NEW YORK COTTON
The market continued to lack any fresh features. Export de- mand was very slow. Crop news is favourable. Further Southern selling and straddle' selling on narrower Liverpool differences was noted. Heavy arrival, were in evidence. Some quarter's opinion holds that in" view
of the present favourable weather condi- 818.70 tions, the movement of Cofton will go into normal channels as $7.40, long as it exceeds the new loan price, and that only a short crop $8.70
will justify a further advance, $64

CHICAGO WHEAT ›,
Prices declined in the early session under hedging against new.. crop movement and favourable weather advices. Some professional support was later forthcoming on reports of better export demand, and on the belief that with the constricting effect of the loan and the subsidy, prices may be less forceful on the down side. The Cana- dian market continued to be dull and quiet with undertone easy. Increased pressure of Argentine wheat, persistently favourable crop news, a slow general enquiry, have been the main causes of the easiness.
