NEW YORK. May 23.-Cotton fu-
lures moved narrowly this week, but
the market made a small gain on
balance.
The final evening up of the May
position at noon yesterday was ac-
complished without much effect on
prices. The demand from May shorts
was supplied by selling attributed to
the pool at prices ranging from about
10.60a10.65.
With May out of the way traders
were watching for any indication as
to the probable policies of the pool,
whose holdings in the July position
are estimated at about $1,000 bales.
Crop advices indicated favorable
progress in most western and central
belt sections following the recent
rains, but there has been considerable
pervousneSs over the situation in the
eastern belt.
Primary cloth markets remained
generally quiet, but little was heard

The market was moderately active

Southern and New Orleans selling was
taken by trade and foreign buying.
There was considerable covering and
trade buying in July, which sold from

hour, or about 4 points net higher.
Later months held fairly steady at
net advances of to points, with
December selling at 1896.
Overnight reports of better busi-
ness in cotton cloth helped the tone.
Private crop reports from the South
west were considered favorable, but
there seemed little prospect for addi-
