Australian shipments of wheat proved
a decided surprise, amounting to more
than double those of year ago. The
result was to weaken quotations in i'm

tine reports of fine weather promoting

Argentina emphasized the weakness and

COTTON DISPLAYS
RENEWED STRENGTH
Market Later Drops Off Un-
der Realizing for Over
Weekend

New York, January 16.-Cotton showed
renewed strength during today's early
trading but eased off la.er under realiz-
ing for over the weekend and consid-
erable selling, which appeared to be en-
couraged by a somewhat bearish view
of weekly statistics. the large yield of
linters reported up to January l by the
census bureau and rumors of full ginning
relations for the period ending with the
close of business yesterday. The close
was barely steady and from to 6 points
let lower.
There was a considerable demand at
the opening with active months selling
to 10 points higher ON covering and
fresh buying inspired by relatively firm
cables and bullish overnight southern
spot adVices. March contracts sold at
l2.66c, making new high ground for the
movement but the higher level attract
ed profit taking, and sentiment seemed
to be bearishly influenced by the census
report showing S96,9s4 bales of linters OBJ
tanned from the growth of this season
up TO January l, compared with 352 972
last year. Owing to numerous reports
that cotton seed had been badly dam
aged by unfavorable weather. many trad.
ers had anticipated the yield of lnters
this year would fall short of last sea-
son and the official figures consequently
led to revision of crop views.
Rumors that preliminary returns to one

tracted considerable attention and whil.,
such ginning would compare with 1s1, ,0Od
bales for the same period last year, these
rumors We're also considered partly re-
eponsible for the selling movement. Marcn
remained relatively firm, increasing its
premium over May to % points, COM
pared with 10 points at the close yester.
day and the relative strength of that
position probably helped to check the
decline in the late trading. Rallies, how.
ever, were limited, and closing prices
were practically the lowest of the day.
