COTTON SELLS OFF
ON GINNING REPORT
Early Offerings Absorbed and Mar

Trading
by the Associated Press.

by the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. January 23.--Th. cot
ton market opened barely steady to-
day at an advance of two points to a
decline Of twenty points, most posi-
tions being lower under liquidation
and southern and local selling, which
may have been promoted by rather
larger ginning figures than expected
The census report showing a,946,462
bales ginned to January 16, was
about 10000 bales above the fore
cast, but this excess was hardly suf-
ticient to cause any change of i'm
portance in crop ideas and after sell
ing off to $3.50 March rallied TO $3.50
on the relatively steady Liverpool
cables and a more favorable view OF
European conditions.
Rally Quickly Follows Break.
NEW ORLEANS. La, January %
The first impulse in the cotton mar
ket today was to buy on the good
cables. bu. after a few points ad-
vance selling increased because gin
ming figures of 9,946.462 bales as the
output to January 10 were somewhat
larger than private estimates. This
selling drove prices to 10 points
under the last sales of yesterday.
When it was realized that the gin
ming figures hardly pointed to n tota!
crop as large as 10.100,000 bales new
buying came in and it quickly lifted
prices. At the end of the first half
hour of trading the active months
were % to 80 points higher than the
close of yesterday. March traded as
low as 1901 pound and as high as
33.41; October traded as low as 21.2S
