COTTON DEMAND
IS LESS ACTIVE
Prices React Toward End Of
Week Under Realizing

NEW YORK, Dec. 19.-The cotton
market showed considerable strength
during the earlier part of the week on
trade buying and covering, which was
evidently promoted by bullish southern
spot advices. March, which had sold
off to 23.05c toward the end of the pre-
vious week, advanced to 24.33c, re-
coVery of about 125 to $50 points from
recent low levels, before the buying
movement was supplied.
The demand then tapered off and
prices reacted toward the end of the
week under realizing which may have
been due to some uncertainty as to the
probable showing of the governments
report on ginning to December IS or
the nearer approach of the holidays.
Aside from realizing, selling appeared
to be restricted by continued reports of
a steady spot situation in the south,
and the undertone of the market was
described as generally steady. There

~ xPORTS of agricultural products,
as the above index line shows, were
in greater aggregate volume dur
ing October, the latest month on rec
ord, than during any month since June,
1919. Since exports of wheat and cot
ton usually run heavier in the autumn,
part Of the remarkable advance in the
index to 2O8 from the August figure
of 80, has been seasonal. However, this
fall has witnessed unusually heavy sales
abroad of both wheat and cotton. Oc-
tober exports of cotton amounted to
9S3,726 bales this year and S04, AIT bales
in 1923. October, 1928, exports of wheat
totaled only 21,060,717 bushels as COM
pared with figure this year Of $685.
1874 bushels. In fact, exports Of other
gains, too, have been largely due to
smaller crops abroad and consequent
heavier demand from our farmers.
The following table shows how agri-
cultural exports ran during October.
