COTTON MARKETS.

NEW YORK, May 22.-Rising tenn
peratures in the belts brought more
aggressive selling pressure in the
cotton market carry today, and after
opening points higher to 3 lower
prices eased off sharply, May dropping
from 1925 to 31.99 and October from
25.9S to 1887, or IL to IA points un-
der the previous close.
The relative weakness of May was
explained by fears of large tenders
tomorrow. The trade and spot and
commission houses bought at the
opening while the South Liverpool
warehouses; and southwest were
among the leading sellers. Local
sentiment appeared to be more bear.
ish after yesterdays advance and the
more favorable early weather news.
Introduction of heavy Wall street
and commission house buying orders
after 12 o'clock completely Offset
weather improvement and turned the
market upward. May encountered
rather free selling pressure at $3.50,
the mornings high point, but July
advanced to 1855 and October to
1884. or % to SO points net higher.
PROSPECTS for tax reduction and pre-
dictions that the forthcoming govern
ment condition figure would be under
40 accounted for the sudden buying
movement.
