NEW YORK, December 10 P).-
The cotton market was quiet again
today, with mid morning rallies on
covering followed by reactions. March
sold up to 1895, declined to 1880 and
closed at 1884, with the general
market closing steady: net point
higher to 9 points lower.
General business was much restrict
ed during the entire morning and the
trading was attributed chiefly further
to evening up Of accounts for over the
week end or in preparation for the
census report. This report, which is
scheduled for publication at 10 o'clock
Monday morning, will give the
amount of cotton ginned prior to De
cember 13. Another private report
was published this morning which
estimated the outturr at 14,739.0
bales to this date. with the market
apparently well prepared for official
figures Of around 14,75o,000 bales.
The amount of cotton on shipboard
awaiting clearance at the end Of the
week was estimated at 1900 bales,
against 10000 last year.
