 NEW YORK, Jan. l3.-while prices were .omewhat lower today, there did not seem to Do any decidsd change in the ma; kst either as Teg9rds sentiment or tone. At the open ng hiBher prices were scored. but so much cotton was for aale that holders were thoroughly dis Rouid not go up as selling might bring about enough of break to start a movement from F lower level The average pit | ader is very Elukck to change hs opinion and what Is more 2 the point is free to confess error at the anne lima To him 1t Is all a game regard ssS of anything else. He buys cotton for an 4dvanoe. When the price won't advance, he 4tmply turns around. sells his cotton and goes short to try the other game. That was About the development this morn ng. For days though absence of business would be respon- &fhle for httiS lower level. As we said a week ago when May broke through sixty buy for aufck advance At 975. 1t was a safe Believed in buying for another upturn. We said at that time that prices should not work back to H66, if this is q good market IT now beRins 10 look though the price might get q little lower simply because there is rot buninesB enough to take theootton and keen market gets dull and receipts increase why break is more than likely We had hoped that the short selling would create a short inter ssf. that the small rece pts would bring in Business and we would have an advance. We arc free to admit we arc very much discour- aged over the action of the market Figures gre very strong. Prices should not decline 10 points on such a position. But sentiment ts Q very pecu1 ar thing and there is not enough business for the coming to keep the market the weakness today makes us very cautious We would continue to buy moderately and @autiously on any breaks until the receipts do Increase in way to make the decline plain.

 NEW YORK, Jan 3-sIightly better prices were shown for cotton in tho early trading. but soon the mal ket turned easy on small dealings and declined Sfl4 points. The HOus- ton movement was in fuller scale.

As 1t is, short selling is regarded as extremely hazai dous. Half of January has gone by with cut receipts bling up as expected.
