New York Cotton

NEW YORK. May ~ R,,-After losing
ton prices in the domestic market subse-
quently turned somewhat hrmer. At the
close OF trading on Friday active futures
contracts on the New York Cotton Ex-
change were down / to 40 points from
the week previous. The sharpest net
decllne was recorded by the nearby July
delivery.
Early easiness of the market reflected
hedge selling and general liquidation in
nuenced by continued slow business in
Southern spot markets and in the goods
:, The hrmer tone Of the market toward
the close Of the. week was attributed
chiefly to technical consider atoms. Mean
while, some buying was influenced by the
report that the Army quartermaSter was
IN the market for 10 million square yards
q uniform cloth and by the report that
the Export Import Bank had authorized
credit Of $40 million to France to be
used for the purchase Of American cotton.
Toward the close of the week a New
York Cotton Exchange Service Bureau
issued a report in which 1t estimated
domestic consumption Of all cottons during
the hye:week period from March 80 to
May 3 has appropriated $4,000 bales
as against $4,000 in the previous four
week period and 986.OOO in the compar-
able 5-week period last year.
SO far this season total exports .ap-,
proximate 5,0S3.00O. bales, as against
3, 100000 to the same time last season.
