COTTON TURNS WEAK
AFTER EARLY GAINS
Favorable Cables, Covering
and Bull Support Fail to
Prevent Declines

New York. Jan. l3.-Thcre was a
feeling late Saturday that the cotton
market had been well liquidated as a
result Of the heavy selling toward the
close OF the week, and the opinion was
expressed by some Of the leading inter-
ests IN the trade that n good recovery
might be expected unless the South
turned easier.
Liverpool cables this morning were
considerably better than due on the
New ior'; close Of Saturday. but re-
ports from the English cloth markets,
were poor, and the domestic goods sit
uation was also disappointing from the
bull standpoint.
The local market opened steady at
an advance of lGa2s points on the ia
Norablc cables, covering and bull sup
port but quickly turned weak. losing all
OF the advance and breaking to net
decline Of l0@ 20 points.
The drastic declines reported in the
price of popular lines of muslins seemed
TO stimulate the selling movement, which
had been in progress toward the end
Of last week. and the break extended
to -1.I5c for March, before the end
of the first hour, or about 25 points.
from Saturdays close.
There was enough covering Of scat
tered buying to absorb offerings 1T this
level, but the market showed no rg,-
lies Of consequence.
