Cotton Market Breaks After Opening Rise Decline Hits Demand
The New York Cotton market rose about thirty points from Saturday but fell sharply during the day closing nearly a cent and a half below Saturday's close. Increased offerings of spots and futures and weak trade demand are blamed along with unfavorable financial conditions and European political unrest. The Liverpool market is demoralized as money tight in the South, Texas farmers face low prices for cotton seed, and Neuces County reports large early yields. H and B Beers advise farmers to refuse selling at current figures to avert disaster.
