New York Dec THE cotton market
was steady with an advance of SAT points,
cables showing up in better shape than
had been expected, and southern spots be-
ing reported as firmer. For time bust
ness was fairly active, but outside specu-
lative support failed to Justify the expec-
tations and bearish feeling reasserted It
self, with the result Of lower prices. BY
noon the early Improvement had been lost.
Traders were cautious on account of con-
dieting advices from English cotton spin
ming centers regarding the threatened
strike. In the afternoon the market ruled
very quiet and without new feature, clos
ing dull and steady; net unchanged TO
point.
