NEW YORK COTTON
NEW ORLEANS COTTON

New Orleans, February IA good undertone and moderate ad- vances were maintained by cotton today. the opening being higher highest prices being reached toward mid-session when March was at 16.69c and the list showed gains of 29 to 32 points, while the close was very steady at net advances of Is to 23 points, March closing at 16.5S. Highest prices were reached on re- ports to brokers that the mills in New England were making headway against the strikes over reductions in wages.
 The opening advance was caused by better Liverpool, cables than eN- pected, increased trading on the spot and private cablegrams noting bet ter business in Manchester.
 Continued cold weather over the belt and no rain in the drouthy sec tions of Texas and Oklahoma were regarded as unfavorable for crop preparations. all the more so because of claims from important points that farm work was as much as from two to three weeks behind
 There were many small recessions during the day but the market had no real selling power. Widest down turns followed the posting of the weekly statistics, showing mill talk ings by the world of American cotton this week 176,000 bales against 273,- 900 this week last year, and 275,00o this week two years ago. Small talk ings, however, were expected be- cause of the labor troubles in this country and they did not cause much if any stir.

REALIZING ON THE
 WEEKEND, SOME
 SELLING IN COTTON
General Staple List Closed Steady at a Net Advance of Twenty to Twenty
 seven Points
By Associated Press

New York, February 1.-The cot ton market showed a generally bet ter tone during today's trading, all though there was considerable real izing for over the weekend and probably some scattered selling for 8 reaction. May contracts sold up to 1765c during the early afternoon or 35 points net higher and within 10 points of the best price touched on Wednesday. The price reacted to 17.3sc later under realizing, but ral- lied in tn elast few minutes, closing at 17.57c with the general market closing very steady at net advance of 20 to 27 cents.
 The market opened steady at an advance of s to 15 points on better Liverpool cables than expected, There was a good deal of realizing at the Initial prices but it was ab- sorbed on reactions of I or points and the market soon turned firmer on bullsh advices from the south. Trade interests were among the buy CTS on the advance which carried March contracts up to t7.90c and July to 17.15c. or about 30 to 8 points net higher on the active posi- tions, Realizing then became lit- tie more active and there were rather sharp reactions, but except for profit taking there was no sell ing pressure developed and last prices were within 9 or 10 points of the best. Private cables attributed the firm tone of Liverpool to an improvement in Manchester and trade buying to fix prices on call cotton. Egypt was reported a fair buyer in Lancashire goods markets which were also said to be receiving better inquiry from China and fn dia. There was no change in the news from the New England labor troubles but if anything a better de- mand was reported for cotton goods and sales of print cloths in the Fall River market for the week were esti- mated at 115,000 pieces, The closing rally here was probably encouraged by the week -end figures which showed a decrease of 122,979 bales in the worlds visible supply of Amer ican cotton for the week compared with 47.050 last year. Exports to- day SS93 bales making 5.63l, GAP so far this season. Port receipts 11,679. United States port stocks 1,l05, t6S.

F. J. LINNELL < CO.'S LETTER

New Orleans, February 17.-(Spe- cial.)-Undertone of market was bet tor owing to encouraging Liverpool and Manchester cable advices and an improved demand for spots in the south and England. sales at the quoted southern markets yesterday aggregating 26,0o0 bales, the lar gest since October.
 Private cables from Liverpool re- ported spinners calling cotton and Manchester trade reports better.
 England has resorted to stern measures in dealing with India, but has decided to abolish her protec- torate over Egypt.
 At any rate, the European news is considered more favorable which is reflected in an unusual advance of points in English consols for money which closed at 551a
 Apparently Liverpooh and Manches- ter are taking a hopeful view of the international situation, especially of the European political and finan- cial situation and London appears to be in more cheerful mood.
 Meanwhile improvement is re- ported in the metal and lumber mar kets in the United States, which, fol- lowing the late enhancement in the value of farm products in the west and south makes for trade revival. This is more clearly indicated by a large decrease in idle freight cars, lo,15S for week ending February f.
 If England is successful in hand ling the situat tion satisfactorily in India it's largest outlet for cotton goods, English trade advices will likely continue to improve.-H. and B. Beer.

Cotton Market Has
 Been Firm During
 Weeks s Turnouer
By Associated Press

New York, February 1.-The cot ton market has shown continued firmness during the past week. h. creased realizing sales were encoun cred as the price of May contracts working up to 1775e which repre- sented an advance of just about $l0 per bale as compared with 'he low price touched toward the end of last month. Such offerings were absorbed on comparatively few points of the best today owing to reports of an improved spot demand and firmer spot basis in the south. The advance has found no encouragement in the news from the domestic goods trade or the new England labor situation The latter must be leading to some curtailment of mill production, and while there has been little moro buying of cotton goods in the pri- mary markets, no general demand has developed and the tone has been unsettled.
 The news from Manchester, how ever, has been more favorable. Brit ish merchants seemed to have de veioped a fair volume of business with Egypt while an increased in- quiry has also been reported from China. The betterment in this re- spect has found a reflection in larger sales of spot cotton in the Liverpool market and according to reports re- ceived here from Texas, Liverpool importers have been more active in the southwest.
 The sales officially reported in the Southern spot markets have not been large, but they have shown some in- features in the future market here has been the absence of hedge sell ing or any other indication of spot pressure. This has held speculative selling in check and while reaction ary sentiment was. created by the extent of recent advices, the market during nearly the whole of the week has shown sensitiveness to compar- atively small buying orders. The census report on supply and distri- button for the month of January shows a well sustained volume of home consumption and was regarded by local statisticians as in line with previous prospects for reduction of about 1000, 900 bales in the carry over of cotton in this country for the present season. New crop pros poets are not yet taking any defi- mite shape but there have been re- iterated reports that planting would be restricted by lack of finances or fear of boil weevil.
