the conduct Of the market as a whole
went q long way to confirm the judg-

Some disappointment was expressed
during the early trading because Of the
seeming inability to maintain the

was obvious. however, that the pressure
was not Of same urgent type as wit
messed In several of the previous ses-
sions, rather to the contrary, most Of
the selling plainly eminated from the
professional ranks. There was, Of
course, some iutimldated letting go Of
long stocks, but these offerings were
enthusiastically small.
As a result, the attacks OF the reac.

The renewal rate was again fixed at 9

any part in shaping the course OF the
market. Technical influences, as might
be expected. were the real propeling
force. and the over. sold state Of the
market was not fully revealed until the
real recovery movement set in around
noon.
The market showed a firm tone at the
opening, but before the end Of the first
fifteen minutes, became reactionary.
Fresh weakness cropped out In different
sections of the industrial group, but
the real unsettliing element came on

URGE WORLD UNIFORM
COTTON CLASSIFICATION
Universal Standards Would slmp,,y>
Handling Of Important Staple

Liverpool, England, June Ia
Adoption of uniform classification az
cotton for the world was urged TODAY
before the worlds cotton conference by
w. X. Meadows, a member of the dele.
cation representing the United States.
who has charge Of the cotton division
OF the American Agricultural Depart
ment.
Universal standards would not onlv
simplify methods OF handling cotton.
but would tend TO higher standards OF
ethics In the cotton business" said Mr..
Meadows. Knowing definitely what Is
expected OF him, shipper would be
more lkely to make serious effort TO
meet his obligations on shipments By
supplying the grade and staple stipu-
lated in the contract.
"A most important advantage Of uni.
versal standards would be the reduced
number Of arbltrntions that are neccs.
Sarily held in the cotton business each
season. Having the same well -estab.
llshed standards in the hands of both
European buyer and American seller
would facilitate shipments in com
nliance with contracts and, therefore.
1t would not be necessary for the pur-
chaser OF cotton to arbitrate shipments
continually in order to collect claims
for failure to ship according TO speci-
fcations.
by the adoption Of uniformity
throughout the world trading on W.
future exchanges In both Europe and
America will be more nearly on The
same basis, future quotations would be
moro readily comparable and better
hedging facilities would result than
when material discrepancies exist in ths
terms OF the future contracts. As in y
dicat ting the Importance OF cotton 10 In.

COTTON MARKET

New York, June 14.-The cotton
market opened steady at an advance OF
8 10 10 points, influenced by cables from
Liverpool, which we're about weeyll,
especially from the Southwest, and q
stronger tone to foreign exchange. There
was buying BY Wall Street and the
trade, che latter principally in July and
October, and also scattered local cover
ing. Trading as whole was not active,
but prices utter the start ruled about
steady in the absence of pressure. There
was moderate switching from July 10
later deliveries. An Oklahoma telegram
reported a marked improvement in the
crop following recent rains, which were
general over that State.
The receipts of cotton at the ports
for the day are estimated at $4,000
bales, against 1881 bales a week ago,
