NEW YORK, August l9-While trading
was not particularly active to-day, tho
cotton market showed quite wide range
OF fluctuations. The opening call de-
veloped steady feeling, with first sales
at an advance OF 3u5 points over the
final figures of yesterday. Shorts were
the principal buyers, being driven In by
| reports of damage TO the crop, by fur
Their rains during the past twenty-four
| hours. Moderate buying for European
| account added to the tirmer ruling OF the
market for a time. Later. however, de-
| mand from shorts ceased, and buying for
foreign interests being satisfied. the mar
ket showed symptoms OF easing off. The
bear faction was not slow to see their
advantage, and sold vigorously. with the
result that by midday the early gain
had been supplanted by a loss OF lg2
points. Speculation Jagged in the after.
noon, and variations In quotations were
comparatively insignificant. The late
market was quiet, with prices steadier
steady at a net gain of lq2 points.
