NEW YORK COTTON FUTURES
NEW ORLEANS COTTON

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 24.-After short period of pronounced strength and new high price records for the season, in the early trading today. the cotton market acquired an equally pronounced reaction ary feeling and spent the remainder or tho session in gradual sagging movement closing prices being very nearly the lowest of the day. Early gains amounted to 70 to S4 points. carrying March up 10 2s.osc. From this there was drop to 2S2oc TOT March, where the trading months were , to 2s points under the closing quotations of yesterday. Last prices were point up 10 2 points Hown net for the day, March closing at 2S.26c.
 Liquidation of the long interest was tho main influence against values but, In aa- ditfon there was a better feeling regard : ing new crop conditions because of recent prevailing cold weather ana expectations of more wet weather to come. Because of these conditions the new crops were much weaker than the old. hence the great irregularity of tho market. In tho late trading when March showed net declines of points. October was at net declines of 2S points. October fell 10 Sic and closed a point higher.
 Early strength was stimulated by bet ter Liverpool market than due and reports that a considerable spot business had been done by local merchants on over night cables with European countries, Italy be- ing the best buyer. The tendency to re- act was increased by the unexpected Is suance of notices of the tender of 4,400 bales against January contracts. Some of the notices circulated for considerable time.

iFLEECY STAPLE HIGHER LEVEL IS IIS PUSHED OVER SOUGHT BY WHEAT
 THE TOP IN PRICE IN A BUSY SESSION
By Associnted Press

CHICAGO, Jan. 24.-Wheat showed tendency toward higher price level today, with special attention be- ing given to news that the Senate agricultural committee had favorably reported the Norbeck bill 60 stimulate export of farm products. Closing quotations were unsettled at bc mel decline to 1 hc gain, with May s1.171 F to $l17ss and July SLIP to SLIPS Corn finished S@ &c to 1sc up; oats up % O Tsc to Tc, and provisions at an advance of Pc to 17c.
 Sentiment in favor of higher prices for wheat began to develop early when it became apparent that de rression in the Liverpool market anG in foreign exchange rates was failing to bring about any particular pres sure to sell here.
 Striking Upturn
 The most striking upturn of prices came after the fact was generally known that a step forward had been taken at Washington to create the revolving fund of $250,00o,o00 pro posed by Senator Norbeck. On the bulges which ensued selling broad ened out and reactions followed, the chief ground for bearish views being apparently uneasiness in regard to possible results from continued dis sensions.
 Corn and oats were firm as a re- suit of the government report, which placed the number of hogs on farms on January 1 far in excess of the previous year.
 Provisions were rather easy in sympathy with hogs and on the lib- eral number of hogs on farms as shown by the government report.

Big Shortage Reported
 In the Cabbage Output

CHICAGO. Jan. 24.--A shortage of cab bage was predicted today by the United States bureau of markets. due partly to the decreased acreage of cabbage planted this season by Florida and Texas, the two leading winter shipping states.
 Florida farmers this season planted only 1900 acres compared with 1000 last year. Instead of shipping approxi-. mately 5000 cars this season, as they did last year. this seasons shipments from the two states were estimated at less than 1000 cars. The output of the two states to January 20 was PAT cars, compared with SIP last season.
 This reduction was said to be partly offset by 150-car gain in the second crop from southern California, but the total cabbage supply was reported week by week less than last year when old cabbage prices were twice as high. rang ing from s3s to $50 ton as compared with s2o to s3o at present.
 Old cabbage during tne week ending today sold from $20 to s30 ton. Ad- vance sales in western New York for February delivery were s5-to s7 above cur rent prices, indicating a confident tons for the future.
 Less new and moro old cabbage was expected on the market for the remain der of thisl season. It was estimated that 4500 cars of storage cabbage were available During the week new cab bage held firm, advancing s2 to s5 a ton in some markets.
 While shipments of southern vegetables showed gains. the total movement of 10 products was S.S21 cars. 1,170 less than the preceding week.

By Associated Press

NEW YORK, Jan. 24.-A continu- ation of yesterdays buying movement sent prices into new high ground for the season in the cotton market dur ing today's early trading. May sold at 29.05c before the early buying orders were supplied, but the 29c level evidently attracted great deal of realizing and there were reactions during the afternoon. These carried May off to 2S.70c, or 35 points from the early high level. and that month closed at 2S71c, with the general market closing steady, ' to 12 points net lower on the old crop and 29 to 30 points off on the new crop posi- tions.
 The market opened very steady, 6 i to 40 points higher on relatively firm Liverpool cables, continued bullish reports from Manchester and the do- mestic goods markets. and favoraole overnight spot advices from the south. There was a good deal of realizing from the start, but 1t was very well absorbed by trade buying, covering or scattering support, until March touched 2ss7c and July 2s.7sc, or about 25 to 27 points net higher on the active positions. The advance was then checked b.' increased offer ings and the market became rather  unsettled. There were few January notices which caused some liquidation by remaining longs and after selling at 2s.S5c early, that month broke to 2S.35c in the late trading.
 New Crop Months Easy
 New crop months were relatively casing owing to liquidation and Wall street or local selling. which seemed to be promoted by better weather in the southwest and expectations of increased acreage. October sold off to 26.31c, or 30 points net lower, and closing prices were about the lowest of the day.
 A private cable from Liverpool said at the present fate of consumption and re-exports, England would re- quire 100000 bales of American, 37o,0oO of Egyptian and 100000 of other growths to carry it through to the end of September. Exports to- day 1909, making 3,152,s5S so far this season. Port receipts lS,1s7. United States port stocks s44,Sl7.

London, July 24.-Another great
step in the development of wireless
Geographic transmission has been
realized, says Senator Marconi, who
has returned to London after a twu
months experimental cruise i'm his
yacht "Electra." A system has
been evolved by the Italian inven-
tor whereby wireless messages are
transmitted with minimum OF
electrical power, and at very low
cost.

cycle, has reached such practical
stage that orders are being booked
for it by the public.
Rising out of small fields and be-
ing wonderfully comfortable in the
air, these chcaplyrun winged cars
are to be made to alight SO slowly
that the risk of crash on landing
even under adverse circumstances
will be practically eliminated. Furth-
ermore, such machines will be SO
handy on the ground and their wings
will fold SO neatly, that it will be
possible to house them in ordinary
motor garages.
1t is expected that the owner of
one of these machines will be able
to make the trip from London ia
Paris and back, sweeping high over
the Channel and escaping all the irri-
tations and delays Of earth trans
port, for about So. A movement is
now on foot to get motor-garage pro-
prietors to~set aside smooth surface
fields, marked clearly so they can be
seen from above. In this way the
drivers of little "air cars" when on
weekend aerial rambles, will have
points all over the country where
they can descend and replenish their
gasoline tanks, or make any neces-
sary repairs or adjustments.
