NEW YORK, Oct 24--While the

the market is technically in position

prices here were at net decline OF

pressed confidence that the market
would go still higher than 1t did when
October reached 14.22 Thursday and
d >cember 14.05 and advised their friends
to stay off the short side.
Weakness in Liverpool was explained
by Habersham King confirming his crop
estimate of 15,750,000 bales since the
frost. However, his figures are consid-
cred joke here and had practically no
effect on the market. Evening up ac-

In conservative quarters the belief is
that the movement will begin to fal

the material damage by recent frosts
