NEW YORK COTTON MARKET

New York, January 2.-Tradlng IN
cotton was a little more active today
and prices ruled steady to firm at the
close tomorrow, two points net lower
on October and at s to IA points higher
on the other months Sales were estl-
mated at $50, 900 bales. The opening
was steady at a decline of two points
to an advance of two points, which was
about as due on the cables.
There seemed to be a quiet but stead
demand for January by spot people
and this impaired a steady tone to the
entire list which gradually worked
higher. Realizing by local longs
caused slight ~recessions at times dur
ing the session. but the general ten
dency was upward until January
reached 9.49 and March go, or about
y to Is points higher. The narrowlng
of the January-March differences to Il
points after selling 35 points a part
on last Friday attracted some atten-
ton and led to rumors that various
SPOT people were trying to secure con-
! troll of the local stock. The weather ID
| the south was rather wet and port re-
| ceipts for the day were a shade lighter
j but the interior estimates for tomor-
] row were full.

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

New York, January 2.-Prices Of
stocks wavered uncertainty today and
showed a tendency to settle back 10
Mondays closing level. The volume OF
business was on an insignificant scale
The constraint Of the speculation was
not explainable by any immediate de-
velopments, those being mostly favor
able. But the longer outlook was the
subject of much consideration and OF
greatly mixed Interpretation. There
was a wealth Of authority in evidence
in the annual reviews on the great
showing of the yea just passed, but
there was in all Of these a rather sur
prising unison in the note of caution
mingled with even the most hopeful
presages and from that ranging down
ward in the scale of optimism to an
admission Of probable early CONNER
cial reaction and depression. The tu-
ture Of the money market also seemed
far from clear, in spite Of the prompt
relaxation which was manifest today in
| this market and in foreign markets as
we'll.
A striking feature of the days fnan-
| cial markets was the violent advance
in the foreign exchange market The
j demand for remittance seemd urgent in
spite Of We easing of honey markets
abroad. 1t was inferred that obliga-
tons which were incurred during the
stringency in money here were being
covered on a large scale. The price OF
demand sterling rose fully 2 cent in
/ the pound over that of last week. The
high interest rates. charged on STOCK
market accounts for December had q
discouraging effect on holders of stocks
on margin. The average rate for the
month charged by stock exchange
houses was II per cent The Hill
! stocks were supported and there was
a subsistence of the rumors of money
troubles growing out of the severe de
/ clines in those stocks. There were othe1
points of occasional strength but the!
