There has been little activity in the
spot department though quotations
have held fairly steady. Movement
has been moderate. The strength in
the summer contracts has extended
to the entire market, and is based on
continued good consumption and the
smallness of stocks for protection of
short sales.
Inquiry among the buyers here in
diCates that there is less selling Of the
actual ahead this summer than for
several years, the experiences of the
past two years having proven in
most instances, expensive. Some mar
ket observers think this fact helps to
explain why the foreign spinners have
been absorbing fall contracts so free
ly, thus providing in that way a par
tial hedge against orders for finished
goods and yarns. If this opinion
proves correct, it is likely to prove
important as a speculative influence
during the next few months
