BAD BREAK IN COTTON.
The Panic Inaugurated Yesterday
Continues Today.

New York, Jan. 6.--The sensational
movement which threw the cotton
market into a panic late yesterday was
renewed at the opening today with
the remaining long interests utterly
demoralized by the weak showing of
the Liverpool cables and the rapidity
of yesterdays break.
Right after the opening March con-
tracts sold at $15.05, May at $3.50
and July at $500, or 80 to 81 points
net lower and from $3.50 to 1925 per
bale below the high records made late
in December. This represents a break
of from 90 to 1O2 points compared
with the prices ruling ia the market
just before o'clock yesterday after
noon, during the progress of which
hundreds of thousands of bales had
been liquidated by frightened longs.
With many traders convinced the
decline was the result of purely specu
lative conditions, a big demand de-
veloped around the low level and
prices rallied % or 80 points before
the end of the first hour. although
liquidation continued.
