NEW YORK. October 29.-The cotton
market opened steady, with prices 1 to 3
points lower. under heavy receipts, dis
appointing news from the English cotton
market, and absence of outside specula-
tive support Kumors That NELL was
coming out with a twelve-million mini
mum crop estimate and a very bearish
statement caused n number of discour-
aged longs to unload soon after the OPEN
ing. The bear crowd were not slow TO
see their opportunity. and backed up by
European selling orders. hammered the
market vigorously for a time Prices
went off slowly under this pressure. with
the market feverish and fairly active.
The short factions were stimulated also
by favorable weather reports. and news
relating TO harvesting operations.
The market for futures steadied some
what near the close. on covering by
shorts who feared possibly bullish de-
velopments abroad or In the South over
Sunday. At the close the market was
quiet and steady, at net loss OF 10 /
