COTTON IS LOWER;

Markets Undertone. Steady.
Ginnings Report Fails to
Bring Sellers.
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, March 20.--After sell
ing up TO 1889 for July contracts in
today's early trading the cotton mar
ket turned easier, that delivery selling
down to 1910 or Ia points net lower.
July closed at 1911, the general mar
ket closing steady at net declines OF
S to 13 points.
The opening was to 6 points low
er in response to relatively easy Liv-
erpool cables. The tone was steady
and prices almost Immediately rallied.
Failure of the census report on total
ginnings for the season to bring in
larger offerings evidently disappointed
recent sellers. For a time the mar
ket showed considerable strength on
covering, combined with local or trade
buying.
May sold up to 1886 and October to
1855, net advances of 10 to IA points,
but at these figures selling orders from
the South eased the market. A little
Wall Street selling may have been in
fluenced by conditions in the stock
market and some local selling may
have been in anticipation of dlstp-
pointing Liverpool cables on Monday
These offerings were not particularly
heavy, but there was comparatively
little buying after the initial demand
had been supplied and the market sold
off to 1880 for May and 17.49 for
October, or about to IA points net
lower. Last prices were within.
point or two of the lowest.
The census report showed ginning
of 16, JOB, ,5S6 running bales from the
crop of 1925, making 16,0S5,90o equiva-
lent 500-pound bales. The ginning
made more running bales than any
other previous crop on record, but in
equivalent 500-pound bales, 1t was
slightly below the 1914 outturn of
16, 1874, $50, and in pounds, consequent
ly, would seem to be the second larg
est crop in the history of the South
The figures were about as expected
and were not generally considered an
important factor in the days iluctua-
tionS.
Private cables attributed the de-
cline in Liverpool to hedging and
liquidation, and said Manchester was
depressed, with only small cloth
demand from India, and China trade
