LITTLE VARIATION
IN COTTON PRICES
Speculative Trading Was at No
Time Active.
THE OPENING WAS EASY
Occasional Efforts Made to Dislodge
F.. Long Stuff Were Unsuccessful
The Market Finally Clos
ed Steady in Tone
THE OPENING WAS EASY

New York, October 27.-Price variations in
today's cotton market did not exceed G
points, and at no time could trading be
termed active. The speculative hesitation
was due largely to peculiarly conflicting
ideas on the crop subject and as to the out
standing interest, though as to the latter it
was quite generally admitted ON the local
exchange that the investment public held
large amount of January, March and May
delivery staple. The opening was easy, with
prices unchanged to points lower following
disappointing English cables and under for
eign selling pressure
An occasional effort was made later to
dfslodge long stuff, but these endeavorers
were feeble and therefore unsuccessful.
Near the close shorts became nervous the
weekly statistical situation showing up in
very bullish form. A turn to cover sent
prices slowly upward, with the market
hnally steady in tone with prices 2 points
lower to one point net higher.
