TRADE BUYING WAS
 B|G COTTON ACTOR
Southern Spots in Demand, But Holders Believe the
 Staple Is Going Higher

New York, January 24.-The cotton market was higher today on renewal of trade buying and covering, but the tone was still more or less unsettled and advances were not fully main tained. After selling up from 3o.70c to 30.s5c, March contracts reacted to So.75c and closed at 30.S2c. with the general list closing steady at net advance of 26 to 3s points.
 The market opened firm at an ad vance of 22 to 37 points, on firm cables, bullish overnight spot advices and re- ports that spinners were again call ing cotton or fixing prices. The mar ket was also influenced by Washing ton advices indicating that the price fixing bill might be held up indefinite iy, and after some little irregularity sold about 3S to 51 points net higher. January was held by scattered realiz- ing in preparation for the last notice day tomorrow, but advanced to 31c while May sold up to 30.55c, or 51 points above last nights closing fig ures The volume of buying then tapered off and the market evidently met considerable realizing while there was a renewal of Wall street selling during the early afternoon followed later reports from Washington that the price fixing bill had not been pigeonholed. but was being considered by the House committee on agricul ture.
 Rather sharp reactions of 20 to 25 points were followed by a compara~ lively quiet and steady market late in the afternoon. Optimistism as to peace prospects was encouraged by reiter- ated reports of disturbances in Austria but some of the brokers with Wall street connections were said to be sell ing on belief that while it might cause temporary advance, it would be followed by declining prices South western advices reported a good de- mand for spots with small offerings, and holders were said to be rendered firmer in their views of the drouth situation in Texas.

New York Futures
New Orleans Cnffnn

New Orleans, January 24.-Early ad- vances on political news today carried the price of cotton up 1sc a pound on this market. Trading was active for awhile, but in the afternoon the market became quiet and prices sagged under realizing by early buyers Hhe close was at net gain of % to 27 points
 On the opening brokers had a large volumne of buying orders to fill. the demand being encouraged by uncon- firmed reports of a revolution in Aus tria. Some accounts even went so far an to state that a provisional govern ment had been set up at Vienna. The improvement by the middle of the morn ing amounted to 40 to AS points
 After the first bulge, lack of confirma- tion of the early rumors caused liquda- tion of long cotton. Also there was fear of legislation to control the price of cotton, and it restricted operations on tho long side. In the afternoon the tone was quiet, and prices showed little change after sag of about s1 a bale from the days topmost levels.

'ican raw material has been made, as- sert positively that if men of capital of the United States can be assured by proper legislation that there will be no dumping of German potash salts into this country after the war is ended. because the dumping will be made at a price far too low for the American in- dpstries to match, then there is no doubt that there can be developed in the Tinted States and Canada a potash in- dustry which will furnish all of the commodity that we need for both agri- cultural and chemical purposes and which will be able to sell the potash at a price which will work no hardship on any of those who use 1t.
 Therefore, it seems as though the men of science and of high authority are satisfied that we can make ourselves independent of Germany so far as potash is concerned provided only the indus tr-, is properly but not unduly pro- tected. The best expert authority, hav- ing taken observation of the extraor- dirary and patient research work which has been done by men of science. Is per suaded that the chief future source of cheap potash available in the United States is in the iron and cement in- dustry The experts go so far as to say that with a reasonable investment of money equal to the investment Ger many makes in her potash industry. there could be recovered from American re- sources each year 200.000 tons of potash, every pound of which is now lost be- cause it is not properly recovered.

& points.

H points. Lack of confidence of ru- mors of the morning caused realizing by early buyers and the market fell of about 20 points from the top, holding steady at this level in the early after noon
 The market is as responsive as ever to favorable political news. but Is held down by the legislation before Congress, and the constant fear that in the end price regulation may result in spite of se rious injustice to the grower that would be inflicted. Should the situation in Washington clear, the market would be found in a healthy technical position while the trend of events in Europe is distinctly in favor of entente allies and their associates.
 Today's returns from London placed to- tai losses of English ships of over 1900 tons last week at only six, or the same number as the preceding week. This means better control of the submarine situation than at any time since unre- stricted warfare went Into effect. We believe the market will do better in a moderate way at least on any favorable developments that may come to light, all though naturally the legislative situation suggests certain degree of caution Shepard & Gluck.
