COTTON RECOVERS FROM EAJttaY BREAK Liverpool Firmness Overcomes Selling Tendency Remalnlig from Saturday. Cotton showed contin.??i nrrvousntit and irregularity BaVtBg yeiterdty't trading;, but reactionary sentiment was more in evidence and prices rtllitd sfter an early break. The close was lUasJya net I point lasrer ta '?'? point? iiichor. Reports of an improved spot demand in 'he South, ratrer a ?mailer volume of Hoathern lelliag ?ere. and n.dicHtioiM of a little freiKrU demsnd ?round the loc?l ring, promoted a ten? dency to cover ?hon contracts, while fresh buying for long account was held in check by nervousness, over che inter? national situation and apprehension? that there would be a renewal of ?pot offering or Southern ?ellm? on even a moderate rally. The market opened ?tea?ly et sn ad vance of 7 point? to a decline of 1 point m sympathy with relatively ?tesdv c;.ble?. There had been ?unie .-.ellina; in ? . narkel here ta Saturday, la an ? e patios that Lirarpeel traala] be a?l r-. I] a' ecrcd by v?.ar new?, bat I.iver pool wa?i betfrr than due. Th-?re ?la wme scattered covering her? at the ?'.art. New Orleans ?howed renewed or con? tinued weakness and price? her? soon broke under New Orleans and other Southern selling. The decline carried the active month? about H to 7 point? net lower, with July and later deliveries making: new low j?rour.?l for the move? ment. Thu break failed to bring in much lor.j: cotton, which ?as consid? ero! at additional evidence of a -'.-?:.g'.hened technic?! position. The market became r rmer on Liverpool buy .:.??. a moderate demand from trsde m terestl and eeveriBf? of short?. The ?a . ai .?d the active position* b to ? points net higher, but later fluctu? tions were irregular ?nd the clo*e ?ironed reactions of 6 or 7 point? from the be?t. Privat? cables attributed the itetdi ness of Liverpool to end-month calling by spinners, and the rush to till out February commitments wss tuppoted to bs largely responsible for the day's exports of sbout ?5,826 balei. Thsra was nothing to suggest any easing of ocesn ireignt ratet, slthough tht Im? proved demand .eported in some part? of the South may have reflected work o?i kTafch conmitments. Such report? were received from Dallas, which eald that Livcrpoo. wa-r a better buyer, while one of the private wire? received here from New Orleans also claimed an impreved ?pot deniar.?!. Southern *pot market?, ?a offlcisllv reported, were unchanged to ?? low?i, all the markets being unchanged with the exception of Houston, which re? ported a decline of I per.??, and Balti? more, which was nominally '4c lowe The lar?e*' sale? were t\tlt hales re? ported in New Orleans, wi?h price? un changed at 11.13c for middling.
