COTTON'S STRENGTH

Market Experts Wonder at Firm

NEW YORK, September 4.--Steadi-
ness of the cotton market in the
face of the most appalling tragedy in
modern times proved the event of
tho session.
Inability of most operators to
Ruage the effects of such wholesale
destruction of human life and prop
erty as is reported from Japan pro-
dueed an extremely cautious attitude.
Scattered selling took place during
early trading, but domestic and for
eign trade absorbed all cotton for
sale within marrow range ana

were virtually those at the close on

Comm ssion house business was

operations diminished materially. Yet

tial. Liverpool showed how seri

reflected pressure of hedge selling
that the market met cotton on
advances above the 2J-ccnt level for
October and December here.
Considering the loss shown in crop
prospects by the Department Of Agri-
culture. it is evident that the trade
is facing the third short crop in sue
cesaion and that. with d carrX-oVer
of American cotton the smallest on
record action of the market in rising
rapidly cent a pound was hardly
surprising.
