STAPLE NOT 1
 ABLE ID HOLD RISE.
General List Closed Steady at a Net Decline of Is to 65 Points Under
 Wednesday

New January 2-An early advance in the cotton market was followed by sharp reactions today with March selling off from 2S.4oc to 27.sOc and closing at A9Sc compared with 2s.25c at the close of Tues day. The general list closed steady at net decline of IS to 65 points with the late months relatively easy.
 The market opened firm at an advance of 10 to 42 points on buying orders which had been attracted by the large exports of Tuesday and expectations that the turn of the year would bring in an increased demand from the trade At soc for Jan uary and 27.50c for May there was good deal of realizing, however, and the market soon turned easier.
 For time offerings were well absorbed by covering and some scattered trade buying, but the latter did not develop to expected proportions, and after moder- ate rally on the large exports around midday, the market weakened again dur ing the early afternoon. A few stop orders were uncovered on the decline which ex- tended to 29 05c for January and 2657c for May or 53 to 65 points net lower and later fluctuations were irregular.
 The heavy rains reported in the south were accompanied by reports that nn- picked cotton was being ruined and that the movement was being slowed up, but in some quarters the weather was viewed as a bearish factor from the coming crop standpoint.
 No change was reported in the news from the goods trade and local spot brokers said that while cotton was of- fering in the interior. holders were de- manding a very high basis few Jan uary notices were reported in circularon early, but evidently were stopped as that delivery was relatively firm during the day.

COLD WAVE CAUSES
 HEAVY CORN SELLING
Staple Closed Unsettled, While Oats Were About on a Balance-PrOviSiOnS
 Up and Down

Chicago, January 2.-Aggressive sell ing of corn resulted today from the prevailing cold wave which seemed likely to stimulate the movement of the crop. Prices closed unsettled l. to 1A net lower. with January 1.41 h and May 1.35as to 1.351s. Oats finished 3s off to IS advance and provisions varying from soc decline to 12c ad- vance.
 With temperatures below the zero mark in many sections favorable, set tlen'ent as to corn was bearish. Trad CTS were nearly unanimous in lookins 3 for enlarged receipts as a consequence of the improved conditions for shelling and hauling. Most of the selling pres sure. however. was on the nearby de- liveries. The fact that all quantity restrictions on dealings had been can celled gave the market more breadth at times than has been the rule of late.
 Improved shipping demand from the east and south lifted January oats. Denial of the Attorney Generals an- Nnouncement as to price fixing would affect the government minimum for hogs led to considerable buying of provisions.

TRACTION SITUATION
 ] JO[TS WALL STREET
New Years Buying Side tracked and Traders EX- tended Their Short
 Commitments

New York, January 2.-The crisis in the local traction situation as indicated by the projection of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit company into federal receiver ship, served in a measure to impair con- fidence on the stock exchange today
 Instead of the New Year buying, which was expected as a logical sequel to the recent heavy selling for adjustment of 1918 income tax accounts, traders ex- tended their short commitments, but cov- cred urgently in the later dealings, when spectacular rise in oils imparted ac- tivity to the general list and effaced many losses.
 The advance in oils was featured by Mexican petroleum which made net gain slightly in excess of 10 points after showing an early loss of almost 4, while Texas company reversed it's setback Of the morning with a gain of points, pan-American common and preferred and Royal Dutch also displaying marked strength.
 Rails, coppers and numerous special ties were lifted by the sudden change Of the last hour, Texas Pacific denoting confident accumulation at an advance of points; American Smelling made more than full recovery and many other
  ; including United States steel.
 Brooklyn Transit fell 6ss at it's worst to 2Oss, within 21a points of the lowest record in the roads history of P years; the per cent notes, which prec1pitated the bankruptcy, broke 51a points and oth- CT local utilities 1 to 3 points, rallying slightly later.
 Motors, shippings, equipments and dis tlling issues responded variably to the penera1 irnnroyement the market finish ing with a strong undertone.
 Bonds as whole were unsettled py the break in fractions, but Liberty issues were steady and internationals, nceeo eoy Anglo-French 5s stiffened. Total sales (par value) aggregated $l0,25O,00O. Old United States bonds were unchanged on call.
 Final prices on Liberty Bonds today were 31zs 9974; first convertible As, 9Sos; second 4s 9290 first convertible 4As. sS.50; second convertible 44s, 94.sS; third As, 96.32; fourth 4As, S.4o.

Over Stewards Wire

New Orleans, January 2.-Holiday in Liverpool General news over New Year was at the selection of both factions in the market, but as patience of wait ing for the good things promised has be- come somewhat tired, the bearish news found more favorable and the market, after an opening 10 to 20 points higher acted reactionary., This bearish wave of sentiment is probably only temporary, as the inspiring effect of large de- mand and good exports, which are prob able during the next few months should change sentiment again towards enter prising support. No matter what the outlook may be for the distant future, the facts of short supply, large urgent needs of cotton for this season, cannot be changed, and the full expression of the bullish situation in prices depends only on the complete understanding and realization by spot holders. A large short interest is being carried over from war times as bullish factor.
 The Manchester Guardian makes un- faNy-able comment on diverting opinions between the French premier and Presi- dent Wilson.
 Nobody in Washington looks for a large scale of unemployed. Foreign demand for goods will be great and the belief is general that the United States will finance trade during the transition pe- riod in about the same manner as was followed in financing the allies during the war. In this way, it is believed that business will develop and private bank ing credits improve.
 Predictions of a bad spell of weather for the belt fully materialized and the outlook is for freezing on our coast
 The market, as anticipated. weakened sharply under bear selling, but presented A firmer tone around 261sc for May. Present prices appear safe on the condi- tions for this season. and buying on de- pressions seems preferable.
