The market was quietly steady. NEW YORK COTTON: Although continued inactivity of the mar- ket will probably last for sometime pending the Government Bureau report on August 8, and the approaching loan announcement, our opinion for May contracts to attain to 10-cents remains unchanged. CHICAGO WUEAT: The movement of Winter wheat is diminish- ing. The insufficiency of subsoll moisture for the Fall plowing and Shanghai Exchange seeding and the tightness of cash position are the coming market factor
