COTTON IMPROVES
LATE IN SESSION
After Continued Pressure
Early Gains on Covering
and Outside Support.

The cotton market continued yester-
day under pressure during the first part
of its session. tut displayed In the after
noon a much improved tone as the re-
suit of abort covering and outside sup
port. The decline reached a maximum
of 20 to 81 points and was more or less
a reflection Of Liverpoors further re-
cession and uneasiness among local
longs because Of political conditions.
The strength In the local stock market
was reassuring. however. to many nerv-
Gus traders and led many shorts to
cover. n
Prices advanced to 10 points in tho
last hour. but fell back slightly toward
the close, which was generally steady. z
points higher to points lower than
that Of Monday. The markets late
steadiness was purely the result Of I'm
proved technical position. 1t was EVIL
dent that the market was somewhat
oversold and that prudent shorts were
covering. After March dropped to 17A
cents there seemed to be quiet absorp-
ton Of contracts by several quarters.
Bulls argued that steadiness of foreign
exchange discounted an optimistic turn
In the foreign political situation.
Reports to the effect that the pink
boil worm had been discovered In north
ern Louisiana were connected with the
markets Improvement. All In all there
appeared to be a somewhat more fav-
orable ruling Of spot market informa-
ton. which was another incentive for
buying.
Liverpool showed further easiness
and unsettlcment yesterday Considering
Mondays local close, Liverpool prices
were expected 10 be 3 points lower to -
better. Instead. Liverpool opened TO
II points net lower and at the time OF
the local opening was ~ to 18 lower.
Continued quiet in spot business was
reported.
The newest development of the statis-
tical situation was q report on Inter
production issued by the Census Bureau.
1t placed total production from August
1 to December 81. 1921. at 262.559 bales
In contrast to 244,s70 in the correspond
ing period 1929. The report had no in
fluence on the market.
The local spot market was quiet
steady and 10 points higher at 1906
cents for middling. There were no sales
but 100 bales were delivered on contract
