COTTON MARKET
 VERY IRREGULAR
 ON NEW COVERING
General List Closed Steady, Unchanged to Thirty Points Lower on
 the Day
By Associated PreAs

New York, November 20.-The cotton market was very irregular today, with advances on covering for over the weekend followed by declines accom-. panied by reports that exporters were cotton for resale in the .outn. After selling off to 15.65c, early ..-n- uary advanced to 16.Soc but closed at 15.Ssc, with the general market elos- ing steady net unchanged to 30 points lower
 The market opened steady at de- cline of five points on May, but gen erally 8 to points higher on Wall street and local buying, supposedly to cover shorts. There was continued southern selling, however, which was evidently a disappointment to some of yesterdays buyers for a rally and the market soon weakened, with active months selling about 22 to 35 points below last nights closing figures, De- cember was relatively easy under liquidation in advance of possible no- tices on Wednesday, Wednesday selling off to 16.20c while March broke to 15.5Sc. Covering became more active at this level, and there may nave tecn some Wall street or local buying on reports that measures were being d's- cussed for utilizing alien property funds in establishing international credits. There were also scattering TO- ports that distress cotton had been pretty well taken care of in the south on the break of yesterday, which helped the rally to 16.S2c for Decem- Der and 16.10c for March. The mark .t then met increased offerings, coming partly from the south and the close was well off from the best. Curtail- ment of mill production for the weak in Fall river was estimated at 240, 900 pieces, the heaviest for any one week since 1911 and still greater curtail- ment was said to be in prospect for next week. Some improvement was re- ported in retail business, but, other wise, local tradres found little change in goods trade advices

Hubbard Bros.

New York, November 10.-tSpeciaI.)- Further short covering on the Idea that prices had gone low enough for the time being and that q substantial rally could be expected was the feature of the market today. While unquestionably a great deal of cotton was covered, the offerings from the south were so liberal that the tendency of the market to go higher was checked. Reports from the south indicate spot cotton is being free- ly offered. with few buyers. Consequent ly there does not seem to be anything new in the situation 10 warrant perma- nent advance. although if some tempo rary favorable news is received we might have a. rally for the tune being.
