COTTON FUTURES

The Opening Easy With Prices
 Unchanged.
SOME SELLING OF VALUES
A Few Took Advantage of the Decline toEven Up Accounts-U -Unfavorable English Advices Responsi-
 ble for the Weakness

: New York, January 15.-Cotton futures were neglected almost from start to finish in the local market today. Nobody ap- peared to be in possession of orders and sealpers were indifferent
 The opening was easy, with prices un- changed to points lower, the decline be- ing more in the way of a response to weak cables than to special pressure from the bear side.
 Later unfavonable English advices caused a further selling of values here. but in no way encouraged shorts, not few of whom took advantage of the decline to even up accounts.
 Though receipts were light and southern market generally strong, the trade over looked these factors and diverted attention exclusively to the situation in South Af- rica. New Orleans and a local export house were identified as the principal buy CTS, though Liverpool purchased scattered let's from time to time. Liverpool weak ness was reported later in the day as due partially to heavy selling for the purpose of unloading old straddles. The market closed steady at net loss of 1GD2 points.

Talbott S/Palmer's Cotton Letter Private Wire from l.. De Guffloens


 By Private Wire from l.. De Gufloens &, Son.
 New York, January 15.-We are now fast approaching the time when active prepara- tions for the next crop will be made. From accounts so far at hand there are indica- tions of increased acreage The high price this season is feared will result in fncreas- ed planting and this being the general view of the future it is difficult to see why the market should do any better in the matter of price. The weather in Texas has been unfavorable for the movement of the crop and the impression prevails that the ex- cessive rainfall has materially retarded the receipts At all events this is suspected to be the case. As to the course of the market everything is mixed up. and from what can be ascertained a 90OO,OO0 crop has been largely discounted.
