modified by lighter weight bales and
an unusually large proportion of low
grades or inferior staples and a more
optimistic view of probable mill re-
aulrements has led many operators to
place less stress upon differences Of
opinion regarding the apparent volume
of supply, with the result that more
attention is now engaged by the state
of demand pending the season for pre-
liminary new crop preparations. A fur
ther easing of foreign money mar
kets increased strength and activity
OF securities and continued reports Of
good southern spot demand have been
emphasized by those who are predict
ing that the seasons requirements OF
American cotton will fully equal the
early bullfsh predictions.
Bullish sentiment also seemed to be
encouraged by reports that leading
trade interests were free buyers on to-
days decline. but there was more bear
ish talk around the ring after the close
tonight than there had been earlier In
the week and people who had liqui-
dated recent purchases seemed to ap-
prehend that the increased view of the
crop might unfavorably influence the
attitude of spot buyers or remaining
holders.
Much OF the increased spot demand
reported during the week is supposed
to have come from exporters and local
spot people estimate that large per-
centage of this business has repre-
sented the filling of old contracts for
January shipment rather than a fresh
demand. February Is usually quiet
month in the spot department and the
attitude of mills on fresh business is

Upward

The price of corn yesterday dropped
2 cents on the bushel and the quota

demand is only fair and the supply
adequate. Other commodities of the
grain market are "pegged" and the
merchants say business could be very
much better.
In the egg market on Morris ave-
nue. the tendency Is slightly upward.
The price yesterday on case eggs was
advanced to 32 cents. but extra graded
eggs remain stationary at "a cents.
The demand is quite good and the sup
ply in keeping. Poultry prices are
steady and the demand is good.
In the fish market speckled trout

excellent, prices remaining stationary

Heavier Ginning Than Ex-
pected Sends Price Down.
Fails to Recuperate

New Orleans, January 23.-Heavier
ginning than expected caused de-
cline of nearly a dollar a bale in the
cotton market today. partly destroyed
the good tone that has ruled of late
and caused considerable liquidation OF
long cotton. The market did not dis
play Its usual recuperative power and
closed at practically the lowest of the
day
The census bureau issued a report
Just before the opening of business
indicating that 256.000 bales of cot-
ton were ginned in the period between
January l and January 1s. The trade
expected something around 100000
of the report did not exceed 2250oo
bales. ON the heels OF this report
came much bearish comment regarding
the total yield this season.
First prices were IL to Is pointa

PRICES COUP TOTHE
HIGHEST TLEvELY YET
Gains in Some Instances 2
Points-Activity in Bonds
and Stocks

New York. January 2S.-Toward the
close of today's market prices swept up
ward to the highest level yet reached
exchange.
In some instances gains reached . points
or more. although net changes of a ma
jority of the active shares were smaller.
Southern Pacific sold within a fraction
of par and Atchison crossed the 100
mark.
Trading was again active in both stocks
and bonds
Prior to the final upturn the course of
the market was less assuring Profit TAX
ing at times caused reactions in individual
stocks and Canadian Pacific had periods
of distinct heaviness.
The undertone was good and the gen.
eral tendency also was higher.
Professional selling was offset by Wig
orous outside buying and while the mar
kets absorptive capacity was hardly as
great as during the two preceding days
1t was apparent that the influences which
gave the upward impetus had by no
means lost their force.
Traders sold shares In the early session
believing that the extent of the rise
pointed to reaction. The Wilson ad-
ministration antitrust bills, made public
over night. were utilized by the bears.
who contended that certain features of
the measure were drastice enough to
cause misgivings in the financial district.
This view was not generally adopted and
the shorts in behalf of the action were
able to make little headway.
Prices moved back and forth within a
comparatively narrow limit until buying
broadened sufficiently late in the day to
make the upward movement irresistible,
United States Steel was helped by the
higher prices for some steel products.
Reports of better business conditions were
not confirmed by the stocks of idle freight
cars which showed a large increase in the
first half of the month.
December figures of domestic exports
revealed falling off as compared with
the total for the last month of the pre-
ceding year, which was unusually large,
but the 1914 figures compared favorably
with earlier years.
Another large cash gain was indicated
by known movements of currency for
the week bolstering assurances. Esti-
mates varied from $1,000, 900 to 81, ,000, ,O0O
The advance in bonds continued. Some
issues gained as much as points.
Total sales par value, So, 200. United
States bonds were unchanged on call.

COTTON MARKET
LOWER YESTERDAY
Recent Buyers Seemed I'm
settled by Census Report.
Off II to Is Points

New York, January 25.-Cotton was
lower today. Recent buyers seemed to
be unsettled by the census report show
ing lS,5Ss,oco bales ginned to January 16.
and there was considerable scattering
liquidation. An early loss was followed
by rallies, but prices weakened again in
late trading and closed barely steady at
net decline of from 10 to 10 points
The market opened easy at decline
OF to 1S points. with active months II
to IA points net lower during early trad
ing. Private reports had suggested a gin
ming OF about 1S,5Oo,00 bales to January
l6, but while the official figures were
only slightly in excess of this expeeta-
tion. they were evidently a disappoint-
ment to recent buyers. The amount of
cotton ginned for the last period was
2S6,0Oo bales, compared with about 1s2, 600
paies Tor the same period last year. which
led some to anticipate that the amount
remaining to be ginned may prove in
excess of last years figures or over 20. 900
bales.
Offerings were we'll absorbed on the
early decline. however, partly throurh n
good demand from some of the leading
''"uo ih'ei estS anu as soon as the first
rush of selling orders had subsidized the
market turned steadier. Rallies of & or
Z points followed on reports of a con-
\ tlnued activity on spot demand In the
| south, but business became much less
active on the advance. and the market
broke again under liquidation by people
who had evidently carried their cotton
over the early. decline. Prices reached
the low point Of the day in the late trad
ing, and closed at practically that level
Aside from the census report there
| appeared to be no change in the general
character of the news and the week
end hgures were about in line with ex-
pectations. although the small decrease in
the visible supply of American may have
promoted some of the late selling
