SHARP ADVANCE
 IN COTTON PRICES
National GinnerS' Report Shows
 Small Amount Ginned
GOOD SUPPORT IS GIVEN
AdVices From the South Report Firm Situation In Interior Markets, Which Gives Impetus To
 the Buying Orders.

New York, January 20.-Today's cotton market had a very sharp advance, reeov- ering all of it's recent loss and making new high records for the season. The close was steady and to Is points net higher Sales were estimated at 375,00C bales.
 The market opened steady at decline of to points, in response to lower cables and a renewal of yesterdays real izing, but soon rallied on the detailed re- port of the National Ginners' association, estimating the amount ginned to January 16 at 16,62S,0O0 bales, and the amount re- maining to be ginned at only 131, GOO bales. pointing to a growth of little under F, 800, ,0O0 bales excluding linters or a commercial crop of about B, 250,OOO bales. There have been rumors in the market for the past day or two that these figures would be very small, but the circulation of the details brought in many outside buyers, through wire and commission houses. leading spot interests supported progressively, and before the upward movement was checked March had sold at 9.61e and July at 9.53c, with the general list some B to 20 points net higher.
 The close was a little off from the best under realizing. A few stop loss orders on the short side were uncovered above 9.56c for March, following which there was considerable selling for profit, par ticularly in the last hour.
 Private advices from the south reported a generally firm situation in the interior and the southern markets officially re- ported early were 1-l6c to Sc higher.
 The report of the census bureau on gin ming is expected at the opening on satur- day.
 Receipts at ports today, 46.79S bales, against 40,SS5 last week and 45,2O7 last year.
 For the week, 2s5,oO0 bales, against PAP, ,1OO last week and 262, 7O1 last year.
 Todays receipts at New Orleans, 12,S11 bales, against 965s last year, and at Houston, 5S11 bales, against 6536 last year

WHEAT MARKET
 AGAIN HIGHER Sentiment Is BulIiSh Nearly the
 Whole Session CLOSE ALMOST AT THE TOP Forecast of Wet Weather for the Corn Belt Adds to Strength of Corn Mar ket-oats and Provisions
 Also Close Firm.
CLOSE ALMOST AT THE TOP

Chicago, January 20-Buying of tho May delivery by prominent short caused strength in the wheat market here to- day prices at the close being up 1ac to %9%c. Corn, oats and provisions also closed firm.
 The feature of trade in the wheat pit was the congestion in the May delivery, which resulted at times in a highly ner- vous market. During the greater part of the day, however, sentiment in the pit was decidedly bullish, and at the close prices were almost at the highest point. Continued small receipts in the northwest formed the basis of much of the strength. although the light movement was par italy offset by decline in the price of wheat at Liverpool. Arrivals today at Minneapolis and Duluth were only IA cars, against 341 cars the corresponding day a year ago. A leading commission house, which has wealthy local and out of-town cllentage, was reported to have purchased more than 100000 bushels of the May delivery during the day, and this buying caused an advance of exactly 1c for that option from the low point of the session. Other deliveries showed less strength. At the close, May sold at s1 .07s4D1. OTIS, and July at 9S1sq9SAc. Clearances of wheat and flour were equal to 242,OO0 bushels Primary receipts were 2S7OOo bushels, compared with 6l4.OoO bushels the corresponding day year ago. Minneapolis, Duluth and Chicago reported receipts of 147 cars.
 An official forecast for wet weather for the corn belt had strengthening effect on the corn market, but the volume of trading was light after the first hour. The weather bureau predicts showers tonight or Thursday for Illinois, Indiana, Missouri and Iowa. Local receipts were more than had been estimated, being reported at 370 cars, with six of contract grade The market closed firm, with May at 6l7sc and July at 621sc.
 Oats were firm on good demand by a leading elevator interest. The greatest interest seemed to center around the dis tant deliveries and these options were rel atively stronger than the futures. Offer ings in the pit were limited during the greater part of the day. The market closed firm, with May at 51&Q517sc and July at 461zQ46ssc. Local receipts were 1O5 cars.
 Heavy purchases of pork by traders who usually operate in the grain pits imparted considerable strength to the provisions market, following another weak opening due to liberal receipts of live hogs. The close was firm, with prices up 21ac to 35c compared with the previous close.
 Estimated receipts for tomorrow: Wheat ? cars, corn 2S5 cars, oats 102 cars, hogs 3S, 900 head.
 Cash ouotations ranged as follows.
