 An UncaSville man on Christmas day went to his barn to do the chores. As he entered the stable he heard the cry of Help" coming from a nearby shed.

EARLY DECLINES ARE FOLLOWED BY
 SHARP RALLIES
FIeecy Staple Closed Steady at a Net Decline of Two to Thirteen Points
 on the Day
By Associated Press

New York, January 1s.-An early decline in cotton was followed by sharp rallies on reports of bullish private ginning figures and covering by shorts. After selling up from 17.44c to' 17.s7c, or 23 points net higher, the market became less active and there were reactions from the best under realizing, with March clos ing at 17.77c. The general market closed steady at net advance of 2 to 13 points.
 The market opened steady at an | advance of points on December, but generally to Il points lower, owing to weak Liverpool cables and unfavor- able reports from the cotton goods trade. where buyers were said to be holding off for a possible revision in prices. There was, some scattered southern selling as well as further liquidation, and active months soon showed net losses of Is to 20 points with January selling at 17.50c and May at 17.10c.
 Offerings became lighter as soon as the initial selling orders had been executed, however, and the market 1trmed up during the middle of the morning on the continued better char acter of the spot news from the south. The buying was stimulated later by reports that private ginning returns indicated only 7,904.000 bales ginned up to January IS, or 10000 bales for the last period.
 Brokers who were credited with selling heavily for western and Wall street accounts earlier in the week were active buyers on the midday ad- vance, which carried January up to 17.85c and May to 17.52c, or IS to 24 points net higher. The covering then slackened and later fluctuations were irregular with the close showing reactions of g to 10 points from the best. Both Liverpool and the conti- nent were credited with buying here early. In the case of Liverpool this was supposed to represent a transfer of short hedges from New York to the English market, while the conti- nent was believed to be covering short contracts or buying late month hedges against prospective needs. The ginning privately reported of 10000 bales for the first half of January was compared with 9s,00o, the pre- vious low record for the period ginned from the crop of 1916. Port receipts today 29,035. United States stocks 1,24S,14f. Exports 2S,57S, making 3,21s,s6o so far this season.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON

.
 New Orleans, January 19.-Private bureau forecasts of small ginning started an upward movement in the price of cotton today. causing a rapid and fairly wide advance following a period of shakiness and lower prices in the early trading. From declines below yesterdays close of II to IT points there was rise to advances over yesterdays close of 20 to 2s points, March first falling off to 16.47c and then advancing to 16.90c. The close was at net gains on the session of 12 to IT points. with March at 16.S1c.
 According to reports circulated in this market a southern bureau count ed ginning to January Is at only 79o4,000 bales, which would mean a production for this last period of only about 10000 bales. The effect of these figures was increased by the figures on weights of bales furnished to Con- gross by the census bureau, the aver age weight from the first of the sea son to December 1 being only 496. 8 pounds. shorts started covering on the ginning figures and continued their buying during the morning ses- sion. It was also market gossip that many short hedges were being cov- cred, such hedges being open because of recent sales of spot cotton. In the late trading early buyers took profits and caused moderate recessions from the highest.
 The early decline was partly due to poor cables and partly to the bear ish construction placed on the atti- tude of Premier Poincare regarding the Genoa conference.

Wheat Prices Lifted
 By Estimates Made
 on Domestic Receipts
By Associated Press

Chicago. January 19.-Bullish ssti- mates of domestic farm reserves did a good deal to lift wheat prices today. The market closed strong at 1Nc to 21bc net higher, with May S1,14N to s1.14% and July s1.02% to 31.O2h. Corn gained %c to 5sc and oats Ac to Fac. In provisions the outcome varied from unchanged figures to 200 higher.
 According to recognized authority. reserves of wheat. less spring seed requirements. suggested total of 1lO,0000O0 bushels. Allowing for average bread requirements this would mean a shortage of S0,000, 900 bushels July l except for mill and country elevator stocks.
 Moreover, department of agricul- ture reports current today indicated that European countries might be eX- pected to continue buying wheat In the worlds markets and there were predictions that a new decrease in the United States visible supply would be announced on Monday. Colder weather, too, counted as a stimulat- ing factor, much of the winter crop being without adequate snow protec- tion, and especially in Kansas. Un- uer such circumstances, DO important setback in prices took place, and the finish was at nearly the top level of the day
 Corn and oats went higher with wheat. Exporters continued after corn. As in the case of wheat esti- mate of farm reserves of corn were bullish.
 Scantiness of provision stock tend ed to strengthen the provision market.
