NEW E COTTON.

NEW ORLEANS. Jan. l9.--Nervous
and irregular fluctuations with narrow
limits opened the trading in cotton to-
day. After a rise of five to 10 points
on the near months the whole list fell
off until it stood two to II points un-
der the close of last week The de-
mand strengthened at the decline and
a fairly strong reaction ensued which.
carried the trading months to a level
2 to II points over Saturdays finals
at the end of the first half hour Of
business.
The absence of any demand of con-
sequence for spots and the greatly i'm
proved weather conditions over the
belt caused moderate selling which
checked the upward movement and
sent prices down for net declines, which
toward noon amounted to 1928 points.
The forecast called for continued dry
weather and ~seasonably temperatures,
which attracted attention to accounts
from the interior of blowing being done
here and there.
Comment on the spot department re-
garding large transactions after hours

at as high as 1000 bales. gave the
contract market a steady tone and at

declines of but IL to IL points. Buyers.
however, did not put much aggres-
s~iveness into their operations.
