FIRM SITUATION IN SOUTHERN SPOT
 CAUSES 4 RALLY

NEW YORK, Jan. 30.-An early de- cline was followed by rallies in the cotton market today owing to reports of a firmer southern spot situation, some trade buying of near months and covering or replacing by recent sellers May deliveries sold up from 27 soc to 2S 29c and closed at 2S.15c, with the general market closing steady at net advances of 4 to Is points. New crop months were rela- lively firm.
 The market opened barely steady. 16 to 27 points lower, and the active months sold 19 to S1 points net lower during the first few minutes owing to the failure of Liverpool to hold an early advance and increasing ner- Vousness over the European situation. Liverpool stiffened up right after the local opening, and as soon as the in- itial selling orders here had been ab- sorbed the market turned steadier. Houses with trade connections were lbuyers of March, presumably to fix prices on call cotton, and while gen. eral business was not particularly ac- tive, the market showed considerable strength during the early afternoon. March sold from 27.65c to 2S. 09e and october from 25c to 25 COG, making net advances of IS to 35 points on the active positions.
 Reports that Japanese and German interests were buying spot cotton in the southwestern markets doubtless contributed to this advance, but there was scattered realizing at the higher figures and prices eased off a few points. According to local brokers there was a great deal of buying for mill account to fix prices during the day which was regarded as an indica- tiOn that holders of cotton in the south had not fully followed the re- cent decline in futures.
 Private cable advices from Liver pool stating that Lancashire had abandoned the short time schedule were probably factor on the recov- cry from the early low level. Port re- ceipts today were 26,09S bales. United
