NEW HIGH RECORDS
IN COTTON MARKET
Development of Sensational
Strength in January Con-
tracts the Feature

New York, January 1.-The development
of sensational strength In January con-
tracts. which made new high records
for the session was the feature in the
cotton market today. That position sold
Al points or s2.0 per bale above the
closing price of Tuesday, and while de-
mand did not become really active or
general, later deliveries sympathized to
the extent of some 20 points and the gem
eral market closed firm at net gain of
from 10 To Sc points
The market opened, steady at an ad-
vance of l point to decline of l point
and during the early trading showed
little feature.
AS liverpool remained closed there
were no cables to influence sentiment
and there appeared to he no fresh fea-
lures of Importance. A private gin
ming report indicating 12se1 900 bales
ginned to January, was issued, but
failed to stimulate any interest of con-
sequence and 1t was not until scatter

that the market showed any anima-
ton. These buyers were not urgent at
first but they found little or no cotton

that the contracts have been under a
parity with southern spot markets, and
notices issued on Monday were promptly
stopped by leading spot interests. As
prices worked higher other scattering
Wall street, western and southern shorts
became alarmed, however. and before
they had secured more than 1000 or
10000 bales, according to local estimates,
January was selling at 1315c, or the
highest price reached by any delivery
in the local market since the middle
of last summer. Around this level there
was little more for sale and the price
eased Off to points from the best.
Shorts in later deliveries showed some
uneasiness as January worked up, but
the buying movement was limited, and
the general list sold only Il to % points
above the closing figures of last Tues
day.
