NEW YORK, November 2.-The cotton
market developed no broadening specula-
tive interest, and showed considerable
irregularty. After opening steady at a
decline of points, under disappointing
English cables, there was a rally 10 the
closing figures OF yesterday. and SUISSE
quently a net gain OF 2n3 points. The
general course of the market indicated
nervousness on the part OF some OF the
larger shorts, particularly southern par
ties. who had recently been consistent
and heavy sellers.
A demand to cover was a feature Of the
session. There was no particular feature
or new development 70 account FOR the
change in the attitude in this class or
traders. unless ii might have been the
actual buying Of certain importing
houses led by a prominent Philadelphia
concern having branch house at New
York The more timid shorts fell into line
az buyers. and for time the market
showed something Of Old-tme activity.
Prices subsequently eased off, under re-
newed bear pressure. although the selling
attack did not show much courage or
confidence. The reaction from the high
est 10 the lowest price under this move
ment was matter OF some points.
Still later phases Of the market were in
dcative OF aggression on the part OF both
parties NeiPs report did not materially
disturb the market. The close was barely
steady at a gain of 2a5 points.
