PRICES CO LOWER
IN COTTON MARKET.
Larger Ginning Figures and
Easy Cables Factors
in Decline.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, January 23.--The Cot
ton Market opened easy today at a
decline OF 10 10 20 points. Active
months soon sold 20 to 81 points net
lower under heavy general selling and
liquidation promoted by talk of an
easier spot situation, relatively easy
Liverpool cables and rather larger GIN
ming figures than expected.
The decline carried March contracts
of 70 1928 and May to 1897. but there
appeared to be some old trade orders
in the market for foreign account at
these figures Active covering checked
the decline and caused rallies Of to 8
points from the lowest by the end Of
the first hour.
The census report showed l2.501 .845
bales ginned prior to January Is. COM
pared with 16616.07o last year.
Private cables reported hedging and
continental liquidation In Liverpool,
and that the turnover in cotton cloth
and yarn was disappointing, with buy
ers holding on.
The volume of business tapered of
on rallies Of about 10 points from the
early low prices. and the market sagged
back again, active months at midday
showing net declines of about 20 to 20
points. Some local statisticians inter-
preted the ginning figures as pointing
to a crop about 100000 bales above the
Government estimate of last December
which. of course. would be very small
difference.

/ Special Dispatch TO The Star.
| NEW YORK. January 23.-The dip
in the call money rate today to 3is
per cent had no effect on that part Of
the bond market where easy money Is
usually most reflected. Dealers are still
trading on the assumption that time
money rates may be harder later In the
year. and that there Is some possibility
OF an advance in the re-discount rate
to 4 per cent
| There is also the tradition that about
this time In January. many operators
| in bonds are inclined to reduce their
commitments in anticipation Of lower
prices at which they may repurchase
later In the season. The influence Of
undicested bonds Of the poorer grades
is still one with which the market has

To MILLS
ST|RSDEBATE

The legislative machinery OF Con.
eress faced another shutdown today
pending a decision by the Senate on
a proposal to give $4,000 salary in
crease to Ogden L. Mills, millionaire
Undersecretary OF the Treasury.
The increase, not asked by Mills,
but written into the Treasury ap.
propriation bill, tied up the Senate
for two hours yesterday, blocked all
action on the bill and led to a
lengthy debate. Opponents of the
increase predicted this morning that
Mills would still be craving $40, 900
instead of the $4,000 asked--when
the bill is finally enacted. -ss
The insertion Of this $4,000 item
raised some interesting questions in
the Senate's debate. Senator Nor
ris (R.) Of Nebraska, for one thing,
that many people believe
Senators and Representatives should
serve without pay. He went so far,
even, as to announce there were
numerous Americans ready and
willing to come to" Washington as
Senators or Representatives and
work hard every day of the year
without pay.
Norris also made a suggestion to
the Undersecretary Of the Treasury
and all other assistant secretaries In
departments. He urged
them to accept voluntarily reduc-
tion In salary in order to keep the
Government from running into 4
deficit at the end Of the fiscal year,
as was limited by President Cool.
