Cotton made a quiet, but steady, start
at unchanged prices to an advance or
points. From this out variations were
few and far between, with speculative
interest quite Indifferent. The foreign
contingent bought the present crop
months in a conservative way around the
opening, but subsequently gave attention
10 selling the remote new crop deliveries.
Local traders manifested little desire TO
operate one way or the other, in the abb
sence of more than general influence. In
crop accounts from the South the bear
crowd were especially favored: receipts
running full and spot markets ruling
generally inactive, with barely steady
undertOne. European news averaged up
against the longs, Liverpool futures be-
ing reported inactive, with sagglng ten
dency while at Manchester strike was
impending and the outlook generally was
rather gloomy. The reyerse might be
said Of American cloth n. rkets. At FAN
River spinners were vigorously bidding
for supplies OF cloths. but manufacturers
were holding out for shade higher
prices The close was quiet, with prices
net | to points lower.
