OFFERINGS WERE SMALL

New York, January 19.-Fhe cotton mar
ket developede no new feature and ruled
generally quiet with quotations moving
within range of seven points The open
ing was steady. unchanged to points
lower or about in line with the lower
cables, which reported a decline Of SOS
points on futures at the hour of the
local opening.
But spot cotton there was in good
demand at the decline of points, and
there was no hint of further financial
trouble In the banking situation south.
There appeared to be no renewal of the
pressure which caused the break here
yesterday. Consequently offerings were
small and following the call moderate
covering that may have been influenced
to some extent, by the report of impor-
tant buying in the New Orleans market,
near the close yesterday, rallied prices to
a net gain of about 4d15 points. Follow
ing this, the market worked off under
private reports of weaker southern spot
markets, and in the early afternoon was
about 1Q2 points net lower. Toward the
close early sellers covered, rallying the
market to the best point OF the session,
prices being finally steady net Sq6 points
higher.
The movement continued very small
with the into-sight figures for the week
thought likely to fall around 100000 bales,
against $4,000 Dales last year. Official
reports from southern spot markets did
not in the least confirm the reports
received from private souces of increased
offerings, the market being quiet and
unchanged On the break following the
early bulgeS the bears used the industrial
disturbances in Russia and Germany as
all argument against prices, but this
phase of the situation evidently had little
weight in view of the appearance of con-
tinued firmness among spot holders

Ware G. LeIand's Market Letter,

News from the Liverpool market this
morning was unimportant. The early de-
cline was expected and although the I'M
dertone was stated to be bearish. the
market improved slightly toward the
close. The net loss on options was two
points and on spots six points. with sales
Oh 1900 Initial trades in our market
were at prices unchanged from yester-
days close. A small advance followed
on very moderate buying. Trading
throughout the day was listless but in
values no particular weakness developed
even though the spot news was not very
favorable. Advices from a number of in
terror points Indicate less determination
to hold cotton, while some state there
is no disposition to sell at present prices
A number show fatigue and offerings are
more free at a slight advance.
In addition to this condition there Is
a marked falling off in the urgent de-
mand The sustaining feature is the large
short interest and ta.e occasional appear
ance of investment buying.
Traders are inclined to await the census
report and conventions; pending these
events, 1t is not believed that changes
of moment will be observed.
