New York Cotton
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, July 2S.-A slight
early decline on private reports Of
showers in Texas was followed by
rallies in cotton today on trade buy
ing and week end covering influenced
by an unfavorable view of the weather
outlook and the action Of wheat and
stocks. December contracts after SELL
ing off to 1892, rallied to 1905 and
closed at 1904 with the general mar
ket steady at net advances of to 8
points
Liverpool cables failed to bring in
much buying at the start and the
opening was easy unchanged to 6
points lower on the private reports
of showers at some points in North
and Northwest Texas. October sold
off to 1890 and March to 1910 un-
der the initial pressure, which was
attributed chiefly to liquidation.
Much doubt was expresses, however.
as to whether the showers in North
Texas had been sufficient to ma
terially help the crop and the mar
ket soon steadied on trade buying.
This was encouraged by the Official
forecast, which was regarded as hold
ing out little hope of more general
rains in the Southwest. october sold
up to 1894 and March to 1928, or
about to 9 points net higher and
about Z to IA points above the low
levels of the morning. Closing quo
tations were within a point or two
of the best for the day.
Some Of the buying during the
morning was attributed to expecta-
tions of low private condition and
crop figures next week. while private
reports of crop damage continued to
reach here from some sections of the
Southwest. General business was
quiet and offerings were light after
the early selling had run its course,
with the market responding to COM
paratively small buying orders. The
amount of cotton on shipboard await
ing clearance at the end of the week
was estimated at $4,000 bales against
10000 last year and 10000 two
years ago.
Today's range of prices is shown

Drastic Control
Of Margins Seen
In Market Break
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, July 2s.-An-
nouncement that the Stock Ex-
change was gathering data on
margins for the Federal Reserve
Board, which was given power
over margins in the Federal
security exchange control bill, re-
minded brokerage house custom
ers of one reason why margin
calls went out so promptly when
the market broke.
Formerly brokerage houses
were inclined to be a little
lenient on bad market breaks,
recognizing that the chances
favored a rebound from the
depths and relying upon the
probty Of customers they knew
well to make good in a pinch.
Now the stock exchange regu-
lations require margins on debit
balances to be kept at so per
cent fer accounts over that.
Under the Federal control
measure. 1t Is expected that mar
gins will be more stringent and
that margin clerks will be quick
on the trigger, as they were this
week, to keep customers equities
up to requirements.
