COTTON DECLINES
ON EASIER CABLES
Mill CurtaiIment Talk Also Is
Factor in Drop of Prices
at New York.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, January 14.-Early de-
clines Influenced by relatively easy
Liverpool cables and continued talk Of
domestic mill curtailment were fol-
lowed by partial recoveries on trade
buying and covering in the cotton
market today. Contracts for May de-
liveries sold up from 1891 to 1902 and
closed at 1896. the general market
closing steady. at net declines of to
- points.
The market opened steady at de.
cline OF 5 to 10 points under LIQUIDATION
combined with commission house and
local selling, active months showing
net losses OF 10 to - points In early
trading. Offerings were not heavy or
particularly aggressive. however. and
appeared to be readily absorbed by a
renewal of trade buying below the 49,.
cent level for May. After easing off
to 1880 for March, and 1859 for July.
prices stiffened up on covering.
Rallies carried the market up to
1891 for March and 1878 for July. or
within a point or two of Fridays clos
ing quotations. This bulge met a little
further week end liquidation. and last
prices were several points of from the
best.
Reports that a movement to curtail
mill production was under way in fine
goods mills in New England came in
for comment. and may have accounted
for some of the early selling. There
were also reports from parts OF the
South that holders Of spot cotton were
showing a disposition to sell a little
more freely. which may have had a
tendency TO check buying, although
there were also reports that the
bourse was holding steady. Trading
was quiet. and the days fluctuations
were regarded by local brokers as re-
fiecting the effect of small orders
either way rather than any particular
change in the general situation.
Private cables from Liverpool said
hedge selling there had been absorbed
by covering and trade buying and that
the market for cotton cloths and yarns
In Manchester was steady.
The amount of cotton on shipboard
awaiting clearance at the end OF the
week was estimated at 130.6l3 bales,
AGAINST 2i3.003 last year.
