Light trading forces commended to
a tie in the cotton futures market
today. Final prices were l point

While slow trade demand mir
rored slack business in textiles,
hedging sales remained conspicu-
ously small.
Local professional operators sup
piled a good part of the contracts,
which were taken by spot interests
and trade shorts.
Lack of hedge pressure empha.
sized the lateness of the crop and
the tardy fashion in which cotton
is coming to market. Intosight

trasted with the appearance of SOL
