New Orleans Cotton By Associated Press

New Orleans, February 13,-Advances that approached the spectacular occurred in the price of cotton today, heavy buy ing appearing soon after the opening and continuing for some time.
 Much of the demand was for short ac- count, over-confdent shorts becoming very nervous after having digested the optimistic statement from Secretary Houston regarding financial problems generally. At the highest of the day the trading months were S9 to ills points over yesterdays final prices. Toward the end of the session early buyers turned sellers to realize profits. and the gains
 were pared down somewhat last prices being at net advances of 66 to 101 points.
 Something of better demand for spots was reported al few interior joints, and the spots here were marked up 50 points to 39c for mddling, which compared with 36. .96c as the closing price on Marcn.
 Around the opening prices were to l2 points higher in response to a higher Liv erpool than expected, but after first buying orders were filled the market turned into a quiet and sagging affair, falling to a level to 21 points under the close of yesterday On this soft spot the real trading movement of the day com menced,. and for while it was an active and excited market. UnfavoraDle wealth CT over the whole belt and the rise in sterling contributed to it's strength.

Coffee Market Rx Assaoiafnd Prnss

New York, February 13.-An early decline in the market for coffee flu lures was followed by sharp rallies which seemed the result of covering owing to the better tone of the stock market and the steadier ruling of for eign exchange. The market opened at a decline of IA to 2S points and sold 26 to B points lower during the early trading with May touching 1378c. The somewhat easier ruling of the early ca- ble from Rio may have promoted the selling movement, but covering started as soon as the stock market turned firmer and became more active on re- ports of an easier call money situation. May sold up to 14.08c, or 4 points net higher, and cluosed at 14.07c, with the general list closing at net advance of 1 to 3 points. March, 13 71c; May, 1407c; July, 14.30c; September, October and December, 14.20c.
 Spot coffee. dull and norninally un- changed at 14c for Rio Is, and 24c for Santos As. No fresh cost and freight offerings were reported beyond a small lot of Santos As at 22c American cred l. it's. A cable has been received here stat ing that recent offerings of government coffees reported at 21.50c were not of fered by the government.
 The official cable showed a decline of 25 reis in the Rio market and of hd in the rate of Rio exchange on London. The Santos spot market was unchanged with futures 75 to 200 reis higher. Brazilian port receipts 16000; Judiahy receipts, 1000; Rio cleared 19.000 for New York; Victoria 5000 for New Orleans, and Santos 26,000 for New York.

EASING OF ADVANCE LOANS CAUSED A
 SITTER MARKET
Shorts In General Motors and Crucible Steel Re ceive Bad Punishment
 on Wall Street
By Associated Press

New York, February 13.-Stocks were
 subjected to additional price impairment
 in the first half of today's very unsettled
 dealings but rallied spiritedly later when
 demand loans eased to per cent and
 foreign exchange displayed increased f1rmness.
 It was generally assumed that the fur
 ther break of the morning resulted pri-
 marily from selling orders received in
 large volume from out-of-town over the
 holiday.
 Offerings of this character were more obvious than at any recent period and proceeded from greater apprehension re specting the attitude of the railway broth- erhoods.
 The rally was led by and assumed most substantial proportions in oils and ship pings where extreme gains of to 10 points were scored. Steels, equipments and motors also made up the greater part if not all of their losses, the extent Of their rebound ranging from to lz points.
 These quotations were recorded in the final hour, rumors then circulated on tne stock exchange taking the form of 8 temporary settlement of differences De- tw cen the railway workers and the gov efnment.
 Aside from this superficial factor, how ever, there were indications when prices were receiving of support of substan- tial character. This manifested ltseit particularly in rails and seasoned indus z trials. those issues reflecting an oversold Aeondition.
 \ Shorts were badly punished in Gen K eral Motors and Cruicible Steel, the for E mer regaining it's s1s point loss, and an additional S1s points, while Crucipie re- trieyed all of it's 11-point decline E Interborough Rapid Transit 0s were tne ne feat,rree of the bond market, rising Az po1nts.

OLD CROP MONTHS
 ADVANCED NEAR S6 DOLLARS PER BALE
General List Closed Firm at a Net Advance of 95 to 40 Points Over the Finals
 of Thursday
By Associated Press

New York. February 1S.-There was very sharp advance in the cotton mar ket with old crop months selling about $ per bale above the closing figures of Wednesday. May contracts sold at Ss. TIC. or 14O points, and closed at ss.s5c. with the general list closing firm at net ad- vance of s5 to 14O points
 The market opened firm at an advancs of 3S to 4s points owing to the firm showing of both Liverpool and New Or leans over the local holiday. This initial advance met a good deal of realizing. and a renewal of local and Wall street selling, but the offerings were absorbed on reactions of 20 to 30 points, with L!v- efpool particularly heavy buyer There was also some buying by domestic trade interests and the market later became sensationally active and strong on cov- reing by Wall street shorts owing to the improvement in the stock market and easier call money rates. The activity of this demand evidently alarmed other shorts and the buying movement became more general on the advance to 36. 10c for March and 31. 72c for July or about 133 to IA points above Wednesdays final figures New crop months were relative ly quiet. but sold 107 to Ill points net higher. being influenced by the near fmonth strength and reports of rain, caus- ing a. further delay to farm work in the western belt. The volume of business tapered off during the last hour, and there was considerable realizing. but last prices were within few points of the best.
 The firmer ruling of sterling exchange VI as a factor on the advance. and private cables said the strength in Liverpool was due largely to the demand from Man chester. The Liverpool buying here was again attributed to the covering of strad- dle shorts. while local brokers said the bulk of the demand on the afternoon ad- vance came from Wall street shorts Port receipts, 59,020.

New York. February 1S.-(Spe- ciaL)-Mercantile affairs develop ments in connection with the fin ancial affairs of the international Mercantile Marine Company are reported to be favorable from the view point of the market position of both classes of stock Marine common and preferred came back strongly today, the preferred shoot ing up 51s and the common 3Z points. The action of these issues indicated that they had been rather heavily oversold and the recovery was something of natural re- eovery."
 Before the market rallied today Republic steel common broke under par for the first time in months. on the lip it touched sSX, then re- bounded to above 104, showing at the close net gain of Sss points. The report of the Republic Iron & Steel Company for the final quarter of 1919 and for the full years op- erations is expected to be issued to the stockholders next week. It was EcpOEleu III the financial dis trict today that it will show that the six per cent dividend on the $27, ,1S1, 900 common stock out standing was not earned Accord ing to the report for the first nine months of 1919 the company was showing steady improvement in earnings from the slump that fol- lowed the armistics but the steel and coal strikes are understood to have seriously affected operations in the final three months. The re- port for the nine months ended September 30, showed a balance earned on the common stock equal to 5.60 per cent or within a frac- tion of the dividend requirements for the full year.
 At the end of the period the com pany had on hand thrilled orders for 434,495 tons.

a considerable volume of foreign selling for several weeks. House with London and Amsterdam com nections are understood to have handled a good deal of business of this sort and it is still coming through From Amsterdam Ameri- can railroad securities have been coming for duties and German ae- count, Disregarding conditions here it is greatly to the advantage of foreign, holders to sell in this market by reason of the abnormal situation. It works out something like this in an extreme case: German who purchased 100 shares of U. S. Steel preferred before the Kaiser went war mad at $1O0 a share paid for that stock $1O,0Q0 or in German currency 4S,400 marks. Today, provided he still owns the stock, he is in position to sell it back for 1.72S,000 marks on the present basis of exchange, an increase of 2,2o0 per cent in the number of marks received over the amount paid The only matter that concerns the German in this case is whether the 1,72S,000 marks

 Cleans of hope shone through the barrage of gloom in Wall street today Even before the midday recovery set in a more cheerful feeling was discernible. Not that the financial district looked for any resumption of bull operations. On the contrary the opinion was still wildly held that the decline will go further, before we have seen an end of it. But most ob- servers seemed to think the worst over for the time being and that sharp recovery was which re- suited in vigorous snap backs in most industrials would carry ahead. Indicative of this the professional pressure against the market was not nearly so pro- nounced Moreover members of the bear clique were reported to have covered their shorts and to have taken up position on the long side for the moment.
