HEAVY REALIZING SALES ABSORBED

NEW YORK, Nov. 23.-Hesvy real izing sales were absorbed on de- cliness of Is to 27 points in the cot ton market during today's early trading and advances followed which carried prices back to about the pre- vious high levels on January, while March and May both made new hign records. March sold up from 34.55c, the early low. to 35.25c, and closed at 35.1Sc, with the general market closing firm at net advances ot ~ to 47 points, The market opened steady at decline of to polnts because of overnight selling orders Liverpool was better than due ana private cables reported that hedge selling there had been absorbed by trade buying, although spot demand was less active. Locally there was little response to the cables, ana there seemed to be quite a general reactionary sentiment around the ring during the early trading based on the extent of the recent advance and reports that the trade buying to fix prices was becoming leS; ac- tive. This was reflected by scatter ing liquidation of long contracts which gave the market rather an un- settled appearance, and active months sold about 15 to 27 points net lower during the middle of the morning. December--w was relatively weak on reiterated reports that the latest advances had been sufficient to start additional shipments here from the south for delivery on con tract and that cotton would be ten dered out of the local stock on no tices at the beginning of next week. December sold off to S4.S6c and May declined to 94.75c, but there was renewal of trade buying at these hs ures and the market turned upWafo during the afternoon on reports of a continued active spot demand in the south and the bullish weekend llg- ures. December advanced to 35.45, and May to 35.4Sc. The close was q few points off from the best. There were rumors of difficulties in the Bombay market growing out of the recent rapid advance in East Indian cotton, but they were probably not an important factor around the lo- cal ring. Exports today 2S,e35, max ing 2.254,264 so far this season. Port receipts 99,790. United States port stocks 937,142.

 In total of nearly 45O, 900 tons booked by northern and 200 900 tons by southern furnaces. the largest lot 50. 900 tons bought at Buffalo by the American Radia- tor Co. At Chicago some foundries bought for the first half of 1924, but almost all the iron taken is for delivery up to April I.
 While the buying has been very heavy the movement has been carried on in conservative way and some important mciters have not yet entered the market
 The finished steel market, in contrast With the activity in pig iron, continues to crations are at less rate. being scaled down rather more in the Chicago district than elsewhere, and apart from tin plate business is not quite up to the October rate.
 However, a better view is taken of pros pects for 1924, the total of railroad ears being planned for grows and the building and automobile outlook continues
 inquiries and steel company estimates now put prospective railroad car business u After booking orders for e,OOO,OOO base boxes of tin plate for the American Can Co., tin plate mills are assured of full activity through the first half of 1924.
 It now appears that most of the rail mills are booked practically full to July, 1924.
