MOVEMENT
 ON COTTON MARKET
Close Was Steady at a Net Advance of 8 to g
 Points

New York December 22-While a sharp early rally was followed by another ex- cited selling movement in the cotton mar ket this afternoon, only near months made new low ground, and the close was steady at a net advance of to 23 points. March contracts sold at 1675c, broke to lG .20c and closed at 39c. January was relatively easy during the entire day, selling about B to 36 points under March in anticipation of notices next Tuesday
 A more cheerful view of international affairs, inspired by the explanatory state ment received from Washington late yes terdsy, served to intensity reactionary impulses during the early trading. Liver pool did not fully meet yesterdays sen sational break on this side, and the mar ket here opened at an advance of 14 10 47 points. There was buying for a re- action as well as heavy covering, with the active months selling 45 to 53 points net higher during the first few minutes. This advance carried January up to .S3c and May to 16.95c. but the market then met increased offerings. partly from houses with Liverpool connections. After reac- tions of 25 to 30 points, the volume of business tapered off but the market seemed to meet pressure on comparative ly moderate upturns, and prices broke severely during the afternoon under con tinued Liverpool selling Stop orders were uncovered with January breaking to 15.90c or points net lower, and May to 16.4Sc, or within 3 points of last nights clos ing figures. The selling, however, was not as heavy or as urgent as it was yesterday afternoon and the close showed rallies of several points on renewed cov- ering. Private cables reported a small market in Liverpool with the tone stead jed by trade buying. Liverpool will not reopen for business until next Tuesday morning. The continued nervousness here was most generally attributed to the un- certainty of peace negotiations and the unsettling influence of recent violent .1uc- tuations. Advices received here from the south generally reported small offerings from the interior, and some of the early buying was promoted by talk of strong CT statistical position.
