COTTON ADVANCES =
BUTLATER REACTS
General List Closes Steady at
Net Decline Of From
20 to 20 Points.

sharp early advance on the war
news. reassuring statements as to the
operations OF the Washington cotton
committees. and unf,vorablc weather in
the South, were followed by reactions In
the cotton market yesterday December
contracts sold at 335Gc at the start,
but broke to 32.95c. and closed at
33.02c.. with tho general list closins
steady at a net decline of from 20 to 2s
points.
The opening was firm at an advance
OF to 40 points. with active months
selling 20 to 40 points net higher dur
Ing the early trading. This was on a
renewal of the buying movement, which
had been in progress at tho close OF
Friday, and which was encouraged by
the appearance of a low barometer of
the Florida coast, indicating heavy
| rains In South Atlantic States over
Sunday. But the advance met a good
deal of realizing. There was also scat
tered Southern selling and the market
was unsettled during the middle Of the
morning. This seemed partly due to
board Of managers with member OF
| the cotton inquiry committee had been
| called to consider the question or fiuc.
| tuations. Under present rulings the
| maximum daily huctu7tion permitted
| in futures is 200 points, and the talk
| was that this might be reduced. The
| meeting. however, was not followed by
| any definite statement or announcement
which sug. ested that no definite actor
| had been taken whatever or the subject
| of discussion. Brokers with foreign OF
domestic trade connections ware good
| buyers on the break of about 80 TO II
| points from the early high level and
prices were steady in the late trading.
| The local market for spot cotton va!
steady and SO points lower. at 3t.s0c
for middling upland; sales. nil.

form or another.
Price fixing has now reached into
ABOUT all the principal lines OF goods in
hrst hands, and jobbers are steadily APP
plying their dlfferentials on the goods
priced at mill centres. Retailers are 70
nold meeting at Washington this weel,
TO ascertain what they can do through
the war service committee in carrying
OUT price fixing rules TO the consumers.
Owing TO the limited quantities OF
goods that win be available for civilian
needs In the future there In no rush 10
