market opened steady today at an ad-

selling about to 12 points above yes
terday's closing figures by the end of
the first hour on light demand, at
tributed largely to covering.
Uncertainty as to the weather out
look in the Eastern belt may have pro-
Ioted local buying, but the market was
very quiet and narrow enough to be
influenced by comparatively small Or
ders either way.
Liverpool cables reported liquidation
and realizing on better weather, with
London and continental buying on the
decline. Manchester advices reported
more cloth sales for China, but that
business with other outlets was poor.
The market showed increasing firm-
ness toward noon on covering and some
fresh buying prompted by continued
nervousness over weather conditions IN
the Eastern belt and reports that boil
weevn were already beginning to appear
on young cotton in early sections. July
sold UP to 2l04, with the active months
showing net advances of 16 to 26 points
