GENERAL BUYING
POWER ABSENT in
COTTON TRADING

NEW YORK, May t. Relatively
steady cables from Liverpool and re-
ports of unsettled weather condi-
tons in the southwest failed to ere
ate any general buying power in the
cotton market today. This was a
disappointment to the remaining long
interest and moderate early advances
were followed by very sharp declines.
July contracts sold off from 26.62c to
26.03c and closed at 26.0Sc, with the
general market closing steady 1882
points net lower on the old crop
months, while later deliveries were
not unchanged to . points there.
The market opened steady 5 points
lower on August, but generally to
10 points higher on the relatively
steady cables. There was some If
regularity right after the call, but
the early offerings were very well
taken and the market showed con-
siderable firmness during the morn
ing. Liverpool was good buyer
here, and there was scattered cover.
ing promoted by private reports OF
rain in the southwest, promulgated
by low temperatures in parts OF
Texas and Oklahoma and talk of a
better tone in Manchester. May sold
up to 27.S8c and October to 24.2Oc,
making net advances or ABOUT 20 10
35 points, but the Liverpool buying
stopped after the close of the Eng
lish market and demand otherwise
seemed to be lacking. The market
resitated in consequence and later
weakened under a renewal OF OLD
long liquidation, southern Wall street
and local selling, The unsettled tone
of the stock market and weakness IN
some of the other markets probably
increased the selling movement in
cotton which many regarded as .ndi-
eating more or less general lack or
confidence in commodity values.
May broke to 27.25c and October to
23.72c, and while demand improved
somewhat as prices reached these
levels, the close was within to 10
points of the lowest on most posi-
lions. There were numerous private
reports of unfavorable conditions In
the southwest, but they seemed to be
without much effect on the after
noon market. Private acreage f1g-
ures were issued pointing to in
creases ranging from SO to 10, per
cent as compared with last year.
