Thompson, Parker X Co.'S Letter

Thompson, Parker & C0. Letter
 The usual selling pressure was felt Tn the early trading in cotton today, but after drop of @ to 90 points shorts com menced to take profits in large way and their demand absorbed all offerings. Something of a reactionary tendency m sterling exchange rates brought in tresh buying for long account, and in the early afternoon the trading months were i5 10 21 points higher than the close Of yester day. We believe that it is significant ana well worth considering that bankers who have been bearish on foreign exchange fo- two or three years are now peginnin,' to talk about the bottom being in sisht' also. we think altogether too much IS being made over the possible effect or low exchange rates on exports in view or the actual facts in the case. Exports to- day from all ports were S902 bales against 1O.672 this day last year. Exports thus far this week amount to i5o,3oo' against 5S.6O4 last year.
 Should any real improvement take place ir the foreign exchange situation, the cotton market would bulge strongly
 The close was at net advances or rom | to 24 points-Shepard & Gluck.
