WAR NEWS CAUSED BETTER
 FEELING IN STOCKS. <,
The Closing Was Easy and Popular Securities Seemed to Be Neglected-Bonds Were
 Dull and Irregular.

NEW YORK, Jan. i@.--The stock market showed a slight increase in animation for progress to q higher, level Of. prices. but trad ing promptly reiapsed into profound neglect and the largest part of the gain was lost and the closing was easy. The most conesicuous movements were still in the department of minor stocks such as may remain idle for weeks at e time, until moved by operation of pools formed to make . market for the stock. The movemnt of these stocks is invariaDly ac- companied by the circulation of rumors to give a seeming explanation of the movement such as a probable absorption of the property by larger railroad. None of the rumors of this character current today could And any verinca- tion There was no more success in finding good authority for the revived rumors of c settlement of the Gould-Cassat differences which caused the nnovennent in Pennsylvania sues followed with an additional rumor that the debenture bonds were to be retired in exchange for a fixed ( per cent. bond. The ciliation story was that there was nothing to reconcile beyond the suit in the courts for damages for the cutting Of Western Union poles on the Pennsylvania risht-of-way. Re- ports of revived internal friction caused the drop in United States Realty preferred. Nash vile, Chattanooga and St. Louis continued to sell of on selling by specuiators who had bought 1t in expectation of the resumption of dividends at. higher rate than the per cent decided on. The new bond planned by Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railway oonformed closely to reports and the bear Island Company in anticipation of the plan found the supply deficient when they attempted to cover their shorts. Rock Island was in con- sequence the only stock to hold its strength at the last. There was Q moderate demand for United States Steel preferred based on trade reports of some improvement in the demand for iron and steel. The monthly blast furnace statistics were regarded with satisfaction so far as they showed e check to the accumula- tion of stocks. but the weekly production on December 3i had meanwhile fallen to the low est of the year. Baltimore and Ohio was helped to some extent by its listing on Swiss exchanges. The improved sentiment over the war outlook had its part in reelasing the mar ket from its bands of stagnation. but the in-
 iuence did not last hrongh he tsession. The evidence of redundant accumulation of cash in the bank reserves seemed to be without ef- feet on the speculation.

NEW YORK. Jan. I4.-Th echaracter of Liverpool reports was such that New York opened at a good advance. The more peaceful outlook in the Far East was cited a cause of the better situation. at any rate sentiment was more favorably inclined and the believers in very high-priced cotton were more con- hdent than ever. Evidence of receipts peter ing out is continually coming in. Of course. good deal of cotton is being held. but even then 1t is not believed to be possible to make this crop over 9.s5o.o 900 and possibly larger. When this fact becomes recognized there will be numerous buying by mills everywhere. Talk of manipulation and artificial support of the market is idle and we are now hearing less of such as the true situation is recognized. The supply win not exceed the demand and the chances are that 1t will fall short of 1t and manufacturers must advance prices of their goods. Receipts at ports only %, 000 against SC. 900 last year. The movement was very light at Norfolk. Charleston. Augusta, Atlanta, Columbus and elsewhere and shorts were grow ing very nervous inasmuch next week s movement will compare with last years figures of only 5000 less than the present week last year.

 NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 'i4.-The moro favor able Eastern news, as evidenced by the ad- vance of 7-i6 in English consos and better Manchester advices. influenced Liverpool fa- voraby and our market in sympathy opened t6627 points higher, subsequently gaining
 p8 points additional on fresh buying. Later in the session heavy liquidation and the weak ness of spots caused decline of 26G3i points from the top. making the net advance li points on January and 3@io points on the other months. Interior and port receipts were light today and the estimated receipts at New Orleans Galvestop and Houston for tomor- row were smaller than last year. The Eastern situation seems to be improving judging from advices received. the advance in English con- sols and the Liverpool market The amount brought into sight for the week points to about 25o 900, as compared to 296. 900 last year, and the indications are that the interior towns will receive considerably less this week than they did for the corresponding period last year. the extreme weakness of spots and the con- tinued apathy of spinners were sufficient to occasion uneasincss and bring about hquida- tion The recent violent fluctuations have been instrumental in. curtailing speculation and 1t is apparent that for the present there is not the same unanimity of optimistic sentiment prevalent. About the close late London cables were received, stating that the British foreign office officials say tonight, after reading the Japan reply to tn elast Russian note that it onl ytakes the crisis a step further in less hopeful direction. The adyices received thus far by the foreign officers made them fear that Russia would not accept Japan's reiterated de- mand. The rumors circulated pro and con about the Eastern imbroglfo have a tendency to keep the market in an unsettled condition Until matters assume a normal basis. We deem it advisable to continue to operate on very conservative lines

 NEW YORK. Jan. I4.-Cotton futures in the local market today opened with a firm tone. the initial level being 9di7 points higher. The buying was well scattered and represented both sides of the account Yesterdays sellers in many instances took back their cotton carly today, but later longs sold. out to moderate extent and the liquidation caused yecession. However. there was good support on the dips and hence the market was pos seased of undertonc for the most part. Small estimates for tnmorrow's receipts at New orleans. Galveston and Houston attracted con siderable attention and aided materially in checking aggressiveness the part of bears. 8s the day advanced. the market queted down and at times the business in the pit TOW and quite featureless, save for spasmodic selling for both sides of the account The spot markets were quiet and steady with small demand. Offerings throughout the South were limited. On the close was a rather mixed feeling with attention generally direct ed to affairs In the Far East. The foreign situation will undoubtedly exert more or less infInence on the cotton future market in the immediate future. The estimated port receipts for the day were 2s ooo against 36,o67 for 1lie same day last year.

 NEW YORK. Jan. l4-It was the same kind of market again today, unhealthy. cratic and feVerish. Last night May sold at 1867 on the curb and this morning May sold at l3.97- Even on the advance few traders mis- took the market for anything that it was not Factors at work in the present market are not good ones. We may be mistaken, but it looks very much as though some was prepar- ing for trouble. Not Intentionally of course but buying cotton at IA cents is way that may store up serious trouble. Prices have been advanced on the prospect of moderate crop An advance from cents to IA cents now when there are visible evidences of this fall ing off in receipts being realized smart trad CTS are selling out their cotton bought on the wrospect early in the season. On the other hand, men who could not see the advance com ing at 10 cents are now being convinced and are buying cotton. For the present with this market. its no time to buy cotton. This mar ket is not healthy and We do not want to buy cotton. If we have another break we may see heavy selling and q crop such as took place before. The break has not been enough to warrant buying The failure to get over J4K is very significant. Before buying let prices decline,

 influenced by liberal receipts in the Northwest and by an advance in the price of British conao1s. The sentiment quickly changed, how ever. and . strong undercurrent set in which carried the price steadily upward. The ad- vance was due to a considerable extent to the display of strength shown in coarse grains, although moderate buying by the big bull in terests had noticeable effect. After opening k@Ac lower at s7@e7Mc to a7h@s7kc, May climbed up gradually with some slight set- backs until 1t had reached the 97% notch. A cablegram from Argentine mentioned incessant rains prevailing throughout the wheat section and this gave encouragement to buyers. Dur ing the last hour the early strength gave out and under heavy liquidation the market started on, on rapid decline. Influenced by peaceful ca bies there was quite general selling late in the day by local traders who were also laboring under the impression that leading longs were selling through brokers. Before the downward course was checked May sold at S6% The close was weak with May at s6H. Ciearances of wheat and four were equal to So, 800 bush els. primary receipts were 6e 600 bushels. against 463.4O0 year ago Minneapolis, Du- luth and Chicago reported receipts of 472 cars.
 Corn was active and strong. Buying was of a good class and based mainly on the small receipts with heavy proportion of them of poor quality. May opened a shade lower to h9Ac higher at 47H to 4sN and from the opening sales the price began to advance There was little for sale until May had reached 49h when local longs began to dispose of their holdings The market reacted under this profit taking and May essed off to 4eh. The sentiment, however. continued strong and the close found May at 48k, a gain of $ over yesterdays final figures. Local receipts were 293 cars. with one of contract grade.
 Oats were excited and strong. Prominent commission houses were active. on the buying side and with light offerings prices showed good gains. May was the leader in the ad. vance and sold up to 4lc. At that figure there was lot of liquidation and the price sold of again. the close being at 4oss a gain of Ik for the day. The opening was lSc lower at 40B. Local receipts were SS cars
 Provisions were steady early in the day on the strength in coarse grains.
