COTTON PARES
EARLY GAINS

NEW YORK, Aug. IS GN.S).
Steady prices prevailed during the
late forenoon session. Although
these prices represent gains of
about 20 cents, they trimmed initial
gains slightly. Dealings were
quiet.
Brokers with continental and far
eastern connections, the trade, and
professionals were among the buy
erS, while the South, New Orleans,
and spot houses, and locals sold
the staple.
The trimming of initial gains
was due to a slight increase in
hedge selling, and some profit TAX
ing. These bearish factors were
somewhat offset by rather large
buying by continental interests.
Last-minute weather forecasts
were bullish and indicated no rain
for Oklahoma, and other parts of
the drought-stricken southwestern
belt, where much crop deteriora-
ton has occurred.
October was quoted at 11.42 up
2, December 11.45 up l, March
11.55 up 2, and May 1854 up l.
