COTTON SAGS ON
LACKOFSUPPORT
YORK, Dec. 20.--In face of a
bullish government report the cotton mar
ket here opened barely steady today,
with prices showing irregularity, being 10
Points lower to 2 points higher than last
night s close. The census report shows
figures for the total ginned bales up to
Uo C l rnber 13 at 12.424.853. against 11,844.-
43L bales to December 1. showing bales
ginned for the period of 580.421.
This report was merely a stand-off, in
the opinion of tbe majority of traders. It
was said that anything under 600,000 bales
woind be bullish, but sentiment at the
outset was against the market, and the
ring sold freely with the large spot in
terests buyers. However, their purchases
were limited and prices lost 4 to 11 points
within the first fifteen minutes. After
the call the absorption was of a better
character and prices rallied 2 to 7 points
from the early decline.
At the close the market was steady
with prices a net decline of 146)20 points
iront the final quotations of Thursday.
