New York, February 17-Early irreg- ularity was followed by decidedly firm CT tone in the cotton market today ow- ing to reports of slightly imprcTed trade demand, and the better late ruling of the stock market. May contracts ad- vanced to 34 roc, making net gain of 50 points and a recovery of 320 points from the low level reached on the big break early in the month. That delivery closed at 34 65c, with the general list closing steady at a net advance of to 50 points

Coffee Market
 a.. A~sa>i~k~S .~-~~


 New York, February 1.-The market for coffee futures showed renewed steadiness today, owing to continued covering and scattered trade buying, ac- companied by reports of a slightly i'm proved spot demand, an absence of sell ing pressure from Brazil, and better feeling in Wall street as the result of lower call money rates. The opening was unchanged to ? points higher and active months sold 26 to 32 points above last nights closing figures in the late late trading with May touching 14.57o and September 14.S0c, Closing prices were within a few points of the best showing a net advance of 22 to 30 points. Part of the business consisted of switches from March to later months. March, 14.25o; May, 14.55c; July, 14.78c; September, 14.71c; October, l4.72c; De- cember, 14.75c.

Pri- vate cables reported trade buying of old crops in Liverpool to fix prices for Man chester spinners and continued buying of new crop months. No change of impor- tance was noted in the news from the do- nestle goods trade, but English cable advices reported an active demand, and strong prices for both yarns and gooss. There was some selling believed to be for spot house account during the early trad ing, but no indication of spot pressure otherwise, and the relative strength of March on the setbacks stimulated cover ing by May and July shorts Exposts 4S03 bales, making AIS, 4S0 so far this season.

THE EDAY IN WALL STREET
Big Things Under Discussion Between Federal Reserve Board and Advisory Council-Baldwin Loco
 motive Rallies to 103 7-9

in sentiment. Changes in it's mental attitude are oftentimes Kaleidoscope. Bull turn bears and bears turn bulls with amazing rapidity at times. Ac- customed as the financial community is to such rapid-fire changes in feel ing, the reversal in form tho market for railroad stocks was so sudden and so unexpected yesterday that it fairly took the breath away Up until this afternoon railroad stocks were classed among the ''undesirables" either for investment or speculation. A few houses continued to insist that the rails were good things to buy because they had few friends, but in the man the feeling has been right along that the rails were in too uncertain a posi- tion because of doubt about their fu- ture to be good things to buy Sa the aggressive buying that developed in the rails in the afternoon came out of a clear sky.
 Baldwin Locomotive, which was pounded down to 1031a on the recent setback, rallied to 10S1s yesterday, after selling as low as lo2ss on the early dip. A special reason is being given for fall in the stock during the past week or so. It was reported yes terday that a large block Of BalU- win. some 5000 shares, had been overwhelming the market Part of It had been sold through the exehans' and part had been placed at priVa1e sale This stock was held in the ac- count of large operator, the Street report has it, who had lost heavily in the break in the high-priced motors and was compelled to jettison lot of other stuff he was carrying 10 keep from being swamped.
 Floor traders who had tteir troubles today in trying to keep prices down. sent out word from the exchange long about midday that certain strong interests" who have not favored con structive operations for a month back, have taken an optimistic stand, and are mighty bullish. This countd not be confirmed.
