MAY, 40 Peachtree Street COTTON SAGS ON LACKOFSUPPORT YORK, Dec. 20.--In face of a bullish government report the cotton mar ket here opened barely steady today, with prices showing irregularity, being 10 Points lower to 2 points higher than last night s close. The census report shows figures for the total ginned bales up to Uo C l rnber 13 at 12.424.853. against 11,844.- 43L bales to December 1. showing bales ginned for the period of 580.421. This report was merely a stand-off, in the opinion of tbe majority of traders. It was said that anything under 600,000 bales woind be bullish, but sentiment at the outset was against the market, and the ring sold freely with the large spot in terests buyers. However, their purchases were limited and prices lost 4 to 11 points within the first fifteen minutes. After the call the absorption was of a better character and prices rallied 2 to 7 points from the early decline. At the close the market was steady with prices a net decline of 146)20 points iront the final quotations of Thursday.
