New York, Jan. 4,-The New York mar
ket in cotton opened very disappointIngIv
after being closed with the English mar
ket since Friday. There was not the
broadening of speculation that some claim
ed would appear with the opening of the
new year. At the call there was a de-
cline of 1@2 points on most options. and
later this increased to 3 points The hon
ed for increase in the speculation did not
appear and there was a feeling of dis
couragement in the trade. The prIncipal
factor OF the weakness was the heavy
movement at the ports and indications OF
a heavy movement at the Interior. The
market closed steady, with prices finally
unchanged TO points lower as compared
with Fridays final figures.
