New York Cotton Market

our opening near positions started confident and
advanced in sympathy with Liverpool, but Heavy
selling in evidence In fall months caused the lat.
ter to open at decline of 20 points and the bulk
OF selling was done around figures where excel
lent support was given. Too much importancs
should not be placed In acreage reports coming
out, because first preparations were made when
cotton was $50 TO 200 points higher. and some
abandonment may be looked for with prices at
present levels
Cotton is easy On liquidation sales and fewer
buyers. Norden's preliminary crop report makes
the increased acreage As. with planting four
days earlier than last year and the outlook excel
lent. Miss Giles estimates the increased acreage
at AZ, with conditions generally favorable
Spot cotton closed quiet, 10 points lower. Mid
