MOBILE, Ala, Jan. 22.-(special Leased wire.)-Coming in to Mobile as scheduled, the American motorship suphenco. owned and operated by tho Transmarine corporation, arrived from Port Arthur. Tex, and went into the city wharf for loading berth. The suphenco will sail Thursday prob ably, and will lift general cargo for Port Newark, the industrial port of the east.

Another fruiter, the Norwegia. steamer Smaragd, which went off chartered to the United, shifted to Todd dry docks, where she will lay up.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON


 NEW. ORLEANS, Jan. 22.-Higher prices in cotton today resulted mainly from a more cheerful view of English conditions. Continued cold weather over the belt caused more or less buy ing and reports of somewhat larger turnovers in some of tae American demand. Highest prices came before noon, March rising to 33.25c and Octo- Der to 2754c a pound. In the second half of the session scattered selling caused small recessions and this sell ing appeared to be based on ginning expectations. The close was to 35 points net higher on the day, the sale of March being at 33.14c and of October at 27.33c.
 Regarding the last of the regular semi-monthly ginning reports of the season, which is dhe on the opening tomorrow, the trade was rather in clined to reject recent private estimates of around 9,900,000 bales as being too low. More conservative ideas were that at least 9,950 900 bales would be return ed as ginned to the 18th of January. It was considered that such a figure would be in line with the governments s estimate of total crop of 10,0s1 ,000 bales.
 The opening was higher in sympathy with a. strong Liverpool and with mes sages from that market to the effect that now that the worst was known regarding the political situation in Great Britain, the tone all around was more cheerful. Early gains amounted to 2S to 45 points. In the early after noon the market was at it's lowest, 61 points up to one point down, compared with the last sales of yesterday.

NEW YORK, Jan. :2.-stock prices ,irregulariy higher in today's curb market, with special strength de- veloping in a number of oil shares as a result of higher crude and gasoiine prices.
 standard oil of Ohio jumped seven points to 232, Atlantic Labos preferred advance1 six. points to 15 and Con- Oil, Illinois Pipe, Solar Refin- ing and Vacuum moved up to 3k. Standard Oil of Ncoraska spurted nine points above yesterdays final to 256 and then broke to 245, off two. Other oil shares held steady.

PREVIOUS DAYS
 LOSS REGAINED
Cotton Market Closes Steady At Net Advances Of B To
 fl Points

NEW YORK, Jan. 22.-The cotton market just about recovered yester- days losses during today's trading. March contracts, which had sold off to 32.6Oc on the decline of the previous day and closed at 3272c, advanced to 200 during today's trading, or AS points net higher. March closed at 33 orc, with the general market closing steady at net advances of 32 to Al points on present crop position and net unchanged to 17 points higher on later deliveries.
 vance of 20 to 34 points op relatively steady Liverpool cables, early advances in foreign exchange rates and bullish overnight spot advices from the south. Realizing was sufficient to cause some irregularity during the early trading, but offerings were comparatively Light. and the market developed increasing firmness during the middle of the day on continued bullish southern spot ad- vices and the talk of a firm technical position. May sold up 33.42c and July to 32.35c, making net advances Of about 47 to 50 points on these posi- tions, while October sold at 2S.06c or 31 points net higher. Rumors that Car olina mills were about to curtail opera tions and that 1t was not so easy to sell spot cotton caused a furry of real izing during the early afternoon and moderate reactions, but the market was steady in the late trading and closed within 10 to 15 points of the best. Price cables from Liverpool were rather encouraging, but as to pros- poets for an early ending of the strike and the British political situation. Both Liverpool and London were credited with buying in the local market dur ing the morning. General business was comparatively quiet and may possibly have been restricted to some extent by uncertainty as to the showing of to- morrow's ginning report. Local brok- CTS expect this to indicate ginning of about 100000 bales for the last period, compared with 31 900 last year. Exports today were 4,619 bales, making 3,744,- 205 so far this season.

CHICAGO, Jan. 22.-Wheat-Limited trade with values steady to strong as a reflection of the firmness at Winni- peg and because of local buying, in- spired by small contracts and bulge in corn. On the upturns there was selling through commission houses, some of it believed to be against pur- chases in northwest. Market closed at the high point of the day.
 Corn-Mixed trade largely between locals, with buying little better than the selling. Undertone strong and what little commission house trade there was favored the buying side. Corn looks purchase on all dips.

SEVERAL ISSUES MAKE NEW HIGH Fresh Buying In Oils On Reports Of Higher Prices For Crude
 Products

NEW YORK, Jan. 22.-Reactionary price movements prevailed in today's active market, which was featured by heavy speculative selling of Sinclair oil, which broke more than three points to PEA and then rallied to 23%, the days sales exceeding S0,000 shares, or about one-twelfth of the total volume of business.
 Marked Buoyancy again developed, however, in some of the high-priced in dustrial specialties. General Electric continued it's rapid advance, touching 217, a new high since 1902, and then easing to PA, where it was up three points on the day. Corn Products also touched record top at 172, but it slipped back to 169h, off "A on profit taking. National Lead hit 1854 and then sagged to IA, up one.
 Fresh buying came into the domestic oil group on the announcement of higher prices for California and Wyoming crude products and another series of gasoline advances in various sections of the country, but the early gains were not maintained. Producers and Refiners was pushed up to 43l2 and then slid back to 41A, up 4, while Standard Oil of California fell from e5ss to 64%, where it was up F.. Pacific and associated oils closed fractionally lower following the denial of merger reports by President Shoup of the Pacific company. Pan-American is sues, which have been adversely af- fected by the Mexican revolution and the Senate investigation of oil leases, continued to lose ground, the "A" stock dropping $ and the "B" 2.
 Reports of higher pig iron and scrap prices at Chicago were responsible for temporary display of strength by the steel shares, but they sagged with the rest of the list in the late trading. United States Steel common went to 101H, but closed below par. Copper shares held relatively firm on the esti mate of leaders of the industry that the regulations promulgated by rail- road bodies with respect to automatic train control will require upwafd of 225 million pounds of copper in tho next two years.
 - Brooklyn Manhattan Transit pre- ferred established q record high at 53 in speculative expectations of an early Inauguration of dividends. Strength of American Hide and Leather preferred was associated with reports that con- trol was being sought in the open mar ket. Several strong shots developed in the merchandising group, notably Woo1worth, May Department Stores and National Department Stores.

NEW YORK, Jan. 22.-Stocks did better at the opening today, with the exception of Sinclair oil, which was weak in consequence of the published testimony in the Tea Pot Dome inves- tigation. American Can was one of the strongest features, reaching 1081<, while General Electric, Corn Products and Otis Elevator continued in demand. After the first hour, weakness devel
 oped in the general list, led by de- clines in Studebaker and Pan-Ameri- cans. Weakness in Studebaker Is at- tributed to selling by a stale long in- terest which had become tired of car rying it, added to which there has been considerable short selling There were several different movements dur ing the day in which both weakness and strength were displayed by diff ferent groups. After a rally about noon, the market turned again, clos ing mostly below last nights levels. Corn Products reached a new high at 172. Westinghouse was strong again at 65. Phillip Morris, which is said to be under accumulation, had a firm appearance. Maraciabo Oil also main tained very strong attitude. Sinclair remained under pressure all day, los ing about two and one-hak points. Sugars and rails were steady, but dull. United States Steel was strong in the early trading, but was subjected to con- siderable selling in the afternoon, los ing all its gain before the close. Final tone irregular. Total sales, 994 300 shares.-Fenner & Beane.
