Spot Sales Small,

At the spot eenyers business was
limited. the sales in the local market
showing a total Of only 7,l75 bales,
which caused unsold stock In the hands
Of factors going up to l00,o 900 bales,
although net receipts for the week
we're little over half what they were
this week last year, The local en-
barge on receipts was raised, but 1t
has had apparently but little effect
as vet. Most Of the business here was
IN n few kinds Of cotton, and eNporters
seemed IL be doing most OF It. Buyers
who were operating at the Interior
found less disposition to meet the de-
cline in futures thar they expected.
At other points in the belt sales
were small and the wide difference
in quotations shows to some extent
the variance In ideas Of values. Texas
points reduced quotations more than
elsewhere. but they had been relatively
high There was some disposition to
lower premiums on the high grades,
although weather developments rather
tended to increase the proportion Of
the lower. The favorable fall, how
ever. has increased the proportion OF
good grades and IL seems assured that
differences will return to normal after
n prolonged period of Rbnormality.
The weather Was not SO good as II
has been, but nothing transpired to
do widespread harm TO the crop. The
frost in the upper part Of the west
ern belt Monday failed to be serious
and the one In the central belt Friday
morning was regarded as doing more
good than harm. There were some
hurtful rains In certain sections, but

BY GEORGE WILLIAMSON.

Bears had marked success during the
past few days in their effort TO nam
mer cotton prices, following a temper
airy bulge at the beginning Of the week
which carried futures something over
$3.50 q bale above the low level OF
the previous one. The upturn was in
a measure due to the OVersOlu state
OF the market, induced by a frost scare
for the western part OF the belt. us
passing character seemed to inspire
fresh courage among the bear crowd
and they became more aggressive ana
hammered values mercilesSly, prices
reaching their lowest levels at the close
Of the review period and showing a
decline Of nearly 400 points from the
weeks highest. The December POSI-
ton in New York sold down to 81 cents
with the rest OF the list off In pro-
portion. That was nearly 1000 points
from the seasons top, recorded Just
after the condition report In the early
fall poSting to a crop Of about loco, =
400 bates, the same option selling then
at S6. Doc, and October at 3I25c.
In the spot department quotations
were more Irregular, declines for the
week ranging from 100 10 800 points,
middling upland at the leading centers
in the belt quoted at 27,S0c to 29.5oc,
The unsettled state Cf the contract
market and the fact that holding q
spots was widespread made II difficult
TO reach definite conclusions as to quo
tations. Business in the actual was
limited and quoted prices were more
or less nominal.
Sentiment in professional circles did
not undergo material change and the
outside public did not show any dis
position to take much part. by some
this was attributed to the fact that the
government, through its war purchasing
board, had apparently taken steps to
check any upward movement In prices,
while il encouraged and welcomed de-
clines. Whether or not this view was
justified, II was not without influence
and tended TO, discourage buying on
the dips, except by satisfied shorts and
for turns, Developments In the war
zone were 80 rapid and Of such salts
factory character hat peace eXpecta-
lions were stimulated more than dur
ing any period Of the conflict They
brought traders to q realization that
tremendous changes are impending,
and, ms the dominant element seem to
believe that peace will mean lower cot
ton prices, the bears made use Of the
news. No new phases Of the bear
theory we're presented, and the people
who think TO the contrary did not ap-
larentty see tit TO try and disabuse the
minds Of the speculative element,
