the cotton belt led to tears of possible
frosts in the eastern States o-nignt. me
market started steady IN tone, with
prices points higher TO points lower,
this being a favorable opening consider
ing the unsatisfactory character OF Liver
pool cables and the heavy port receipts.
Before midday January had been pushed
to lO.11, and still later rose to 1U.lo on
a bad scare OF shorts. together with brisk
investment buying, latter based on the
belief that to-morrOWS Government re-
port Will show the lowest average crop
condition on record. Whereas Europe
sold on the first call, cable orders later
called for the purchase OF liberal amounts
OF January and March cotton.
Prices were sustained by pessimistlc
crop accounts, higher prices for spot cot
ton IL the South and better class OF
adVIceS from spinning centres. Prospects
of further rains in the Atlantic States
had some effect. Some holders took pro-
nus in the last hour, under which selling
the market went OF to about the opening
figures and closed steady, with august
points lower and other months unchanged
