Firm cables, coupled with bullish weather reports, caused an upturn of from 3 to 4 points at the opening of the cotton market to- | day. After the call, however, traders sold and in consequence of the orders, most of which came from profit-takings, the list dropped several points Sentiment was mixed. . The early strength In the market wa- attributed to short covering hy Wall Street operators This buying was based upon the failure of the rnap to show rains. The official weather map showed a few rains in Georgia, the other Atlantic* and Alabama and much lower temperatures in North Carolina. This caused rather free offerings from the ring and selling hy recent buyers, which was said to ne profit - taking » Prices dropped 3 to 5 points from the opening I with the exception of Mas. which held steady at the opening quotation. ft Is said those who covered short lines during the past few days will put out these short lines again if there are rains In fhe Eastern belt within the next twenty-four hours The hears ex press the belief that the dry May makes it apparent that the crop will have a good start and they are not inclined to pul much confidence in the talk of dam age of the excessive dry weather. The weekly weather report Issued at noon was construed as bearish, with the exception of Georgia, \vhich shows the lack of moisture. Texas shows the ef* feet of cold nights, but not seriously. During the afternoon session the mar ket was under* heffvy selling pressure, based upon the weather report and May dropped 6 points, July 7, October 8, De cember 9 and January 7 points from the Initial level. The buying was light and scattered.
