new YORK COTTON
SHOWS WEAKNESS

NEW YORK, July 23.-Clearing
weather conditions in the south with
their suggestion of more favorable crop
developments over Sunday led to a
selling movement from southern
sources today which weakened the
cotton market Is to 16 points during
the forenoon, December going to 1000
a10.32 and January 1903.
The opening was barely STEADY at
a decline of to 10 points and support
from Wall street and trade circles was
not sufficiently liberal to absorb the
week end unloading so that@apart from
occasional brief upturns during which
December advanced to 1912, the mar
ket was under bearish influences
pretty much all the forenoon. 1t was
evident from the action of the market
that the activity in the dry goods
quarters including sales of 10000
pieces in the Fall River print cloth
market and the bullish week end fig
ures had been pretty we'll discounted
and with the public not inclined to
trade. until after the government re-
port has given a line on the extent Of
boil weeviI damage there was but
little opposition to the declining trend
of prices.
It was noted that the May premium
over March had widened out TO six
points whereas early in the week buy
ing Of March against sales of May,
amounting possibly to as much as 40
600 bales, at one time narrowed the
difference between these months to
one point On all weak spots during
the past week, the trade has been a
consistent buyer of cotton on small
scales reflecting the improved situa-
ton in the goods market. A number
OF private crop reports are due next
week and while it was not expected
they would confirm the bearish fig
ures put out by a southern crop re-
porting agency on Friday traders were
not so confident Of bullish returns as
they were before the latter report was
issued when it was believed that the
boil weeviI ravages would have con-
siderable effect upon condition figures.
