COTTON MARKETS.

NEW YORK, February 11.-Much OF
the opening advance OF seven to ten
points in the cotton market today was
due to supporting orders from Liver

some covering for over the holidays.

subsequent selling pressure from New
Orleans, Wall street and southern
wire houses weakened the market
about five points from the early high
levels. This was followed by slight
rallies which carried May up to 1897

continued very quiet.

MARKET IS DULL;
CLOSING IRREGULAR
No Suggestion Of Any Change

BY STUART p. WEST.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, February 11.-It was
,, an uneventful day in the stock mar
ket, which was getting ready for the
double holiday. This involved GER
tain amount Of selling by the trading
element and some weakening of prices.
There was no suggestion Of any
change in the market position gen.
orally.
One or two weak spots appeared
among Individual stocks. notably
Montgomery-Ward and Sears Roe
buck. which are contending against
unfavorable conditions which do not
apply to the same extent to other
lines of business.
The reaction in sterling exchange
went somewhat farther, but impor-
tant testimony to the prominence of
the progress back of the recent ad-
vance was given by the British board
of trade returns for January. These
figures throw more light upon the
advance in sterling rates than any
thing that has yet appeared.
shorts Cover Moderately.
Shorts covered moderately in rails
and some OF the representative indus
trials, but the general list, particu-
larly low-priced miscellaneous issues,
denoted an absolute lack of interest.
Prices rallied slightly in the final
troieum and Peoples Gas.
The closing was irregular. Sales
approximated 275.000 shares.

N. Y. DRY GOODS SLOW.
Print Cloth Trading Continues
Listless and Irregular.

NEW YORK, February II (SpeciaD.
The listlessl and irregular trading
in print cloths continued today. Most
of the business done was in the. ma
ture OF cleaning up of odds and
ends preparatory to the Monday holi-
day. Miscellaneous orders appeared
for some constructions. but southern
64a60s and 6sa72s were no stronger.
Marrow goods showed softening
tendency. Sheetings were in small
demand, and some pajama: checks
were sold at shade below figures
which have been current. A fair buSi-
ness was done in three-leaf twills.
The demand for broad silks was
somewhat better today, with some
what more strength exhibited in
prices. Canton crepes, knitted crepes
and taffetas were sought. The raw
silk market showed little change in
spite Of the easier tendency in Yoko-
hama. There was little trading.

of the ledger to set against the in
visible credits which Europe holds
over us.
The stock market occupies much
the same position az it did a week
ago. Professional traders and specu-
iative cliques are supplying all the
initiative. The public is taking little
interest. at least in the current
fluctuations. For this reason the in
SIDE conditions remain strong. because
stocks are not being distributed into
weak hands. Quite confidence that
the spring will witness further re-
covery in general business Is the key
note OF present operations.
Concern Over Tax Measures.
The quick absorption of so large an
issue as the s75,000.00G farmland
bank bonds shows. that there. is no
let-up in the investment demand. The
bond market as a whole has been
helped by the decision to raise the
cash for soldier bonus payments with
new taxes rather than with fresh
issue of government securities, but
the possibility Of any such tax as
bond transfers is necessarily viewed
with the utmost concern
In the bill which passed the House
in May, 1920. there was similar
tax. but it was levied not on the. par
value. but on the market value Of
securities. The par value basis-if
this is really going to be adhered to
presents some ridiculous. incon-
sistencies. A stock like Erie com
mon, for example, selling at $11
share. would call for $40 payment
on every. sale of a hundred shares
because of its 800 par, while a stock
like Utah Copper. selling at SCI.
would only pay 81 per hundred be-
cause Of its SO par.
Tax Revenue OSerestfmated.
This is one thing which will have
to be threshed out. regardless of the
first report from the ways and means
committee. but it is difficult to be-
lieve that any such TAX as $40 hun
dreu shares can stand, when Con-
gress is made to see the futiiity of
such measure as a revenue raiser.
The calculation of an annual return
of S64 100000 is apparently made by
multiplying the proceeds Of the pres
ent 81 tax by five. If this is so, il is
an absolutely fatuous estimate, be-
cause nobody in Congress or out can
suppose that the volume of Wall
street transactions under any such
impost would not be cut down very
heavily.
1t is in the presentation of this
aspect-that tax as burdensome as
this would completely fail Of its OBJ
ject-that the best hope lies of au
eventual reasonable adjustment of
the matter.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, February 1.-THE
grain market and the foreign ex-
change market have been the chief
centers of interest during the past
week. Within the last fortnight the
May wheat delivery has risen some
13 cents a bushel. At its high.
around. s4.39. sterling exchange was
the pound, while the value of the
French francs had increased SIS cents
in the hundred francs. These re-
markable movements are more OF
less closely related.
+ The improvement IN European cur
dollar makes the American market
for all commodities more attractive
to the foreign buyer. AS yet, this
has not shown In the current exports
OF wheat. which are running well
below what they were year ago.
but the wheat market is rightly
reasoning that the rise in exchange
foreshadows heavier purchases for
European account later on, when
contracts for delivery in the summer
and autumn begin to be made more
freely.
The prospect of a short winter
wheat crop for this country this year
If, indeed. not more forceful one.
in promoting the. recovery in wheat
prices as the rise in exchange. The
latest reports on farm reserves show
that there is no longer the great
overhanging supply from the old
crop that there was six months ago.
English Credits Improve.
The fundamental reason for the rise
in the foreign exchanges has been
pointed out SO often that it would
hardly seem to bear repetition. Eng
land has been able to raise the value
of the pound sterling by the simple
expedient of cutting down its pur-
chases in the American market to
such an extent that it has ceased to
be debtor on current exchange
operations. The foreign trade figures
OF both countries show this plainly.
The fact that Great Britain owes
US some 100000 for credits
granted during the war, which are
now to be dealt with under the new
allied debt refunding bill, does not
enter as an immediate factor. Pre-
vious to 1914 we owed Europe fully
this amount on our securities owned
over there. but this did not involve a
depreciation in the value of the
American dollar. When Europe be-
gins to pay interest on this debt the
position will be different, for then
there will be new item on our side
