NEW ORLEANS COTTON

New Orleans, Jan. 24.-Something of reactionary tendency developed in cotton today, following breaks to new low levels for the season in the morning session, and in the late trad ing prices were sent 20 to 80 points over yesterdays close. Last prices were unchanged to 65 points up, com pared with yesterdays finals. Heavy selling was felt around the middle of the morning, coming from the bear side, and it forced out a large line of long cotton belonging to foreign in- terests, according to the rumor. When offerings were heaviest prices were 25 to 95 points under the close of yes- terday.
 After the noon hour, the tone was much etter on a demand from realiz- ing shorts and new uylng based on the bullish claim that the decline had been unduly proolnged. The large ex- ports also caused much favorable comment. the total foreign movement

Aggressive selling repeatedly found the corn market almost without buy CTS and made values fade at times with suddenness that startled even radical bears. Declines in foodstuffs other than grain and packing house products tended from the outset to emphasize bearish sentiment as to corn. Y,31 M
 Sympathy with corn pulled down oats.
 In provisions the notable feature was the absence of support from packers. Demand for meats was said $ to have been curtailed by efforts to cut the cost of living.

New York Cotton.

New York, Jan. PA further break during today's early trading was followed by recovery of ap- proximately> one cent pound ill the cotton market today with a close very steady, net unchanged to 62 points higher.
 The market was seHsationally weak and unsettled during the earlier trad ing. The closing weakness of Jan uary, in which trading ended at mid day, seemed to increase the nervous ness of remaining longs in later de- lveres, and at tines the selling was very aggressive.
 After the near month liquidation slackened, the market turned easier on sovering and buying for reac- tion. The tone remained nervous and the bulges met increased offerings but there were reports of an incras- cd trade demand particularly for ear ly new crop months. This helped the market in Ns rate trading. The close was few points off from the best under realizing by early buyers.
