COTTON MARKET
ADVANCE DUE TO
SHORTS COVERING

NEW YORK, May 17.-Rallies In
the cotton market today were at
tributed largely to covering by near
month shorts on reports of an I'M
proved spot demand and rather more
encouraging, advices from the goods
trade. The market was lower early
because of the better weather and
disappointing cables, but after selling
off to 24.S4 or 3S points net lower
July rallied to 1856 or "a points net

with the general market closing
steady 8 to 81 points net higher on

10 points net lower on October and
later deliveries.
The market opened easy IL to 30
points off and prices soon showed
net losses of about So to 40 points

map showed very little rain in the
south with more seasonable tempe

southern selling here and some
further near month liquidation due
to the issuance of additional notices
for about $500 bales. Offerings of
May were soon absorbed, however,
and the market turned firmer on the
talk Of a better spot demand which
was said to come from both domestic
and foreign buyers. The western
belt forecast for unsettled and show
cry weather was disappointment
to some of the early sellers, which
doubtless accounted for part of the
covering while buyers were given a
little more confidence by appearance
of better tone in the stock market.
May advanced to 1913 or As points
net higher. and new crop positions
showed net gains of IA to Is points
during the middle of the afternoon,
with October selling at 23.4S. The
advance was checked by realizing,
and closing prices showed reactions
of II to % points and there was more
selling of new crop deliveries late in
the afternoon on the favorable de-
tailed weather reports. The advance
in May was accompanied by rumors
that less cotton was coming here

pected, but the trading in that posi-
ton was comparatively quiet. Elk
