NEW YORK COTTON FUTURES
NEW ORLEANS COTTON

NEW ORLEANS May 25.-An irregular
market prevailed in cotton today, July be-
ing much stronger than the new crop
months especially in the second half Of
the session. the irregularity being EN-
phasized on the close, when prices were
points up to 20 points down. net for the
day. July was supported by claims of a
strong spot demand. while new crops ap-
peared to be under some little pressure
from realizing longs, which prevented
them from responding to unfavorab BILE
weather news and low crop condition
report.
The day was a series of small ups and
downs. with no very definite trend being
established at any stage. except that after
mid session the new crops were inclined
to sag. Fluctuations moved the market
from advances of 10 to 20 points over yes
terday's close to declines of s to rs points
under. July sold high as 1880 and
as low 27.03c: October sold as high as
&4.40c and as low 23.s4c.
Wet weather here and there in the belt
and prospects of more unsettled weather
to come and private condition figure of
go per cent of normal caused early gains
of 10 to 20 points. Highest levels of the
day on the new crops were reached at
this time. but July did not make its high
until later in the morning. Later the
whole list became unsettled. but July held
much steadier than the new crop posi-
tions.

Cotton Market Higher
During The Last Week

NEW YORK. May 25.-The cotton
market has been higher during the
past week owing to increasing I'M
easiness over the new crop start
and a reconsideration of the statis-
teal position, in the light of a pos
sible disappointing yield for next
season. The advance was promoted
by the prompt stopping of additional
premium over July which was
taken to mean that desirable cotton
in the old crop carry-over would not
go begging, and the strength of the
maturing contracts was naturally
reflected by the summer position.
July sold up to 24.47, making a re-
covery of nearly four cents a pound
as compared with the low price
touched on May 10, while October
contracts sold about 90 cents above
the recent low level during today's
trading. There was some slackening
of demand at the end of the week
and a disposition to take profit on
long contracts which caused some
irregularity but the undertone was
considered steady. There have been
six of the private end May crop re-
ports published so far, with the
condition figures ranging from 81
to 1913 and averaging about 10 COM
pdTeQ with an OIllCldl Ten year aver
age of 1876 for May %. Crop indica-
lions figures accompanying these
condition reports have ranged from
11.250,000 bales up to 12.640.000, but
people who make a close study of
such matters believe that the out
side figures were based on last
years par value of the condition of
100, while 1t Is reported that this
years pars will be considerably low
err. Local bulls. however. seem to
feel that their position Is supported
by any crop prospect of below 49,
600, 900 bales. owing to the exhaus-
ton of the worlds reserve supplies
of cotton and the fact that buyers
will be dependent upon the coming
crop for next seasons requirements
The reassuring statement of the
federal reserve board regarding the
soundness of the general situation,
doubtless contributed to the adj
vance, an indication that the dan
gers of initiation had been avoided
but buying was probably checked to
some extent toward the end of the
week by talk of increasing mill
curtailment. No change of impor-
lance has been reported in goods

PRICES CONTINUE
TO POINT UPWARD
IN CURB TRADING


NEW YORK. May 25.Influenced by
the better tone on the big board"
prices continued to point upward on
the trading In the curb today. Short
covering operations accounted for
the rise in many instances but
traders generally were optimistic.
Chief interest was centered in the
oils, all OF the Standard Oil issues
registering good gains and many of
the Independent oils showing brisk
advances. Maracaibo rose to 261z
new high for the year. Southern
Pennsylvania Oil was up points
and Magnolia Petroleum jumped 6.
Standard Oil of Kentucky led that
group with gain of IN.
Professional traders made several
efforts to beat down the motors, blu:
had little success, most of these
stocks closing at slightly higher
levels. Stutz gaining a point despite
publication of it's 1922 report show
ing loss slightly in excess of the pre-
vious year. Durant Motors, which
have been advancing steadily for
several days fell off point closing
at SAY. u.
Trading was quite brisk in the
mining group and prices stiffened
considerably as a result.
