New York Cotton Market Ends With Scarce Demand and Decline
The New York cotton market closed nervously and irregularly with a net decline of 7 to 14 points. Old crop positions fell 7 to 8 points as rumors of an extra Congress session and a Lancashire spinners meeting on March 10 spurred liquidation. New crop months hit fresh intraday lows, while two small Georgia mill failures added to unease though the affected millers were small. Weekly behind the scenes figures showed expected takings by spinners, with a brief rally that soon faded under broad liquidations and bear pressure.
