1471 for December. however, and the
market later rallied or points from
the lowest with trading comparatively
quiet at the end of the first hour.
Private cables attributed the de-
cline in Liverpool to hedging and BON
bay selling and said there was only
limited demand for cotton cloth from
India.
Figures on the production and sale
of cotton goods in the domestic mar
ket for the first quarter of this year,
however, seemed to make a favorable
impression on sentiment and probably
helped to steady the early market.
