NEW YORK, October S1.-Opening
steady at unchanged prices TO 1-point
decline, the cotton market ruled to some
extent irregular, with decline OF 3Gi
points apparent at the weak interval.
Pressures were numerous, including un-
satisfactory cable accounts port receipts
equal to, If not exceeding, estimates, ad-
vices from the South indicating anxiety
on the part of spot holders, and some
disposition to retreat on the part OF ex-
porters; a withdrawal OF investment de-
mand, and crop accounts conflicting.
Notwithstanding these claims, the mar
ket yielded stubbornly. Some disposition
to cover short contracts caused rev
partial rallies. The general temper OF
traders was pessimistic, however, owing
to the almost entire lack of speculative
interest. Very few orders reached the
market, either for buying or for selling
cotton. The fact that spot sales at
Liverpool have increased TO 1900 bales
is regarded by some as substantial In
dication that English spinners will re-
main active buyers for some time to come.
During the afternoon the market here
dragged, in the absence of additional
news influences, rallying a little, but
closing steady at a net decline of gas
points.
