New York, Oct. 30.-An opening de-
cline of 6 to 1S points in cotton prices
this morning was a reflection of the
threatened coal strike and a weak stock
market.
These factors offset bullish cables
and continued unfavorable weather
through the belt. causing commission
house selling. Liverpool was a seller of
the late months.
After the start, further weakness de =
veloped and prices dropped about %
points under last nights close.
The early break carried prices about
40 to 4S points net lower. with January
selling about 1922, or IS points below
the high level of yesterday morning.
Sentiment was very unsettled. but
this decline met trade buying and was
followed by quick rallies on covering
Before the end of the first hour January
sold to $500, or 6S points from the
low level of the morning and % points
net higher.
The unfavorable western weather
forecast and continued bullish spot new,
led to buying by interests who felt that
even if the coal strike actually occurred
it would soon Be settled. The tone
however. remained nervous, and later
fluctuations were irregular.
