NEW YORK, January 26.-The cot

the initial demand seemed TO come

This advance met some Southern
hedge selling or liquidation, however,
and prices sagged off before the end
OF the first hour, May reacting to
1855. or within 5 points of Saturdays
closing. Private cables reported COW
ering in the Liverpool market and
trade buying of new crop positions
The selling after the opening here
