SHARP ADVANCE IN COTTON LIST
 ON STOP NOTICES
By Associated Press

New York November 24.--The stopping of. December notices at discounts of from 10 to 1 5 points as compared with January contracts. was followed by rather a sharp advance in the cotton market here today January sold up from 25.4Oc to 25.7Oc and closed at 25,56c. with the general market closing steady n to 27 points net higher
 There were fewer December notices than expected. Yesterday afternoon trades had established that there would be no tices representing 20.G00 to 25,000 bales Instead the notices actually issued were placed at only 14,1oo bales, and the mar ket opened steady points lower to IS points higher, generally 2 to 20 points higher. Buying encouraged by the relatively slow showing of the late Liver pool cables. and the active months soon showed net advances of 2s to 35 points, But while the notices were less than looked for their circulation caused con siderable scattering liquidation and this selling checked the advance shortly after the call Trade interests seemed willing to buy December pretty freely at 10 points below January, however, and later con tinued buying at a slight widening of the difference, and the gradual absorption of the December offerings evidently couraged some fresh buying of the later deliveries. The latter was further pro noted by reports that some southern mills were re-entering the spot markets for de- liveries extending from January 10 May and the market showed increasing activ- ity and strength during the afternoon, with December selling up to 25.62c and March to 25.77c, or 32 to g points net higher and about % points above the low level of last Tuesday. Closing prices were off from the best under realizing.
 Early cables from Liverpool comp plained of a continued small trade demand and q poor trade in Manchester. but a private cable came in later saying it not ex pected that Lancashire spnuers would adopt the hsff-time schedule for Decem Der. Large exports fo. the day helped the afternoon market Exports were 745S6 bales making 2,045.605 so far this son. Port receipts. 45.tsS; United States port stocks, 1t9G.S7s.

FOREIGN PRICES SENDS WHEAT UP
 IN BUSY SESSION
By Associated Press

Chicago, November 24.-Wheat moved upward in price today largely by way Of response to tine course ot values at Winni- peg and Liverpool The close was unset tied. ,. to 1sc net higher, with May s1.f1A to s1.1Tas and July sl.osts. Corn finished unchanged to Ac up, oats with ssc to ssc gain. and provisions varying from the same as yesterdays close to q rise of 200.
 It was accepted here that advances in the Winnipeg market were due to at tempts to cash interests to get wheat to fill November contracts. Upturns at Liver pool were interpreted as the result ot similar conditions there. Talk of ltbera buying at the seaboard tended also tt favor the bull side of the market. Besides s35 900 bushels of hard was taken here for export
 together with reports that western ship pers and feeders were outbiddfng Chicago gave fiFmness to the market here for corr 9nd oats.
 Higher quotations on hogs gave If Q provisions.

New York November 2i-~ Brsdstreet,s
 Little change in the aggregate of ac2 tivities trade sas whole heinr satisfec- tory. but quite definite shifting of in terest from primary lines Of distribp,ian to the iobbing and retail branches is in evidence this week. For this. cooler weather in many weetern districts. the growth in holiday buying and the ad- vanced stage of the ordinary fall trade season are mainly responsible. Accom- panyIng these developments have been some notable changes in movements of important staples growing out Of slight farther easing. of the car situation Grain marketing. aided by best prices of the season. has Increased, and coal loadings last week were close to the years record but movement of other freights have decreased which, fortified by the official car loading figures for the preceding week November ID. would make it seem fairly certain. as intimated last week. that ear loadlngs as whole touched their peak in the last week of october. follow ing slightly short then of reaching -the high peak total set in mid October of 1920.

NEW YORK COTTON FUTURES
NEW oRI.EANS COTTON

New Orleans November 2A.-Wh nile tcs day was the first notice day for December contracts in the cotton market. there wis hardly any hesitation about the moven"nt of prices, eveu the opening. A sttons advance set in during the course of the first call and continued until nearly noon, when the high levels of the session Nere reached. Here the trading positions were 37 to 46 points over the close of yes.er- day, with December up to 25.31c a pou1 |. The afternoon brought realizing on rather liberal scale under which the mar ket gave way for small set backs, the close being al net gains on the day Of 22 to 2S points, DeeeYbef closing at 20. lSe.
 On the opening call. December lost points at 2i.79e but when 1t was known that notices here called for the tende"s or only 500 bales against December con tracts and when New York commenced 70 wire that although tenders there were estimated a as high t.000 bales, they were being cared for. December Joined the other months at the advance. ] Much strength was gained from fhe large expert movement. clearances for the day amounting to 74,5s6 bales. bring ing the total for the week up to 153 S60 and sending the grand total for the season across the 2. .000 poo bale mark to 2006.- SIG. This was regarded as highly bullish because of the claim in some quarters that this country cannot spare for export more than 4.000 000 bales of cotton during the entire season. Highest prices were reachel following the posting of the weekly sta tistics, counting mill takings at i31 900 bales. Against 42l 00Q last week, and 3S2, 000 this week last Year.

Fleecv Staple Held We'll Most of Past
 Week in New York
By Associated Press

New York. November e4.--After selling off to 24s0c for January contracts on Tuesday or 176 points below the recent high record, the cotton market turned steadier on evidences of firmer technical position. There was further scattering liquidation but the selling of that sort seemed to be tapering off and while there was nothing to indicate any decided did better later in the week on covering or a renewal of scattered buying.
 There was some irregularity incident to the first December notices this morn ing. but trade interests bought December against sales of later months and prices showed rallies of some 90 points or more from the lowest of the week today. These recoveries were attributed partly to a feeling that with the futures market pretty thoroughly liqudated there was power unless there was increase in southern spot offerings. With reference to ella aimed that spot holders were generally in position to market slowly and while the volume of spot business officially re ported in southern markets has not been running to more than eight or ten thou sand bales per day, there has been noth- ing to indicate any particular selling pres sure.
 The census report. showing s,s69,S57 closely in line with the forecasts. On the basis of the percentage ginned to the the same date nSt year the figures were re. garded as pointing to a crop of about .. ITO GOO bales and private estimates rang ing from around 9.60o.000 to s90o,ooo have had no apparent influence.
 Private cable advices have continued to complain of poor trade in Lancashire, but according to reports reaching here today, Lancashire spinners of American cotton are not likely to adopt the proposed half time schedule for December. The advance toward the end of,the week probably was promoted by feports that some ot. the southern mills were re-entering the spot markets for deliveries extending from Jan uary to May.
 Traders have found little change in re- ports from the domestic goods market, which have been comparatively quiet. but generally steady to firm as to prices.
 The first December notices today rep re senfed a hnnf 1 1. h0O bales.
