Confronted with several adverse
developments the cotton market
lost a good part of it's recent
gains in today's session, with
losses at the midday mark aver
aging 81 a bale for the various
deliveries.
Weakness in the Liverpool mar
ket, in which cables were from II
to 13 English points lower than
due, equivalent to from "a to 26
American points, was an early un-
settling factor and influenced ini-
tial declines in the New York
market of from 10 to 18 points.
July was under special Equida-
tion. with early selling attributed
to the first notice day on Thurs
day. Continued good crop weather
in the cotton belt also was a
cause for the general disposition
of traders to take profits.

consumption of American cotton
in May at 943, 900 bales, as against
