most striking manner in the annual re

the leading financial institutions. A
comparison of the par value and exist

New York. Jan. 3.--Stocks were ac

out the brief session. The pronounced
strength displayed by such standard
shares as Pennsylvania Railroad and
tnited States Steel excrted an invig-
Grating influence and led to wide exten
sions of the buying movement.
There was apparently considerable
rebuying by those who had sold to
establish losses in the income tax state
ments at the close of last year and who
evidently had been holding off in the
hope of getting them back cheaper. The
alacrity with which the leading shares
have been marked up in the last two
days made many less certain of their
position, and there was. in consequence.

the market getting beyond them
This buying with liberal covering of
shorts produced a broad and Il little

same time considerable stimulus was
derived from Yesterdays sharp decline
in the rate for call loans. However,
in all parts of the list the path of least
resistance was couspicuously on the
upward swings.
The demand for the steel shares
especially was in large volume and the
crossing Of los by United States Steel

New Orleans Active Buyer.
Spots Selling There Above
Official Quotations

New York, Jan. 3.-The cotton
market continued strong in tone at the
close with fresh advances following an
increasing demand from wire and com
mission houses and trade sources. The
late buying went largely to May.
The slightly easier ruling of foreign
exchange and unfavorable advices from
the mill section of northern France
failed to make much of an impression
on local sentiment, which had appar-
emily turned strongly bullish on the
boom in stocks, strong spot situation,
and confidence in early action on the
peace treaty.
New Orleans was an active buyer
and reports from there state that spots
were selling cent above official quo
tations.
In the second hour, local prices
showed net gains of from 80 TO 40
points.
