NEW YORK COTTON FUTURES NnDL- na1 --COffnn fltIf1
NEM ORLEANS COTTON

NEW ORLEANS. Dec. 2i.--The range in prices of cotton today was unusually mar row. the market being in the grip or . holiday feeling which was accentuated by the fact that tomorrow will be first notice day for the January position and that tenders were expected, although there is the greatest uncertainty over how large tenders will be. Trade ahead of the mills especially after the turn of the year. caused small recoveries every now and then. The close was typical of session, prices being unchanged to points up' with January at 25.5Sc pound.
 Soon after the opening prices were to 10 points down as the result of liquida- tion but the more favorable Turkish situ- ations caused buying, on which rise to levels of s or 9 points over the close or yesterday was made These were the low and the high levels of the session.
 For while the tone was steadied by the claim advanced by spot interests that all tenders tomorrow. and during the re- mainder of the life of the January posi- ton. would be traded for but offerings were gradually increased while no further buying power of consequence developed. Selling out of the long side appeared to be hastened by the triple holidays to fol- low the close tomorrow.
