greater part of the session in cot
ton today the market felt pressure,
which was severe at times, from
liquidation on the long side induced
by the holidays at the end of the
week, the bureau report Monday and
the uncertainty over world politics.
The close was 5 points down to 10 up.
On the first call, the nearer posi-
tions were up on the good Liverpool
and the wet weather map but imme-
diately after the call selling in large
volume was felt and it continued I'M
til toward noon. A steadier tone de-
veloped and the market began to re-
cover. 1t was helped by private
condition report of 1872 percent of
the normal, many private messages
telling of much rain in the belt, and
forecast of more rain in the eastern
half of the cotton region and, finally
by the unconfirmed rumor that the
Germans had signed the peace treaty.
