New York Cotton Market New York, Apr. 23.
Participation in the New York cotton market during the past week was disappointing, reflecting sceptic cism regarding the eventual effects of the latest Washington recovery moves. Some trade price-fixing and tired heavy sales of textiles helped the undertone of the market.
Crop planting is slightly late, at least a fortnight behind normal in the west. The weather bureau confirmed considerable damage of carly plantings in Texas coastal plains and Lousiana, In the meantime, while watching the stock market very closely, ther is a disposition to wait, pending definite results of the Washington recovery plans,—Reuter.
