COTTON MARKETS
Liverpool Raises Limit and
Closes at TOp-0OmeStiC
Markets Are Quiet.
Monday Afternoon Now. rs.

AA@AANNF aAAANA AASNAtH 80
Nothing startling happened in the
cotton market today and changes were
moderate, News over the weekend
was not such as to affect values very
much and the recovery Of quotations to
near prevailing spot prices in the belt
left traders without incentive 10 do
much. There continued but little ac-
tlNlty in the actual and both sides APP
peared waiting to see what would
transpire.
In Liverpool the one-day limit was
restored to 100 points. after having
been reduced to 50 and kept at that
amount for only two days. The full eX-
tent Of the limit upward was taken at
the opening. which resulted in no fur
ther trading. Just what induced the
foreign market to show so much
strength was left to guesswork, but it
was assumed to be the fact that the
foreigners are so heavily short on this
side and saw danger to their position
through the action taken In the interest
OF higher prices. 1t was also assumed
that spinners were buying contracts
against their needs of raw material in
advance OF purchases on this side ex-
planned some of it. Spots were marked
up 20 points, good middling to 22.33d,
with sales 1000 bales, including 800
AmeElCan. Receipts for the day were
10000 bales, including $4,000 American,
At the opening on this side prices
were moderately higher, refleCting aC-
emulation OF buying orders over the
weekend, which sent prices up to a
level about half a cent to the good
January in New York opened at % 25c
and sold up to %, 45C. In New Orleans
first prices were up even more, but
there was quick reaction when a few
hedging sales were made. In New York
January dipped to 27.65C, but in the
southern center the break was larger.
After TINS came more stability, for
sales did not continue in volume and
some Of the large spot interests bought
a little on the qlbet. January sold back
up to S,20c, but there was little snap
to buying, and later another sinking
spell was seen. Trading was very
light and the allowance Of some strad-
die busiRess, notice to this effect
having been sent u from Washing
ton, failed TO nave much effect.
In the spot department business was
quiet, but there was absence Of evil
dence Of weakness. There Is nothing
indicating buying for consumer yet,
but this Is expected sOon and with the
restrictions on short sales continued
there Is not likely to be any trouble
in at least maintaining values around
current levels.
The weather in the belt continues
favorable, but little rain having fallen
over the weekend and the indications
today being for fair and colder. The
next ginning report is scheduled for
Thursday, and naturally 1t is expected
to show up small for the past period,
In the final hair hour more hedges
were turned loose on the market and
support being limited there came a dip
to the lowest points of the session,
January reaching Is s5c at the finish, a
break from the morning of 100 points.
IN New Orleans some options reached
the maximum decline.
