New York, Feb. 23.
Irregular conditions prevailed in the cotton market at the outset, but later prices steadied-up on trade and Wall Street buying. At the close, quotations ranged from 3 to 8 points up from the previous final levels.
Rubber prices were early firm on some commission house buying, but later the market turned reactionary on the lack of factory demand and the large increase in British stocks. At the last all-over, quotations ranged from 2 points down to 4 points up.
The easiness of foreign cables induced a lower opening in the Chi-cage wheat market and prices sagged: further on liquidation and reports of moisture being received in the southwest. At the final bell, losses from 1 to 1% cents were recorded.
