CABLES UNSATISFACTORY

New York, January 24.-The- cotton market opened easy at decline of 1 to 5 points and subsequently, ruled point or two easier. cables being unsatisfactory and public support not forthcoming to the extent required to hold the market against disposition to liquidate long in- terests and the increased volume of sell ing for short account. The local weak ness was increased by southern selling orders, with the New Orleans speculative market, heretofore the strongest on the list, showing leading weakness as com pared with New York conditions. The buying was chiefly by shorts who had profits in sight and were disposed to se- cure them in view of bad weather south, which was looked to to check next weeks movement.
