MARKET
 VERY IRREGULAR Better Foreign News Than Ex- pected Causes An Advance REALIZING VERY HEAVY After Losses Under Pressure Market Turns Bullish and Fresh Buying

 eral Points.
 

New York, January 13.-The cotton mar ket was more irregular today but showed steadiness in the main and closed very steady, at a net advance of to 6 points Sales were estimated at 175,OO0.
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of 3 to points and during the ear- ly trading sold to points net higher or within or points of yesterdays s high record, on covering and fresh buy ing for long account, promoted by higher cables than expected, large English spot sales, and talk of steady interior markets Realizing became quite heavy at the ad- vance, and as there was no sign of ag- gressive bull support, offerings increased on the theory that the market was en- titled to more of a reaction than 1t had yet experienced from the high point Prices sold off to net loss of about to 4 points, under this pressure during the afternoon, but there were good buying orders in the hands of commission houses on scale down, and towards the close another spurt of covering by room traders caused a rally to about the opening fig ures.
 Bullish traders who had sold out on the bulge of yesterday morning appeared to be replacing their cotton during the day.
 Southern spot markets were unchanged to 1-16 cents lower.
 Exports for the day were considerably In excess of the port receipts, and the receipts at the ports are said to be partly at the expense of stocks at the counted interior towns. Ocean freight room has been engaged for shipment of 34,0Oo bales during January from local stock.
 Todays receipts at ports 4O,S33 bales against 5O,596 last week, and 31 ,5ls last year. For the week 230,OO0 bales against 272,946 last week and 242,7O0 last year.
 Todays receipts at New Orleans 15.734 bales against 12,110 last year and at Hous- ton Os26 bales against 7527 last year.

SOME SUPPORT IS GIVEN

New York, January 13.-The stock mar ket today was of much the same charac- ter as yesterday. Periods of moderate ' strength and weakness alternated and the tone was spotty and irregular at all times. There was no effective demand in evidence such as would mark an ag gresslve accumulation but evidence of some support at a defined point in a cial prospect is sufficiently clear to ob- stacles to be encountered in too bold an attack on values. The sentiment amongst the professional operators was not opti- mistic and the events of the day. while not of great importance, were construed unfavorably. The response of foreign markets to the news of the settlement between Austria-Hunary and Turkey was { a disappointment.
 A decline in private discounts in Paris and Berlin, a rise in London exchange at Paris, and a fall in the London price of gold were reflections of the relaxed tension of the situation. London dis counts, however, continued to advance and foreign stock markets did not retain the benefit first shown on the news. The question was left open whether the finan- cial prospect is sufficiently clearp to ob- viate the call for an advance in the Bank of England official rate of discount to- morrow The date for the Russian loan issue was fixed for January 22.
 Stock exchange members on the floor , engaged in some discussion of the trade prospects in this country and were in- clined to give ear to views expressing dis appointment over the rate of business im- provement Limitations were heard of a probable disappointing showing for the forthcoming quarterly report of the United States Steel corporation and the January orders received were said to be disap- pointing. In this connection the rate at which money is coming back from the country into bank reserves is a disquiet- ing evidence of a lack of demand for it in the circulation.
 Current redemption of bank notes by the United States today for the first 12 days of January reached the formidable total of $20,O000 900 and for several days past have been from $2,O000OO to $2,o00000. This rate of refiux approaches if it does aot equal that which set in early last year, when money markets first began to be- come normal hoarded currency to come out and the lessened trade activity to pile up idle reserves in the banks. With speculative sentiment tinged with these views, minor factors of an unfavorable character have increased influence and general conditions have the promising hue overcast

Hubbard Bros. 6 Co.'s Letter.

New York, January 13.-(Special.) )-Liv- erpool was stronger than expected this morning and spot sales were 15,000 bales, which was thought to reflect the improved feeling in Manchester. Our market was disappointing on these cables and eased off on extensive realizing which was in evidence from the opening. The cotton was well taken, and the undertone was at all times firm In the late afternoon brisk buying of October by Wall street houses and the usual demand for the near deliveries advanced the market over last nights closing figures, with the tone very steady. The feeling here is bullish on the ground that realizing sales appear to be we'll absorbed, and that southern mar kets are strong, while an improvement is confidently expected in our trade and in the consequent demand for spots. At the same time, supplies are ample and it Is a question whether the south will not again be found seller on any sharp ad- vance over 9A cents

MORE STRENGTH IN WHEAT MARKET Bears Pound Market Early and
 Cause Losses DECIDED ADVANCE MADE Corn Is Firm at the Start Owing to Covering of Long Line at Duluth. Oats Are Firm and Pro-
 
DECIDED ADVANCE MADE

Chicago. January 1S.-Liberal purchases by leading bulls transformed the wheat market from a weak affair to one Of de- cided strength. At the close prices were %c to 1ssc higher than yesterdays close Corn and provisions closed steady anu oats firmer.
 Financial difficulties involving an ln- fuential grain concern at Duluth caused son,e sions of demoralization in the wheat pit at the opening owing to 'ne selling out of a long line Of wheat held hv that firm. Local bears took ad- vantage of the situation and pounded the market vigorously the first quarter ol an hour. but were unable to force prices below the opening level which was rom Ic to %c below the previous close The attemnt was made futile by the support given to the market by the principal bulls who took all offerings. The mar ket continued somewhat nervous the first half of the day. but the liberal purchases of the big holders gradually started coV- ering by shorts which eventually resulted in sharp upturn in the prices Of all oe- liyeries. The May option advanced 2c and the more distant deliveries rose lc 10 11hc. The smallness of primary receipts aided the bulls in bringing about the ral- ly. A better demand for cash wheat also had a strengthening influence. The mar ket closed strong with prices at the top, final quotations on May being $1.oS and on July at 97Ac. Clearances of wheat ana flour were equal to 24,000 bushels Pri- mary receipts were 2240O0, compared with FPS 900 bushels the corresponding day year ago. Minneapolis, Duluth and Chi cago reported receipts of 157 cars.
 The corn market was firm at the start owing to the covering of a line aggre- gating about 600, 900 bushels by the Duluth concern which was in temporary financial trouble This demand caused considerable activity during the first part of the day, but later trade dwindled to small propor- tions Local holders were moderate sell lers during the final hour, and heavy tone prevailed. The market closed steady with prices hc to b@14c higher than yes terday's close. May closed at 6llsQSlssc July at 61%@61%c. Local receipts, l29 cars; contract grade.
 The early firmness of corn imparted moderate strength to the oats market during the first hour, after which an easier tone developed. The bulge in wheat, however prevented any material loss in prices. Trade throughout the day was quiet The close was steady with prices a shade to Ac higher. May closed at 511s&515sc and July at 4sasc. Local re- ceipts 102 cars.
 Provisions were firm at the start owing to a 10c advance in live hogs, but later the market was barely steady At the close prices were a shade higher to 2lsc lower.
 Cash quotations ranged as follows:

DISASTROUS FIRE
 AT ROME, GEORGIA

Rome, Ga, January 13.-A fire which. 1t was feared, would surpass the s1Oo Ooo conf1agration of two weeks ago started at lO:45 last night in the heart of the business district at Rome. and at an early hour this morning is still burning, the loss at R:So being estimated at s75,0O0.
 The fire started in the livery stables of Lindsey & Hicks. totally destroying the property, with about 20 head of horses. There were 4s head of horses in the stables when the fire was discovered, but it Is thought that more than half of them were saved. The loss is estimated at sl5.Ooo with s5oO0 insurance.
 The fire spread to the Third Avenue hotel, which was in course of construo- tion, destroying it. The loss of this build ing is estimated at ssOO0 with s45OO insur- ance.
 The Wilkerson building, owned by the heirs of Mrs. l. T. Wilkerson, caught next and the four stores were soon wrapped in flames, The fire in this build- ing was still burning at 12:30 this morn- ing. The building is valued at $250Oo.
 The Rome Publishing company occupied a part of the building. Their loss is $20.000. Insurance t6500.
 A Carnachan, harness dealer, sustained a loss of 5000. with s16Oo insurance
 Charles Wilkerson's meat market was destroyed with loss of $1b00.
 The Alexander restaurant, adjoining the livery stable, was also destroyed; loss $1500 insurance 5000.
 The fire was under control at o'clock, and the Wilkerson building was saved from total destruction.
 Earlier estimates of the damage by the fire are undoubtedly exaggerated. and conservative estimate at this hour, o'clock places the damage at between $35,000 and s40,000. This is based upon the certainty that a considerable quan- tity of the stock of goods, supplies, and machinery in the burned buildings are damaged only by water and are not a total loss as was at first believed
