NEW ORLEANS COTTON.

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 21.--Very poor
cables caused selling in fairly large
way on the opening of cotton market
today and prices fell off for moderate
depressions. Reports of serious labor
troubles in Italy increased the pressure
and in the first half-hour Of business
the trading months lost Is to IS points.
The market was steadied at the de
cline by the cold and wet weather in
the Western belt. which was taken to
mean that further delay would be
caused to new crop preparations.
Reactionary sentiment developed
rather strongly and offerings increased.
There was more or less selling for short
account following the posting Of lower
foreign exchange rates and late in the
morning the trading months were at
net losses of IS TO Sc points. The eff
feet of adverse weather conditions in
the western belt was offset. to con-
siderable extent, by messages from the
Atlantics claiming that new crop prep
arations were further advanced than
usual at this time of the year.
In the early afternoon the total of for
eign exports for the day was 63.S05
bales, against 46,165 this day last year.
This. coupled with realizing operations
on the short side, made for recoveries
of from Is to 20 points, but the strength
did not last and toward l o'clock prices
were at net losses Of SO to SIS points.
Spots closed steady at decline of rs
points: ordinary, 25,75; good ordinary,
27.75; low mddling, 1925; middling,
80. 10; good middling, 41.75. Sales on the
spot, SOS; to arrive, 100.
Futures closed easy at decline of Is

NEW YORK, Jan. New low rec
ords on English, French and Italian ex-
change we're made at the opening OF
the market here today. Demand bills
in the pound sterling, which reached a
record low of S3,64h on Dec. II, fell to-
day to $3.62&, off "a from yesterdays

French exchange. which was quoted
yesterday at the rate OF Ills francs for
the American dollar. a new low, dropped
today to 1877, or II points below last
nights closing quotation, Lire checks
dropped from yesterdays new low OF
1887 to rate Of 1907 for the Ameri-
can dollar.
The adverse trade balance against
European countries and the uncertainty
regarding foreign trade are held re-
sponsible for the demoralized exchange
rates.
Rates OF Belgian, German and Aus
trian exchange also dropped to new low
levels Belgian franc were quoted at
the rate OF 1903 for the American dol
lar, German marks at 1.52 cents, as com
