COTTON PRICES
ARE NARROW

NEW YORK, April 9 GN.SO.
After it's several days of increased
activity the cotton futures market
was showing a tendency to relapse
into its former apathy today as
prices held irregular at levels vir-
tually unchanged from the previ-
Gus close. Better Liverpool cables
tended to steady the market
against any considerable profit
taking which might have developed
after recent advance.
The trade, Liverpool, Wall
Street and the Continent were in
the market for moderate amounts
of the staple. The South, New
Orleans and commission houses
sold and the higher prices estab-
lished yesterday began to attract
some ring selling when it appeared
likely today that the impetus be-
hind the advance was no longer
present.
The market was waiting today
for fresh news. Already having
discounted weather reports for the
time being there was no fresh
stimulus and no particular reason
to sell. other than taking Of minor
profits.
Towards noon the market was
quiet with May quoted at 1929,
off i; July 1902, off /; October
1898, unchanged, and December
10.41, up 2 points.

which included an optimistic re-

ingS and the revelation that ~
funded debt exists.
Peak earnings, recorded in 1926,
when $7.52 a share was earned,
descended to $685. per share
reached in 1929. Deficits were re-
ported in 1891 and 1882, but in
1888 a per share earning of 40
cents was reported. Two years
ago, earnings per share were $1.32.
While a return to record earnings
of predepression years, the Off
Gals point out, is not to be ex-
pected within a short time, there
Is ample basis for the belief that
the betterment which started a
