SPOT SITUATION
DOMINATES MARKET
Absence of Business Holds
Prices Within Narrow
Limits

New Orleans. January 2.-The spot sit
uation dominated the cotton contract mar
ket today. Absence of business held
prices within narrow limits however. al
though the market had a very good un-
dertone.
reports of fairly large sales across the
water were followed by accounts from
spot centers in the belt telling of n large
and increasing demand for export and of
the trouble buyers were having in get
ting the grades they needed, and In MANY
cases had contracted to deliver. II was
! said that In their efforts to fill Janu-
airy engagements some buyers were being
forced to move from one spot market TO
another.
Gossip in regard to ginning was still
bearish, but it had no great influence on
prices Another bearish feature was the
claim that Texas would plant a full acre
age again thiA year. and that much new
ground was already being broken.
The market opened steady, unchanged
to points down, and at the lowest stood
to 6 points down; at the highest. stood
to points over yesterdays last quota
tons, and finally closed at a net rise for
the day of to points.
| Trading throughout the day was chiefly
professional in character, coming mainly
from room operators. This was considered
| rather strange in view of the large spot
business now being done.

IMPROVED EUROPEAN
DEMAND FOR WHEAT
Shrinkage in Estimates of
Argentina ExpOrtable
Surplus a Cause

Chicago, January 21-Shrinkage more
than at any previous time this season
appeared today in estimates of the Argen-
tina exportable surplus of wheat. Prices
here made a corresponding advance and
closed steady, with a gain of 1s4a4c to 14an
,uef leading staples all finished
at loss compared with the night be-
VNgn, .ze TO 14GSsc; oats shade
to sc, and provisions 2lsd1oc.
E.s. SEA itgures from threSherS forced
the probable yield of wheat in Argentina
down to where the margin for export
could not be put at more than 64,0000oo
bushels, as against los 100000 bushels a
year ago. The effect of this bullish news
was increased by dread that the cold
wave northwest of Chicago might spread
over the winter crop belt and cause a
dangerous sudden freeze.
Improved European demand for wheat
here, throughout the west and at the
eastern seaboard gave prices an addi-
tional lift, which, however. failed to last,
the bulge having led to rather heavy SELL
ing ON the part of leading firm. Never
theless the dip from top figures was kept
within ssc. and was not regarded by the
bulls as more than what might naturally
have been expected.
Statements that the number of meat
producing animals on farms had de-
creased to per cent as compared with
last year, tended materially to pun down
the price of corn. The market made only
a temporary response to early advices
that the Argentina crop was failing TO
maintain recent high promise.
Oats weakened with corn. Selling from
commission houses developed as soon as
prices had shown a little upturn.
Provisions regained much of a decline
due to more liberal receipts of hogs than
expected. The rally came about in conse-
quence of the reported falling off in the
total of meat producing animals on farms.
