COTTON MARKETS
UNDERTONE STEADY
Net Change at Finish Is Slight
and a Little Investment
Support Is Shown.

The cotton market showed yesterday
a generally steady undertone during
most or its session. although the fist was
of about 20 points al one time in tho
trading on pressure from the South and
Wall Street interests. promoted pri-
narly by the unsettled and lower Sc
curities issues, disturbing foreign news
and declines in otaer commodities Its
net change at The finish was slight final

was off 10 points to 11.Soc. All III all
the market appeared TO be in more OF
less deadloclleG state awaiting develop

the outlool. for acreage. Most traders
expect considerable irregularity, as the
new crop season is near.

nearly as expected. At the outset here

lowing the call and the list soon dropped
about 10 10 20 points under Saturdays

ate quantity in the first hour and helped
to check the decline.
Steadiness was the only feature dur
ing the middle OF the day and early in
the afternoon. A little support for in
vestment purposes was in evidence. Bulls
were aided by more optimistic reports
from Berkshire mill sections and numer-
Gus reports from the belt telling Of the
