F|RMNESS SHOWN
 IN THE COTTON LIST
 CLOSING HIGHER
General Market in Final Hour Was Firm at Net Advance of Nineteen to Thirty
 eight Points
By Associated Press

New York December 2S.-While the usual holiday atmosphere was re- flected in a very small volume of business in the cotton market here today, prices showed considerable flrmness on the prompt stopping of January notices and covering by shorts in that position. January sold up to IS. soc, or AZ points net higher. and closed at IS 46c, with the general market closing firm at a net advance of 19 to 3S points
 The market opened firm at an ad- vance of 4 to IT points In response to relative ely steady Liverpool cables and favorable reports from the goods trade About 30 notices were issued against January contracts, which were supposed to represent retenders by Japanese interests, but 1t was re- ported that they were being stopped by Gxporting interests, and private advices frem New Orleans said that 60 notices issued there were also be- Ing taken up by cotton shippers. This led to covering by near month shorts ana switching from January to March. There was also switching from March to July, and aside from that there was a scattering demand promoted by reports of steady south ern spot markets and small offer ins from that quarter. March sold up to IS. 40c and May to 17.91c, with active months generally showing net advances of 24 to 42 points in the late trading. The close was only a few points off from the best under realizing. Reports that offerings of so-called Christmas cotton" in the south had been comparatively small and absorbed at well maintained prices, appeared to make a favorable impression on sentiment around the ring and the advancing tendency of prices was accompanied by ex- pressions of optimism as to prospects for business after the turn of the year. Sales of print cloths in the Fall River market for the week were estimated at 100000 pieces, The week end figures made a less bullish than last Friday, as they indicated an increase of 5.962 bales In the worlds visible supply of American cotton for the week, but they had no apparent effect on the market, and the increase for the week over last year was S6,605.

Priuate Wires Report q Waiting Market
 Due to Holiday Spirit
sHANNoN's & CO.'S LETTER

New York, December 23.-(Special9 There is very little to comment about on today's cotton market. What ae- tivity has been in evidence has been due almost entirely to switchlng and evening up.
 The market was almost at a stand still during the middle of the after noon, business gradually giving way to the exchange of holiday greetings and the usual pleasantries.
 One broker, the back of whose neck intercepted a flying envelope filled with water mounted the rostrum and moved that trading be suspended for the balance of the day on account of wet grounds.
 The stock market opened at about last nights figures and with some hesitation and fractional declines, but since noon there has been & distinct improvement. Stocks like Pacific Oil, United Drug and some others making substantial advances. The coppers have all been firm.
 The announcement by MT. Ryan, of the improvement in the demand for copper giving confirmation to recent reports to this effect. has had fa vorable influence on these shares. The rails have been somewhat heavy following the decline in northwest. It is the rail division of the market that the most sales take place for establishing losses. as these stocks afford the most favorable opportunity for doing so. On the whole, consid- ering the recent reaction in the mar ket, today's session has been as sat- isfactory as could be expected.
 Money again was somewhat easier after the renewal rate, which is good sign and helpful to prices.
 The market, while giving evidence of having temporarily overrun itself does not change in the main from the aspect of hopeful expectation that we are in the beginning of con structive era for the country. in which good results must flow.-Post & Flagg.

Birmingham, December 23.-Liver- pool opened quiet and about un- changed from yesterday with light sales at 4,00o. It gained strength be-
 fore the closing for four days. how ever, and their final figures were 30 points above due. There will be no Liverpool market until next Wednes- day Our markets 10 to 15 points above yesterdays final and ruled quiet and narrow during the session, with small spurts occasionally giving the impression that there still re-, mains good undertone. There was no particular cotton news except the 329.000 against 2S7,000. These figures continue bullish, but smaller than a few weeks ago It was reported Czecho- -Slovakia was getting about 500 bales from Columbia S. C.. under a new credit arrangement. The cot ton will be made into cloth. will be sold in London and the proceeds will be used to pay for the cotton in South Carolina Under this arrangement, with interest etc. it is believed that the raw cotton will bring 25' cents per pound. certain amount of con tinental business may be done in some such way where the spinner Is known to be square. It also improves the textile situation. There will be no cotton markets until next Tuesday We expect featureless market until after the turn of the year. Wishing all our readers a merry Christmas and happy New Year.-S. R. Stewart & Go.
