ing what Winifred Freeman, The Age Herald's Halloween chronicler, had to say
 about the Magic City maneuvers upon
 that occasion. "Women in mems attire. , and smoking cigarettes!' Manhattan can t beat that-leastways on her thorough fares-and what I want to know is did
 she really observe it, or was it her as- signment?
 It makes things seem mighty tame around here, anyway, and inclines one to serious consideration of the advisabil- ity of leaving the metropolis for life in a real city once more,

STEAD|ER TONE ON
 COTTON MARKET
Primer Ruling f Stock Mar ket Promoted Buying and
 Sent Prices Up

New York, February 1.-While still more
 or less irregular and unsettled, the cot
 ton market showed a steadier tone today,
 with May contracts selling up from llsSc to 12 l2c and closing at 12.06c.
 Liverpool was better than due. and the
 market here opened firm at an advance of
 6 to 13 points with the moro active posi-
 tions selling to 13 points net higher on
 or immediately following the call This
 improvement carried May contracts up
 to F 25c and october to 12.2lc, but there
 was a good deal of cotton for sale, and one broker alone was credited with sell
 ing nearly 15OO0 bales of May on a scale down from 12 .05c to Il 9Sc. This selling seemed to confuse sentiment more or less
 and the general list sold back to within or points of last nights closing fig
 ures, but offerings were very well taken on a scaledown, and it looked as if large Wall street short interests were also con- siderable buyers, and the market soon rallied, with the demand from scatter ing shorts becoming more active as prices worked up until active months were about 14 to 19 points net higher, with March sell ing at 11.S9c July at F 25c and October at 12.2Sc. Reactions of g or 10 points fol- lowed later in the afternoon owing to a decline in the New Orleans spot mar ket, realizing by early buyers and re- newed liquidation, but Wall street cover- ing steadied prices at the close. The firms CT ruling of the stock market probably promoted some of the buying, while there Tor ,oo .od tr1 Ia iy7. ternational politics and the extent of the recent decline combined with the smaller offerings of long cotton created reac- tionary sentiment. Private cables at- tributed the advance in Liverpool to con- tinental buying of new crop months, a cessation of liquidation and the absence Of hedge selling. Houses with Liverpool connection bought old crop months here, but were sellers of new crop deliveries, while the greater part Of the demand was attributed to covering by Wall street and scattering shorts.

COTTON REACTS FROM LONG DECLINE Upward Move Started in Liverpool, But Is Checked
 by Spot Offerings

New Orleans, February IA reac- tion from the long decline featured the trading on the cotton market here to- day. The upward movement started in Liverpool and was continued in this market until in the afternoon, when spots unexpectedly were lowered by $l bale. This halted the rise and pared down the early gain. At the best Of the day the trading months were 17 to IS points over yesterdays final figures. The close was at a net rise of II to 15 points.
 The market opened at the advance and in the early trading gained II to IF points. Much of the demand came from realizing shorts, although some outside fresh buying was evidenced. The market was active on the opening call and soon took on firm tone. Fear that the high water in the Mississippi valley would cause delay in crop prepa- rations further increased the demand and in the early afternoon the market stood almost S1 a bale up on the most active months.
 Spots lost 1s points, middling being quoted at 11.56c. Buyers of the morn- ing turned sellers on this reduction, but the market closed steady.

GENERAL RECOVERY
 OF STOCK MARKET President Wilson's Speeches Have Tended to Arouse Patriotism

New York, February In explanation bf today's sudden and general recovery bf the stonk market from it's protracted bessimism, various reasons and theories were offered. Primarily, it was declared that the purport of President Wilson's re- Eent speeches had been misinterpreted, that they had not been intended to con Eey a sense of immediate danger, but rather to awaken feeling of patriotism n latent quarters.
 Moreover, and this was the reasoning If the bulls for long account, it was evil lent that standard stocks had been over Bold to levels where technical conditions bn the bear side were no less vulnerable han they had previously been for the constructive account. In any event, prices rallied easily from low levels of Monday, which marked the minimum of recent weeks.
 It is not improbable that partial ces- Bation of foreign liquidation and some re- narkable statements of railroad earnings, notably those of the Pennsylvania sys- lem, were factors too strong to be ig- bored. Weekly reviews dealing. with in fustrial conditions also were taken into he reckoning.
 Rails and other investment issues par ticipated less extensively in the rise than bid certain of the specialties, but the breadth of the movement left little doubt hat it's impose, in part at least, was Derived from substantial sources.
 United States Steel, which on the pre- Eious day fell to 1878. it's lowest quota ion in over three months, was easily the eader, transactions in that stock aggre- Eating very large percentage of the whole. Steel rose to S21a, an extreme gain bf 21a. Crucible Steel was next in &C., Nity and ahead of United States Steel n the extent of it's advance, rising to S, while other war shares reflected more confident buying.
 Bethlehem Steel on very few sales rose to 463, with to 5 point gains in oils, foppers, motors and a score or more of miscellaneous issues, while Industrial Alcohol rose 1614 to 160, and Cuban Amer can Sugar 20 to 196. Altogether 1t was a disastrous session for the short interest. whose urgent covering of contracts added 10 the days business.

WHEAT PRICES TAKE IA DECIDED UPTURN
Export Sales Said to Aggre- gate Two Million Bushels
 Raises Wheat Values

Chicago, February 1.-Huge export sales said to aggregate 2,O00,000 bushels brought about decided upturn today in the value of wheat, although at first the market was weak. Prices closed strong, 2a2tsc to Sd3Mc net higher with May at s1. .3l7sQ1 8 and July at $l255sQ1 26. Corn gained 1c to 11sG114c and oats 114c to 11441ssc. In provisions the outcome was decline of 2A@10c. Wheat prices recov- cred today all the ground lost in yester- days liquida ting period, and in the fresh weakness which developed this morning. Lever quotations from Liverpool and es- inmates that the worlds available sup ply exceeded by 45,000,000 bushels all pre- vious records were influential in giving tra ansient control today to the bears. The accompanying decline resulted in such en- largement of European demand, however, that prices made an upshoot of nearly 5c bushel above the low point of the ses- sion. Word of probable crop damage in Illinois and Missouri tended to help thc advance, and so, too, did the Oklahoma state crop report.
 Corn had independent strength as a re- suit of reduced estimates of the Argentine exportabe surplus. The crop in Argen- tina was said to be seriously impaired by locusts and drought. Oats, like wheat, responded to an improved demand from the seaboard. Shipping sales here amounted to 620000 bushels.
 Weakness in the hog market carried provisions down grade The bulge in grain was something of an offset for a time, but the effect failed to last.
