At times, tho demand was ex cellent and new high levels for the sea son were established for present deliv eries. Following a dip right after the start on some selling by commission houses. Induced by the belief that tho technical position had been undermined ns the result of yesterday's widespread cover ing movement, prices bounded upward on buying induced by unsettled weather and a further rise In quotations for hogs. Later the tone weakened under heavy selling on reports of Increased offerings from the country and a feeline that a 93.64 93,54 93.64 1 temporary reaction in values from pres- ent levels would bo benellclal. Holders of May sho"ed some anxiety as the re sult of a request by Secretary Mauft for a statement of all contracts exceed ing 25,000 bushels.

Further gains ltere made at the opening ot the cotton exchange with an Increase in bus'ness and bullish sentiment prevailing. Im portant factors connected With the up turn were the sales of 10,000 bales In Liverpool, the heaviest Jn years, and reports that the largest Fall River cloth works would begin full time on Monday, Liverpool was a good buyer here on the call and afterward. The Soutli also bought and there was an increase in commission house business, particularly in new crops, on the Idea that the rains covering Texas today would move into the eastern belt and force further de lay in farm work. With new style May contracts telling at 26o on the early advance, compared with the quotation of 25c for middling cotton In the Norfolk market, there vas evidently a disposition to take profits on recent purchases. This checked the advance and there were reactions later in the morning, with active months selling off 15 or 30 points from recent high levels. There was no change In the general character of the news, however, and the undertone of the market was steady. Receipts at the ports for the day are estimated at 10,000 bales, against 12, 690 bales a week ago and 11,657 bales a year ago, OLD 8TYLB Yest.
