RAPID RECOVERY
 AFTER AN EARLY COTTON DECLINEI
By Associated Press

NEW YORK, Jan. 29.-A further decline during today's early trading was followed by a very rapid re- eovery in the cotton market today. May contracts, which had sold off to 27.i5c on the early break, or 43 points het lower and 160 points below the high record of last Wednesday, ra.- lied to 28.22c and closed at 2S.1tc. The general market closed steady, to 27 points net higher, old crop deliveries showing net gains of 12 to 27 points.
 The market opened steady, to 22 points higher on the relatively firm showing of the Liverpool cables and bullish over Sunday reports from Manchester and the domestic mar kets. This bulge was quickly checked by continuation of last weeks sell ing movement. however, and the mar ket weakened during the middle of the morning. Reports of further rains In the southwest probably encourag ged the selling, which carried March off to 27.19c and July to 2710c, or 43 to AT points net lower on old crop months, while October sold at 24.S0c, or 35 points net lower.
 Traders Are Buyers
 Trade interests were buyers to fix prices on a scale down, while the de- cline of about $S per bale from the high prices of last week brought m considerable covering and the mar ket turned firmer. Bullish spot ad- vices from the south indicating that the decline in futures had failed to disturb the confidence of spot hold CTS, and reports from Texas that the rains had been insufficient, doubtless

to ,is points, with March at 27.57c pound.
 The opening was higher. and this initial advance, based wholly a better Liver pool than due, carried the market IS to IT points over the level of last weeks close, but when March touched 27.55c, heavy selling for both accounts occurred and d quick setback occurred. Much of this selling appeared to be the result of rains in Texas and prospects of further mois- ture for both Texas and Oklahoma, all though more less selling could be traced to unfavorable foreign political news. The decline continued until well after the middle of the morning, carrying March down to 27.02c.
 New buying appeared during the middle of the day, but buyers did not become very aggressive until the afternoon, when they carried everything before them, sending March up to 26.73c and all posi- tions to new high levels for the day. where the list showed net gains of 21 to 27 points.
