HEAVY REALIZING
 IN COTTON MARKET
Those Who Bought for Profit Take Their Earnings
REACTION COMES QUICKLY
Before the Market Closes Prices Are Again Run Up and at the Close Are Steady With Prac-
 ticaIly No Loss.

New York. January 17.-There was heavy realizing in the cotton market dur- ing the days session, notwithstanding which prices entered near high ground TOT the movement and in spite of a late setback, closed net unchanged to points higher on old crop months. to a decline of s points on October. The final tone was barely steady Sales estimated at 300 bales. The market opened steady but very irregular at an advance of points to decline of 6 points near months oelng influenced by steady cables and covering, while later positions were lower under heavy general realizing with the list as a whole selling off to a net loss of 10 to P points during the early ses- sion This was followed by a rather less active, irregular market during the mid ule session, but in the afternoon there was sharp advance on a renewal of pun support and covdring which carried March to Il 73 and May to Il 76 or 13 to IA points net higher.
 Just before the close there was tre- mendous selling, mostly for long account no doubt. following rumor that the battleship Connecticut had been sunk in
 
 Rio de Janeiro harbot. This rumor was subsequently, denied, but not before there had been break of About 10 to il points on the active positions The market was called upon to absorp very heavy sales or long cotton during the day and the reactions noted were not considered very severe In view of tie fact that at the high level prices had scored an advance of S2 points from the low figure on Wed nesday morning. Southern spot advices were generally bullish and there was talk of more adtive demand from spinners.

New Orleans Cotton Market.

New Orleans. January 17.-Cotton spots were firm at an advance of 1-16 of cent; middling 12 cents; sales were 2650 bales on the spot and 700 to arrive
 Futures opened barely steady unchanged to ? points below the close yesterday, which was about as due on the cables. The high levels brought about during the past few days by the report of the bull pool in New York afforded a good oppor- tunity for longs to take profits This re- suited in a large amount of realizing and under this pressure prices dropped off from to 8 points. The reaction set in after these selling orders had been dis posed of and a general advance in prices was again noted. The firmness of the spot market also presented a bullish fac tor and helped to regain the early losses. A growing sentiment that a much higher market would be brought about induced some buying during the late session and at the close, which was steady, the active months were in consequence l to points higher than at the close yesterday.
