New Y'ork, April 22. There was a
lenewsl of yesterday's selling move
ment at the opening of the cotton
market this morning with first prices
vollinp- 10 to 25 points lower and
with active months selling 35 to 55
points below last night's closing- fig
ures right after this call. This break
carried May and October off about
200 to 250 points, wh;ch seemed suf
ficient, to attract fresh buying. Prices
rallied in consequence, but the tone
of the market "was nervous and un
settled with sentiment evidently dis
turbed by the uncertainty ot Japan
ese conditions, the decline in ex
change and the action of the stock
market.
