NEW YORK COTTON
 MARKET IS QUIET
The General List Remains Steady at Small Net
 Advance

New York, January 1.-The cotton market was very quiet today with March contracts selling off from 12.57c to 12.5Oc and closing at 12.52c. The gen. eral list closed steady at net ad- vance of to 10 points; active old crop deliveries being to 6 points net higher.
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of 7 to 9 points in response to higher Liverpool cables The strength abroad however, seemed to create very little buying power around the local ring and prices soon turned easier. After selling at 12.79c May contracts eased off to 12.72c during the middle of the day, while July declined from l2.9Oc to 12.S5c and October from 1279c to 12.74c. It seemed from the talk that the firmness abroad had served to emphasize the difficulties of the export situation and there was probably scat tering liquidation by recent local buy CTS who had expected some action on the part of the British government to relieve the scarcity of ocean tonnage or to limit freight rates. There was also selling here for Wall street ac- count and while Liverpool was a mod crate buyer during the first hour there was very little support around the ring.
 Closing prices showed rallies of 2 or points from the lowest on cover ing. Bullish reports from the domestic goods trade attracted some attention but evidently failed to stimulate de- mand and the interest of the trade appeared to center on the export sit uation or on the probable effect of approaching new crop preparations on the attitude of remaining spot cotton holders in the south. Private cables re- ported a small but strong market in Liverpool owing to the absence of hedging and generally small offerings. The Liverpool buying here was sup posed to be for the purpose of undoina straddles at the wider differences and notwithstanding the local setback, Liverpool held very steady after the opening of the American markets

HANG ON TO MARKET
 ADVISES BROKER

A wire to me from New Orleans this morning says:
 "The tightening of the British block ade creating a bearish sentiment. For eign freight brokers report no room any ports, small offerings except to Liverpool for March shipment at s freight.''
 The foregoing states concisely the sole and only bar to an advance in our markets. Despite this situation our markets seem to have been sold to a standstill and bears seemed to hesitate about increasing their commitments in face of such stubborn resistance to bear pressure as this market has shown
 The freight rate situation will be relieved very shortly. Is my predic ton. Apropos of this. the following wire Just posted on the blackboard in New Orleans is evidence in that di- rection:
 Letter from w. A. Blake Co.,, Bal timore, Md: Will you kindly furnish us with names of some of your cot so~ shirpe~s who are likely to be in- terested an chartering tonnage for shipments to European ports. We have several desirable vessels that are avail able for charter"
 My counsel is patience, patience and still ,more patience and you will be rewarded by much higher prices. It's the one that sticks that wins.

SUGAR MARKET

New York, January 1.-The mar
 ket for raw sugar was firmer today
 and prices advanced 1-16c on Cuban
 varieties. Trading was little more
 active with refiners again in the mar
 ket on the idea that the demand for
 granulated will steadily increase from
 now, owing to the fact that supplies
 in the country are beginning to Ahow signs of depletion. The days business
 included 20,000 bags of Cubas for Jan uary clearance at 8 9-16c cost and freight: 15,000 bags of Cubas first half
 February shipment at 31ac cost and
 freight; 11,OO0 bags of Porto Ricos
 early February clearance at figures
 equal to 4.33c for centrifugal and H.
 600 bags of Cubas clearance January
 25c to Pennsylvania refiners at 3Mc for prompt shipment, although it was generally believed that bids of 1-32c under this price would result in business Closing prices. were 4.S3c to 4.5Sc for centrifugal. S,Esc to 3.S1c for molasses and 3 9-16c for Nt s7ss cost and freight.
 The local market for refined r was firm and unchanged on the TA of 5.75c for fine granulated. The MI mand was only moderate, although
 some improvement is looked for in the near future.
 The market for futures was It. tie more active and prices were hign- CT on little support from Cuban m terests and covering, closing to II points net higher. January sold 5.o5W 3.75c, closing 3.75c; February from sol @a.56c. closing 3.55c; March, S5o@ 3.5Gc, closing S.56c May from 3.65@ S.7Oc, closing s.6Sc; July, 376@37sc closing 3.7Sc.

BULLS GET CONTROL
 OF WHEAT MARKET
Surprise Over Smallness of Visible Supply Makes
 Opening

Chicago, January 17.-Surprise over the smallness of an increase in the United States visible supply total had great deal to do today with the bulls final control of the wheat market and so, too, did prospects of removal of the railroad embargo on shipments to Baltimore Despite a setback which took place soon after the start, prices closed strong, 1 to 11sc net higher, with May at 12S5sc and July at 122c. All the other chief stables. too, scored gains-corn, 5sc, oats 7sG1c to 15sq13lc, and provisions 15 to 52 cents. Wheat traders had been expecting q notable enlargement of the visible supply and many were compelled to make a quick change of position when late in the session figures were posted showing an increase of only 72,00O bushels, whereas the increase last week was 2,514,OOO bush- els. A falling off of 606,OO0 bushels in the amount of wheat on hand at Chicago formed one of the items which had not been generally foreseen. The fact that one of the principal eastern railroads was scheduled to resume tonight the un- restricted handling of wheat shipments to the seaboard at Baltimore became known about the same time as the yis- ible supply today. A further material handicap to the bears was the renewal of fears of cold weather damage to unpro- tected fields in the winter crop belt
 Heavy selling by leading firms was chiefly responsible for depression that set in soon after the opening and continued more or ess in evidence until about mid- day. The selling, which nullified for the time being the influence of higher prices at Liverpool, was based largely on re- ports of increasing stocks at Minnea polls and Duluth and on misleading impress sion that the visible supply would exhibit a substantial gain.
 Corn, although at first depressed by prospects of larger receipts and by re- ports of beneficial rains in Argentina, was afterwards given a decided upturn. The late strength came chiefly from talk Of reduced stocks in the east and of chances of improved export demand. Oats trade broadened out from the start. The seaboard and commission houses were heavy buyers, encouraged because of better railroad and shipping conditions at Baltimore and owing to the wide dis count for oats as against corn
 Higher prices on hogs helped to lift provisions. Liberal exports tended also to bring about an advance

SLIGHT INCREASE AT NEW ORLEANS Cotton Steady, But Trading Restricted by Poor
 Cables

| New Orleans, January 17.-Cotton was steady on the local market today but
 trading was restricted by pessimistic feel ing regarding foreign trade. While no selling power of consequence developed, | advances were not well sustained Around
 the opening the trading months were sent
 up on good cables for a gain of points
 This was followed by sag back to al-
 most the level of last weeks close. Late ! in the day a little more strength was | shown, but the close was only to 6
 points up, October showing the most 1 gain.
 l Foreign exports for the day were only
 13,599 bales. while total foreign shipments | thus far this week amounted to only 14,- 1 699 bales. This led to the argument that the export situation was getting worse instead of better. Some of the selling of | the day resulted from the claim by freight agents that almost no ocean room could be had out of this port. One agent re- ported a little March room for Liverpool at $15 bale. Spots were steady and
 unchanged at 1219c for middling, as com pared with sales of January at 12oSc, but trading was light.

Hubbard Rros. & Co.,s Letter

New York, January 17.-(Special.) ) Again Liverpool feels the effect of the large business doing in Manchester, whether for government or for export; it is upon such scale that spinners prefer to secure their cotton rather than wait in the hope of lower prices. These purchases caused the advance abroad and brought some buying from the foreign arbitrage houses, which in turn was supplied by those who have become unsettled in their views by the bearish opinions held as to increased acreage and the lack of freight room with which to export cotton. We be- lieve the interest is being rapidly re- duced to smaller proportions on both sides under these conditions, but it is apparent that any mill in the world which can obtain cotton is working full time.
