NEW YORK, Feb. 20 - (PE
Cotton futures declined 80 to SO
cents a bale from the previous
close in quiet dealings today. In
creased liquidation in the March
1947 contract, prior to first notice
day next Tuesday was the main
factor.
There was considerable switch
ING from the March delivery into
later positions and trade buying
rallied the market to small gains
in early dealings.
|. Hedging by leading spot firms
was associated with more active
selling of spot cotton at primary
markets., induced by the advance
in prices to "a cents a pound.
Some riders turned cautious on
the fear that the cotton export
subsidy might be eliminated en-
tirely following the recent 2 cents
a pound cut.
Futures closed 80 to 60 cents
