NEW YORK, Dec. % - Hubbard, Price & Co. S
cotton report says: ''Our market opened at a
decline of from to 10 points. Before noon
however, the entire loss had been recovered and
the market was Is points higher than at the
opening. The drop Of prices to-day shows that
with an aggressive leadership it would be very
easy to advances prices. The main difficulty in the
way OF such a movement seems to be that those
who might be believers in its possibility have
already bought their quota and are now waiting
for the developments of the facts upon which
their belief in higher prices is based. Both the
New York and Liverpool market viii be closed
from Friday night until Tuesday morning
During the afternoon the market eased away
slightly, subsequently recovered and finally
closed steady at about 9.SSc for March. g net
improvement of 10 points"
