. This proved more favor
able than expected, and it was not fully
credited by local traders who had been
very bnllishly impressed by the heavy
rains of the past few days. and the
market was somewhat unsettled, al
though offerings were absorbed on com
paratively moderate sctbacks.
After the opening, October sold nm
to 35.o6. or 30 points over last nights
close. followed by reactions to IS. 70
under increased local selling pressure,
attracted by the advance.
