Trading Under New Law Causes
some Confusion.

While there was nervousness and con-
fusion in the cotton market yesterday,
the first day OF trading on the Cotton
Exchange under conditions created by
the futures law amendment. the session
passed without excitement or sign of
Generalization. The bulk OF the busi-
ness was attributed to transferring from
old to new style contracts. 1t seemed
that the old shorts were more willing
to switch into the new style delivery
than were the longs, which was suggest.
ed by the fact that after ceiling IS to 1876
points more than did corresponding old
style deliveries, the new style contracts
lost part OF the premium, particularly
on the late months At tho close the
new style May was selling only 20
points above the old contract, while tho
closing bids for December were on even
terms The closing tone was barely
steady, with old style contracts 25 to 1875
points higher on March and April. but
generally 10 points higher to 80 points
lower compared with Mondays Anal
quotations.
There was considerable Liverpool
buying here early, mostly IN present
crop old style contracts. while later in
the day there was much scattering
liquidation.
Liverpool made firm showing over
the two day adjournment hero. The To-
cal opening was generally higher, but
