SEW ORLEANS, La, Jan. 11.-General
selling carried the price Of cotton to new
16.62c and the list showinE: losses at one
time of 81 to 43 points. Selling was not
confined TO any one section of the trade.
although short selling still was much i'll
evidence. Considerable long liquidation was
felt. Some points i'll the interior claimed
that traders in the country were going
short of the contract market.
The continued uncertainty over business
in general and the failures that continue
to crop out here and there probably are
the real reasons for the temper the market
buiish news. and Yesterday small ginning
returns appear already to lie forgotten.
Hester issued a statement on commercial
weights of cotton bales today which was
most unfavorable, the average weight of
bales for the first five months of the sen
son being put at 5l3.91 pounds. against
523 o., during the same period last year.
There is this much to he said about the
situation The technical position is now
such that it will require constant selling
to further prolong the downward movement.
