NEW ORLEANS, LA, Jan. 29.---The
long expected reaction In the cotton mar
-ket occurred to-day and country longs
went wild in their efforts to liqudate.
Their offerings swamped the market for
a while, and prices went down from 46

heavy buyers at the decline and even
at the lowest buying offers OF 9 few
hundred bales would send the market
up ~ points.
The alarm was sounded yesterday when
brokers commenced to ask $40 bale

1t is generally conceded that the false
reports concerning the situation IN the
far East spread about last night were We
responsible for the liquidation by the
weak long interest. All futures are made

the weekly lin sight" figures were small

thusiastic bulls. At one time the May
2ortions were 50 points under the high

recovery brought them up until they
were only, Al points below the. highest
level, and only 81 points lower than the !,

said the drastic liquidation had lett the

Trading was active and excited. Tho
initial advance was on better cables than
had been looked for nnd reports that spot
cotton was selling all through the interior
las. night at 1884 cents for middling. 1t
lie came evident. however, soon after the
opening that enort1 ors pro cit taking was
going on md prices were depressed sew
,eral points from theFbest. after which
they were rallied by the firmness in New
orleans and aggressive bull support
The rally did not hold and shortly nf-
ter noon there was q rapid decline Of
from 90 to 6 points.
Tho break was reported to BIO due to.
selling by two large commission houses
with out Of town wire connections,
which held long cotton for Southern and
Western interests. 1t was said the sales
were made because Of failure Of COR
respondents to forward necessary mar
gins. 81, q 3'.J. Y
The decline attracted a fresh demand
from scattered sources and with the
weaker long interest shaken out, the
market rallied several points on bull
support. NJ 5sS3..
The close was sensational. Just at
