COTTON MARKETS.

NEW YORK, April 24.-An opening
advance of 1 to 20 points was checked
by renewal of near month liquidation
in the cotton market today. After
selling at 1920, May reacted to 1884.
Later months eaSed off in sympathy,
but there appeared to be a better de-
mand for May at the reduced pre-
MUM, and the market soon steadied
up on covering, with active months
showing net advances of about Is TO
Is points.
The opening advance was promoted
by relatively firm cables from Liver
pool, which private advices attributed
TO a more active business in Manches-
ter and an increased spot demand.
The showing of the early weather
map was considered favorable, but
selling of new crop months was re-
stricted by prospects for rather un-
settled or cooler weather in the south
west.
Fluctuations later were irregular,
but further near month liquidation was
absorbed on moderate dips, and the
market was Steadier on covering. May
advanced to 29.30 and October to 24.65,
or Is to % points net higher, and the
market appeared to be favorably influ-
enced by the SteadnesS of the stock
market. Much Of the business was at
tributed to the undoing of straddles
between May and July contracts at
differences ranging from about 1870 to
l30 points.

after the start on the report that 1000
bales had been shipped out of the local
certiflcated stock. confirming yester-
days rumor that practically all of the
certifcated stock was earmarked for
shipment. After May traded up to
29.40, July to 27.59 and October to
1893. the market fuctuated aimlessly
within d range of ten points. The
weather map was dry.
The market ruled quite steady. be-
ing sustained by d forecast for un-
settled weather with thunder show

SO, 900, 900 BACK TAX PAID.

NEW YORK. April 24.-Officials of
the American Can Company have an
nounced that a claim for $3,900,O00 in
federal back taxes had been paid to
the government and that the amount
had been provided for through deduc-
tions from earnings in previous
years, shown as contingent liabilities
in the annual statements. The trans
action would have no bearing on 1924
earnings, il was stated.
While officials of the company de-
clined to say whether action was con-
templated to determine the legality
of the transaction, the government
claimed it was expected in the finan-
cial district that suit would be filed
in the court of claims to recover the
money.
Federal tax claims against the
American Can Company last November
aggregated about $13,000,000.s That
the company did not expect it would
be called upon to pay the full amount
vas indicated by the fact that the
1929 statement of contingent liabili-
ties included only s5,991,2S3 for tax
reserves. This was in addition to the
regular reserve for federal taxes, car
ried as a current liability.
