STEADIER TONE IN
 COTTON MARKET

There was an absence today of the violent fluctuations which have mark ed the cotton market daily for the past week, the market showing a dis tinctly steadier tone. Forecasts of frost tonight in the extreme north western portion of the belt were prob ably responsible for slight advance which was registered At the close this afternoon New York December contracts stood at 22.75 cents. 35 points net higher, while December New Orleans advanced 50 points to PHO cents. Spots in both markets were unchanged at 26 cents in New York and 23 cents in New Orleans.
