Cotton

The cotton market was nervous and
and irregular yesterday. with general
business quiet during the greater part
of the morning. Toward the close,
however, there was a selling furry. al
though there was no apparent change
in the general character OF the news.
March broke to 25.99, or q points
under Fridays closing figures. and left
cf with a net loss of 10 points. jan
uary was relatively firm owing to the
transfer Of short hedges from that
delivery TO later months and closed l
point higher. Other months were II
to 20 points lower. finally.
There was some confusion over ex-
port prospects arising from Liverpool
cables 70 the effect that the British
government had allotted $4,000 tons OF
ocean space 20 the cotton trade for
November shipment from American
ports to Great Britain. A wire from
Galveston said that information reach
ing there indicated that this $4,000 tons
would be all the shipping space availa-
BILE for the month for shipment TO Liv-
erpool. II was thought By some In
the trade that this amount Of tonnage
would be given to cotton in addition to
tonnage secured through other chan
nels, this view being more consistent
with Manchester's requirements.
The amount of cotton forwarded from
Liverpool TO Manchester last week was
SO 900 bales. and room for 100000 bales
for the month would seem TO be abso-
lutely inadequate. There were rumors
that returns TO the National Ginners.,
Associations indicated a ginning OF
10TH 600 bales prior to November l.,
against 1923 900 last year. which would
mean a ginning OF about 100000 for
the last period. against 100000 last
year. The percentage of the crop
ginned prior to October Is last year
was the heaviest on record. and the
falling off in returns came correspond
ingly early in the season. Popular es,
Inmates of the crop have not allowed
for ANYTHING like the same percentage
ginned this year 70 October Is as last
season. and the indicated larger gin
ming between October IS and November

Some Roadway is being made in es-

necessarily slow. The general COM
mittee and several subcommittee or
the Iron and Steel Institute have been
meeting daily here since Wednesday
and will hold further sessions next
week. Diiferential prices on various
grades and pig iron have been finally
fixed, and the scrap price schedule es-
tablished. As step toward adjusting
prices for tubular goods, the National
Tube Company has advanced prices OF

discount four points. Wire prices
await a better understanding between

the recen. price adjustment by the
American Steel and Wire Company was
preparatory TO establishing full ac-

= Commodities

at the close on covering, final prices
were &c higher for December and l,c
70 sc net lower for the other posi-
tons. The impression has gained
ground that the government is against
high prices and that consequently 1t
will be a hazardous undertaking to
take an aggressive stand on the bull
side. The government attitude has
been clearly defined during the past
few days by efforts to discourage fur
Their purchases OF old corn, stocks OF
which are practically exhausted.
New obstacles have been placed in
the way OF exporters. and manufact-
urers of corn products have been asked
to discontinue making purchases of
old corn and to stay out Of the market
for a time. This is obviously intended
to limit the demand and give the mar
ket an opportunity to adjust itself
more definitely to a new crop basis.
Weather conditions were practically
ideal throughout the entire corn belt.
Offers of new corn from the farms
were again liberal, but are still being
confined to low grades. Buyers are
expected to back away from the mar
ket as the movement increases and,
while there are many holes to be filled
