New York, June 9.
Trading in the cotton market was fairly active today, with prices advancing on reports of overwet condi-lions prevailing in the Central belt and the comparative steadiness of the southern and spot markets. However, the continual delays in Washington over the Appropriations Bill. and the. easiness of foreign cables, on the whole, confined price fluctuations to a narrow range. Closing quotations ranged from 1 point down to 6 points up, compared with he previous final levels.
Trading in raw rubber futures continued to be featureless. However, some small buying was noticed here and there, and, on balance, the market closed on the upside, with gains of 5 to 9 recorded.
Traders in the Chicago Grain Pit were marking time. Reports of improving weather conditions and the larger Government estimate for Winter Wheat restricted operations. However, losses were only fractional, and the market closed from 1 to cent down.
