These evening-up sales were heavier

mary traders on extcndd holiday trips
Trading was in fairly large volume lor
a summer half-holiday session, the
DAYS sales aggregating 100000 shares.

this week aroused less fear than the

ably because the recent trend OF brokers'

Brokers Loans Drop.
Brokers loans have dropped more
than S400, 900 600 in the last three
weeks. This decline, coupled with eX-
pectations of a huge relnvestment de-
mand next month through the distribu-
ton of more than $500, 900, 900 in divi-
dend and interest payments, has had a
bullish effect on sentiment.
Favorable ever night developments in
the Chrysler- and Studebaker-
Pierce Arrow combinations brought
fresh buying into the motor group.
chrysler ran up more than 3 points to
74La, Mack Trucks climbed 4H to 96l2

NEW YORK. June 30.-Private re-
ports of increasing boil weevil infesta-

early decline in the cotton market to-
day October contracts, which had sold
of from 22.70 to 2248, in early trad
ing, advanced TO 22.76 and closed at
22.74. compared with 22.5l at the close
yesterday. The general market closed
firm, at net advances of 10 to 30 points
The market opened very steady at an
advance OF IA to 20 points in response
to relatively firm Liverpool cables, and
a private crop report placing the con-
dition at 669, the increase in acreage
at per cent and the indicated yield
at Is, 400, 900 bales. This initial advance
met much realizing for over the week
end, accompanied by talk of prospects
for gradually improving weather in the
South. Prices eased off AS soon as initial
buying orders had been supplied, July
declining to 2230 and December to
22.3i, and active months generally
showing net losses Of or points.
The realizing was absorbed around
these figures and the market turned up
ward on less favorable official weather
forecast than some had expected and
private reports of increasing boil weeVil
infestation in the South.
July advanced TO $3.50, while Deem
Der sold up TO 22,59 net gains of % to
80 points. The close was within few
points OF the best.
Trading was fairly active at the open
ing, and again at the close, but tapered
off on the decline during the forenoon,
which was regarded by some traders as
indicating fairly healthy technical
position, or that remaining holders OF
traders we're prepared to carry them
over the week end This view may have
contributed to the advance which fol-
lowed, but factors most generally mem
toned, were the comparatively low end
June condition figures. fear OF tncreas-
ing boil weevil, damage and the rather
unsettled weather outlook
The amount of cotton on shipboard
awaiting clearance at the end OF the
week was estimated at 1850 bales
