COTTON.
New York, Feb. 19-Today's operations
in cotton futures were something over
COO 0O bales. while Quotations bw turns
favored both factions with the bulls hav-
ing rather the better position at the close.
Belief that the market had declined far
enough for the present that the weak
long interest had been totally eliminated
and that shorts had sold themselves to a
standstill, led to brisk buying for a reac-
ton at the opening Bullish Liverpool
cables and smaller receiDts South helped
tons4fe6ufage general buying. The market
on this support started firm in tone with
prices unchanged to seven points higher.
The foreign representatives figure as fair
purchasers of the May and July options
on the initial rise pit bears sold. The
firmness cane to an end and pronounced
weakness DEVELOPED under a turn in the
Liverpool news and a sudden lull of out
side support Liquidation of March on a
large scale set in and selling for fresh
break was INDUCED in freely Prices de-
clined rapidly under this pressure; at
midday the weak long interest appeared
10 have been totally unloaded. while the
market gave every symptom of being
oversold. Covering set in and prices i'm
proved accordingly. The official reports
from Southern snot markets proved that
holders we're not seriously frightened by
the recent weakness here and were in q
position to follow any uplift. Estimates
for continued light receipts at the uorts
!; rather bullish semi-weekly interior
town statement and commission orders
all helped to place the market in q
healthier position. By mid afternoon
higher prices were again in vogue with
later variation indicating further general
Improvement The nervousness of shorts
increased as the market advanced. until
buying for this account easily overtopped
that for all other purposes.
The market was finally steady with
prices net five points higher.
