PUBLIC INTEREST IS TAKEN IN STOCK LIST Outlook Is Better in Trade and Industrial Conditions
 and Shorts Covered
By Associated Press

New York February 17.-Revival of public interest, albeit in moderate de- gree, was a factor of considerable im- portance in todays strong and broad market, the movement assuming al- most the largest dimensions of any session so far this year.
 Better trade and industrial condi- tions as outlined in the various re- views as outlined over the weekend imparted a feeling of confidence and im- pelled further extensive covering of short contracts. Trading was again completely overshadowed by the heavy turnover in oils, motors, equipments and tobaccos, the first named far out stripping all other issues in point of volume but reacting very generally in the latter dealings.
 General Motors featured the auto mobile division at an extreme gain of points, Chandler, Studebaker, Pierce-Arrow and Kelly Springfield Tire also contributing to the strength of that group. Pools were active in Sumatra Tobacco, Tobacco Products, Central Leather, American and Bald win Locomotives, the more popular in- dependent steels and United States Steel, the latter rising to 93, it's maxi mum since the reduction of the com mon "extra" dividend.
 American Smelling and National Lead ran counter to the general run of metal shares which became irregular on re- ports of new financing by Kennecott Copper and Distilling and food shares also improved.
 Rails were slow to move, but rose sharply on a demand for Pacifics, coal CTS and several of the eastern trunk roads. Gas and traction issues scored moderate gains. The bond market was irregular and dull, Liberty and foreign issues holding steady. Total sales, (par value). aggregated $9,770,000. Old United States bonds were unchanged on call.
 Final prices on Liberty Bonds to- day were 315s, 9S.9o; first convertible As, BASS; second As, 92.54; first con- vertible 4As, 94.S4; second convertible 4As, 93.s4; third 4As, 95.14; fourth 4As, 93.S4.

New York Futures
New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans. February T-Higher prices ruled in cotton today as the resdlt of better feeling generally. due main- ly to the revisions here which served to make more of a market feature out of the movement to reduce acreage. Shorts were uneasy and inclined to cover and they, as we'll as other buyers, found only limited supply of contracts to trade on. Highest levels were reached late in the session when the active months were 64 to SS points up; the close was 50 to 7S up.
 Unconfirmed reports that the embargo on cotton, in all directions, would short ly be lifted. stimulated buying in the morning session. as did the large export movement for the day. Total shipments were nearly 34,000 bales as against only GOOD this day last year.
 Too much rain fell in Texas over Sun day, and telegrams stated that blowing would be delayed for considerable time in consequence.
 Messages stated that the soil was soaked in some counties as the result of hours of rain. More interest generally was taken in features connected with the new crop. az s.-..,.

HO[DERSO OF CORN
 TAKING PROFITS Rumor Says There Is Pos sibility of Removing Canadian Import
 Duty on Oats
By Associated Press

Chicago, February I.-Corn averaged higher today, but profit taking by hold CTS made the market react Talk of possible removal of the Canadian rapport duty on oats was the chief bullish in fiuence.
 Corn closed weak, 1A net lower to 1c advance with May s122s4Q1.23, and July s1 .1S5s61. LISA.
 Oats finished $ to IF down and pro- visions off 27c to s1.
 Advances in corn were closely asso- ciated with reports about shortage of seed oats in Canada. It was said large supply would have to be obtained in the United States and that the need was so acute the Canadian government would remit the duty on such shipments.
 In this connection gossip was current ttat communicating was in progress at Calgary. Bullish sentiment was further emphasized by scantiness of arrivals at domestic primary centers and by lack of rural offerings However, on the sharp upturns that ensued eastern interests were free sellers and there was constant rapid decline.
 Oats simply duplicated the changes in corn.
 Provisions had no aggressive support.

COTTON CONTINUES UPWARD MOVEMENT
General List Closed Strong at a Net Advance of 42
 to 75 Points
By Associated Press

New York, February 17.-There was further advance in the cotton market to- day with May contracts selling up from 21 91c to 22.Ssc, or B points above the close of Saturday. That delivery closed at 22.69c with the general market closing strong at net advance of 42 to 75 points. The market opened firm at an advance of to 4S points on renewal of the buying movement which had been in progress on Saturday. Liverpool did not fully meet the local gains of late last week, but houses with English connec- tfons were good buyers of old crop months here and there was buying of later months believed to be for other foreign accounts. This demand combined with active support from Wall street sources sent the market about 50 to 40 points net higher during the first hour. Around the 221sc level for May offerings increased but there was very little pressure from southern sources and as soon as scat tered realizing sales had been absorbed or a reaction of about 50 to 60 points the market turned firmer again on contin- ued trade buying and renewal of local support. March sold up from 22.S7c to S.S5c, July from 21 .3Sc to 9. 46c and Oc- toher from 2o.o2c to 2oSsc during the after noon. The close was several points off from the best under realizing.
 good part of the buying was attrib uted to covering of shorts but the talk reflected a more bullish average of sen- tinent owing to reports of better spot demand and rather a more optimistic view of general trade conditions. Pri- vate advices were received confirming re- cent reports that the French government would permit private firms to import cot tor to the extent of 100000 bales per n th five p1nnthS he0inDnp Nav
 Rumors that export embargoes on cot ton would soon be removed were circu- lating during the day and may have contributed to the advance which was also encouraged by the firmer tone of the stock market
