COTTON DECLINES
IN LATE TRADING
Moderate Opening Advance
Exhausts Immediate
Buying Power.
JANUARY DOWN TO $3.50
Unsettled Feeling as to Condi.
tons in Domestic Goods
Market.

A moderate opening advance seemed
to exhaust immediate buying power in
the cotton market yesterday and there
was very sharp break in prices during
the later trading. Business was by no
means active or general, and compare
lively few contracts changed hands, not
withstanding the violence OF the price
movement. January declined from 81 SIS
10 1850 and closed at that level, with
the general list closing barely steady
at a net decline OF 70 to 130 points.
The appearance OF increased selling
orders from the South helped to unsettle
sentiment in the late trading, but South
ern spot adv,ces received during the
day were almost unanimously bullish.
and the chief factor talked OF on the
decline was the unsettled state Of affairs
In the goods market.
Further reductions were reported in
marine insurance rates, and according to
wires received from Savannah insurance
Is now obtainablc for Antwerp, Holland
and Scandinavian points at approx

rates are said to be down to one-fifth

reports from the South reported that
exporters were In the market for spot
cotton. There was very little sign of
trade buying around the local ring, how
ever, and there seemed 90 be very
unsettled feeling as to conditions in the
domestic goods market.
The wage dispute in New England
appears to have settled for the time
being, as New Bedford advices reported
an agreement to continue the old scale
until trade conditions shaped themselves
more clearly.
London cables reported that cardroom
operatives in Manchester had threatened
to strike beginning with the second week
in December II they were not given an
advance Of 40 per cent in their pay.
