COTTON MARKET HAS QUIET DAY; RANGE IS MARROW

NEW YORK, Feb. 15.-The cotton market was comparatively quiet to- day and the price movement was narrower May deliveries fluctuated between 2S30c and 2S.47c, closing 2S.32c, with the general market clos ing steady. to F points higher.
 The market opened steady, un- more active months being up 8 to 20 points in response to the steady late Liverpool cables.
 There was some scattered southern selling at the higher prices and To- cal realizing, which eased the mar ket off Reports of cold wave In the south eventually made a favor able impression on sentiment with reference to the boil wevil situa- tion, which may have promoted some pressure, but trade interests were moderate buyers on a scale down and the reaction was checked around 2Sc for March. 27.76c for July and 2531c for October, or 6 to- 8 points above yesterdays closing quotations.
 March led the rally which followed and seemed to be influenced by a statement from the division of cot ton marketing of the department of  agriculture to the effect that stocks of cotton in New York had been carefully and accurately graded and that the character and staple of the bulk of the stock are much above the average of, contract deliveries. This probably led to some scattered near-month covering on tho midday advance, which extended to 2S14c for March and 2790c for July or about IS to 24 points net higher on the more active positions. The mar ket made little more realizing or scattered southern selling at these figures, however, and the close was several points off from the best.
 The opening advance herewas en- couraged by rather more cheerful view of the European political news. Manchester reported yarns quiet. With cloths in moderate demand. Exports today, 24,441, making 3.49O. oos so far this season. Port receipts, 2l,67S. United States port stocks. S2S,2S0

NEW ORLEANS COTTON

NEW ORLEANS, Feb. I5.-The main movement in cotton today was in the early trading when there was rise of ls to 70 points Pressure to buy soon stopped and after that it was a series of small recessons and small recoveries, the undertone holding steady because of com mfent regarding what was considered to pc the insecure position of shorts in the old crop months. The market finally closed at net advances on the day of Ii 10 ls points with March at 2S PIC pound. At its best March traded at
 The early bulge was due to a better Liverpool than expected and to claims rom the interior that weather conditions were interfering with preparations for inc new crop. Later in tho day additional stea diness WAS derived from telegrams iron iron Texas stating that the spot demand continued good with Europe cabling of fers very freely. The selling of the ses- sion was always scattered and never con centrated. as il has been at times in the recent past. Much of the selling seemed conditions abroad.
 In the afternoon shorts covered in small way, and their demand helped to steady sbn" the tone, but without bringing changes. r''Se

Says South on Job

BOSTON. Feb. 15.-The effect of south : ern mill competition upon the textile in- dustry in New England was emphasized by F. Howard Bennett. editor of the American Wool and Cotton Reporter, in advocating before legislative commit tee today bill to change the minimum weekly hours of labor in mills in this st te from 4e to b4. Legislators from the tex tile centers and labor leaders opposed the bill.
 "It is not an idle threat that the tex tile mills of Massachusetts will move south," said MT. Bennett. They are all ready started"
 He asserted that many operatives did not wish their working hours restricted. The south, he added. was conducting an aggressive campaign to transfer northern mills to that section.
