SVfc Prices Irregular In Quiet Trading On Cotton Market Early Advance on Weather j Reports Met by Increased ! Offerings; Bearish Fea-j tures Believed Discounted The cotton market was comparatively quiet yesterday and the price movement was irregular. Prospects for freezing weather in the Western belt and the j firmr-r ruling of Liverptol encouraged '? an early advance, but the market met i increased offerings at 19.02 for January | and broke during the middfe of the day owing to reports of an easier spot basis in the South. Xo material pressure of Southern hedge selling developed to color these advices, however, and after selling at IS.50 January rallied to 18.85, closing at 18.75. with the gpneral mar? ket closing barely steady, net un? changed to 16 points higher. According to local brokers there has been something of a change in specula? tive sentiment. The idea that bearish features have been discounted hasj gained ground, but buying on that the- i ory luis been held in check by contin- j ued depression in the goods trade and I the fear of spot liquidation. In con- ; sequence there has been a disposition to even up commitments pending fresh < developments, and the market yesterday was narrow enough to be influenced by comparatively small orders either way. Southern spot markets as officially reported were mostly unchanged, the exceptions being an advance of 25 points at New Orleans and a decline of 50 points at Memphis. Middling quota? tion- ranged from 18.45 to 20.00, com? paring with the closing quotation of j 1910 for December contracts at New \ ork. The local market for spot cotton was | ?'. et and unchanged at 20.05 for mid-j iling. No sales were reported. The rango of prices follows: VTednes lay's Open. High.
