Thursday's Closing Quotations New York, July 27.

Cotton prices early declined on lower Liverpool cables and speculative, southern hedge and foreign selling, with liquidation much in evidence. Later, the market rallied mildly on covering, some Wall Street buying and a good export demand. However, renewed liquidation turned ihe market nervous and irregular, and, at the close, quotations ranged from 7 to 12 points down, compared with yesterday's close.

Trading in the rubber market was rather mixed. After early ruling steady, prices moved lower on liquidation and switching. However, some buying appeared at the lower levels. Closing quotations ruled from 5 to 7 points down.

Better Liverpool and Winnipeg advices, unfavourable Weather reports and good mill buying sharply extended yesterday's gains in the Chicago Wheat Pit today. At the final bell, prices closed from 1% to 1% cents up.
