INCREASED ACTIVITY
 IN COTTON MARKET
Violent Fluctuations in the Prices-Opening Steady
 at Decline

New York January 12.-The eofon market reflected increasing activity and considerable excitement during todays Ftrading and there were violent huctua- tions in prices, New high ground for the movement was established during the morning, but sharp reactions occurred lster and the close was barely steady at a net loss of from 3 to points.
 The opening was steady at decline of to ] points. and during the early session active months sold about to 10 points net lower under realizing by re- cent buyers and local bear pressure, which appeared to be encouraged by somewhat disappointing cables. reports that large majority of the British coal miners were prepared to strike and talk of labor troubles in New England Lead ing spot interests gave the market ag gressive support on this decline. how ever: early sellers soon became uneasy. owing to unfavorable weather in the south with a consequent outlook for continued light receipts and the market during the middle of the day sold up about 20 pointsg from the lowest on active cover
 
 stop loss orders. May contracts sold as high as 9.So on this advance, while Oeto- Der touched 10 cents and active months generally showed net gain of from & to 12 points. Realizng checked the ad- vance around this level and the market sold off sharply under offerings of thls character. and rather active selling for reaction. which was doubtless encouraged by reports that the new 54 hour labor law was leading to the possibility of strike in Massachusetts mills and by rGmors that bigger bulls were reducing their lines. Tho close was within or points from the lowest. Private cables from Liverpool predicted that the Lancashire labor troubles would be settled on Mon day.

Hubbard Bros. X Co.'S Letter

New York. January 12.--tSpecial.l- - Liverpool reported heavy realizing TOT continental account in that market and selling orders from the same sources appeared on the opening.
 This caused q slight reaction Tn prices. but soon many buying orders ap- peared from New Orleans and from Wall street houses, which advanced the market to the highest level of this upward movement. The immediate reason for this demand appeared to be the very cold weather over the south, which was expected to delay the move ment.
 On the advance to about 10c for Oe- tober the south sent selling orders, which finally had the effect of closing the market under last evenings prices. A strike in Lawrance, Mass, for the same pay but less hours, had some eff feet. as it might spread over the whole state
 Liverpool should come unchanged to a shade lower Our northern spinners have not followed the advance.

New Orleans Cotton Market

New orleans, January lZ.-CotlOn opened at the advance on the situation in the Lancashire dispute. The wealth CT man was extremely unfavorable, snow and rain bringing temperatures below freezing. These conditions were widely scattered and the storm will probably sweep the delta and probably cause delay to farm work This and bull operations held prices up, At the end of the first hour prices were to 10 points down, however
 After the morning initial slump the market became steady for futures on reports of active and widespread spot demand.
 Some of the principal interior mar kets sent in telegraphic news stating that spot shorts were covering and buying everything in sight.
 Large sales were reported after hours yesterday. This gave the list sudden strength and caused buying for both accounts on a large scale.
 The decline was made up and a net advance of to 13 points established. Longs on the primary upward took profits and at noon this was enough to cause a reaction. which put the trading months to a level to 8 points over yesterday.
 Profit taking among. the bulls fin futures became heavy and in addition disquieting rumors were received re- garding the labor dispute abroad. A half hour before the close active months were ? to 4 points under yes terday.

OUTLOOK BETTER
 FOR LATE HARVEST
Closing Wheat Prices Trifle Lower Than Thursday.
 Crop Reports Better

Chicago, January 12.-Easy conditions resulted from improved weather in ihe Argentine republic, making the outlook better for a late harvest for wheat in that country Closing prices were lsal4c lower than yesterday.
 Final trades left corn i4e to ssc down oats unchanged 10 5se off and hog prod uets a shade to 71aal0c decline Doubt less the more favorable conditions for harvesting wheat in the Argentine would have greater effect on the market but for the fact that owing to the railroad strike in that country shipments from there have ,dwindled to almost noth- ing.
 Better crop prospects though were also reported from India and Russia. Liberal snow protection over most of the winter wheat belt in the United States afforded some additional comfort to specnlators on the bear side. Support developed on the decline. owing 10 the tightness of world shipments and because receipts were un- der the record of year ago. Consider ing the terrific cold and storms the sup plies arriving at terminal points, how ever, seemed to many dealers to be larger than could reasonably have been expect ed. The outcome was steady tone at tho finish.
 Between the opening and the wind up May ranged from 99Ac 10 $l.o0,s. with last sales Ae net lower at 997sc
 Corn was strong until leading con- cern sold about 15oo,000 bushels for May delivery and caused break in prices all around. Belief that the crest of the cold wave would be reached tonight and that a rush of receipts would soon follow. was apparently back of the big sales. May fuctulated from 6514c to 65ase. closing steady. 14@ase lower. Cash grades were quiet. No. yellow was not quoted The oats market showed a tendency to dip. private wire houses having plenty for sale on all the hard spots. Bearish ac- ton in corn counted also against the bulls.
 May varied between 49a49isc and 491kq i9Ssc, with the close 49ssa4914c for de- cline of h9ssc compared with yester- day.
 Provisions showed long intervals of de- pression. Stock yard traders and smaller western packers exhibited considerable de- sire to unload. When the pit was cleared pork had fallen 21za5c to 71aQ10c and the rest of the list was off from a shade to Dc.
 Future quotations were as follows:
