New Orleans, January 13.-The cotton market went through the performance that has been frequently seen or late of advancing in the early trading and then sagging to net declines and reaching the lowest levels toward the close. In the early trading prices gained 15 to 23 points from which they dropped down to net declines of 8 to 20 points. finally closing at net losses of to IS points. March, at it's lowest traded at z. .4oc.
 The rise in the early trading was diie 10 the strength of Liverpool, but liquidtticn came from the long side as the marhst hardened and more or less short selling came upon the market as the session progressed, being induced by tn lack or spo. demand and at one time reports of a general strike at Berlin. There were many bullisn messages from mill ano cotton goods centers on both sides of the Atlantic but they aroused little buying.
 Spot prices were reduced 50 points, which carried middling of to 40.50c. There was some talk ot better demand for the lower grades at few interior points pl' no special demand developed in this mar ket.

$. R. Stewart & Co.'S etter

New Orleans, January 13,-The Liv- erpool market around our opening time was as much as 65 American points up with spots there 2S English points higher and at the opening here there was no response to the Liverpool ad : vance. The parity in futures between our markets Is being widened and the action of the English, market is pug zling to the trade here. The demand for spot cotton there Is not shown in the purchases. as only 1000 bales were bought. The advance was probably in anticipation of weakening sterling rates or because of the threat tened strike abroad by which importations would be curtailed
 Spot people report a quiet demand and middling here is off points al 40.50c. with sales of 1895 bales. The interior spot markets are quiet and steady with small business done a : practically unchanged prices.
 After ranging within a limit of 90 to 45 points the market closed steady net IS to points lower on a scale from March to October
 The South holds steady on the actual but as the old crop is slowly coming under the shadow of the new crop traders hesitate to make ne wcommit- ments at present levels, and as there is no aggressiveness either way, jus now,4 we will probably have a scalpine market for a while.-John F..

By Associated Pros,

Chicago, January 1S.-Much weakness
 developed in the corn market today as a result of enlarged receipts and also of
 renewed attention to National Wheat Di-
 rector Barnes warning against price haz-
 ards. The close was nervous at 17s to 23s cents net lower, with May $l32lsM
 1.S2ss and July $l30ssu1. .3o7s. Oats lost lssn 1A lo cents. In provisions the outcome varied from 30 cents decline to p cents advance.
 Announcement that arrivals of corn in Chicago today totalled 30 carloads swung the balance of power to the bear side in the corn market shortly after the opening. Such a comparatively big number of cars tended to upset bullsh theories that shortage of rolling stock would prevent any important hastening Of the crop movement. Subsequently,, sharp setbacks in quotations on cash wheat becamS the
 dominating factor in the corn market Discouraged holders unloaded and bears grew more and more aggressive. Far mora notice was taken of Mir. Barnes admonition than was yesterday the case Oats, like corn, were weakened by lqui- datior. Business with the seaboard was restricted owing to car scarcity. Provisions for the most part reflected the weakness Of grain despite higher uuo- tations on hogs ard notwithstanding huge 1 shipments of packing house products 'n l the last two days.

New Orleans. January lS.-After a period of strength on the opening to-
 day the cotton market turned dull and heavy and sagged off to net de- clines The only excuse for the initial bulge was the good trade reports and further gains in Egyptian. The selling
 that came later appeared to be. for the
 most part, liquidation from the long
 side. Some selling for hsort account
 followed rumors of general strike at
 Berlin. From a net advance of Is to
 2S points the market fell off to net
 declines of to 20 points, lowest levels coming late in the day.
 Cablegrams from Liverpool quoted
 Tattersa1l, the English authority, as predicting greater profits for the mills this year than were realized last year and as stating that purchases from for eign markets exceeded the imports of finished cotton goods and that mills were so oversold that overproduction appeared to be thing of the distant future

New York. January 13-The stock market was dull and decidedly heavy during the greater part of todays profess sional dealings, but made rapid and gen. eral improvement on an extensive cover ing movement in the final hour.
 Rallies of 2 to almost 10 points from minimum quotations of the forenoon were led by oils and steels in the face of a 15 per cent ratenfor call money. all though this rate was Considerably shaded at the close.
 Bear pressure was responsible for the more extreme reactions of the morning, when such volatile issues as General Mo- tors and CrucibIe Steel were singled out al reactions of 6 to 8 points.
 While the market was in process of moderate liquidation it was rumored that local banks might have to call loans in order to meet prospective government demands and repair last weeks deficit in clearing house reserves.

Liverpool surprised the trade this morning by coming in soma 50 odd points better than due, but our market showed a very poor response to such 8 Liverpool. Our market al no time dur ing the session was what we would call very strong affair. however, Y proved a rather listless affair and March closing about 20 points lower than the previous close. New Orleans spots were marked 50 points down to-

New York. January 1s.-Tradipg was light during most of the day. but be- came rather more active in the last hour when prices were under pressure from selling. sttrjbuted to houses with west ern connections and to uptown interests who are reported to be bearish on con ditions generally Prices yielded to some extent. but cotton was wanted at the de- cline, and the tone, while nervous and unsettled, could hardly be called weak, though support was by no means viz orous.
 A certain element in the trading com munity is firmly convinced that money will remain tight and bring on forced liquidation of spot holdings, so that sales on strong spots to discount are advisable. We do not share that view, but while he short position, based on that theory, is being built up to satisfactory propor- tions would buy sparingly and only after good reactions and wait for the covering movement, winch we arc confident will come in due course.-Post & Flagg.
