SHARP ADVANCE
IN COTTON MARKET
Reaction During the After
noon, But Close Is
Firm

New York, January 22.-There was a
further sharp advance in the cotton mar
xet today with March contracts selling
about u cents above Mondays low level
on continued trade buying and covering
of shorts.
Reactions occurred during the afternoon
but the close was firm and last prices
were to % points net higher.
The market opened firm at an advance
of S to is points In response to higher
cables than due, bullish overnight spot
advices from the south, renewed covering
and support from leading trade interests
particular of July. Realizing by recent
huyers caused some little irregularity
but the market worked generally higher
until prices showed a net advance of
from 15 to % points. At this level the
demand became less urgent and MS soon
as the market showed a disposition to
hesitate there was a renewal of selling
pressure while houses with Memphis con-
nections also became rather active sell
ers.
Those offerings were accompanied by
private advices from Memphis claiming
that the advance in spots was not bring.
ing in any fresh demand and reports
were received from New Orleans that
cotton was still being picked in some
sections of Texas. The market eased off
some or 10 points in consequence, but
rallied In the last few minutes on New
Orleans buying, renewed covering and
local bull support which seemed to be
inspired by reports that the Balkan trou-
bles had been settled.

WHEAT AND OATS
SOMEWHAT LOWER
Corn and Provisions Firm.
Prices Below Tues
days Close

Chicago. january 22.-wheat and oats
today were heavy. They were somewha.
lower. Corn was firm and provisions were
firm. Wheat exhibited furry of firm
ness early on the corn flrmness and on
the estimate of an authority abroad that
the continent will require weekly sup
ply of 70, 500. 600 bushels.
The prices at any time did not equal
yesterdays close.
Generally lower cables, easier ocean
freights, a poor cash demand, both do
mestic and export were against prices
during the day There were indications
that the congestion of cars in the north
west is being dissolved. With 92iec
reached resting orders for May came H.
The close, while under Tuesday, was 1ae
over the bottom. The strength of corr
was interrupted only once when pit
traders. following the early buying. sold
to secure quick profits. This was near
the close and knocked only Ac off the
highest. Weather in Argentine still be-
ing dry. was the chief factor. as has been
the case for several days. SO important
has the influence of this surplus grain
become in its relation to the rest of the
world that the board of trade has ar
ranged to receive Buenos Ayres quota

Argentine corn crop will be 4o,ooo,oo bush

clared the crop was too FAR advanced
He said il could not suffer much from the
heat. Cash oats, totalling 100000 bushels
were sold and the price advanced A@Rc
but futures eascd> off despite this and the
corn strength. Heavy primary receipts
were against the cost.
Provisions opened at lower level on
the increased hog run and decline at IRE
yards, but rather enigmatic demand de-
veloped later and closing prrces were
shade over yesterday.
Fnture quotations were as follows:

New Orleans Cotton Market

New Orleans, January 22-cotton fu-
lures opened steady at an advance of
to IL points on good cables and de-
termined support from bullish traders
today Prominent spot interests were
said to have been large buyers at the
opening. The market took on good
undertone and weaker shorts were
driven 10 cover. The weather map
was cloudy and the forecast promised
rain, which caused bullish comment to
the effect that farm work would be
DELAYED At the end of the first half
hour prices were II to IA points over
the close Of Tuesday. The new crop po-
sitions showed the least strength.
Many private cablegrams were re-
ceived from England and the continent
of Europe during the morning. The gist
of their news was that foreign traders
regarded the Balkan states war as
being practically settled. Continental
traders. especially were reported to be
large buyers OF cotton futures in con-
sequence. Outsiders came into the mar
ket on the long side on this news and
on reports of better general spot in
ouiry. In the forenoon late the trad
ing months were 10 TO Fl points up.
Longs who were scalping took profits.
At noon prices were IA to 16 points up.
In the afternoon the trade was dull
and featureless. At 2 p. m. the trad
ing months were IL to II points up.

These were in Brazil. There appeared
to be few buying orders around the ring
and lower closing cables from Havre were
followed by further declines. Advices
that the Balkan troubles had been set
tied caused rallies of a point or two IN

Prices for Fryers Up-Pro-

Small fryers are now quoted at 221sQ

The movement of prices are due largely
to the political news and the apparent
certainty of an early end to hostilittes In

In addition the market has been heavily

the better outlook, coupled with the buy
