Cotton opened steady at an advance
of seven to thirteen points, about in
line with the foreshadowing Of the
Liverpool cables, based upon the
strength of the southern spot markets
Cotton sentiment In New York was
confused. The early support came ap-
parently from persons interested in
maintaining a stiff spot market, but
they soon tired of the advance and the
market Stacked off under pressure from
local sellers.
The great problem in the stock mar
ket is the short interest, and the fear
that covering operations will begin at
the first favorable turn in the tide of
the trading, which would carry prices
up several points and might produce
more excitement than Wall Street has
seen this year.
The market remained stuck fast in
the same narrow groove of the morning
hours during the first hour of the af-
ternoon. More attention was given to
cotton and wheat than to stocks, and
professional traders simply waited on
Washington without trying to do any
thing in the way of business.
