Foreign interests unleashed a flood
Of selling orders in cotton futures
today as overseas markets dropped.
Southern selling contributed to
pressure which left the list II to Is
points lower.
The decline was one of the most
severe since cotton started climbing
out of the late January slide.
At that, brokers said, the move
was contested all along the way
by trade and mill interests, who
bought vigorously as a result Of
heightened activity in textile mar
kets.
New York price premiums over
Bombay widened about 81 a bale
due to a sharp drop in the Indian
market, which led Bombay brokers
to take advantage of price differ
ences. Total sales from Bombay

mated at from $4,000 to 10000
bales.
