70 cents a bale today in moderate
volume, spot and commission houses

The higher bids were said to re.
fleet belief the farm bloc in congress

government sales of cotton below
parity prices.
Hedge sales, tending to dampen
enthusiasm, were believed to be
against anticipated March purchases
of government holdings, bids Tor
which were under consideration.
