BREAKING EARLY.

There Was Some Southern Selling, But the Market
 Soon Steadied

New York, January 29.-The greater part of a sharp early break was recov- cred in the cotton market today with the close steady at a net loss of to 15 points May sold off to 29.45c during the forenoon and closed at 2s.7Sc, comparing with 2a.S3c at the close of last Saturday
 The market opened steady at a decline of to 10 points and soon weakened under Wall street western and local pressure. There seemed to Sbe increased nervousness over the curtailment of do- nestle mill consumption through the coal shortage, while the early absence of trade buying was noted as bearish point, and there also was continued talk of price fixing. Stop orGers were uncov- cred on the decline and there was south ern selling, but after preak of about N to 42 points from Saturdays closing figures, the market tt rned steadier Buying by brokers with trade connections helped the rally, while there was cover ing and probably some re-huying by sold-out longs who were influenced by the renewal of trade demand and the bullish average of southern spot advices March rallied from 29.9Sc to 302Tc, and July sold up from 29.05o to 9.40c, closing within or points of the best. Peace talk was less in evidence than it had been last week. Early sellers empha- sized the proD2DlIity ol hHiaH domestic consumption figures for January and February, with reports that the fuel ad- ministrator was opposed to working overtime in order to make up for the loss of Monday, a factor sn that connec- tion No change was reported in the ocean freight Uituation, and the weather map failed to show any rain of conse- quence in the southwest.

 Hopes of an increase of arrivals seemed to be generally entertained in the corn trade at the outset Large amounts of corn were said to be in transit from the country and certain to make their ap- pearance as soon as railway impediments had been more fully removed. The fact, however, that receipts still remained comparatively small operated to reduce selling pressure, and made prices respon- sive later to forecast of new storms and another cold wave, Attention was given also to reports that corn was wanted at the seaboard. although traffic difficulties rendered the prospect of im- mediate shipments east a slim one.

This carly selling was accompanied by claims of sriow and rain in Texas which the of fcial reports from the weather bureau did not confirm.

WALL STREET SHOWS RENEWED ENERGY.
Trading Covered Large List of Issues-Steels Were
 Dominant Feature

New York, January 29-Stocks were in demand on the resumption of business today, absence of untoward events over the holiday prompting further short cov- ering. Trading was not especially ac- tive, but broad enough to encompass an unusual array of issues.
 The strength of various industrials and equipments included within the several groups of war and semiwar issues indi- Scated that recent advices from abroad had giver very little impetus to peace possibilities.
 Domestic developments were encourage ing in affording further relief to trans portation conditions and visible reduc- ton of the difficulties resulting from fuel shortage. Proposed amendments to the impending railway bill also received favorable consideration.
 Rails were backward in the forenoon, but later contributed in fair measure to the days total at extreme gains Of l to points, atranscontinentals, grangers and coalers sharing the movement with low grade western and southwestern issues.
 Steels were the dominant feature, Beth 1ehem shal ea rising to points on decla- ration of regular dividends. Part of this grain was relinquished in the profit talk ing of the later hour, a reaction of 1 to IF points ensuing.
