 visions We're 5 Off to 25c Off
By Associated Press

Chicagol January 20.-Corn ranged high CT in price today with buying mostly the result of cold weather and falling off in the crop movement There was an unset tied close at gains of i2sm2ssc net. Oats finished Ad1c up. In provisions the out come varied from Dc decline to a rise of 25c.
 Except during a few brief intervals the corrf market showed an upward tendency throughout the day January delivery in particular was strengthened by knowl- edge that arrivals here totaled only 100 cars and that low temperatures were likely to interfere with efficient railroad operation. Besides gossip was current that so much rolling stock was out of re pair that any big increase of terminal supplies of corn need not ebe looked for soon Higher quotations on hogs tended further to lift the corn market Under such circumstances trade broadened out considerably, and the close was in gen. eral at the topmost point of the session.
 Oats were affected by the strength, in corn. Besides Great Britain was said to be asking for offers. the first recent in dieation of export business with that country

LATE TRADING IN
 COTTON WAS STRONG
 0N MAY CONTRACTS
General List Closed Steady, at An Advance of 10 Points on February, But
 Generally Lower
By Associated Press

New York, January 2e.-The cotton market was unsettled by the sharp break reported in Liverpool this morning, but rallied in the late trading with May con tracts selling up from 34. 03c to S4 55c, and closing at 34.47c. The general list closed steady at an advance of 10 points on February but generally 10 to 9 points net lower.
 The market opened barely steady at a decline of Is to 55 points and sold D to 50 points net lower right after the call ow- ing to the weakness sof Liverpool, selling by houses with Liverpool connections and increased selling by the south The lat- ter was supposed to be both in liquida- ton of long contracts and hedging against actual and the early decline was accom- panied by reports of an easier turn in
 the Manchester goods market while pri- vate cables attributed the Liverpool break to liquidation of long accounts, an easier spot basis and increased south ern spot offerings. Trade interests were good buyers on the break to S6.o5c for March and 32. .40c for July, however, and as soon as the more urgent early offer
 ngs had been absorbed the market turned steadier on covering. Business was quiet during the middle of the day and bulges were not fully maintained, but buying be- came more active later with March sell ing at 36 45c and July at 32 .75c, or about 30 to 40 points aboVe the low ieNC or the morning. Last prices were within some Is to g points of the best. There was some nervousness over the possibility of advances in rediscount rates during the earlier trading, but this seemed to be re- lieved by the late advance in the stock market and Washington advices stating that only routine matters had been taken up tathe meeting of the federal reserve l board.

$. R. Stuart X Co.'s Letter

The sensational declines in Liverpool this morning of about 100 American points before our markets opened caused some nervousness, and the opening gave relief to conservatives on this side, as the de- cline only reached an extreme of about Sa points. portion of which was quickly reSovered by profit taking of shorts who had sold on the unfavorable political news coming from abroad.
 The expecta ton of tho reconstruction of foreign credit, export trade and more general spot demand has undoubtedly received check by the latest political deS eSelopment abroad. and the result on our side may be an easier tendency in srcts and increased hedge selling. The spot situation is the keystone to the price arch. However, indications point to con- tinued determination of holders to get a price for their cotton.
 The market closed F to 20 net lower than previous close. It was without spe- cial feature, and the rally in the last 10 minutes of trading was on scalpers cov- ering in narrow market Looks to be a trading proposition.-s. R. Stewart Co,

Thompson. Parker & Co.'S Letter

New Orleans, January 20.--It was
 quiet market in cotton today with the opening at lower levels because of poor cables. and the depression continuing throughout the session because of the lack of any support of special character rather than because of aggressive selling, because after the opening sellers were not aggressive. At the lowest of tn day the trading months were 47 to 54 points under the close of yesterday. RecoveEies carried the market 25 to 30 points up from , the bottom, but the market lacked the strength to go to net advances. The weather map was warm and dry, but the forecast called for rainy weather over the belt. with snow and freezing likely in the northwestern section. which will increase complaints of backward new crop preparations.
 Expectations. however, arc for full ginning returns from the census bureau lFriday, so that the outlook continues for a trading market
 | The market closed to 2 points net lower, with exception of January which l stood , points higher than Monday s close. Shepard & Gluck.

l. w. Jay & Co.'S Letter

New York. January 20.-A downward re- action of 50 points on the opening was due to the disappointing cables from abroad. Advices from Liverpool indicated that Manchester was a free seller in that market, prices soon recovering when trade buying made it's appearance, and
 was confined to the near position. South ern reports denote an increased demand for lower grades on account of scarcity and high premium for the better ones We believe in higher market and favor purchases on the setbacks.ZJ. w. Jay x
