STRONG ADVANCE
 MADE BY COTTON Net Gains at Close Were IS
 to 19 Points SALES WERE 250,000 BALES Weather Reports Appeared to Be the Prime Faotor-Fears Expressed
 That Cold Will Reach
 Cotton Section.
SALES WERE 25O,O00 BALES

New York, October 22-Cotton market had strong advance at the opening this morning. but lost part of the gain during the session, with the close steady at a net gain of 16 to 19 points. Sales were estimated at 2500OO bales.
 The opening was firm at an advance of Il to 31 points and the active months generally were 30 to 34 points net higher right after the call on covering by sell lers of last week and a renewal of bull support which was encouraged by higher cables than expected and the expecta- tion of bad weather in the southwest. The initial advance, carrying January to 11.12, showed a recovery of about F cent of the low point of Saturday morning. and naturally attracted heavy realizing under which the market sagged off to around Il cents for January. At this level there was active support from large interests, and following the publication of the western belt forecast prices ral- lied.
 This gain was not held owing to heavier realizing in the late trading and Jan uary closed at OS9 Weather reports ap- pedrSu lo pe ehe pllhie ldc'of anu colu rain with freezing temperatures in sev- eral sections were predicted for the southwest with sentiment also influenced to some extent by reports of heavy snow storms from the north belt and fears that they would work down into the cot ton country.
 Receipts at the ports today. 73, ,131 bales, against 6S,6o1 bales last week and 46,Sl5 last year. For the week (estimated), 42o,OOO bales, against S72,277 last week and 293S6S last year. Today's receipts at New Orleans, 14,396 bales against s16S last year and at Houston, 17,674, against 2O,491 last

Ware 6 LeIand,s Market Letter.

After a spurt around opening cotton settled down into a waiting attitude to- day and dt is probable that there will be little doing until the bureau report on Thursday is out of the way. On the open ing we were 21 to 26 points up in response to extremely bad weather news From re- ports received a blizzard was raging to the northwest of the cotton belt, and oyer Sunday had extended down into the belt as far as localities in North Texas and had reached the territories and west Arkansas.
 storm was raging and that temperatures were down around the freezing point in portions of the cotton country visited by this storm.
 Official special reports from the wealth CT bureau told of snow in the territories and in North Texas. The weather fore cast indicated that the storm would work east through the cotton belt and snow and freezing were predicted for portions of Texas tonight. With such weather conditions prevailing it was something of a wonder that the market remained dull.
 Perhaps the quiet with which the weather news was received was the best proof obtainable that the trade at large was bearlsh.
 The movement Is very heavy and this gave the bears great encouragement.
 With the heavy movement that is con- tinuing. offerings of spots are more llb- eral and as offerings increase, buyers display less anxiety.
 This was the case to a marked degree today. Early in the morning buyers were running about and were known to pay advances of 3-16c over Sundays closing prices,i but later factors found 1t hard at an advance of 1sc and some trades put through around that were barely above board quotations. If spot offerings increase much more the bulls will be able to do very little with this mar ket
