of cotton: AT the opening of the cotton
market the outlook was very dark. Liver
pool broke sharply, declining 512-64d. Port
receipts were very heavy. Our market
opened II points down on the near posi-
tons Before the end of the call good
buying demand became evident, however,
and the later months opened only from
to points below Saturday nights clos
ing figures. After the opening there was
more for sale and the market adjusted
itself to a level of about points below
Saturday, at which it ruled comparatively
steady until just before the close. Heavy
selling by one prominent concern then
caused prices to go slightly lower. Janu-
airy opened at 6.35c, declined to 6.32c, ad-
vanced to 6.37c, again gave way and closed
at 6.33c, with the tone of the market
barely steady. There is no change in SEN
timent here. The general expectation is
that cotton will go lower, although the
surroundings certainly seem to point that
way. We cannot advise our friends Ia
make short sales"
