COTTON REACTS
 LATE IN SESSION
Market Closes Steady At Net
 Declines Of Six To Twenty

NEW YORK, Feb. IA further slight advance during today's early trading was followed by reactions in the cotton market. May contracts, which sold at 34.1Sc on the early bulge, broke to 53.77c and closed at 3.913c, with the general market closing steady at net decline of 6 to 20 points, except for August, which was nominally 3S points lower.
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of 1 point on October but 3 to IS points lower on the active sold crop pointing cables from Liverpool. The initial offerings were soon accomplish ed by continuation of yesterdays buys ing movements, prices worked upwards right after the call, with March ad- vancing to s3.s4c and July to 32.soc. org to 12 points net higher. This made a recovery of little over a cent a pound, as compared with the low prices of last Monday morning, which was evidently sufficient to attract realizing for over the weekend. At any rate, offerings increased and the market turned easier during the middle of the day, with March, selling off to 3350c and July to 32.50c, or about 35 to 40 points from the best and 25 to 30 points net lower. The decline was accom- panied by reiterated complaints of a poor demand for. cotton goods and talk of increased mill curtailment, but the market was steadied by bullish spot adviees from the south and the week. end figures showing rather larger spin ners' takings than anticipated. These features caused rallies of 25 or 30 points during the early afternoon, but they were not fully maintained and the mar ket was rather nervous and unsettled 1T. the late trading. The first sale for January, 1925 delivery, was reported this morning. the price paid being 27.42c or about 80 points under De- cember. Early. cables from Liverpool said the market there influenced by a less active spot demand, but a report reached here to the effect that Russia had been a buyer there after an hour,s< rumor placing the sales at 10000 sales, Port receipts. 17,9S5.

Southern Railway Issues Create Another Record Price At AZ 5-S

NEWPORT, Feb. 1.-Stock prices displayed a firm undertone in today's active market despite considerable bear selling and profit-taking in various sections of. the list. Establishment of a new high record for all time by American Can at 122% and a further rise in United States Steel common to 107A, the highest price since last April, were among the days features, all though both stocks cancelled their gains and closed at small fractional losses.
 Spectators for the advance were en- couraged by the further increase in the federal reserve ratio, which brought it to the highest level since the spring of 1917, and a report of unprecedented railroad traffic in January. Rails made better general showing than the industrials, Southern, railway creating another new record price at 47%, while the St. Louis, Southwestern issues advanced about a point each, buying of all being based on specula- tive expectation of an early resumption of dividends.
 Independent Steels showed consider able strength on reports of increased operations and higher earnings. Beth lehem closed nearly two points higher at 60B; Crucible and H. S. Cast Iron Pipe each moved up 1A and Gulf States Steel and Republic closed more than a point higher. Tobaccos devel- oped temporary strength, but were un- able to maintain their gains in the late wave of profit-taking, although American Tobacco closed IF higher, at 154A, after selling a point above that figure.
 Testimony before the Senate bring ing the names of other former cabinet officers into the oil inquiry resulted in a renewed attack of the Pan-Ameri-
 oh afr iph a 11s points lower. Rubbers still felt the depressing effects of tire cuts, Kelly Springfield showing a loss of nearly 115 points at the close. Pacific Oil and Standard Oil of California were heavily sold at the close, each dropping about 2A points on reports that the latter might be compelled to give up it's holdings in the area under Senate investigation.
 Some of the high spots in the indus trial list included Houston Oil, Otis Elevator, Fisher Body and South Porto Rican sugar, up two to four points.
 A further remarkable rally in sterling, which carried demand bills above $4.35, an overnight gain of five cents, was the feature of the foreign exchange market. French francs again sold above 4.70c and other European rates improved in sympathy
 Call money opened at AZ, decreased to A. and thence to 4, reflecting the passing of month-end requirements for funds. Time money continued firm, with the market still on a A per cent basis. The commercial paper market was dull, prime names commanding "A per cent.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1s-Bond prices pressed firmly upward today, with . ss0ns .t and M pts assvy Gf ths French munition issues, which recorded gains of from one to two points. Serbian ss again led the entire market in turnover, but after advancing to a price 10 points above last weeks low yielded part of their gain.
 Pronounced strength of Liberty bonds sent several issues on new high, and the rise was accompanied by Q widen ing demand. Heavy buying of the el treasury notes developed, traders ex- planning that their more distant ma that switching operations into this issue were taking place.
 Improved outlook abroad for a set- clement of the separations questions and prospects for resumption of trad ing relations between France and Ger many, together with the rise in ex-a change rates, helped the French bonds. United Kingdom 51ss of 1929 also were in demand as sterling advanced and gained a point. sr
 Buying of railroad issues was we'll distributed and prices generally moved up, the greatest strength being dis-s played in the obligations of roads suchc as Seaboard and International Great. Northern, in which favorable develop ments had been reported during the week.

BRADsTREET's REVIEW

BRADSTREET'S REVIEW
 NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-Bradstreets to- morrow will say:
 Irregularity characterizes the general trade and industrial situation and va ried degrees of activity are visible ac- cordingly as different trades are viewed. Briefly stated, activity seems most manifest in what might be called con- structive industries-iron, steel, coal, petroleum and in lumber, paints, hard ware and other lines of building ma terial. On the other hand, what might be described as the apparel trades cotton, woolens, silks and footwear seem to lag, and wholesale manufactur- ing lines unquestionably fell behind year ago in January. Retail trade un- der the spur of special sales" and cold weather had pretty good week, and here the conclusions seem to be that buying was slightly larger than that of January, 1922. In financial lines feeling IS cheerful, and with money in abun- Qant supply, sales of stocks and bonds are considerable in advance not only Of December, but also of January 1923
