29 to 80 Point Gain
Made Early; Selling
Is Ineffective

NEW ORLEANS, July 2e.-CP-
The cotton market opened steady in
response to higher Liverpool cables
than due and first trades showed
gains Of 10 to 20 points.
Some selling developed but was
readily absorbed by purchasing in
duced by the general rains wei the
belt. October sold up to 2O.2s, De-
cember to 2O.22, and January 20.ls,
or % to SO points above yesterdays
close.
Towards the end of the first hour
the market continued firm with
prices still tending upward.
The market continued TO advance
during the morning under buying
stimulated by continued talk OF
weevil infestation as well as BY the
firmer technical position and the
oversold condition Of the market. At
the highest October SOLD at 20.35, De-
cember 20.30 and January 20.23, or
81 TO 80 points net up.
Towards mid-session some profit
taking by recent buyers caused a re-
cession of Z to 8 points but the under
tone remained steady.

advance of 10 TO IS points in re-
Spouse 70 relatively firm Liverpool
cables, with probably a little selling
on reports Of rains in the eastern
belt. The rains in the southwest
were considered favorable. however,
and the advance met heavy ~realiz-
ing, together with local and south
ern selling.
October. after selling up &c 20.52
at the start, or about % points net
higher, eased off s or 9 points from
the best with the market compara-
lively quiet and steady at the end
of the first hour.
Realizing sales attracted by the
initial advance were readily absorbed
and the market advanced on contin-
ued covering or ~rebuying by recent
sellers influenced by reports of in
creasing boil weevil infestation in
Alabama and a-pprehensions that the
eastern and central belts were get
ting too much rain. October sold up
to 20.94, with the general list showing
net advances of about 81 to 80
points. The demand tapered off
somewhat at this level and the mar
ket was q~uieter at midday with pric-
es showing reactions Of a few points
