LOWEST LEVEL IN .FLEECY STAPLE WAS
 IN LATE TRADING
General List Closed Easy at a Net Decline of Twenty two to Forty-four Points
 on the Day
By AssocIated Press

New York, January 25.-The cottor market was very unsettled today, but early afternoon rallies on covering met increased offerings and the low est levels were reached In the late trading. March rallied from 17.16c to 17.39 and broke to 7.05c, closing at that price, compared with 1T.44c at the close of the previous day. The general market closed easy at net decline of g to A points.
 The opening was easy at decline of Is to 37 points owing to lower Liv- erpool cables, unfavorable Lancashire trade advices, reports that some southern mills were talking the pos sibility Of curtailment and appre hension of labor troubles over wage disputes in New England.
 There were slight rallies right after the call but shey were checked by the final liquidation of January con tracts, which sent the price of that delivery down to 16.9Sc during the middle of the morning. or 47 points net lower. Notices representing about 5000 bales were reported, but at discount of about 26 points under March, the January offerings were @poOhbcu ana lHeTe were TallleS 1uT- ing the middle of the day on cover ing.
 Trading Tn January ended at mid ady, the last sale of that position be- ing at 17.10c. May sold up to 17.02c from the early afternoon rally or within three points of last nights closing quotation. while July was rel atiyely firm. selling six points net higher, owing to purchases against sales of March. Switching from March to July was one of the most promi- nent features and one broker, sup posed to be operating for either Wall street of Japanese connections, was credited with selling 10000 March against equal purchases in the sum- mer months.
 Otherwise business was much re- stricted and the midday rally on cov- ering was followed by renewed weak ness under scattered selling, pro noted by reiterated reports of trade depression in Lancashire and de- pression in the local market for cot ton goods. May broke to 16.6Sc and the close was at the lowest.

Birmingham, January 25.-The first quotations from Liverpool this morn ing were about 10 under due. but later rallied on buying reaction theory and liquidation also the absence of hedge selling. The sales were light at 5000 bales. Our markets opened 20 lower on the disappointing cables, but rallied to yesterdays close and remained quite steady until near the close when it broke sharply on heavy selling, which sent prices about s2 per bale below last night; the finals were around the days low
 The outstanding feature in cotton today was sales of 3o,000 blaes of March, New York, against purchases of July, which was supposed to be for the Japanese interests. The other side of the switch was taken all around the ring in moderate sized lots Switching between months by large interests has been so extensive lately that it is not known whether today operations ware new or liqui- dations. The January options went out quietly. There waS no particular cotton news, no indications of the spot situation improving, spot sales today were very light at decline of 25 to 40 points. We cannot expect to have much of an improvement in flu lures until the spot situation revives I-S. R. Stewart & Co.

New York, January 25.-The pro- fessional character of recent dealings in the stock market became more clearly defined today by the bewilder- ing fluctuations of speculative issues and the neglect of rails and other similar shares.

 Similar tendencies were shown by various other industrials, sugars and a wide range of miscellaneous issues, the market closing with an irregular tone.

F. J. LINNELL & CO.'S LETTER

New Orleans, January 25.-Liver- pool continued to be depressed by the political condition in India and Egypt which prevents Manchester trade from improving. The early sharp decline in the English market this morning.
 the most of which, however was re- covered before the close of the day, was attributed to the weakness in Egyptian cotton, due to politics. While European nolitics are unfsvorable, the prospective supply of raw cotton in India and Egypt for the remainder of the season as is the situation in the south is comparatively small, which is redeeming feature of the markets. These conditions are responsible for the light offerings in the face of, the unfayorabe British trade and polit
 ical news, as it is realized that If British politics in relation to India and Egypt improves the tendency of values would likely be upward again. Such a development may come to pass if England makes liberal concessions. short of absolute independence to In- dia and Egypt as is the case of Ire land, as press advices indicate she is willing to make, which would prob ably put an end to the revolutionary movements and restore peace and trade, Paris press cables report that | the late improvement in continental exchange rates is due to rumor that Premier Poincare will attend the Genoa conference, but information is that he has not yet made a final de- cision. If France and the United States attend the Genoa conference much importance would be attached to such development. In the mean time Washington advises that favor able progress is being made on the Shantung question. which is reported nearing settlement. Meanwhile the south is offering sparingly of it's com paratively small reserve, expecting general conditions to improve, and advices from the interior are to the effect that no great amount of energy Is being used in preparing for the next crop because of inability to obtain credit, especially for increasing the acreage, owing to the destructive | weeyil.-H. & B Beer
The Birmingham age-herald., 1922-01-26

the early hours came from the south and Liverpool, but there was a fair demand from the trade on the theory that the market has reached this low level several times without going through. There seems to be q fair trade demand under the market, but as yet the European situation is far from favorable and the advance in the market will depend entirely upon the volume of demand from American and foreign mills.-Hubbard Bros X Co.

SHANNON & CO.'S LETTER

New York, January 25.-(Special) Outside of a large volume of switch ing the cotton trading today has been very light, with general interest in the market at low ebb.
 March was heavily, sold by some brokers against purchases of July but March was relatively steady un- der demand from other brokers who often act for leading spot interests and who seemed to have almost un- limited orders to buy March and sell later months at existing differences Except for this the trading was with out feature. Occasional flurries of local short covering ran prices up little at times but met fresh offer ings before going very far. Neither the trade nor the south seemed doing anything, though there was buying thought to reflect fixing prices on call cotton and this helped absorb the offerings from speculative sources.
 The stock market has been very ir- regular today. running to sharp changes in specialties., There has been a fair volume in transactions. but no important trend to the general list The morning session was firm with special strength in stocks like David son Chemical, Gulf States Steel, Corn Products. etc, while in the afternoon came reversal Of form With a sharp reaction in these specialties Present conditions are decidedly speculative. The market has had big rise since the middle of last summer adjusting itself to the more abundant and re- liable supply of money On the other hand, business conditions have i'm proved. but slowly. Affairs of great magnitude. however, as affecting the politics and business If the world are in the making. The Washington con ference is nearing conclusion with every expectation of substantial at tainment, which should make for more settled conditions. and conse- quently is helpful to the restoration
