SELLING PRESSURE
 EXPRESSES COTTON
Increased Offerings in Mar ket Causes General List
 to Break Sharply

New York, January 19-A further ad- vance encountered increased offerings in the cotton market today and after selling at 17.soc early, May contracts broke to 17.45c in the late trading. and the gen. eral list closed steady at a net loss of r to 23 points.
 There was renewal of yesterdays late buying movement at the opening. It was encouraged by relatively firm cables and bullish overnight spot advices from the south, and after starting at an advance of to ' points, the market sold 13 to IA points net higher before noon. Trade in terests were moderate buyers while at times covering was quite active, with March selling at 17.62c and July at 17Soc. This advance, however, seemed to run the market into more selling pressure. There was Liverpool and New Orleans selling here, while there was realizing by recent buyers for a reaction, and 1t seemed that reports of additional restric- tions on speculative business in Liverpool made rather a bearish impression in some quarters After a break of about 20 points, the market steadied up on re- newed covering and bullish southern spot advices, but soon weakened again under further liquidation and rather aggressive selling by local and Wall street interests. Possibly the smaller exports for the day encouraged these offerings, while there was also talk of advancing freight rates and sentiment was unsettled by the re- ported loss of additional steamers which naturally emphasized the hazards of ship ping while commerce raiders are still
 operating. Prices reached the lowest 1rA f.-orl rl l1farr rrrtft h March selling at 17.26c and July at 17.45c. Closing figures were at practically the bottom. The weekend figures showed a sharp decrease in the worlds visible supply of American, but seemed to attract little attention.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, January 19.-(Special )-The Liverpool market did not fully respond to our advance of yesterday. but more inn portant than the market was the con- firmation, through the news agencies, of our cablegram of two days ago that further restrictions had been placed upon all operations in Liverpool. excepting those absolutely necessary for the actual spot transactions.
 Our market was firm and advancing when this dispatch was received, but it slowly declined with but one period of strength from that time on to the close.
