LIQUIDATION SENDS
COTTON DOWN WARD
Pressure Results From Con-
sumption Statement and
Several Other Causes

NEW YORK. Jan. Is Business was ac-
tive on the call on the Cotton Exchange
and the early tone was barely steady, with
prices 10 - points lower Pressure was
caused by the consumption statement. show
lng decline Of about per cent from last
wear. which was considered hearIsh. Com
mission houses and some room traders sold
quite freely, but there was good demand,
which prevented further concessions for q
time.
Toward the end Of the first hour, however,
liuuldation again became heavy and the
market sustained further heavy breaks,
which carried May down to 1850 and July
To iT.52. or about 40 points under Satur-
days close. representing a decline of from
81 to SS a bale since the high point of last
Tuesday.
Gwathmy Brokers were the principal
buyers ON the break. with Wayers, Geer
and EiCfnauy large sellers the latter csti-
mated 20 have sold 5000 bales Of March
and May.
Although the Government consumption
figures were responsible FOR part OF the
break there were other considerations, such
as the reports of a poor spot demand from
domestic mills and exporters and the abb
scnce of outside buying and the continued
unsettled shipping and diplomatic situation.
Liquidation started afrcsh toward midday
and. having little support, the market was
easily influenced. selling off TO lI2j for
March and i7.i5 for May, or about 10 points
under saturdays close and n decline Of
nearly S. a bale in two days Rain was
predicted for southern Texas, and. while this
had some influence on sentiment. the under
tone was weak enough without It and prices
declined easily under weight OF offerings.

perience.
The percentage OF sickness and

weak stock. If chick cannot
stand up on his feet at the end OF
forty eight hours he meets his fate

tom Of diarrhoea or weakness at
any time is cause for death. That
plan is followed straight through
the year. 1t il not considered
worth while to be troubled with
inferior stock.

chicks until they are forty eight
hours old. At the end OF that
tine they are fed milk, preferably
sour, and given grit mot grits) for
