sold down in the afternoon session, caus.
ing a sharp break in the general list and
carrying prices to new low levels for the
present movement. New Haven dropped
a. points to 40, the minimum price estab-

protection of tho market to remove all
minimum price restrictions from United

of the minimum day by day.
1t was insisted in many parts of the

NEW YORK. Jan. 29.-The cotton mar
ket opened steady, 9 TO Z points net high

spot demand with little selling pressure.
Trading was quiet and lacked feature.
business there was being confined
mostly to Wall street and some little
Western buying. while Liverpool and the
South sold. Fluctuations In the early
trading were unimportant.
The undertone continued unsettled In
the afternoon and renewed Wall street
liquidation caused fresh weakness.
Southern spot markets made a favorable
showing, ruling steady with Augusta hc.

selling In the local market, but this was
believed to be of a speculative charac-
ter and no hedges against actual. Rules
at the close were 8 to 10 points lower.

MARKET DEVELOPS
AT CHICAGO TODAY
Quotations Decline &c to &c
From Yesterdays Close.
News From Abroad Bull
ish-Other Grains Off.

CHICAGO. Jan. 20. - A r~eactionary
tendency developed in the wheat market
his morning. May opened at $LJoh to
S1.497s, against S1.49% at the close yes
terday, and July at s1,SilS, against sl.3i1s,
yesterdays last price. Before sufficient
resting demand was reached TO support
the market quotations declined y to &c.
from yesterdays close. A good many
traders seemed TO favor n little setback.
The news from abroad was bullish.
American winters at Liverpool were held
at an advance of 3 to 4iRd., and there was
buying at the higher prices, The gen
eral undertone of the English market was
strong, but trade was not active. There
was no change in the attitude of mtllers,
who continued to buy. The belief pre-
walls abroad that. with the present In
adequate tonnage In Argentina, COMPETE
ton for immediate shipments will remain
active.
Shipments from Argentina for the week
were smaller than had been expected,
amounting to 1927, 600 bushels, against L.
100000 bushels a year ago. All except
$4,000 bushels, which went TO the United
Kingdom, were consigned to the CONT
nent and Brazil.
Corn opened unchanged. but at once
sold off y to &C. The support was poor
and the selling active. There was less
business at Liverpool, but prices there
were firm on the strength of Plate offers.
Unsettled weather was reported in Argen-
tina, where shipments for the week were
below expectations, amounting to 2,9l6,No
bushels, against 1,o5o,OOO bushels n year
ago.
Oats opened hc. higher. but also de-
clined. There was considerable profit
taking and not a great deal of support.
Shipments from Argentina. for the week

selling.
