GRADUAL FALLING
OFF IN THE MARKET
Cotton Stood at the Decline
Entire Day; 9 to Is
Points Down

New Orleans, January 12.VCotton stood
at the decline throughout the entire ses-
sion today, opening 3 to points down
and closed to 16 points down. No pro-
nounced selling was in evidence at any
time, but offerings We're sufficient to
cause gradual falling off
First prices were due to poor cables
on Liverpool futures. The tone was
steady in the opening, but brokers
poured a fairly large volume of selling
orders into the ring and they were not
very readily absorbed. In the early trad
ing the decline was widened to 10 to -
points This was followed by a small
recovery on bullish comment regarding
sales of 1900 bales on the spot in the
English market, and private reports from
spot centers in the interior of the cotton
belt showing that holders We're very firm
in their views regarding prices.
Buyers were not aggressive at any time
and short sellers gained confidence from
the lack of any display of bullish en-
thusiasm. Around the noon hour the
decline amounted to IL to IS points; fol-
lowing this was another temporary re-
action after which prices went 13 to ls
points under the last quotations of Sat-
urday. The tone on the close was steady,
with January showing the widest loss
The decline on January at one time
amounted to Is points, which suggested
that longs in that month were running
from tenders.

Spectators in wheat worked for the
most part on the belief that snow COW
ering had largely disappeared throughout
the winter crop belt. 4 good deal of
perpiexity was evineed, however, be-
cause. despite the assumed danger to the
plant, the amount of outside investment
was not as large as might have been
expected.
Corn showed firmness because the cold
weather was regarded as certain to in
crease feeling. Bullish sentiment, thoue n.
was tempered by predictions that If tn.
cold continued, heavier receipts might
be looked for owing to better conditions
for handling. Warehouse interests were
conspicuously on the bear side. Buy

COTTON IS LOWER

By Easy Cables

New York, January 1s.-rhe cotton mar
ket was lower and unsettled today. under

peared to be inspired by relatively easy
cables and rather active selling of March
contracts through spot house brokers'
The close was barely steady and from II
To Il points net lower
There appeared tot be quite good
many .over-Sunday buying orders around
the ring at the start and first prices were
steady at a decline of . to points. which
was better than due on the showing Of
Liverpool. The market soon weakened,
however, under more or less general SELL
ing, much of which was supposed to come
from interests who had bought On the
small ginning figures of last Friday. Pri-
vate cables attributed the decline i'll Iiv
erpool to rather freer hedge selling and
local liquidation was supposed To reflect the
disappointment of recent buyers that bull
lish ginning returns had not stimulated
a more urgent immediate demand from
trade sources or more material broad
ening of speculative support.
The talk of an increasing number of
unemployed in various Industries and of
further commercial troubles or failures
may have contributed to the selling move
ment. which came from foreign and
southern sources. as we'll as from local
longs. Leading spot interests were heavy
sellers of March and May, and while
these people We're credited with buying
some july. the increased offerings of near
months doubtless helped to nnsette the
market. Active positions showed net
losses of about II To Is points in the late
trading. Slight rallies followed on cover
ing, but business became less active on
bulges which were barely maintained as
the market closed within or points OF

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, January 12.-(Speeial)-On
local selling and offerings by spot houses,
with some speculative liquidation. tho
market opened lower and declined under
the pressure during the forenoon.
General advices were not specially bear
ish. but speculation was lacking and the
trading circumscribed. Prices closed at
about the lowest of the day. 1t is noted
that the requirements Of the current sea-
son will probably. exceed those of last
year, and that the spot demand in the
south Is good.
Despite this, the south seems to be
selling and the decline met with little
resistance The feeling in general busi-
ness Is better and the trade expects this
to extend to our market where the senti-
ment is not bearing notwithstanding the
recession prices.
