IN COTTON MARKET
Numerous Offerings Absorved by
Rapid Buying Based on Census
Bureau Reports.

NEW YORK. February IA R.-The
cotton market opened easy today at q
decline Of 8 to 10 points under heavy
liquidation and selling orders, inspired
by relatively easy Liverpool cables and
reports Of rain or snow in the South
west.
These offerings were absorbed by &C
tive buying at the decline on the report
Of the Census Bureau, showing domeB-
tic consumption of 532,417 bales for
January. compared with 543,598 for
December and 603,242 for January, last
year.
The figures on the January consump-
ton were much above expectations and
made bullish impression on sentiment
which offset the bearish features and
sent prices up from 1897 to 1897 for
May and from 1885 to 1916 for Octo-
Der or to 90 points above Saturdays

EXPORT OF GOLD

Shipments Of 100000
and Sale of U. S. Securities
Bring Firmer Conditions.

Export of gold in the amount of more
than S200.o00.0O0 during the last four
months Of 1927 was partly the cause
OF firmer money conditions. according
to the Federal Reserve Board.
Another influence working against
easier money rates. the board said. was
the sale during January Of more thar

These sales Of securities" the re-
view added. offset the effect in part OF
the seasonal return flow OF currency

bank borrowings at the Reserve banks
declined less than would have other

setting the effects OF these decreases on
the money market through the purchase
of securities. but such purchases were
both absolutely and relatively in much
smaller volume after the beginning OF
November. The larger part OF the gold
Withdrawals. therefore. exerted Its usual
influence on credit conditions In this
country.
The systems policy Is not offsetting
the gold exports IN the last weeks OF
the year was due largely TO the fact
that. in the absence OF demand for adj
ditional credit from trade and indus
try, there was continued and rapid
growth IN the volume OF member bank
credit used for investments and loans
on securities. Thus. notwithstanding
the drain on member bank reserves
through gold exports, reserve balances
of these banks with the reserve banks
increased In the Autumn and early

NEW MACHINE COVER
is TRIED ON AlRPLANE
Cowling Designed by Advisory
Committee for Aeronautics
Increases Ships Speed.

GARDEN CITY, N. Y. R.-A
Curtiss Sea Hawk airplane. such as
is used as a fighter on the Nays
battleships, is being equipped with the
new type covering for air-cooled en-
gines. perfected by the National Ad-
visory Committee for Aeronautics, to
add to the speed Of the planes.
The new cowling or covering, which
resembles a huge bowl with the CEN
ter cut out of it, demonstrated in tests
at Langley Field that the principal
objection to the air-cooled motors in
airpIanes has been eliminated.
The exposed cylinders of air-cooled
engines as they are now installed on
airplane5 offer great resistance to the
air through which they must pass,
slowing the planes progress. The new
covering provides ample air for COOL
ing the cylinders, but 'streamlines"
them in such way that the resistance
is cut down and speed materially in
creased
The Curtiss Aeroplane and Motor
Co. is trying the new cowling on its
''Sea Hawk" with plans for using it
on all fast planes built if the tests
prove satisfactory.
