CENSUS REPORT
LOWERS COTTON
Figures Better Than Expected.
Heavy Selling Follows Spots
Continue Strong at Decline.

NEW YORK. Jan 9-A bearsh gin
nings report issued this morning by the
government resulted in the cotton market
here opening barely steady, with prices 3
to 10 points lower than last nights close.
The January option displayed the most
sold down to 10 points from the opening
by heavy selling from the ring and com
mission houses.
The report shows figures much better
IMAM expected, giving ginnings to January
/ lz,9l9,251 bales, compared with l4,3lG-
600 to the same date last year. And near
~ 500 600 bales from December 10, 1912, to
January l, this year. After the call, the
market was given better tone when the
larger spot interests. which has for the
past several days been a free seller
turned buyer, absorbing most of the Of
Ierings. The market took the heavy sell
ing remarkably well and prices gained
about 3 to points of the early decline.
scattered short covering and good de-
mand from spot people was about the
only buying that prevailed today, The
market was given very little support from
that the larger part of the short interest
in the market has been pretty well COW
cred, and with the existing bearish SEN
timent it is expected that a large short
interest will be built up. The prevailing
question is how much cotton is yet to
come. Reports from over the belt say
that there is very little left. A number
of wires were received today saying that
spots are not following the decline. and
very little spot cotton is being offered 1t
present quotations. Should the spot sit
uation continue strong a serious decline
is not expected.
At the close the market was steady with
prices a net decline of 6dl3 points from
the final quotations of Wednesday.
