Cotton Market Opens Steady on Weather Tied Buying
The New York cotton market opened steady with a initial decline of 2 to 6 points but soon firmed as unfavorable weather boosted trade buying and fresh commission-house demand. October rose from 1669 to 1675 and January from 1692 to 1705, up about 8 to 11 points on active positions amid rains in the central belt and continued drought in West Texas. Reports from Liverpool cables offered little relief to the market.
