COTTON ADVANCES
ON CROP OUTLOOK
British Coal Strike Discount.
ed and Market Rallies
After Drop.


NEW YORK, May 1.-The unfavor'
able British labor news was reflected
by a moderate decline at the opening
Of the cotton market today, but raj
lies followed, July selling up from
1910 to 1925 and closing at lS.22.
The general market closed steady at
net advances Of 3 to 9 points.
The market opened steady at de-
cline of 2 to s points under liquida'
ton by recent buyers and some
Southern or local selling which was
probably inspired by the weakness OF
Liverpool and the British labor
troubles. Offerings were by no means
heavy, however, while there appeared
to be sufficient demand to absorb
them around 1856 for May and l7.22
for October.
The market soon steadied and work
ed up on trade buying to fix prices IN
other crop positions, covering OF
shorts, and a moderate commission
house demand for new crop months
May advanced to 1870 and October to
1875. net gains of about to points
on active months. The close was
within 3 or 4 points of the best.
The market acted as if sentiment
had been prepared FOR the British Goa
strike. as the news failed TO bring in
any large volume Of fresh selling. and
contracts appeared relatively scarce
in the forenoon. This was regarded
by local traders as indicating healthy
technical position and the rally was
promoted by apprehensions of un.
settled weather in the Southwest
which some thought might work over
the Central Eastern belts before Mon
day morning.
Talk Of increased exports also may
have been q factor on the rally. as
the amount of cotton on shipboard
awaiting clearance at the close OF the
week was estimated at Ill 900 bales
against $4,000 last year.
Private cables reported hedging with
local and continental selling in Liver
pool due to the labor troubles and that
cloth and yarn buyers in Manchester
were holding off in anticipation OF
lower prices.
