SHORT COVERING
HOLDS UP COTTON
Prevents Featureless Market
Declining More Than Two
to Nine Points.

There was enough local short cover
ing In yesterdays featureless and quiet
cotton market to prevent It's declining
too far under the influence of the un-
settled labor situation here and abroad
and the reactionary tone of securities.
Prices were off 13 to 81 points from
Saturdays close at one time early in
the afternoon and reflected professional
long selling. Southern offerings and lack
of trade support, but in the last half
hour the market made up most OF Its
losses. showing a decline of only to
points at'the final gong.
The weather, ordinarily a factor OF
Importance was sufficiently a standoff
not to make much difference one way
or the other. The showery and unfavor-
able weather in the Eastern belt was
offset by rains In south Texas and pre-
diction Of further precipitation. Liver
pool cables were disappointing. The
English futures market started off well
enough. but soon reacted under specula-
tive selling and fears of strikes.
Spot business abroad continued active,
about 10000 bales changing hands. A
good Inquiry for the actual was reported
abroad. Advices regarding Manchester
business and the wage reduction by the
Federation of Master Spinners did not
agree and added to the confusion here
The local market for spot cotton was
quoted as points net higher at 1850
cents for middling The New Orleans
market was quiet and % points lower
at 1925 cents.
