COTTON FIRM ON
 BULLISH ADVICES

NEW YORK. Nov. 15.-The cotton market was higher today on the continued firmness of Liverpool and more bullish southern spot advices. January contracts sold up to 33.77 or 52 points above yesterdays clos ing quotation and within 16 points of last weeks high record. The mar ket met renewed realizing at this figure, however, and eased off from the best with January clos ing at 33.50. The general mar ket closed barely steady at a net advance of 20 to 27 points.
 The market opened firm at an ad- vance of 20 to 30 points on all months except June, which was 23 points lower. There was buying on the firm Liverpool cables and reac- tions of 10 to IS points right after the market developing considerable strength during the middle of the day This was due to numerous private reports from the south, claiming that there was a good spot demand for both domestic and for eign account and also to reports that the contracts recently liquidated by speculative longs had gone largely to trade buyers who had been fixing prices on all the recent setbacks. Further buying was reported during the morning and the readiness with which the market had absorbed of ferings since the close of last Tues day appeared to have had a strength ening effect on bullirT sentiment. At any rate there was covering or re- buying by old longs, which sent prices 4S to 55 points net higher during the middle of the afternoon, with December selling up to 34.1O and March to 34.02. This carried the market back to within 15 or 20 points of last weeks high records and there was increased or renewed liquidation at these figures, which caused late reactions of some 20 to 27 points from the best Private cables said the advance in Liverpool was due partly to the lower ster- ling exchange rates, but that there had also been buying on reports of strong southern spot markets and that Lancashire had been doing good business lately with the Far East. Exports today were 21,4s4, making 2,022,9S7 so far this season. Port receipts, Ss.304.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 15.-A buying movement started on the opening of the cotton market today and controlled prices during the greater part of the session putting the trading months about F c a pound up at the highest of the day. After midsession less strength was shown and liquidation caused receSsions, par ticularly the close that last prices were at net gains the day of but to 22 points, December's last sale being at 33.35c pound.
 Early gains amounted to 30 to 42 points and late in the morning the ad- vance was widened to 45 to 50 points, this being the stage at which the high prices of the day were made.
