TRADE DORMANT
IN COTTON RING
Forthcoming GinnerS' Report
Causes Market to Behave in
Healthy Fashion.

NEW YORK, March 19.-Outside Of a
little pressure on March contracts the
cotton market opened steady to-day;
March was off points, but nearly all
others ranged about l point above last
nights closing, with the exception Of
June, which opened points up. New
crop positions were bought on prospects
OF further rains over the belt within the
next day or two. which will retard plan
tation work. After the call the list was
hrm through a short covering movement,
final.
With the exception of short covering
during the forenoon trading, when March
contracts rallied to l. go: MAY, IL 90: July,
19O, and October, 1.42, the market was
duh and featureless with transactions
very small The buying looked to be bet
ter than the selling pending the triple
holiday, preceded by the census report to-
morrow on the 1928 cotton crop. The
impression prevails that the report VIII
show figures around 1900 600 bales, in
Guiding linterS.
During the afternoon session the mar
ket was dun with a dormant trade. Short
lines seem pretty well eVened up and the
market looked more like a holiday than
anything else. Usually on the eve of such
an essential report and holidays the mar
ket Is active and trade aggressive, but
the talent seems to know about the size
OF the old crop and have a better view of
the consumption. The belief is expressed
IN many conservative quarters that the
supply of cotton from the old crop VIII
tulhH the requirement for the remainder
of the season.
In Europe it is said that mills and spin
ners refuse to take on more cotton and
show disposition to cancel pending
orders booked for their account This is
probably based on the theory that crop
preparations are far advanced from the
present time last year. coupled with re-
ports that cotton acreage will show a ma
terial increase, which indicates the new
crop Will be another bumper" If favor
able weather continues throughout the
seeding period and spring months.
At the close the market was quiet
