Violent Fluctuations in
Cotton Market Past
Week on Liquidation
By Associated Press

NEW YORK. Jan. 26.-There have been
violent fluctuations in the cotton market
during the past week On Monday prices
broke sharply under heavy liquidation of
long accounts. May contracts. which had
sold at % Coo Saturday. broke to 27.s7c.
So much cotton was taken on this de-
cline, however, that 1t was generally
garded as indicating a great deal of con-
fidence in values and as soon as the
selling slackened. there was a rebound
which carried prices for all deliveries 'nto
new high ground for the season. May
contracts sold at 20. csc before tbs ad-
vance was checked, or lis points above
Mondays low. This price was touched
Wednesday morning. but the 29c level
brought out increased offerings and
seemed to create a reactionary sentiment
which became moro pronounced toward
the end of the week.
This feeling found no encouragement in
the news from the British cotton goods
trade or from the domestic goods mar
kets but appeared to be based be-
lief that spot cotton had been offered
more freely on the earlier week advance.
and that the south was preparing to plant
for very large crop this spring.
The decline was slowed down by scale-
down buying orders from the trade, but
the offerings became more general today,
and stop orders were uncovered on the
break. which extended to 81 96c for May
dliveries. more than lie pound below
Wednesdays high records.
Reports that trade calling became less
active during the middle of the week after
having absorbed many contracts Mon
day, NAV have contributed to the unsettled
ruling of the market. but the trade was
said to be heavy buyer when prices
broke below the Csc level today.
The rains reported in the southwest
have been considered beneficial fol-
lowing drouthy conditions, and probably
have accounted for some of the selling for
early new crop deliveries.
Octobers- was relatively weak today. and
1t was reported that some foreign trade in
terests who had been buying that delivery
during the drouthy period in Texas were
liquidating their holdings
Nervousness European political
conditions may have contributed to the
decline but brokers here think the bulk
of the selling was based on the extent

seem to be pretty well divided, and

Prices naturally weakened and the
selling became more urgent in tn alb
sence of any aggressive support.
A Few Rallies
There were rallies of a few points
from time to time, promoted by the
continued bullish character of trade
advices from Manchester and the
local market Tor cotton goods, but
they all met fresh selling, which
seemed to come from the south, Wall
street. western and local sources.
There also was heavy selling by Liv-
erpool presumably in liquidation of
contracts that had been purchased on
recent drouth reports from the south
west and which contributed to the
general unsettled appearance. March
broke to 27.75c, July 27.60c and Oc-
tober 25.30c, making net declines of
rs to S8 points.
Private cables from Liverpool this
morning said spot demand was less
active, but said there was a good
business for forward delivery and
that Manchester continued firm.
The southern selling here was ac-
companied by rumors that spot buy
ers were hedging purchases of cotton
in the south. Exports today were 49,
