at 500 Is for anything the Lieutenant
requires. including drill, lectures. fur

Cotton closed at a steady declU of T to 27 points. The raMgC:
New Ynrk Cnttn0.

New York, Jan. l5.-Ibc cotton market had 3 quiet opening today but the bearish census figures which, showed only 5l6,5S0 bales consum 3d in December against 536,615 in De- cember last year had little effect OR sentiment and first prices were three to II points higher. 1t was contend ed by the bulls that the small census figures were easily explained by the fuel situation and the difficulties at tending transportation. With spot houses fair buyers and reports of con tinued drought in the southwest March later advanced to 31 50 and May to 31 .22, representing net rise of 2l points. Moderate realizing caused late reactions but the market at the end of the first half hour was still 10 to 12 points net higher. The trade was on active buyer of March.
 Improvement in the stosk market was followed by covering orders in cotton which rallied March from 31 .35 to 3l 53 and May from 31 .00 to 3l. l.l6 towards midday. To continued scatter. ed interests was light owing to added support from Liverpool but outside interests was light owing to poor wire service. The western belt forecast gave no promise of any relief from the dry spell whil2 clearing and much colder weather was expected in the east Midday prices were about lG to IS points net higher.
 A sharp break in the afternoon car ried March down to 31.27 and may to 30.SS or 9 to 10 points under the pre- vous night. The weakness was due to report that the president had been asked to declare Monday an off cial holiday in the Sastern states until the coal problem is solved. On the idea that this would reduce cotton con sumption by about 4OO00 bales month lv there was a good deal of selling by traders for Wall street account.
