A more unfavorable outlook In the

over steel strike developments kept
traders out Of the market.

Increased complaints of insect ac-

interpretations Of the increase in the
British stabilization fund brought some
buying which caused October to rally
from II 96 to l239. 1t closed yester-
day at 1925, compared with 1909 a
week ago
An active covering movement was
attributed more to nervousness over
bearish factors than to any outstand-
ing developments in the cotton situa-
ton. A firm technical position had
been created on the decline during
the first half Of June.
The belief developed that losses at
that time had discounted such items
as the favorable crop start and mis-
glvlngs over the domestic labor Sit
uatlon. There were increased COM
plants of boil weevil infestation from
Eastern points, and advices from Texas
indicated the presence of fleahoppers
over the greater part of the State.
Advices from the central belt also
indicated weevils were threatening
cotton in that area.
Spot cotton markets continued Quiet
