NEW YORK, Jan. 21.-ERrly declines in the cotton market were followed by rallies on reports of a firmer spot sit- uation in, the south, but after selling up from s2.60c to s3.05c for March con- tracts, prices eased off again, with March closing at s2.72c or 43 points net lower. The general market closed steady at net decline of IS to 20 points.
 The market opened easy at a decline of a 10 to IA points. and showed net losses of about 40 to 5S points on pres ent crop months during the early trad- ing as result of liquidation, western and Wall Street selling, which seemed to be inspired by relatively easy Liver pool cables. the development of the of over Sunday reports to show any improvement in the domestic goods market.

At this, level. offerings tapered off with vate advices from Liverpool predicting that the strike of railroad men would be soon settled, and the market firmed up during the middle of the day on bullish spot advices from the south. Such dispatches were unusually numer-
 
 there was a better demand toward the, end of last week for both export and domestic account with offerings light and the basis higher.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 21.-It was a session of moderate declines in the cot ton market today, the main depressing influences being the strike news from England, few English firms cabling that 1t already was becoming difficult to transport cotton to the mills. There were several periods of recovery during the day but buying movements were not well sustained. The close was 29 to 43 points net lower on the session, the last sale of March contracts being at 32S3c and October at 27.26c a pound
 The early part of the day saw the lowest levels on the old crop months Liverpool was lower than due and the strike news from England occupied much of the attention Of the trade. Cold weather over the belt caused some selling because 1t was argued that the continued abnormally low temperatures would kill off world of insects. There were stages, however, when October was bought on complaints that weather conditions were seriously against new crop preparations. The early trading saw declines of 30 to 56 points on the list. March fell to 32.67c. October traded down to T.25c,, but late in, the day made the new low of 2722c.
 Following the first break a recovery was caused by cablegrams of a more encouraging nature regarding the rail- road troubles and the market came back to levels unchanged to IA points down, compared with the close of Satur- day. Later on another break to al- most the lowest of the day was caused by rumors that Liverpool was trying to cancel spot contracts but a swift re- covery to just about the highest levels followed the explanation by spot people that just the reverse was the case and that the rumors had their foundation in attempts by shippers to induce Liv- erpool to cancel contracts which the shippers were having difficulty in cov- ering. Toward the close the market sagged again, support being withdrawn.
