COTTON MARKET
HAMMERED DOWN
Selling Movement Is Continued
Nearly All Day
NO CAUSE FOR DEPRESSION
Opinion Differs as To influences, Some
lnclining To Bearish Anticipation
of cinners' Report as the
Cause of the Slump.
NO CAUSE FOR DEPRESSION

New York, January 2.-The cotton mar
ket was moderately active and weak to-
day, with the close steady in tone but at
a net decline of % to 26 points Sales 220,-
900 bales estimated.
The opening was easy at a decline of 6
to 16 points, and within the first 15
minutes active months showed a net loss
of 15 to 20 points under active selling for
both accounts. One broker was credited
with selling between $4,000 and 10000 bales
of March during the first few minutes,
supposed to be for long account, and
while there was no bearish news of suf-
ficient Importance to explain the decline,
selling became general as soon as 1t was
seen that long cotton was coming out In
volume. During the middle session prices
rallied few points on covering, but
weakened in the later session, and
reached the low point during the last
hour. when January sold to 1916 and
March to 1905. The close was little
up from the lowest on the active months
Various theories were advanced to ac-
count for the decline Some were in
clined to the opinion that the difficulties
reported in certain railroad circles have
affected people who were long of cotton,
while others believe that the selling was
due to bearish predictions as to the
showing of the ginners' report and un-
favorable trade conditions. The heavy
selling here came as surprise to most
local traders, who had expected a narrow
market in the absence of Liverpool and
New Orleans. The last two markets will
reopen tomorrow morning. Receipts at
ports, 1864, against 81, 400 last week and
1913 last year. For the week, $40, 600,
against 954,14 last week and 314, 1872 last
year. Today's receipts at Houston, 924S
against 1O,9O3 last year.
