Firm Gables Help Firmness.
Volume of Trade Light.

NEW YORK, Nov SIN the face OF
much better Liverpool cables than ex-
pected and heavy rains in the Western
the New Orleans market Tuesday, the
cotton market opened barely steady to-
day with first prices 1 up to points
lower than the final quotations of Mon
day.
The steadiness of the Liverpool mar
ket was attributed to European spin
ners calling for actual cotton.
on the opening the room traders was
inclined to sell but the supply was light
and scattered and prices eased off | to
points from the initial range before
sufficient buying orders came into the
ring to turn the market. Then they
swung up to 10 points from the previ-
GUS close. The larger spot interests
were the principal absorbers. There
was also good buying by brokers iden-
titled with Liverpool connection. Shorts
came in later on the buying side.
The buying was based on the reap
pearance of mills as buyers. They were
active at the lowest level and were the
influential factors in turning the market
on an upward trend last Friday. lndica-
tons for further rains in the Western
belt and generally fair in the Eastern
half followed by unsettled rainy weather
toward the end of the week, and distant
indications being unfavorahle and for
sSllefdl'N pad weather, manifested DuS
ing power.
The advance was preceded by a per
pendieular break of So a bale. and 1t is
contended in conservative quarters that
a reaction is overdue and many are pre-
dieting ID cents before the week end.
Small ginning figures of S,607 900 bales
ginned to November !, issued by a
Memphis authority, as compared with
S,6S9, 90 bales during the same period last
year and 1907, 900 bales in 1911, coupled
with a rumor that the National Ginners'
Association estimates the crop at 49,
400. 600 bales, encouraged active buying
during the early afternoon. resulting in
December advancing to 1852, January
10 1S.43 and March to 13.47. Had 1t not
been for the small outside trade. there
is no telling where the list would have
found a resting place, as everything
was bullish, but the market lacked snap
on the rally and soon developed dull
ness. Price movement. however, held
firm around the high mark.
