about steady with prices / pciut higher

scope of variations. On the one hand
cables were still very favorable. The
English news WAS especially strong in
the showing on spot sales, which were
again very heavy On the othei hand.
however, The annual report covering
the cotton acreage issued by the tnan-
cial Chronicle completely upset local
calculations regarding the decrease n
cotton area. placing the average at 800
per cent, while local views bad looked
for a decrease of 6. s and even 10 per
cent. Upon the publication of this re-
port, long cotton came out quite freely
and would have made weak market,
but for the favorable foreign news.
The average of the days news was.
therefore, such as to make shorts un-
easy. but there was no particular de-
mand to cover the bears preferring to
hold off for the Government crop report
