Spot cotton steady. with fair de-
mand sales, 1900 including 1900 bales
to arrive. Quotations reduced 1sc.
Futures opened steady, with prices
los points lower, influenced by lower
Liverpool. During the greater part of
the short Saturday session the market
held up wonderfully well under a great
amount of selling. Late in the ses-
sion, however an immense amount Of
cotton was thrown upon the ring. 1t
was thought to come from a certain
prominent bull, and it had the effect
of sending prices down in rather a
sensational manner. December opened
at oslo, advanced to 953c, sold down
to 9.35c and finally gained points to
9.S7c. The market closed quiet, with
net losses of 15@19 points.

ket opened steady at a decline of .
to 4 points. This was rather better
than expected on the cables and good
weather. There was a fair demand
from the covering of weekend shorts
rather than as a result of revived bull
speculation, and Immediately following
the call prices ruled pretty steady,
1luctuating close to the initial fig
ures. New Orleans and Philadelphia
seemed to be selling here. while lower
Wall street and some of the profess
sional bear interests seemed to be
covering. Toward the end of the first
hour the market was less active and
pretty steady in tone with prices at
practically the opening figures.
