COTTON MARKET
 WAS VERY QUIET Light Receipts Favored the
 Slight Advance SMALL SOUTHERN DEMAND Private Advlces From South Reported Continuing Flrmness Among Spot owners-saIes Estimated at
 100000 Bales.
SMALL SOUTHERN DEMAND

New York, January 16.-The cotton mar ket was very quiet today. In the ab- sence of important offerings the cover ing of local professionals and little southern demand promoted by the light receipts caused slight advances, and final prices showed gains of about 6 to g points for the day.
 The opening was steady at an advance of 1 point In response to steady Liver pool cables. While the small receipts and good exports leading to decrease in present stocks, the feeling that a large amount of cotton remains to be marketed, prevents the growing state of the statistical position from moving in any material effect other than as it may restrict offerings. After the open ing prices slowly worked upword in a moderate demand from local profession als, but each bulge attracted small sell ing orders. In general way, however, the ruling was steady and the market closed steady within @ point or two of the best. Sales of future were estimated at 100000 bales. Private adyices from the south reported continuing firmness among spot owners.
 Receipts at the ports today, 20,765 bales, against 27,563 last week, and S7.567 last year. For the week, 1yo,000 bales, against 177, ,493 last week, and 15S,245 last year. Today's receipts at New Orleans, 10,os6 bales, against 11,592 last year, and at Houston, 4244, against 2S4S last year.
