NEW YORK, Dec. 31.—Erratic cables resulted in the cotton market her.* open ing bareiy steady, with near positions 1 to 3 points higher and distant months 4 to 6 points lower than last night’s ch.se. r,F ading . the outset was very light. Ihe principal buyers were leading spot interests, while the selling came chiefly from commission houses and the ring crowd. Mitchell bought January freely, causing some buying in distant months. At the eml of fifteen minutes, prices had reci tied 2 to 8 points from the opening. After the call the market was steady at the decline, with prices a few points over the early decline. The markets seems to be strictly of a holiday character, with the public gener ally waiting the next ginners’ report. Some of the most conservative traders are inclined to think the market will go some lower, as the spots are usually quiet dur ing the first part of January. NEWYORK.

With pub lic participation restricted over the turn of the year, the markets are largely a professional affair, and the chief effort seems directed toward an improvement in the parity with Liverpool, as so much business is held in check by the depre ciated foreign hedge. Liverpool apparently was again suu ported today, as futures there show an advance of 6 to 7 points, while no advance was due. Spots 6 points higher; political news is not yet definitely reassuring, al though there were no unfavorable devel opments over Sunday. Professional ad vices from New York are still to the effect that leading spot houses are the chief buyers on recessions. The Pell interests are said to have cov ered a large portion of their recent sales. Strong houses, such as Norden, etc., arc so definitely bullish in their services as to suggest certainty of the expected January squeeze. Our market openeil about 6 points high er and ruled quiet, but steady around 12.85 for March during the greater part of the morning session. About 2 .('OO Jan uary tenders appeared in New York, but as January futures were relatively the strongest, notices must have been really taken.
