tered on the New York Cotton Ex-

the first hour, prices were prac-
tically unchanged. AS the fore
noon progressed, however, buying
demand increased.

on a report of which there was no
confirmation that plans were be-
ing considered to help the cotton
situation under which the Gov.
ernment would withhold for two
years all sterilization and cooper.
ative cotton, amounting to $500.
900 bales, and private bankers
would finance the withdrawal Of
one fourth Of the present crop
from the market.

in the crop is expected in that
area because scarcity Of moisture
