.FLEECY STAPLE WAS
 UNABLE ID HOLD ITS NEW HIGH RECORDS
Close Was Steady Net F Points Lower to } Points Higher Than Tues
 days Close
By Associated Press

New York, April 16.--Early reactions were followed by advices which estab- lished new high records for some of the new style deliveries in the cotton mar ket today. but prices eased off again in the later trading with the close steady, net 12 points lower to points higher. May sold up from 2670c to 27.0Sc and closed at 26.7Sc, while October ad yancad from 23 46c to 23.9Sc and closed | at 23.7Oc. Old style months opened unchanged to points higher and closed net IT points lower to points higher.
 The opening was steady at decline of 5 points to an advance of points on the new style months. An unfavora- | ble weather map and very bullish re- ports from the goods trade appeared to be offset at the start by disappointing ca bles southern selling and disposl- 1 tion to take profits on long contracts I or to sell for a reaction in advance or l the approaching three-day adjourn ment. Active months worked some 15 | to 27 points net lower in consequence. but there was trade buying on a scale down; the weekly report of the wealth CT bureau was less favorable than eX- pected and as prices steadied recent sellers for a reaction turned to cover. 1 The advance was stimulated by the con- | tinued favorable political news from | abroad and reports of better spot de- mand from both northern and southern spinners were also circulating during
 l the middle of the day when July sold
 ! up to 2566c, or into new high ground
 1 for the movement with new style
 months generally showing net gains of | 20 to 26 points.
 l Realizing for over the holidays
 checked the upward movement at this level and the close was 20 to so points | off from the best.
 | All three of the futures markets will
 be closed from tomorrow night until I Monday morning and Liverpool will re-
 ! main closed until Wednesday morning. The weekly repert of the weather
 1 bureau read more favorable as to east
 l ern belt conditions, but the comment on
 1 central and western sections was con | sidered unsatisfactory and there were predictions of frost in the western belt 1 tonight.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York. April 16.-Liverpool was ah@'lt as due this morning, our mar ket opening round last nights close. Real Zing sales before the Easter holi- days made their appearance, causing a reaction, but the weekly weather re- port was unfavorable. which. together with heavy rains in the Atlantic states brought short covering carrying prices sharply higher.
 A better spot demand. both for Lv- erpool and eastern mills, were report ed. The south refrained from selling on the advance as had been the case recently, indicating Staht so long as weather conditions are bad cotton will not be pressed for sale. With the East CT hol days approaching some reaction would be quite natural, but sentiment now is more bullish than for some lit- tie time on the idea of a general re- vival of trade throughout the world Hubbard Bros. x Co.,
