Cotton

Selling for profits caused an easier
feeling in cotton yesterday. though
weather conditions IN the crop sections
are not favorable and crop reports were
not any too reassurng.. Increasing re-
ccipts and diminishing demand from
trade sources also cXcrted deprcss-
ING influence. December contracts
sold of from 27.60 to 272O and closed
at27.29. with the general list Closing
steady, net point higher TO 20 points
lower. j..
The market opened barely steady, at
an advance of ! point on December ana
January. but later months were IL 10
II points lower, and the general nsV
sold 34 10 36 points under last night :
closing figures during the middle OF
the morning. Covering caused rall'eS
Of few points in the late trading
with the close showing a net advance
of | point on October. but declines OF
Is to 25 points on other deliveries.
The weather map showed the cx.
pccted frost in the Eastern belt ana
continued low temperatures IN Centrai
and Western sections. with prospects
that warmer weather in the Southwest
to-day would be followed by another
cold snap before the opening on Mon
day morning. There was also some uh-
easincss over reports Of a tropical DIS
turbance in the Caribbean Sea, al
though this figured less in the talk
around the ring than the low tempera-
lures and reports Of frost damage
II was reported that returns 10 a
prominent Southern authority indicst-
ed ginning OF 5,262,000 bales prior to
October rs and pointed to crop oil
II .O36 900 bales. This crop indication
was thought to be based on figures re-
ceived before the latest cold wave. ana
estimates reaching here from the
South are ranging under the II ,Ooo'-
600 bale mark. At the end OF last hu-
gust the official indication pointed to
Weld of l2.500,000 bales. but since the
trade began 70 cut down its estimates
of the crop the market has advanced
from about 1871 TO 17s. cents per
mound. The extent Of this price move
ment probably explains the inditer-
ence of the trade to the bulls weather
news of Saturday. particularly as the
present level seems high enough to
bring out cotton more freely. Reports
from the goods trade indicate contin-
ned strength. with a good demand from
the interior. although the firmness was
partlv attributed to increasing scarcity
of labor and the raw material sltua-

After physical needs have been pro.
