COTTON MARKET

NEW YORK, Jan. II (P)-The cot
ton market was lower today under fur
ther liquidation coupled .---'+'' 1o"a' and
southern selling promoted by relatively
easy Liverpool cables, reports that
Lancashire mill operatives would re-
fuse to accept proposed reductions ON
wages and private reports of rain in
west Texas. There seemed consider
able doubt as to whether it was sui
ficient to relieve droughty conditions.
Prices made new lows for the move
ment, the market selling 20 to rs points
below yesterdays closing figures but
trade demand developed around the
1872 cent level for May which checked
the decline and gave it a steadier ap-
pearance in mid afternoon.

A marine combat patrol working out

that there was no evidence of rebel
activity, and it is believed Sandino's
forces have retired to Ell Chipote
which he made his headquarters after
the marines took Quilali.
At Jinotega it has been reported
that Sandino left Ell Chipote Sunday
stating that he would go to Jinotega
and that his arrival would be announc-

explosions took place as forecast, but
Sandino did, not appear and it is be-
lieved that the rebel chieftain wanted
to warn his followers to leave the

PRICES DRIFT In
QUIET SESSION
ON N. Y. MARKET

NEW YORK, JAN II up - Stock
prices drifted rather airlessly today in
the quietest full session since July. The
brisk selling movement which had been
under way for several days appears to
have subsided at least temporarily, and
''bull' pools resumed operations in a
few specialties. Final quotations dis
closed a curious mixture of gains and
losses with the former predominating.
Call money held at Az per cent all
day although a shading of that rate
had been expected during the after
noon The deficit in clearing house
reserve Saturday combined with the
new federal reserve regulations re-
quiring semi-weekly computations OF
reserves instead of weekly reports, un-
doubtedly tended to reduce the volume
of credit available on demand loans on
securities collateral There was no
change in the rates on time money and
commercial paper.
Owing to the conflicting reports con-
cerning the fight for control of Le-
high Valley railroad at the annual
meeting of stockholders today, Wall
stree apparently made no attempt to
make market capital out of the pro-
ceedings. Lehigh Valley common clos
ed a point lower at 95, after touching
96%, and Wabash, which was disclosed
as the purchaser of a large block of
Lehigh Valley, showed gain of Y at
65. Lehigh Valley sold as high as
1879 in June, 1927.
There was little in the days business
and financial news to influence the
price movement Import of an addi-
tional $2,00O,000 in gold from Canada
was regarded as favorable by opera
tors for the rise who were worried by
the large exports of gold last month.
A few good 1927 earnings reports by
small companies, particularly Mullins
manufacturing and NeWmont mining,
made their appearance during the day
and initial dividends were authorized
on the common stocks of Deere and
Co., and the Kroger Grocery and Bak-
ing Co.
U. S. Steel common and General
Motors failed to break out of the mar
row trading area within which they
have been fluctuating for the last fort
