NEW YORK, Feb. 10. U.NS)
Cotton features continued steady
and featureless in later trading
with prices working slightly high
er to establish gains Of about Is
cents q bale. The market was not
very active.
Spot houses began buying in the
nearly positions to q moderate ex-
tent. Foreign interests were buy.
ers Of distant deliveries and the
trade, Wall Street and Liverpool
purchased generally. Selling came
from the South, the Far East and
New Orleans.
The prniicpal concern Of trad
erS continued to be the attitude
Of Congress on the soil conserva-
ton plan and the attitude of both
the Administration and Congress
on the Smith bill to liquidate pool
stocks. Hearings on both meas
ulres are slated for this week.
The decision on the. iva ex.
pected- by the Supreme Court to-
day, has Of course little direct
bearing on cotton and such inter
est as was being displayed was
due to a desire to further de-
termnie the attitude of the Court
relative to New Deal legislation
generally.
Towards noon there was little
change in prices. March was quot
ed at 11.20 up 3. May 1888 up /,
July 10.75 unchanged, and october

Upgrade Foods displayed strength,
advancing " to 534. Novadel Agene
rallied to convert a minor loss into

to almost q point but lost half Of

RATE UP
; POINTS

Steel output rate advanced
three points to SO per cent Of ca
pacity the past week, reflecting
underlying strength in demand,
says the magazine Steel. Railroad
and general manufacturing re-
Quirements increased further.
This is the first evidence of a
definite trend in production this
year and as it has developed not
withstanding slackened consump-
ton in the automobile industry
and adverse weather conditions,
steel makers believe it represents
a broad movement which points
to expansion late this month or
early in March, the magazine says.
Chicago showed the principal
gain, the rate moving up 6 points
to So per cent. Rail mills there
have accumulated orders for
some schedules throughout the
first half of the year. Buying
for public works projects, farm
implements and household equip
ment holds at a high level.
Birmingham rail mills have
benefited also through recent
awards, the steel rate there ad-
vancing IL points to SO per cent.
The rate at Pittsburgh was up
/ point to 40 per cent, Cleveland
gained 2K2 to 6112 and Wheeling
rose 3 to 81. Other districts were
unchanged.
Important structural orders re-
Gently have developed from rail-
road bridge and grade elimina-
ton projects, although awards
during the past week dropped to
1902 tons.
