New York, December 14.-The cotton

were caught on the decline.
There was also a rumor of easier spot
markets, and while an effort was made
by some of the local longs to check the
decline after December sold 16 points I'M

taken care of; the market showed no
rally of consequence, and reached the

was much less of the bullish spot news
from the south than on yesterday, be-
cause of bullsh wires led operators 10
fear that the southern was weakening
