CHICAGO, Jan. 11.-CneaSiness
over war possibilities in Europe and
as to the domestic winter crop out
look led to a fresh upturn today
in the price of wheat. The market
closed firm. lie to 1ssc net higher

With Liverpool quotations showing
continuance of excessive dry weather
threatening damage to winter wheat,
traders on the bear side failed to
make any impression in contending
that Sc advance over the recent low
prices was sufficient. for the time
being. On the contrary, the market
began to move upward as soon as
business got under way. Meanwhile
drastic new moves in the reparations

talk conferred in questions such as

COTTON REACHES
PEAK OF SEASON.
WITH SURPRISES

NEW YORK, Jan 11.-New high
record prices for the season We're
established in the cotton market to-
day. People who had delayed buy
ing or had sold in anticipation that
the occupation of the Ruhr valley
by the French would have a depress-
ing effect, evidently were alarmed by
the readiness with which recent Of
ferings had been absorbed and the
continued steadiness of Liverpool.
A sharp opening advance met a
coed deal of realizing but it was
taken on moderate setbacks, and the
highest prices of the day and season
were touched late in the afternoon
when May sold at 27.40c, or SO points
net higher. That delivery closed at
27.37c, with the general market clos
ing strong. 40 to 80 points net
higher.
The market opened steady, ) to
points higher on the continued firm
ness of Liverpool, firmer opening of
sterling exchange rates and covering.
Stop orders were uncovered which
soon sent the market up 10 PIC for
March and 27.20c for May. After their
execution. the market showed some
uncertainty. There was considerable
realizing and probably little scat
tered southern hedging, and rather
reactionary feeling appeared to be
growing on setbacks of 10 to is
points, however, and the market
firmed up again on reports that the
buying limits of the trade were be-
ing advanced and that the higher
prices had met no increase in south
ern spot offerings These reports
combined with the comparatively
small volume of liquidation en-
countered above the 27c level for May
seemed to encourage more aggressive
support when January sold up to
26s5c and March 27.23c. or about As
to So points net higher on the gem
eral list. Commission houses with
Wall street and Western connections
were reported active buyers late in
the day and prices closed within 2 or
points of the best.
Manchester cables reported an in
creased inquiry for cloths from In

goods market said the advance in

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 1.-THE news
was generally favorable in the cotton mar
ket today or was construed that way
and prices made new high record levels
for the season it, the March position
rising to 26.92c a pound and October. the
only active new crop position, rising to
24.S2c. AT these levels prices were AZ to
40 points higher than the closing quota
tons of yesterday. Greatest strength was
shown in the late trading and the close
was very steady at net advances on the
day of 43 to A. points. March closing 1T
26.SSc and October at 24.96c, the top OF
the market for that month"; In the spot
department, prices gained Il points on the
day, which carried middlng to the new
high record price of 27e a pound.
On the opening consecutive view Of
foreign political developments was taken
comment being especially favorable re-
garding events connected with the Near
Eastern situation. Early gains amounted
TO % to IS points after which enough re-
leasing was done by recent buyers to cause
recessions of 10 to IS points. Around
noon the tone steadied again and in the
afternoon the market became very active
and strong.
Back of the late advance were reports
that exporters were in the local spot mar
ket and claims of better spot demand
all around, especially in Texas markets.
The strength toward the close was set
down by some brokers as being due 10
