SHEPARD & GLUCK COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS, La, Feb. 4.-Today S
behavior of the cotton market was in sharp
contrast to that of yesterday. News was
more favorable from the opening. Liver
pool came in better than due and shorts
covered freely so that prices were higher in
the first trades and continued to advance
until in the late trading they We're Al to
4S points over the close of yesterday. with
March up to 1924. Toward the close the
market was u points off from the highest.
According to private messages, Liverpool 8
strength was largely due to the removal
of excess profit taxes by. the British gov
eminent. On this side better spot de
mand was claimed, with some little business
done with Europe over night. Not lew
traders were inclined to think during the
morning session that the market would give
ground in the afternoon under small mill
takngs, but mill takings turned out sur
prisingly Iarge, $4,000 bales against 304,-
600 this week last year and 229,000 two
bered, they were only 221 900 bales.
We consider that the great reduction In
the short interest which was accomplished
today places the market in position where
the reaction is not likely to be prolonged
unless some highly favorable news is met.
