POTATO MARKET
 VERY UNSTEADY
Indications on Morris Ave nue Are That Potato
 Prices Will Go Up

Quotations on Morris avenue show no changes except in country eggs, which are off 1 cent per dozen. All spot cot ton is also off about points
 In the poultry market the supply and demand is about equal, but there is not an over abundance being received. Prices remain the same.
 The price of all dried peas and beans are inclined upward, due to heavy export There are very few navy beans on the market
 The Irish potato market is very un- steady, and no prospect of its settling down any time soon; in fact, many deal- CTS are of the opinion that the high water mark has only just begun. Po- tatoes this and next week will probably be purchased at more favorable price than will be offered again this season. The prices must either go very high or the supply will be entirely used up within the next 30 to 60 days. A heavy demand for export may develop. In the fish and oyster market business continues good, with good supply. The red snapper sup ply Is about back to normal.

EASIER SPOT MARKET SENDS COTTON DOWN
Market Had No Aggressive Support and Weakened
 With Wall Street Selling

New York, January M.-The cotton market was lower today under Wall street, southern and local selling, which carried March contracts off to 12Kc or 19 points under Saturdays closing quota tion. Moderate rallies followed, with that delivery closing at 12.21c, and with the general list steady at net decline of to B points,
 The census report showing 10,766, POP bales ginned prior to January 16 against l4,9l5S5O last season indicated the small est ginning for the first half of January on record, and was considered by local statlsticians as pointing to a total lint yleld within the government estimate. These figures, which were published at the opening failed to create any buying power however, and after starting at decline of to points in response to lower cables, active months sold Il to b points net lower before the end of the first hour
 Houses with Liverpool connections ab- sorDed good many contracts on the decline and as offering tapered off after the first furry of liquidation prices raI- lied some or points from the lowest
 There was no important or aggressive support however, and the market weak ened again during the afternoon with
 
 jed by considerable Wall street selling while there were also rumors of easier spots in the southwest and in the north ern part of Georgia. Stop loss orders were uncovered on the break which car ried May off to 12.3Sc. July to 12.52c and octooer to l25lc or about 10 to 20 points net lower, and point or two under the lowest level of last week. After the execution of the stop orders, the selling. was less active and closing prices showed rallies Of some or points on cov- ering.
 Liverpool was buyer on the afternoon break as well as on the early decline ana some traders now estimate that the straddle short interest in this market has been reduced at least 50 per cent during the past two weeks. No change was reported in ocean freight rates and ex- pectations of increased acreage seemed to figure in the decline
