NEW YORK COTTON MARKET
New York; Oct. 15-The market
opened fairly we'll up to Liverpool
parity ard was carried a bit higher
en- extensive short covering and buy
Il ing for arbitrage and trade account,
but when this demand was filled Of
ferings proved too heavy for the buy
ing power and values slipped off some
20 points, with the close near the low
for the day. The favorable weekly
weather summary was offset to some
extent by private forecasts for frosts
in the southwest. Receipts continue
liberal Primary spot markets 3s 20
Il down for the day and the south
looks to be willing seller. Senti-
ment rather favors a reaction after
a So bale decline, but better char,

vance over lac. Following is range
