The cotton market opened steady with
prices showing a loss Of 3U7 points on
lower Liverpool cables. local speculative
selling. and further small liquidation BY
tired holders. The weakness was also
due to more unfavorable weather condi-
tons In the cation belt. Another weak
feature was report that NELL had
bearish crop report on hand. Selling was
only checked by the low prices at which
good cotton was already selling and be-
lief that a large short interest already
exists. During the afternoon the market
ruled dull and steady. with no, new fea-
lures Of special importance. and the
trading was entirely local. The final tone
was easy with prices showing net loss
Of gall points.
