WEEKLY COTTON REVIEW

New York, January The first week of the new year has been marked by expressions of optimistic opinions and a sharp advance in the cotton market. Doubtless the final wave of old year liquidation which had carried
 the price of March contracts here down to 13.16c and the official quota tion for middling cotton down 10 near ly the 12c level in some of the South- western markets had strengthened the technical position. At any rate there was much less selling pressure when business was resumed after the holi-
 days and buying movement was en- couraged by reports of increasing do
 mestic mill activity. evidences of bet
 ter demand for cotton goods. and an improvement in foreign exchange rates. Before the end of the week contracts for March delivery had advanced to 15.44c or more than 2Ac per pound above the recent low record and the increased activity of commercial houses suggested considerable broadening of general interest. Local brokers thought it probable that the passing or the war finance corporation Dill con- tributed somewhat to the better feel ing around the ring. but this was con sidered less important influence than reports that mills were reopening and of an increased demand for staple cot 
 nounced with the opening O. the new year. The bank troubles reported in Mexico City and London, comoined with the failure of small cotton firm in Liverpool had a somewhat unsettling influence, but Liverpool was an active buyer here. presumably to cover the short end of straddles and reported an improved tone in Manchester, although without any betterment of consequence in actual trade demand. The larger
 spot sales reported in southwestern markets later in the week were fol- lowed by rumors that part of the buy ing was for exporters, but ocean freight men here say that so far therc
 has been little demand for room. Some cotton is arriving here from the south for delivery on January contracts and further notices have been issued It is believed that export firms are talk ing up the cotton and the january premium has increased.

WHEAT TAKES A SETBACK
 ON REPORT OF MUCH
 SURPLUS GRAIN ABROAD
By Associated Press

Chicago, January 7-Wheat under went setback in price today, owing more or less to estimates that the Argentine and Australian portable sur plus would total 61,0O0,000 bushels The market closed unsettled, 1% c to 2Ac net lower, with March at s1.71 4 to $1,72 and May s1.64% to s1.65. Corn lost 1sc to Bc and oats hc to %c.
 In provisions the outcome was 2 gain of 12c to soc.
 Inasmuch as figures heretofore avail able put the Argentine and Australian surplus at only 22S,00O,000 bushels the new estimate gave a decided advantage to the bears in wheat. Moreover. a large part of the short interest had been eliminated during yesterdays sud- den bulge, and there was consequently a notable lack of one of the usual props to values. On the decline. the fact became apparent that considerable new export business had developed Country offerings in the southwest though were reported heavier. and 1t was said that improvement in the flour trade continued to lag. Under such circumstances, the undertone was rather heavy the greater part of the day, despite continued alertness in re- gard to tariff news from Washington,
 Corn and oats sympathized with the wheat setback, but buying of corn for a large elevator interest tended later to check the down turns
 Provisions were depressed at times with grain, but finally became more responsive to higher quotations on hogs

EARLY DECLINES WERE FOLLOWED BY
 ABR|SK ADVANCE
FIeecy Staple Closed Firm, Net Unchanged to Twenty four Points
 Higher
By Associated Press

New York, January 7.-Early declines in the cotton market were followed by advances, with some months making new high ground for the movement. The early break carried March deliveries off to 14.92c, or about half a cent below the high level of yesterday, but that position later sold at 15.44c and closed at 1S,50c, with the general market closing firm, net unchanged to A points higher.
 The market opened at a decline of to 30 points under renewal of the realiz-
 ing which had been in progress at the close of the previous day and southern selling. The latter was supposed to re- fleet the increased spot business reported in the southwest late yesterday, while local traders were evidently disposed to take profits on recent purchases owing to the exten; of the recovery from last weeks low records. The circulation of u few additional January notices brought out some scattering liquidation which sent the price off to 15.S1c. while May declined to 14.S5c, making net losses of about 20 to 30 points on the more active positions Liverpool was a good buyer of January however, while trade or com mission house support seemed to broaden on the decline and the market turned firm during the early afternoon on re- ports that some export inquiry had de yeloped in the south and reiterated re- ports of an improved business in goods January led the adVance, selling up to 37c, or 37 points net higher, and into new high ground for the movement. while May sold at 15.4Oc and July at 555c. Closing prices were several polnts off from the best under realizing. Saies of print cloths at Fall River for the week are estimated in excess of 1Oo,tp pieces. the, largest total for several months Exports today, 25,6S4 bales, making 2,532S7S so far this season.

New Orleans cotton n.. Aaaoninfed Yrnaa

New Orleans, January 7.-friceS
 moved over fairly broad range in
 cotton today, liquidation of long con tracts carrying the market well under the close of yesterday at one aimc, while at the time of the greatest strength prices were well over yester- days finals. The close, however was without any decided trend. being point down to 10 points up. net for the
 day The buying of the session was caused mainly by a better feeling in the spot department, with somewhat better demand reported in several
 southern spot centers. The annouhce- ment from Washington that the war finance corporation was ready to do business caused more or less buying Around the opening prices were lower under realizing by buyers of the earlier sessions of the week, but after the decline amounted to IT to 24 points. and March had fallen off to 14.20c there was sudden strengthen i ing on spot news, and rise started which finally carried March up to 14.63c! and the more active months 21 l to 26 points higher than the quotations of yesterday.
 I Liquidation by realizing longs again set in, being stipulated by the holiday here tomorrow in observance of the Anniversary of the battle of New Or leans, and along with it was fresh short selling on expectations of large ginning returns from the census bus

BRADSTREET'S REVIEW
By Associated Press
Noo, v,,.l' Hssvea'eu 1Ioss

New York. January 7.-Bradstreet's to- morrow will say:
 With inventories. which, because of the drastic price declines of 1920, have re- quired more than ordinary care and thought, out of the way, the trade world has turned 70 the work of getting new busi..ess in more. cheerful tone of m'Ed and with rather better results than might some time ago have been expected. in some cases the increased cheerfulnss manifsted is more a matter of tone than of actually enlarged operations. but in others and, in fact, in a majority of in stances, something like actual progress 1s discrenible, For one thing, wholesale trade in dry goods more especially cot tons. but also in silks and hosiery, has expanded in quite few primary mar kets, the result partly of retailers re- plenishing depleted stocks, partly of rs- cent deep cuts, especially in colored cot tons, having brought out more confident buying. albeit in small lots and for m- mediate delivery and partly because of the growth of the belief that these last cuts have gone the limit and that lower prices are not to be expected

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York. January 7.-(Speciat. )-- Liverpool cables were more encourage ing than for some time past. We hear from various trade sources that the cotton sgoods trade has shown much improvement in the past week or 10 days. Our market reached the high point of yesterday, but failed to ad- vance beyond, for many cautious ob servers are of the opinion that the market has advanced too rapidly in proportion to noticeable improvement in general conditions.
 As we stated before. we cannot hope for rapid advance in prices at a mo- ment's notice, but we can look forward to a gradual return to normal, as things adjust themselves. So we ad- wise that all exercise sane judgment and not, however, jump at conclusions immediately. We feel that cotton bought now on declines will show profit in the future, as undoubtedly trade conditions are improving each day.-Hubbard Bros. & Co.

Coffee Market

New York, January 7.-The market for coffee futures opened at a decline of 1 to points under some scattering March liquidation. Owing to the holiday there were no official cables from Brazil to influence sentiment there, but the open ing decline brought in little covering and the market later rallied on reports that Santos offers were firmer. Reports of continued steadness in. stocks and cotton were contributing factors, but af- ter selling up from CPS to 6.45c, March closed at 6.39c, with last prices showing net gains of only to ' points. Closing bids: January, 5.S9c March. 6,39c; May, 6.79c; July, 7.15c; September, I47c; Oc- tober, 7.5Sc; December. 7.79c.
 Spot coffee steady; Rio Is, 614M6a; San tos As, Sa4m91ac. Cost and freight offers were unchanged to higher, including Santos Is at to Sasc, and Rio Is at to 62Oc, American credits. Sales of highly desired Santos grinders Ss minus 15 points were reported at SEC, American credits

Steady Inquiry for United States Steel at Net Gain of One and One Quarter
 Points
By Associated Press

New York, January 7.-The stock mar ket today made numerous material addi- tions to gains of the previous session, but the greater part of the activity and strength reposed in issues of specula- tive character, seasoned shares scoring comparatively small advances
 Sentiment among traders and the pro- fessional element continued to be influ- enced in large by the transition now under way in commerce and industry. Lower commodity prices, it was argued. however are being neutralized by the re- duction of buying power due to an in- crease of unemployment
 Transactions in stocks were the largest of any day of the new year, but almost one-third of the turnover concentrated in steels and equipments, motors, oils, textiles and feathers.
 There was steady inquiry for United States Steel at net gain of 1h points although forecasts of the corporations $ December untitled tonnage, to be issued next Monday, indicate another severe .s;;iisrisiAage Of bookings.
 Final prices showed gains of l to D points for Crucible and Vanadium Steels, Baldwin Locomotive, Mexican Petroleum, American Woolen, American lnterna- tional and International Paper, rails making only trivial changes either way. United States Rubber, Royal Dutch ana General Asphalt recovered nominal losses.
 Although interior banks supplemented the local supply of funds, call and tune money rates were unaltered. Further confusion was manifested by the foreign exchange market. sterling rates rallylns only slightly from yesterdays reaction with the Paris rate, while ltallan anu Spanish remittances eased.
 Liberty bonds were again the consplc- uous features of the bond market, that entire group, excepting the first, second 4hs rising appreciably. Convertible rahs and foreign issues also were strong.
