 The market opened easy at de- cline of 17 to A points under scat tering liquidation and some southern hedge selling. while there was also considerable selling of December and January. by brokers with Japanese connections. Reports of low temper atures in central and western belt sections with frost at Texas. Mem phis Sand Fort Smith, appeared to at tract very little attention, but there was good deal of covering at the early decline to 19.16 for January. and trade buying was accompanied by reports that domestic spinners ! ad boon good buyers of spots in the south late yesterday.
 There was also bullish comment on Nths increased amount of cotton on shirhoard awaiting clearance, which was supposed to foreshadow larger exports to Great Britain, and the market showed considerable firm ness during the middle of the morn ing, with January selling up to 19.62c. while March arvanced from 1s.92c to 1s42c. or Il to 20 points net higher. There was more realizing at these figures, while hedge selling increased In the last half hour, and the close was about 20 to 24 points off from the best.

Corn and oats moved in parallel lines under stop loss selling the fact that new No corn Is deliver able under December contracts in- creasing the pressure on that option.

 New Orleans. October s.-Heavy selling pressure was felt by cotton today. both in the early and the late trading. In between the market met solid support, on which 1t re- covered. and even went to small net advances. Selling was determined and persistent and was done in tho face of abnormally cold weather in the belt, accompanied by reports of damaging frosts in portions of north and west Texas and Oklahoma, and by a forecast of light frosts tonight for all states in the eastern belt.
 According to the gossip of the mar ket much of the selling was done by Ja m, Wall street and western interests. It was heavy enough to bring about declines of IT to 19 points in the early trading, which carried December off to 19.25c pound. The market gave ground only grudgingly and finally commenced to run Into increased buying. which continued Into the last half hour of the day. when prices were lifted 10 to 2e points higher than the close of yes- terday, December bulging to 19.53c. Just on the close another selling movement hit the market and sharp break resulted. so that last prices were points down to points up. compared with yesterdays finals, with December at 19.36c.
