GOOD UNDERTONE
IN NEW ORLEANS
Bank Failures in Brazil
= Work Against an
Advance

New Orleans, January 1.-THE cotton
market managed to preserve a good un-
dertone today. although at times it was
subjected to rather heavy selling which
worked against values.
Early in the session the tendency was to
advance. but just when the market looked
to be in shape for a healthy rise reports
OF important bank failures in Brazil came
in, offerings Immediately increased and
tie net advance was replaced by a net
decline. The effect of cable news from
Brazil was out of proportion to its i'm
portance to cotton, but the disposition to
sell was increased by tile fact that to /.
morrow is a holiday In this market while
the first thing Friday morning the census
bureau will issue it's report on ginning
up to December 81. Longs feared that
any important foreign news tomorrow
would find them with no chance to pro-
tect themselves, hence liquidation was
stimulated
The opening was steady at an advance
OF l to points. which in the early trad
ing was increased to 74S points On
tie Brazilian dispatches prices fell to a
level 6Q7 points under yesterdays last
quotations In the afternoon the market
was again steady, with recovery to
yesterdays closing level The close was
steady at a net loss for the day of 2 to
points.

that some export flour had been sold by
Minneapolis mills, Actual clearances of
wheat and Hour at the Atlantic seaboard
were ON generous scale, and many spec
ulators were disposed to agree with a
suggestion from high authority that
prices the world over were about at a
minimum below which growers would not
sell except after long wait
Lowest prices for the month were
touched by wheat early in the day on
bearish cables and depression in corn.
Rumors of serious financial trouble IN
Brazil had transient effect also, but
every Influence of Il discouraging sort
was more than offset when export buying
began to stimulate the market. Stiff
margin calls brought on heavy liquida-
Htion by miscellaneous holders of corn.
Shorts grabbed profits on millions of BUSH

dev cloped a stubborn tone, partly be-
cause of signs of a better demand from

Spinners and Europe arbitrage brokers
bought during the morning, causing a
moderate Improvement, but the local
trade is bearish on the expected gin
ners' report. They sold freely on the
advance on the idea that the foreign
markets would not hold the recent I'M
provement. There were also reports
of bank failures in Brazil, though the
coffee market had not heard of them
Altogether the market selling off
some 10 points from the best Is wait
