PRICES STEADIER
IN CLOSING HOURS
OF COTTON MART

NEW YORK, June 4.-The more
favorable weather and crop advices
seemed to completely outweigh
more bullish reports from Liverpool
during today's earlier trading in the
cotton market. After selling off to
2270c for October contracts, or 55
points net lower, however, prices
turned steadier on covering which
was promoted by the possibility of
relatively firm cables again tomor-
row and private reports of renewed
rains in some eastern belt sections.
October rallied to 23.30e, making
net advance of 5 points, and closed
at 23.06c. with the general market
closing steady at net advances OF
10 points on old crop positions but
13 to 10 points net lower on the more
active new crop months.
The market opened weak at an
advance of Is to % points on near
months which were influenced by
the cables and the increased Liver
pool spot sales. Later months were
Is to 81 points lower, owing to the
favorable weather map, however,
and the market was very unsettled
during the morning rs result OF
further liquidation, local and south
ern selling. July was relatively
steady on Liverpool buying, presum-
ably to undue straddles, but eased
off to 26.65c or 65 points net lower.
New crop months showed net losses
Of AZ to 55 points. with December
selling off to 2240c. on an idea that
showers reported in the southwe st
and the clearing weather with high
er temperatures in the east repre-
scented most ideal conditions.
The market firmed up during the
early afternoon on covering, some
trade buying of July. and scat
tering demand promoted by reports
that rainy weather was appearing in
Georgia. July sold up to 26.15c, or
"a points of Saturdays closing
quotations, but these bulges Were
not fully maintained and bearish
sentiment was still more or less in
evidence late in the afternoon. Liv-
erpool cables reported spot sales of
$4,000 bales, including 1000 Ameri-
can, representing the largest bust
ness in some weeks. Exports today
were 16,09S bales, making 4,46l,l97
so far this season. Port receipts,
2,124. United States port stocks
367.034.

centered in few individual issues

under negotiation with the Pan-Amer-
lean and Royal Dutch companies.

Spouse to the signing of the dollar
gas bill by Governor Smith. Marine

new lows on the passing of the pre-
ferred dividend. and the poor 1922

Just before the close a buying
demonstration was staged in such
low priced rails as Rock Island,
Southern Baltimore and Ohio, Pere
Marquette, Pittsburg and West Nlr-
ginia and ST. Louis and Southwestern
Common and preferred, d few of
or more. Union Pacific, up -, was
one of the strong spots of the invest
ment list.
