The net results OF the days opera
tions were losses of from "a TO q
points, but there were many cratic
changes, and at one time prices were
at higher levels than Wednesdays
closing figures. There was a striking
break during the early trading, quota
lions being off between 20 and 80
points, but this was more than recov-
cred before noon. In the last hour
there wss another wave Of selling,
which carried prices down again 10 the
days lowest level, from which there
was only fractional rally at the
close.
The early selling was largely IN the
nature OF realizing by prominent COM
mission houses. who threw cotton INTO
the market in large blocks. This was
partly prompted by the fact hat the
Liverpool market was much weaker
than expected. Another reason for the
early selling was the fact that the
Gulf storm seemed 70 have done less
harm than many had feared. On this
decline some of Wednesdays largest
sellers returned TO the long side, End
in the first two hours the buying for
trade interests was decidedly large,

Following this advance there was
even more aggressive Liquidation and
a good deal of hedge selling for south
ern account. Wall Street houses were
free sellers, and IL was said that fully
10000 bales were liquidated for West
ern operators. The advance also
brought out a much larger volume Of
short selling by local professional
talent. who seemed convinced thst
prices are high enough for the pres
ent and that the market IS in a weaA
position technically.
For A time the decline was arrested
BY predictions Of a cold wave IN 'he
Eastern belt, but this was Offset ~
claims of easier spot markets IN the
South Atlantic states. The sharp de-
cline in the last hour was brought
about by an extremely large number
of small selling orders from outside
traders. Although no large individual
lots were involved, the aggregate was
sufficient TO carry prices down Sharply'
The principal reason FOR this selling
was the report that the steamer Ala,
