COTTON IS STEADY
IN BRIEF SESSION
Rallies From Opening Decline
Leave Prices About Even
at Close.
BY the Associated Pre- g.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, September 24.-Ral-
lies from an opening decline on APP
prehensions of another cold snap in
the belt were not fully maintained in
the cotton market today. After sell
ing off to 20.65 at the start, Deem
Der rallied to 20.85 and closed at 20.70
the general market closing steady at
net declines of 2 to 5 points.
The opening was barely steady at a
decline of 3 to 9 points under over
night selling orders and in response
to relatively easy Liverpool cables.
Initial offerings were soon absorbed
by week end covering, evidently pro-
noted by fear that the low temporal
lures reported in the Canadian north
west might work down into the cot
ton belt over Sunday.
October rallied from 20.29 to 204S
and March sold up from 20.93 to
21.11, active months showing net adj
vances of about 10 to IS points before
the end of the first hour. Demand
was supplied around these figures by
selling that appeared to represent fur
Their hedging by the South or the
trade. and later there was liquida-
ton or reselling by early buyers. The
close showed reactions of Is or II
points from the best.
An estimate said to be based upon
the views of 400 members of a South.
ern cotton organization was pub
lished placing the indicated crop at
~ ASS, 900 bales. This may have been
factor on some Of the earlier buying,
but demand was not aggressive and
after the early furry of covering,
trading was comparatively quiet.
Part Of the days business was at
tributed to further switching from o.
tober to later months in preparation
for possible October notices next Tues
day.
Private cables said there had been
some continental buying there sup
piled by liquidation and hedge selling
and that the fluctuations in cotton
were restricting business in cotton
goods at Manchester.
The amount Of cotton on shipboard
awaiting clearance at the end of the
week was estimated at 98,477 bales,
against 1871 last year.

showing a disposition to dispose of

than they are ready to grant. The
