Cotton Market Opens
 Steady and Advances

New York. Aug. 14 P-The cot- ton market opened steady today at an advance of 12 to 21 points on higher Liverpool cables and appre- hensions that the tropical storm would cause further heavy rains in the eastern belt.
 Considerable cotton for sale around the opened prices was ab- sorbed by an increasing demand. which sent the market about 27 to 31 points net higher by the end of the first hour. December selling up to 1852.
 The bulk of the buying was at tributed to covering. but reactionary sentiment inspired by the extend of recent declines was more in evidence and appeared to be encouraged by reports of increasing boil weevil in- festation as we'll as by the fear of unfavorable weather in the east.
 Private cables said there had been continental buying and covering in the Liverpool market and Manches- ter reported a slightly better inquiry for cotton cloths from India and China.
