MARKETS FOR FUTURES
STRONG CABLES AND CoNTINU-
 ED LIGHT RECEIPTS.
Advances Followed by Reactions, and at the Close Prices Are
 Higher on Active Months
 and Lower for New Crop.

NEW YORK. Jan 2o.-The cotton market opened firm at an advance of l2g2S points recsIpts and further talk of the strong spot situation in the South. The cables which at xin time of the local opening were about ID n1fnts over expectations. were attributed to buy Ing in Liverpool by parties who. it was sald were protecting their requirements in the open 11nrket as Q result of dtfaxlted contracts with shippers. This had a buIlish effect on local asntE1nent 70 that while outside demand was evidently slack and the market met with con. al1Erabll liquidation. it ruled generally nrm unfii about the end of the first hour when 1znrch was selling at 4.4s May at l4:55 and July at lA62. period of liquidation followed Ahet forced March down to 1929. May to f44o and July to lA.@e, this teins decline from the best of between 3 end I9 points. Later. however, the appearances in the ring af local bull who began bidding for 1000 and 10 GOO bale lots of May and July rallied tfe market sharply to about tho previous high 3ewsl This demand apparently satisfied. the xn&rket again sagged off and while finally steady was only s9l3 points higher on the active peEtions while the new crop months were points lower. Sales were estimated at 800 900 bales

ffesh buying predicted on the firmness Of spots ana the hsht movement. Later in the session the decline of S-ie0x in English consols, the easier closing in Liverpool and the absence ot supporting orders. occasioned a decline of i4@ts points from the top. making the net gain points on January and on March, whereas the late months showed a decline of tWS points. Liverpool cables that thero is a heelthy business doing in Manchester with prospects Of its continuing for some time. The continent is heavy buyer and the general opinion there is that the market Is in a strong position. The IS leading interior towns dur mg the half week received "a. 900, against a. 900 last year. and the port receipts for the nve days asgregate It7.o00. against l%6, 900 last year. The estimated receipts for tomor- row at New Orleans Galveston and Houston were light and the saies Of spots locally were 6,oeo bales at E cent higher. Technically the situation is healthy. but 1t was appartne today that deliveries had been bought to a stand still and looked tired. Nevertheless with continuance of decrease fin receipts and good spot demand it appears as if values will be maintained providing no further eompli- cations develop in the East.

 NEW YORK, Ian 2o--Ths great bull wave *ssa still in evidence on the opening of the cot tan future market today. Prices rose steadily and surpasssd all previous records. Great ex- csfement attanded the advances and the pit in- ttTAsfs were extramely nervous. As the day wore on, the trade assumed more normal pro- barfions and with the relative quietness offer 4xNz increased materially. Realizing sales were lnduiged in by many bull interests and with professional shorts inclined to hold of a lower level of prices was established. The trade as wAcie throughout the day was more for pro- feasaonal than for the public account. The Lv- einool advlces were much better than expected today. and there was a good demand for spot cotton. Light receipts were factor since the tndfcaeions pointed to continued small move nssmfs ak interior and port towns The early mHVance today added to the advances of the uroceding two days figured as a net gain of ahnut & cent per pound since the close of last week Local realizing became quite promi- nenk feature In the market as the session wore nn and the advance was cut down materially, The estimated port receipts for the day were z7.ooo, against 55, So2 for the same day last Nnar.

 NEW YORK. Jan. 2o-Foreign advices were cheerful this morning as to the Liverpool mar ket. Tn regard to the political situation few believe it of much consequence in It's bearings on cotton and expect nothing more serious than a possible check to confident buying even in the event of bvar and then a rapid return of confidence and a resumption of very aggres- sive bull support. As the days go by sellers refrain from interposing any objection to the upward march of values. Predictions of a big collapse have proven simply harmless outbursts in the past that they will simply fall fiat in the future The true situation is being recog- nized day after day that the crop will not suf- nce for the worlds needs. First prices this morning were l4@2e points higher with busi- ness well distributed. Shorts were nervous. Sellers in the South again Sefaulted in the delivery of their contracts in Liverpool to a large amount and this scared Liverpool traders New York shorts were anxious buyers and IS cents all along the line were regarded as noth- ing more than a matter of time. Cables closed barely steady at s9e points advance Man chester was dull Port receipts were esti- mated at 27ooo. against S6. 900 last year. Reports of exhausted stocks at interior towns were numerous. Our warehouse stock rose to SC, 900.

 NEW YORK, Jan. 2o.-The market today advanced easily and yet there was q lot of cot Ion for sale. For some reason or other trad ing ia not as active the upturn as one snight expect: A set of very bullish factors confront the market and this only serves to sn&uca more profit taking. For every three s2iiers of cotton there is now about one new buyer. This one buyer takes all the three holders sell. but numerically the market grows smaller as the price advances From the point of view of the outsider cotton Is less attrac- tive aa a speculative venture at the present price than 1t has been in years The utmost oonaervatism is needed. Everything looks fa- xorabie for higher prices and we have yet to see a market get Into new ground and not work higher.
 There is every incentive to those needing cot ton to look for higher prices and any one trad ing in the market should bear this In mind. It looks ike sort of cotton famine abroad as well as here before the next crop, and under these conditions anything is possible. But ieM cents is not 10 cents and cotton is a very uncertain commodity. This may be true of the present outlook and while the situation seems all favorable to higher prices, caution ln necessary. Receipts are light.

 NEW ORLEANS. Tan. 2o-In the spot cot ton market the active demand continues, but offerings are not free. the heavy buying of the past few days having cleared of the sam pie tables to large extent.

 Futures opened steady and prices were I3 9l6 points higher. The better opening was caused by surprisingly good reports from Liv- erpool and Manchester. Tn Liverpool futures showad an advance of 8 points and spots were up IS points while the spot business was about the heaviest of the season. sales amounting to 5000 bales Reports from Man chester were the strogn sst features of the day ana they said that the cloth and yarn trade had a better tone all around. Late in the morning March was 20 points higher than the close of yesterday at i4.46, May was I7 points higher at IA82 and July was I6 points higher at s.lo. Heavy liquidation and some short selling caused R recession that brought March down to iA.44, May to I4.79 and July to i5.oS. The highest levels quoted above were the highest at which cotton has been traded in for thirty-avs years. In the trading of the afternoon there were numerous fuctua- tions. The market closed quiet with net gains of to losses of 3 points on the day.

TBy Private Wire From oioert & rlay.I
 NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 2o.-Liverpool was etirrsd in a violent way by a fresh surprise that really ought to be a common feature by 4his time, viz: defaults in shipments to spin neEs somewhere in the neighoorhood of So.- GOO bales owing to the fact that such de- nelencies must be replenished either on the npot or in the contract department at a stag gaEing loss. 1t is difficult for foreigners to get accustomed to the regularity of their occur renee and the quotation lists possess no sym pathstic sentiments. Cables stated addition ally that business in Manchester was irnprov- lHg. which one might have inferred from the increased spot sales at an advance of nearly a per bale. The temper here milder due 5n a measuT to the temptation to secure full grown profits by scattered traders while the combined restrictions of high prices and big raargins limited the speculative demand for outside account. Bullish sentiment underwent no change. however, excepting the possibil. ftv of baving been further stimulated by cur rent developments. The chances are that the eekly movement will be very favorable fea- ture and the statement of the visible supply Is likely to occasion fresh visions of impending scarcity. 50 sellers apparently destined to continue on the defensive.
