Jan. 1G.?The cotton market has shown considerably weak ness dnrlpg the week-and while ad vances of some $3 per bale from rc cept low records have not been fully ??alntalned, rather a more optimistic feeling as to trade conditions and the course of prices lias been evident In the talk around the ring. Reports of an improved spot de mand have undoubtedly contributed to the more bullish averago of senti ment., while buying has also been en couraged by the tendency to scale down estimates of the crop noted since the, publication of the last tig area, and .the continued large domes tic mill consumption as shown by the official supply and distribution fig ures for th? month of December. Demand, however, has not been ac : tlve^eno? gh to sugcgat and general latereat, and the market today ecem ed to be somewhat, unsettled by the census report , showing more Unters obtained from' this season's crop uji to Jan. ? than last -?car, combined with rumors that private returns In dicated rather a heavier ginning tc Jan. 13 xhnn HCC;nc? ;w'^;:< wu:i i-.jii aisteut with miulmum views of tb( yield.

March contracts sold at 12.66c, mak ing now high ground tor the move meut, but the higher level attracted profit taking,, and sentiment seemed to be beariahly influenced by the cen sus report showing 396,?34 bales of Unters obtained from the growth of this season up to Jan, 1, compared with 352,972 last year. Owing to nu merous reports that cotton seed had been badly damaged by unfavorable weather, many traders had anticipai cd the yield of Unters this year would fall short of last season, and tho offl cial .figures consequently led to revl slon of crop views. RUmora that preliminary returns to one of th? prominent statists*! bu reaus indicated a ginning of 157,000 bales for the last period were not confirmed, but attracted considerable attention and while such a ginning would compare with 181,000 bales for. the same petlod last year, these" ru-? mors were also considered partly re-j sponsibtc for the celling movement.!
