New York, Oct. 30.
The cotton market was early steady to-day with trading slightly more active, and prices declined on Liverpool cables, favourable weather and some increased hedging as well as foreign liquidation, The decline, however, uncovered trade support and the market steadied-up on spot houses buying December option. Fiñally, the market again eased on further increased hedging but closed steady, with quotations ranging from 7 to 8 points down.
Trading in the rubber market reflected the firmness of cables. Prices early advanced irregularly, with dealer selling against primary offerings tending to offset further support accredited to factories. At the last call-over gains of 16 to 25 points were recorded.
Wheat prices in -Chicago opened narrow, but later steadied on Argentine frost advices, the firmness of Winnipeg and dry weather in the Winter wheat belt. At the same time, a limited foreign demand and the absence of speculative interest were restricting influences. At the final bell, gains of % to % of a cent were registered.
