COTTON QUOTATIONS
BIT LOWER TODAY
Nearness to Holiday Restricts
Trading-Good Weather in
Most of Belt.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, November 2s.-The
cotton market was comparatively
quiet in today's early trading, but
after opening steady at decline or
3 points to an advance OF points
eased off under further pre-holiday
liquidation.
January contracts sold down to
23.S7, or points net lower. Other
months showed similar losses toward
the end Of the first hour. Some add
tional switching was reported from
December to later months, promoted
by circulation of a few more notices,
but spot houses bought the near
months, and enough covering or trade
buying gave the market a fairly
steady tone after declines.
Liverpool cables said that offerings
of spot were slightly freer, but had
been absorbed by trade buying.
New Orleans Quotations.
NEW ORLEANS, November 26.-The
cotton market opened irregular and
without definite trend. First trades
showed losses of 4 to points on
near months. but practically un-
changed on the latter positions. A
slightly better Liverpool than due
apparently had little effect. The
Washington weekly weather summary
reported favorable weather during
the past week, except rains in the
northwest portion of the belt, which
somewhat delayed picking. The
market after the opening call fluc-
tuated aimlessly within a few points
range, with January around 2i.0S and
March around 24.20. Nearness of the
holiday restricted trading.

some aggressive buying developed
and the market rallied. Opening
prices, which ranged from Is to q c
lower. with December 1.52A to 1.52i2
and May 1.60 to 1.60h, were followed
by upturns which in some cases went
temporarily a little above yesterdays
