April 29.—The loci! cotton market at the outset this morning wns easier thin eipected on the old crop poll tlons, but about right, according to ca bles, on the new crop months. First prices were 4S6 points lower. Tbo differences were narrowed again by the strength of July and pressure on October and Januaryl The latter waa due to good weather over Sunday and favorable conditions throughout the South today. Bad crop accounts from Georgia, Mississippi and Alabama promoted short covering and bull support and gave the cotton market a strong under tone today. It waa the contention of the bulls that the Crop has lost Its good start, but opposing the damage reports was the more favorable weather In the belt yesterday, and between the two factors the trade was badly mixed. Speculation waa on a somewhat broad er scale. Tenders seemed to be llndlng no weak short Interest during the early session, as there was only ono sale of May during the first few minutes at 9.81, and the Inference was that the large bulls were taking up these no tices as they had those of last Friday. • The near months were steadied by this, and following the call advanced a point or two, while the new crop hung back, owing to better weather and reassuring reports concerning the effect of the re cent cold weather on the crop of the southwest. Private cables from Liver pool reported, heavy continental selling on more favorable weather. Liverpool was 2 1-203 points lower at the hour of the local opening, when due to come 8 to 4 points lower. Spot cotton was 1 point lower on spies of 8,000. At the close the tone was steady, not 3 to 9 points higher than Satur day’s finals. Comparative receipts at all U. 8. ports: Net receipts today .......
