GREATER OPTIMISM
PREVAILS IN COTTON
Reports Regarding
Price-Fixing Believed With
out Foundation

new ORR. sep. -.
The local cotton market in face of
easy cables had Il stronger opening to-
day and a more optimistic feeling gen
orally in regard to the question of price
fixing
New from the South gave the impress
Siou that last weeks alarming reports
had been without foundation that no
INVESTIGATING committee had yet been ap-
pointed and that the President was con-
ccrned at the moment only with the
question Of distribution.
The early advance extended to 3l.95
fer October and 3l.2S for January. or
SO to 60 points above last nights clos
ing figures. Ther" was southern hedg,
selling in the late months. accompanied
by reports that there had been a con-
siderable business in spot cotton late
~ Saturday.
Pressure from this source. however. was
just about offset ny trade buying. and
there was considerable covering after
the severe break of late last week.
Nervousness over the pricc-fXing
proposition had either subsidized to some
extent or the market interest had been
materially reduced before the close of
last week.
h commercial Appeal. of Memphis.
places the condition of cotton at 81
against $50 a month ago. and the indi.
Gated yield at 12,2OO, 900 bales.
The receipts for the day are estimated
at 5000 bales. against 2l.29G bales a
week ago and 2S,994 bales a year ago.
