MODERATE ADVANCE
IN COTTON MARKET
However, Bullish Trade Ad-
vices Fail to Inspire Any
General Demand

New York. January 2S.-Bullish trade
adviees caused a moderate advance in
cotton, but failed to inspire any general
demand, and prices later eased off un-
der realizing, and on an easier turn in
New Orleans. Closed barely steady and
net points lower to 2 points higher.
Cables were a shade lower than due
and the local market opened at a de-
cline of / to 2 points. Houses with
Liverpool connections were buyers here,
however, and there was considerable
scattering demand which became a lit
tie more animated on reports that China
was a more active buyer on cotton goods
in Manchester.
Memphis and New Orleans interest
were credited with buying on the ad-
vance. which carried active months
about to points above yesterdays
close. But the support did not become
aggressive, and after the close of Liv-
erpool had shut out arbitrage business,
the demand appeared to be even less
active. Prices turned easier and in late
trading there appeared to be some
southern selling and further scattering
liquidation. The close was at practically
the lowest of the day.
Private cables from Liverpool reported
some hedge selling and continental liaui-
dation, but said that offerings had been
absorbed by spinners calling. The In
creased activity of exporters is reflected
In the daily cearances with total ex-
ports for the season up to the close
of business tonight falling only $4,000
bales short of last season. although a
month or so they We're more than 100000
bales behind.

FLUCTUATIONS IN
STOCKS IRREGULAR
Spectators Uncertain As to
Way to Turn-Further
Easing of Money

New York, January 2S.-During the
, absence of new influence to give direc-
/ tion to speculative effort the stock mar
ket today travelled over much the same
commercial ground as in the preceding
day.
Fluctuations were irregular, rising
and falling in a purposeless way. The
first tendency was downward, after
which the market rose above yester-
days close. The upturn lacked stabtli-
ty also.
Spectators were uncertain which
way to turn. 1t was the general opin-
Ion that a reaction was to be looked
for before resumption of the advance
could be expected, but the strong de-
mand on recent downward swings made
1.-the shorts fearful of offering stocks
freely.
Reading held first place in the mar
ket on account of vigorous buying,
which for time held the stock well
over the general level. Exceptional
weakness prevailed in the Rock Island
stocks and bonds leading to discussion
of financial problems which the COM
pany may be called upon to solve. The
tobacco stocks as a group were strong.
Reports of improvement in the copper
trade gave a better tone to the copper
shares after they had fell earlier in the
session. Sales of the metal We're made
at IA &c.
London reversed its attitude in this
I market, dsposing of about 10000
shares of the stock purchased outright
here yesterday for foreign account.
< There was further easing of money
rates and for the first time in months
commercial paper was placed under 4
per cent.
The recent upward movement in
! bonds was checked. Various points OF
heaviness appeared. Total sales, par
value. $3.65O,000. United States bonds
were unchanged on call

VALUES OFF
IN LATE TRADING
Bear Pressure Has Its Eff.
feet Following Steady
Tone in the Morning

New Orleans. January .S-Throughout
the morning session the cotton market
had steady tone and a tendency to ad-
vance moderately but In the afternoon
bear pressure had its effect and values
fell off until they were under the close
Of yesterday. The net change for the
day was loss of to points.
There WAS little speculation. The main
bullish influence of the morning was re-
ports from Manchester and Liverpool that
China was taking more interest in the
English cotton markets. In the afternoon
bears were aggressive, apparently on the
belief that local spot quotations would be
reduced. Spots lost iac. but no great
amount of selling came out after spot
quotations were posted.
Some short selling was included by
Texas accounts, telling of much land
being broken in preparations for the new
crop. These offerings checked an upward
movement of prices.
Opening steady at a rise of / to 4 points
the market very gradually rose to a level
to points over yesterdays last figures.
In the afternoon, at the lowest, the trad
ing months were to points under yes
teroay's close.

WHOLESALE TRADE
HOLDING ITS OWN
Egg Shortage AS Yet Is I'm
relieved-Small Shipment
of Strawberries

Business on Morris avenue yesterday
continued to hold its own, the demand
being about on a par with what 1t has
been all the week. Business now is very
good and with the exception of eggs
prices are normal. The demand for eggs
is very good, but the supply is very short.
In the fish market a new shipment of
snapper has been received and the mer-
chants report good sales. Prices are un-
changed and supplies of all fish are ade-
quate for the demand.
Produce continues to find favor and yes
terday a few cases of Strawberries were
received, being doled out to the restau-
rants in small lots. No restaurant In the
city received more than six boxes the
shipment being too small to sell to each
as many as were wanted.

ADVANCE SHOWN IN
LEADING STAPLES
Fear Predicted Cold Wave
May Hurt Winter Crop.
Wheat Prices Rise

Chicago, January 2s.--Alarm that the
predicted cold wave might bring disaster
to the winter crop had a good deal today
to do with a bulge in prices of wheat.
The market closed nervous at a net ad-
vance of sc net Corn showed a gain of
7sq1@1I4c and oats a rise of 14qA@ssc.
In provisions the outcome varied from
21ac decline to 10c upturn.
Wheat displayed firmness from the be-
ginning. Inadequacy of snow protection
over autumn sown fields made the chance
of hard freeze a serious menace. Here
tofore this season the temperature has
not at any time been frigid enough to
affect more than the surface of the soil.
AS result great tracts, especially in
Missouri, Kansas ana Oklahoma We're said
to be muddy or soaking in water and
threatened with severe damage. accord
ing to the degree and continuance OF
sudden chill.
Europe's acknowledgement that supplies
were becoming inadequate seemed fur
ther to aid the bull side. Export bids at
Baltimore came nearer to a working
basis today. Attention was also given
to the scantiness of receipts and to as
sertions that country mills have contracts
for 10 per cent of the spring crop left
in elevators northwest.
Corn went sharply higher influenced by
the prospect of a decided enlargement of
the feeding demand and by talk of locust
damage in Argentine's fields. Country
offerings were generally small and there
were reports of additional bids for ocean
shipment out of Bostons port.
Oats advanced with other Nrain. The
buying was chiefly on the part of belated
shorts.
Provisions temporarily suffered from a
bearish construction placed ON the gov
ernment-slve stock figures and because
of break in hogs price.
The property unloaded found its way
into strong hands.
A decided rally allowed packers to
renew hedging made necessary by the
slacSness of the cash trade in meats.
