EASY TONE IN COTTON:
SPOT HOUSES PURCHASED


NEW YORK, Feb. 2I.-Hcavy selling
by commission houses, believed to be de-
laycd long liquidation. caused an easier
tendency on the Cotton Exchange at the
opening this morning. Sentiment before
the start was bearish, however. so tha.
only small incentive was needed to bring
in pressure from other quarters.
Spot houses purchased, but the demand
generally was scattered. Business was
larger than in Il month or more and the
activity continued for some time after
the opening. First prices were s to II
points lower and later they had worked off
to 6 points more in the nearby active
months
The early break to 11.45 for May found
n good many buying orders around the
ring. These seemed to come from trade
sources as well as from covering of shorts
and there was a rally or s or 10 points
from the lowest. The tone, however, con-
tinued nervous and unsettled, with the
South steady seller, and an idea that
spots were being hedgcd by uneasy hold
crs served to discourage anything like
aggressive bull support II seemed, in
deed, that the rally from the early low
level brought out increased offerings and
the market broke back to nearly the low
point.
Temperatures were higher in the cotton
belt this morning, although frosts reports
were received from the Gulf coast Clear
conditions again prevailed.

NEW YORK COFFEE MARKET

NEW YORK, Feb. 21.-The coffee mar
kct started higher but later turned fever
ish and values reacted from the early ad.
vance, owing to increased selling. and it
was the general impression in the local
market that price changes were governed
largely by technical conditions as there
appeared to be no especial change in the
news over Sunday, and, according to the
official report from Brazil, freight rates
remained unchanged on the basis of 81
and 5 per cent. primnEc.
