New Orleans . . . 3,800 to 4,'500 916 i ,'alYe-iton 2,000 to 3,000 1,855 The early strength in the market was attributed to short covering by Wall Street operator?. This buying was based upon the failure of the map to show rains. The official weathei map showed a few rains in Georgia, the other A Canties and Alabama and much lower temperatures in North Carolina. This caused rather free offerings from the ring and selling by recent buyers, which was saut to be profit-taking. Prices dropped 3 to 5 points from tin* opening range, with the exception of May. which held steady at the opening quotation. It is said those vWio covered short lines during the past few days will put out these short lines again if there are rains in the Eastern belt within the next twenty-four hours. The bears 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 put 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, which shows the lack of moisture '1'exas shows the ef fect of cold nights, but not seriously. During the afternoon session the mnr- I'.et was under - h |. selling pressure, based upon the weather report and May dropped 6 points, July 7.
