Net ter points higher to 15 points lower. The market was influenced during the earlier trading by bullish spo, adVlces and reports of increasing ex- ports.

 Otherwise, however, there seemed to be very little demand. and the market turned easier during the mid dle of the day under realizing or scat tered liquidation.

Brokers with Japanese connections were among the more prominent sell CTS
 Reports of unfavorable conditions in the domestic goods market were sup posed to be checking demand on the bullish view of the spot situation, and Manchester cables also indicated that cancellations were unsettling the Lancashire trade.

At the lowest levels the trading months were B to 5S points under yester- days close. Toward the end some what steadier ceiling prevailed anc last prices showed net losses of but , to 2S points.
 December was tho weakest month on the boards and this appeared to be due to liquidation by holders of long contracts, some of whom had evidently been contemplating the taking up of cotton on contracts.

EGYPTIAN COTTON
Saves Shipping Space.

With the War Trade Board re
Gently announced the revocation
OF all outstanding licenses for the
importation of Egyptian cotton
and that importation of only so,
600 bales of long staple Egyptian
cotton will be allowed during
1918, attention was called to the
increase in the production of
Egyptian cotton in the irrigated
lands of Arizona and nelghboring
States. The production in 1918
of this American grown Egyptian
cotton, according to specialists of
the United States Department of
Agriculture, probably will be be
tween 10000 and $4,000 bales.
In 1917 the production was 16 600
bales, and in 1916, 1881 bales.
The acreage this year is estimated
at $4,000, compared with an acre
age of $4,000 in 1917. Egyptian
cotton is used largely for automo
bile tires and high grade sewing
thread, and spinning tests by the
Bureau of Markets of the depart
ment indicate that it can be used
advantageously in the manufac
ture of airplane and balloon fa
brics. Commercial production of
Egyptian cotton in the American
southwest was begun only in 1912,
after long experimentation by the
Bureau of Plant Industry, but al
ready the industry has grown to
such an extent that imports can
be cut to $4,000 bales, thus saving
