Publication OF the government ginning
report struck the cotton market a hard
blow yesterday. and a drop OF 80 TO ~
points was recorded at the close. The re-
port showed ginning to November l ag-

private reports had indicated, ana conn
dence in a larger yield than had peen
predicted was shown in the selling when
followed the publication. According 10
the bears, the figures indicated a total
Weld OF nearly 100000 bales, including
linters and repacks, but bulls held that
ginning had been relatively rapid this sea-

would show a considerable increase over
the average to that date. There was
heavy selling at the start, with opening
prices Is to IS points down, active months
showing a further decline right after the
call. After the first furry OF LIQUIDATION
there was a slight rally. followed by a
renewal of Southern and wall street SER
