ACTIVE Months Make New Low
Ground for Movement Under In
huence of Bearish Factors - Close
Steady Within Point or Two OF
Days Lowest Figures, Showing
Net Decline of 11a17 Points

New York, Jan. 13.-The cotton
market was generally easier and un-
settled today with most Of the active
months making new low ground for
the movement under continued liaui-
dation Of scattering pressure, which
seemed TO be inspired by increased ar
rivals here from the South and pre-
dictions that interior holders will soon
begin to sell hedges against remaining
old crop supplies should the decline
continue. The close was steady, but
within a point or two of the lowest,
with last prices showing a net de-
cline of from 11a17 points.
The market opened steady at a de-
cline of 5a6 points. the more active
positions sold Sa17 points lower short
ly after the opening in response to dis
appointing cables. A rally of s or 8
points followed on reports that pre-
iiminary returns showed a very light
ginning for the first Of January. but
the improvement brought out increas-
ed offerings for both accounts and
prices broke again, reporting the low
est point of the day in the late trad
ing. Below 1890 for March and 1885
for May. quite an active demand was
encountered which, was said to in

while a considerable volume Of buying
by houses with Western connections
helped the tone toward the close.
Wall street houses were very heavy
sellers during the day, and there was
quite good deal of selling here by
houses with Southern connections
