COTTON APPROACHES
YEARS BEST LEVEL.
New'Buying for Long Account
Helps Futures to Reach
Higher Prices.

While fresh buying for long account
holidays. the cotton market showed the
influence of bullish gods trade and
spot market advlces yesterday. Further
realizing OF liquidation for over Christ
reaction. and the best prices of the day
Were reached In the late trading when
March contracts sold at $3.50. or n
points net higher. They closed at 1928,
with the general market closing steady
at a net advance of 16 to 80 points. May
contracts sold at 26.40 on the advance,
or within three points of the seasons
high record. and closed within two
points of the best.
The feature at the opening was the
circulation of January notices represent
ing about 5000 bales. First prices were
to 20 points higher owing to the rela-
lively firm cables. but the notices
caused some liquidation. This had
rather an unsettled effect. but It
was soon found that trade interests,
including one of the houses credited
with rendering the cotton, were buying
the January against sales of March.
This helped the tone of the market. and
prices turned frmer on reports Of a
continued active demand for cotton
goods and of a better export demand
for spot cotton In the South.
There were slight recessions as little
waves of realizing sales reached the
market from time to time during the
day. but they were absorbed In way
which suggested confidence in the ulti-
mate market. and expressions of bullish
opinions were more or less general
around the ring. They appeared to be
based upon the strong statistical posi-
tion combined with expectations OF an
increased trade demand after the first
Of the year. while the scattered reali-
zation was attributed either to de-
sire to secure profits for Christmas or
an apprehension that trade expansion
would be less rapid than anticipated.

INCREASING ACTIVITY
SEEN IN GENERAL TRADE
Optimism, Sharply Contrasts
With Recent Years.

Increased activity in buying is re-
ported In the weekly trade reviews
made public here last night Winter
weather and holiday feeling are given
as tie reasons. Bradstreet's comment
points out that 'over and above all
other features and especially because
OF it's sharp contrast with recently pre-
ceding years at this date. Is the air
of optimism noted in the reports from
the various divisions of trade and in
dustry as results of the last year are
considered and the outlook for the new
year discussed"
Dnn's Repieto states that "one OF the
best features as the year end ap-
proaches is the substantial volume of
forward orders already on the books
Of various producers. The week has
been marked by surprising activity In
certain Ouarters--surprising because the
holiday season normally is one OF wait
ing in basic industries. But there win
not be the usual extended Christmas
shutdowns at manufacturing plants this
year, at least not in some important
instances, and the new year VIII pegin
under promising auspices"

The markets for bonds on the New
York Stock Exchange was without tea'
ture of any kind yesterday and prices
OF all issues were steady. While no
special strength was shown in any group

a. fair display of firmness. The United
States Government list was generally
dull and steady and changes at the close
were confined to a few cents either way
The tax exempt 3 1as were about cents
better around the finish of the day,
while the new Treasury 4As were
cents lower Except for activity in
Brier Hill bonds the industrial division
presented a stagnant appearance. For
eign obligations were mostly neglected.
although the Netherland issues were
somewhat more popular than others.
The so-called speculative rails were as
inactive as the gilt edge rail issues.
The days total turnover was about
S11, 100000.
