New York Cotton,

New York, Oct. 14.-The cotton
market opened steady at an advance
of 11@15 points today with January
and later months making new high
records for the season on rather ag-
gressive support from recent proml-
nent buyers. There was heavy real
izing around 1770c for December and
1859 lfor January, however, with
prices later showing reactions of
several points from the best. The
census figures on supply and distri-
button, showing consumption for Sep
tember of 529,227 bales lint and 61,-
719 bales linters, indicated q slight
falling off as compared with August,
but seemed to attract no special at
tenton, and a good part of the early
trading was attributed to evening up
for over the weekend. December
sold off to 17.51c and January to
17.4Sc before the end of the first
hour.
Later fluctuations were irregular
with the close steady net l point low
err to points higher, December being
relatively easy.
Cotton closed steady. The range:
