COTTON PRICES
TURN LOWER

NEW YORK, Jan. 81 0N.SO
Cotton futures sold moderately
lower throughout the morning
session, reflecting a decline in
Liverpool cables and profit taking
on Saturdays advance. Losses
were extended slightly after the
opening call.
Trading was only moderately
active and prices held in a com
paratively narrow range after the
initial decline. There was some
hedge selling in evidence. The
South, spot houses and New Or.
leans were the principal sellers.
The trade, the Far East, the Con-
tinent and Wall Street interests
were supporting the market.
The March contract sustained a
somewhat lighter loss than other
months. This appeared at least
partially due to fears in some
quarters that the month will go
to sharp premium over other
futures as did December and
January when these were spot
months. The option is selling at
about a 1-cent premium over the
new January contract at present.
Towards noon prices were
steady at moderate declines,
March was quoted at 11.38 off 3,
May lilo off 9, July 1888 off 7,
and October 1912 off S points.

STEEL ACTIVITY

The drop in steel operations last

creaSing steel commitments by
railroads and agricultural imple-
ment manufacturers are taking up
much of the slack caused by a
progressive decline in automobile
production, according to the maga-
zine, Steel"
Heavy tonnages have be e n
placed by the carriers for cars
and car repair material, the re-
view said, and in the past week
new inqiries for rails and equip.
ment were 46 per cent larger than
in any other week in IL months.
Federal loans have been approved
by the Interstate Commerce Com.
mission for several large railroad
purchases.
Farm Tools Help
Agricultural implement manu-.
facturers have raised production
schedules to avoid being caught
short for the spring trade as they
were last year, the summary de-
clared.
Steel demand from machine
tool builders is we'll sustained and
road builders count on billion
dollar expenditure for highway

adding that this calls for more
structural and reinforcing steel
than any time since the pre-de-
preston period. The summary
added:

A further decline of 10 to is
per cent in automobile assemblies
is expected for February, the re-
view said. The publication added:
"Scrap prices again seem to
be moving in reverse order to
the general trend of steel de-
