The cotton market opened steady, with
nrires 3 to 4 points higher. on demand
from shorts and leading longs: Oullsh
sentiment thrived on firm English cables
claims from the South that spot cotton
waa held at stln higher prices. and as
surauces i'm the shape or figures that
cotton was not coming into sight I'm the
volume expected. The half-holiday and
Saturday adjournment interval served as
affcrdlng caution against too confident
trading by outsiders. and comparatively
few orders were received from them
through the usual channels. Wall street
unloaded small amounts all the forenoon,
this cotton being eagerly picked up Dy
beIated shorts and the foreign c0ntln-
gent. The market for futures closed
barely steady. with prices net to 10
points lower.
