Collection ratios on open and

from March to April, the Com
merce Department announced.
In the first four months Of
1884 collections were better than
in the like period last year.
Collection percentages in April
were 41.6 per cent on open &C.
counts and 1913 per cent on in.
stallment accounts, against 42.7
per cent and 1873 per cent, re.
Spectively, in March. The decline
in the April ratio is partly &C.
counted for by better than sea-
sonal sales increase. In March
department store sales increased,
which tended to expand the out

collection ratios are computed,
Commerce officials explained.
The data on collection condi.
tons compiled by the department
is based on credit operations Of
approximately 400 department

COTTON PRICES
POINT UPWARD

NEW YORK, June % Q.N.SO.
Abatement Of liquidation of the
July contract combined with a
firmer tone in the grain and stock
markets aided the cotton market
in a recovery movement today.
Cotton futures opened l to 4
points higher or about in line with
Liverpool quotations, closing bids
being figured on the latest ster'
ling rate.
New orleans and Southern sell
ing was light and there was fair
demand apparent from European
sources. Brokers, usually acting
for the Japanese interests, bought.
Liverpool also was on the buying
side.
The improvement in the market
continued as the session pro-
crossed.
Today's better tone in the mar
ket came in the face of weather
conditions favorable to the crop
in the Central and Eastern belts.
There was no rain shown the pre-
vious night and generally fair
weather was predicted for the en-
tire belt, except the Gulf coast,
which was unsettled.
July closed at 1894, up .05;
October, 1922, up .04; December
