NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 12.-Strong oulges
carried the price of cotton to new hlgh
levels for the season the opening today
March crossed the 27-cent level and did not
stop until it was at PTS cents pound ;
October rushed above the 25-cent line TO
2523 In the first half hour OF the session
prices gained - to 80 points on buying
movement that appeared to be general. Much
of the buying was stimulated by expecta-
lions of bullish weekend STATISTICS; some
of it was due to a much higher Liverpool
market than expected and to cable messages
from Manchester stating cloth trade with
India was showing greater activity.
The advance continued until March stood
at 27.30c and the list was at gains of A.
to Al points Toward noon there was a
Quick break of about dollar bale, March
falling to 27.1Oc under the pointer to the the

compared with the takings this week last

CHICAGO, Jan. 12.-Sentiment was bear

selling had been a little too iniudicious.

this led to pressure from locals. The mar

southwest encouraging buying on the dip.

will show another liberal increase with
Minneapolis stocks alone increasing 1,S15,-
600 bushels for the week. Export demand
was quiet and milling demand was not so
good as of late. The miXup between the

NEW YORK, Jan. 12.-The cotton market
showed continued strength at the opening to-
day. The buying was even more active and
general than on the Advance % yesterday
and prices made new high records for the
season on all positions, owing to the CON
tnued firmncss of Liverpool, and higher
foreign exchange rates. The initial advance
Of 16 to 81 points carried the price of May
contracts up TO 27.56 and while there was
very heavy realizing it was absorbed by a
broadening demand which seemed 10 come
from both foreign and domestic trade inter-
ests as well as shorts and commission
houses Private cables reported Liverpool
firm on an improving demand for goods
from India at advancing prices
There was heavy selling or realizing on
the early advance: Offerings appeared 10
be readily absorbed, however. and the mar
ket showed renweed strength later because
of the firm late cables from Liverpool, con-
, timed trade buying, covering and commls-
sion house support All months maze new
highs with May contracts selling up to 21.7S
early in the noon hour, when the general
list was 40 to Al points net higher. Reports
from the local cotton goods market that
buyers were being stimulated by the ad-
vance in raw Gotten probably contributed TO
the advance. but bulls put more emphasis
upon the improving trade reported in Ian
cashirp as a prohabl efore runner of an an
nounced export demand for American cotton.
The midday advances were not fully
maintained. with the midafternOon market
