COTTON MARKET Is
HARDER PRESSED
Quotations Show Recovery at
Close, but Are Net 23 to
A Points Down.

Cotton futures were yesterday under
heavier selling pressure and 60 to 70
points net lower on active options at
one time In the session. Demand was
again lighter and mostly Of speculative
character. being profit taking for short
placed the market in a more vulnerable
state for fresh bear attacks and made
il sensitive to long selling. Feeling was
also influenced by several new bearish'
factors Liverpool cables We're weak,
and news from English spinning centres
indicated that working schedules at mills
had been cut so per cent. Another fac
tor was a report stating that the Ma
tional Ginners' Association estimated
the total yield of the 1920-l921 crop at
t3.5OO,000 bales. Fall River sales foc this
week were placed at only 5000 pieces.
severe break in prices on the Alexan-
drla exchange also was reflected in the
days selling here.
The market was down 25 TO A points
at the outset, and generally unsettled In
undertone. Following the start there
was a brief rally In some options, but
demand failed to absorb offerings. and
by the end Of the first hour the market
was down more than "a cent pound
1t was apparent the feeling was less
bullish, due to unfavorable news from
the outside world. and that prospective
buyers were hesitating. The slightly
easier tone of foreign exchange was
mentioned by bears but was not vital
factor. The weather was ignored.
AS trading progressed offerings de-
creased to some extent, and with more
buying for short account the market de-
veloped an improved appearance. Wall
Street firms were good purchasers at
times, while spot houses and the South
were prominent sellers. All in ALL the
general late afternoon tone was perhaps
the best of the day, prices at one time
being within IL to 20 points of Thurs
days finals. Bears stressed as a fac
tor the remarks of David Houston, Sec
rotary of the Treasury, which indicated
that he knew of no solution for the
problem of falling farm prices The
market finished sharply up from the
