Earlier floor sources said the favorable USDA cotton exports sales data released Thursday before the market opened had largely been factored into the market Wednesday, but no follow through buying came once trading began. USDA reported 1996/97 export sales to the week ended Jan 9 reached a net 238,000 running bales. "But if the market advances too much on the export sales then we are going to shut of the faucet, and that's not what we need," softs analyst Judy Ganes of Merrill Lynch said. A break out on the upside would, nevertheless be difficult at the present time because of high stock levels, she added. Since October certificated cotton stocks delivered against NYCE's No2 cotton futures contract have risen steadily from about 60,000 bales to 93,383 bales on Thursday. March cotton settled 0.34 cent weaker at 74.21 cents per pound, traded 74.70 to 74.06 cents. Volume was estimated at 6,800 lots compared to Wednesday's official 7,745 lots. 171049 MET jan 97
