BULLS TAKE REINS
 IN GRAIN MARKET | AND STAPLES 60 UP
Prospect of Stoppage of Eastbound Grain Ship ments Would Soon End
 Was a Big Factor
By Assooiated Press

Chicago, January z3.-Prospects that the stoppage of eastbound grain shipments would soon be ended had bullish effect today on the corn market. Prices closed strong. 1s4c to 21sc net higher, with May $1351klr1. .S59s and July $1.SSdl .331s. Oats gained Ss@1%c. In provisions the finish varied from lie decline to 5c advance.
 Belief that the traffic tie-up east would prove brief dominated the corn market from the beginning. Strength which con- sequently developed was given emphasis by reports that the embargo had already been lifted on all freight except grain and grain products. Absence of any inn mediate Likelihood of increased receipts here tended also to keep the market on the upgrade, especially as a heavy snow storm was in progress and there were forecasts of a cold wave Threatened la bor difficulties failed to act as an offset
 shorts covered freely and last prices were highest of all.
 Confidence that oats would soon be moving freely again to the east made the oats market ascend with corn.
 Sharp breaks in the value of hogs weak ened provisions. but something of a rally ensued owing to upturns in grain.

New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, January 23.-Lower prices in the early trading today in cotton were followed by strong advances. and during the afternoon the market had a good tone. The early decline amounted to 40 to 49 points, and was due partly to heav- fer ginning than expected and partly to pessimistic feeling regarding higher in- terest rates in northern cities. Technical ly the market acted very healthy around the middle of the day, and when shorts tried to realize profits they found little cotton for sale. The demand for long ac- count increased on complaints of exces- sive rains in Texas and on reports that spot shorts in the interior were paying large sums to be released from contracts calling for delivery of high grades
 At the best of the day the trading months were 10 to 24 points higher than the final prices of yesterday. The close was points down to E points up net
 The ginning returns of l0.S22l4S bales to January IS were considered more bear ish than bulish, because they pointed to production this last period of So4ooo balse, against 275,000 the same period last year and 136000 two years ago. The trade generally looked for something un- der 0,300, coo

Thompson, Parker & Co.'s Letter

Depressed in the morning session, cot ton came back strongly this afternoon. recovering early losses and rising to net advances. Early selling was due to larger ginning figures than expected and the rise to 6 per cent of the federal re- serve discount rate in several northern cities Tie decline was checked by the oversod state of the market and fresh buying came in following complaints of excessive rains in Texas and reports that interior spot firms who were short of the higher grades were paying large sums to be released from their contracts
 The early decline carried prices 70 to f9 points under the close of yesterday; the subseauent advance carried them g to z points over.
 The census bureau placed ginning tc January IS at 10,322. 14s bales. against Ill., 04s .s52 to the same date last year, and TO- 570 733 to the same date two years ago. indicating a production for the period of s0s 900 bales. against N5.0Oo the same pe- riod last year and l36,ooo two years ago.
 Technically the market is very sound and we believe that any fresh bullish developments will make for higher prices Shepard & Gluck

MIDDAY RALLY IN COTTON CAUSES A
 SLIGHT ADVANCE
General List Closed Steady at a Net Advance of 3 to 4 Points on Present
 Crop Position
By Asseeiatsd Press

New York, January 25.-The cotton market was weak and unsettled dur ing today's earlier trading, but rallied after midday with March selling up from 35.S5 to 3s.3s and closing at 3s2s The general list closed steady at a net advance of 3 to points on present crop positions, while later months were un- changed to 25 points lower
 The advance in discount rates and final liquidation of January contracts seemed to be unsettling features dur ing the earlier trading.
 There was nothing in the news from Washington to discourage the hope or early action on the peace treaty. which had been the factor on yesterdays late advance, and the Liverpool cables made a firm showing. But after opening steady at an advance of , points on January and 5 to 20 points lower on other positions, prices broke sharply. There was selling of January by houses with Liverpool connections and little scattering liquidation promoted by the circulation of notices estimated at about 2,000 bales. and before trading in that delivery ended at midday the price broke to 37,0O, or no points net lower. Later months sold about 40 to 50 points below last nights closing figures, with July touching 31S2, but after January was out of the way prices rallied on covering and a little trade buying
 There was doubtless a division of opinion as to the effect of higher dis count rates on southern spot holdings, but apprehensions of spot liquidation were less in evidence in the later trad ing, owing to the absence of southern hedge selling on any important scale, and there were rallies of about 45 to 5S tc fha C1OSipo rrireS were shade off from the best under realizing. The census report showing 10-S22.14S bales ginned to January 16 was shade above expectations, but was not considered an important fac tor in the days market.

By Associated Prsss

New York, January S.-Dun's ton,or- row will say
 Elements that have long been consnicu- ous in the business situation are stil, sharply reflected in the persistent strength of many commodity markets as evidenced by the continued preponderance of advances over recessions in a compre- hensive list of wholesale quotations. Con trasting with recent declines in certain foodstuffs, prices of various raw mate rials and manufactured products. notwitb- standing their already abnormal position have risen further. and the competitiye bidding that has developed in some ouar ters may conceivably cause additional in creases. while speculative purchasing in anticipation of even higher levels to fol-
 low has been a factor in the current movement. and although other influences have contributed, yet the main force behind the upward swing of prices as has been the case for many months. is the pressing call for supplies with which to meet actual domestic and foreign re- ouirements. With the renewed demoral- ization in inter7ff cnal exchange result ing in new low records in remittance rates cn leading European countries. the are likely to be accentuated: but Amer ican exports remain heavy in many in- stances and the wants of consumers here are so extensive as to stimulate a demand for goods beyond the Ability of manufacturers to satisfy.

.SPECULATORS ON
 WALL STREET FAIL ID CARRY OUT PLANS
New Discount Rate Set By Federal Reserve Bank Causes Slight Advance
 In Bank Acceptances
By A.sooIa,ed Pros.

New York January 23.-The course of today's stock market upset the call culations of those speculative interests who hoped or feared, according to their commitments, that the higher discount rates would provoke fresh liquidation. Prices were mainly lower at the out set, tending still lower for some of the more mercurial issues later. but in general changes were nominal, with no definite trend at the dull and irregu- lar end
 The new rates of discount of the fed eral reserve bank resulted in a slight advance of private bank acceptances. but otherwise the money market was practically undisturbed. Supplies of call money were abundant at per cent, though rising to 8 per cent in the final hour and time funds eased trifle. albeit again obtainable only in small amounts.
 Two stocks stood out in the day's languid dealings and were typical of the general movement. Crucible Steel registered an extreme advance of Sls points, most of which was held, while General Motors declined 2 points, with very little recovery.
 Other motor issues were irregular or heavy, with numerous specialties, but oils, steels, equipments and shippings helped to sustain the constructive ac- count, while rails occupied their re- cent obscure position.
 Heavy offerings of Liberty bonds and Victory bonds some of which fell to new minimum quotations, were trace able, according to popular belief, to the higher discount imposed by the central bank.
 Other domestic issues were irregu- larg but internationals recovered early losses Total sales (par value) aggre- fated s22,275,000.
 Old U. S. bonds were unchanged on call.
