COTTON MARKETS.
NEW YORK.

NEW YORK, October 2S.-Throughout
most of the forenoon cotton exhibited con-
siderable steadineSs, at times being a
point or so above the previous night s
close On some positions, from which final
sharp reactions occurred under heavy
realizing. SO that last prices of the day
were q to points net lower. with the
tone barely steady. The market opened
steady with prices from one point higher
to 1 points lower. Nothing in the cable
news nor the domestic weather situation
occurred to affect sentiment very much
one way or the other. but there was
enough interest taken in the reported in
crease of the southern holding movement
to check any aggressive bear pressure.
1t was estimated that the specu alive
short interest in the New York market Is
anywhere from 10000 to a million bales
and the bears have been figuring on the
south to supply them with all the cotton
they need to cover their shorts at around
8 cents for January. There has been
steady buying at this level for some time
past, SO that a big short interest Is being
steadily reduced. The south was a fair
seller on Saturday, but If the Texas
holding movement extends to the eastern
belt as well there may be some difficulty
experienced in covering the ba ance Of

bulletins per week announcing that Mr.

scores TO settle. He may be in no hur-
ry to start but he is going to start

Then there is another personal factor
in the present market situation which

Chairman Garys statement Of the po-
sition of the steel corporation in relation
to the government suit was regarded
as to some extent responsible for the
movement. The steel corporations five
reasons why, in its opinion, the suit
should be decided in it's favor did not
place the matter in a new light. but the
confident tone in which the corporation
asserted it's position was thought to have
exerted quiescent influences. Another fac
tor In the market position of steel stocks
was the demand from the short interest
which apparently judged 1t wise to cover
upon a rather extensive scale.
