crease in number to the extent of
$4,000 head, totailing '1,353,0a0 head

New York. February 2.-(Special)-- A new well with an initial flow of soooo barrels a day. has been brought in by the Texas Company on it's property in the west Columbia Pool south Texas. Operators in that dis trict believe that it marks the opening of an important new pool, as it is on the extreme eastern part of the oil field.
 The well, Texas advices state, was permitted to flow at the rate of sooOo barrels for a few hours. and was then throttled down to flow of 5000 barrels day. The new well is said to offset the well of the Hum- ble oil and Refining Company. Standard Oil subsidiary. with an ini- tial production of 1500O barrels.
 Reports that the American Ship and Commerce Corporation, organized last July to take over control of the Will Aliam Cramp & Sons ship and Engine Company, is dickering with the Brazilian government for the acquisi ton of twenty eight German vessels seized during the war, have been without effect on the stock which holds around 24, the low price for the year. After the organization of the company the stock sold as high as 47lk, nearly double it's present mar ket valuation. The stock is of no par value. The negotiatiosn for the purchase of the German ships are being conducted by the company's representatives at Rio Janeiro.

EARLY REACTIONS IN COTTON FOLLOWED BY
 COVERING ADVANCE
The General List Closed Barely
 Steady at Net Advance of 62 Points on February
By Associated Press

New York, February 2.-Early reactions were followed by an advance in the cot ton market today on covering and trede buying. May contracts sold up from s. .7sc to 34 2sc and closed at s4.14c, with the general list closing barely steady at a net advance of @ points on February and of 10 to 5 points on the later months
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of 5 to 40 points on covering by some of Saturdays sellers, who were probably influenced by a more hopeful view of peace treaty prospects and the opening steadiness of the stock market. The continued weakness Of foreign ex- change was an unsettling feature, which led to increased talk of restricted exports, however. and the market soon turned ca sier under renewal of scattering liquidation, local and Wall. street press ure.
 The decline was accompanied by rimors of an easier spot basis on low grades in the south For time the market was active and feverish, with March selling off to .7Sc and July to a.65c, or about 20 to "A points net lower on old crop months, while October sold at @Zc, or 10 points net lower. There was some trade buying on this decline, with Liv- eTpOOl SOSu Duy Cl VI CSecSNA, anu early selling orders had been absorbed the market turned steadier, owing to the absence of selling pressure from the south to confirm the reports of an easier basis. March sold up to 3s.17c and July to 2.o4c, making net advances of 1T to 2 points on the old crop, while October advanced to 2e6sc, or 2s points net higher. The close was a few points off from the best under realizing. Trading was compara- lively quiet after the first half hour, but southeastern mill interests will be credited with buying new crop months, and there was some southwestern buy ing presumably to cover hedges.
