New Orleans Futures,

New Orleans, Jan. 6.-The cotton
market opened steady 2 points up to 4
points down, compared with the last
prices of Saturday. Gables were favor
able and stimulated buying moderately.
The weather map was regarded as being
favorable, low temperatures, rain and
snow being accepted as adding to the
season In the ground although bullish
traders pointed out that the time was
drawing near when farmers would want
dry weather IN which to complete their
winter blowing. There was little short
selling in the early trading and at the
end Of the first half hour of business,
prices were to Z points over Saturdays
close.
Liquidation Of the long account and
considerable short selling were in evil
dence from the middle Of the morning
and prices sagged. The cold and wet
weather over the belt, followed by many
reports from points in Texas that farm
ers were preparing for a stantial In
crease in acreage this next season, was
one of the causes for the selling, although
both sides displayed more or less of a
disposition to even up preparatory to
going over Thursdays report on ginning

from Liverpool reporting rumors of q
Balkan peace settlement. prices rallied
to a net advance of from 3 to points.
This bulge seemed to attract increased
offerings and the market continued quiet,
with January showing an advance OF 8
or points but with later deliveries hold
ing within point OF two of Saturdays
closing.
The market was easter late in the fore
noon under reports Of continued slack
Southern spot demand and liquidation by
some of the early buyers. Prices eased
OF to q net loss of about I points on
} January but Of s to points on the later
positions by midday.
The market broke sharply under gen
eral selling during the early afternoon,
with prices showing a net loss Of from
53 to 20 points. Reports that the supreme
court had handed down a decision adj
verse to the defendants in the so-called
cotton corner case appeared TO unsettle
general sentiment. but around 12.51 for
March, the decline the market was
checked by covering and prices later rail-
lied or points from the lowest.
