COTTON MARKET TENDING
IN FAVOR OF BUYERS

NEW YORK, jan 14.-Conditins

to lead traders to believe that the mr.
ket would open quietly and without M

the situation was correct. for the op.n-
ing was quiet and unchanged prices to

entirely of a local character. After
the opening the market was quite IN
interesting, with a tendency, however,
somewhat in favor of buyers Later
some orders came in through wire
houses, and this steadied the maract
a little The weather map indicated a
killing frost at New Orleans and ,.or-

clear, with the exception of light show
