FLUCTUATIONS IN
COTTON VIOLENT.
BUT CLOSE Strong
General List Closed Barely
Steady. at a Net Advance
of 30 to so Points Over
Previous Day
BY Associated Press


New York, November 2o.-There were
very violent fluctuations in the cotton
market again today. Sentiment was evil
IDENTIFY unsettled by the Senates action on
the peace treaty and the early break in
foreign exchange, but after selling at
80. zoe for January or 66 points net lower,
the market rallied very sharply on COW
ering and renewal of bull support jan
uary sold up to IS .07c and closed at
"a S5c, with the general list closing barely
steady at a net advance of so to so
points
There was heavy general selling at the
start, THIRST prices easy at a decline
of 10 to g. points. December soon broke
to IS Soc and March to 81 CSC, with active
months generally selling about IS to Sc
points below last nights closing figures
Liverpool was an active buyer at the de-
cline, presumably to take profits on the
short end of straddles at the wider diff
ferences, however, and the marekt turned
firmer during the middle of the day on
rumors that there would be conference
over the question of Europe's credits,
a recovery in sterling exchange rates
and the development of better tone in
the stock market, accompanied by rumors
that the coal mine controversy had been
settled. Covering was extremely active
for a time, with December selling up
to 36.70c and March to SO 33c. or SIS to
81 points above last nights closing fig
ures. Realizing developed a this level and
last prices showed reactions of some IS
to IS points on reports that conference
over European credits was unlikely and
a diminishing demand after the more ur-
gent buying had been supplied on the
advance.

WEAK BEGINNING IN.
THE CORN MARKET.
DID NOT HOLD LONG.
Oats and Corn Strengthen,
While Provisions Were
Unchanged to soc
Up on the Day

Chicago. November 20.-Strength devel-
oped id the corn market today despite a
weak beginning. Fluctuations were gov
erned chiefly by the action of the New
York stock market and by developments
regarding sterling exchange. The close
was firm at Is to NC net higher, with
December s1S$i4 G1.3Sss and May s1.259sa
/ 25ss. Oats finished unchanged to &c
higher and provisions unchanged to 50
cents up.
Although circumstances at first gave
an advantage to bears in the corn mar
ket, no great pressure to sell was APP
parent.
only moderate declines resulted from
the new low record of British exchange
rates and from downturns of stocks. hogs
and cotton. Large receipts of corn here
failed also to exert more than mild
be arish influence. 1t soon became evident
that with pronounced rallies in the stock
market and in sterling the price of corn
would also ascend. 1t was not, how
ever until the last half hour that de-
cided gains were scored with the help OF
advices that American mixed corn was
selling in Great Britain at about s1-&
bushel
oats merely paralelled the changes in
the corn market.
Provisions. like cereals, were weak
early and then rallied.
Increased setbacks in the hog values
at the last received but little notice.
