NEW YORK, Jan. 15.-The feature in the cotton market today was the relative strength of new crop deiiv- cries, which were evidently influ- enced by complaints that continued wet weather was delaying farm work tober deliveries advanced to 2S.6s, or 1o1 points above the close of yes terday, and December showed even greater gains. selling at 2S.30, or 110 points net higher. There was selling of old crops months by buyers of these new crop positions. which led to . decided narrowing of the dif- ference between present and coming crop deliveries. but March advanced to s4.2s. or 7s points net higher. That delivery closed at 34.21, witt, the general market closing firm a; net advances of 55 to l1o points.
 The market opened firm at an ad- vance of 15 to s5 points. with the active months selling about 60 to 6S points net higher durinA the flrss few minutes on . furry of cover ing and fresh commission-house buy ing. inspirec by larger domestic con- sumption figures than expected. This early advance met . renewal of old long liquidation. and after the initial demand had been supplied prices
 
 complaints of . poor demand for cot ton goods and continued nervousness over European conditions no doubt contributed to the reaction. and the early advances were just about lost before the end of the morning. At around S3.7o for May contracts, how ever, there seemed to be some in- crease of trade demand. accompanied by reports that Japanese interests had been buyers of spot cotton in tho Carolinas. and the market firmed up again during the afternoon. Prices reached the highest levels of the day in tho late trading, with May selling at sl.45 and with the general list showing net advances of s5 to no points. Closing prices were within five or 10 points of the best. The census report showed 4e1,5so bales domestic consumption for the month of December. compared with 52s,432 last year. but was considerably above expectations. Exports today. 22.si2, making s.5s1,s67 so far this season. Port receipts. 8s.821. United States port stocks, 1,01o,75S.

.DEARTH OF CORN
 SENDS PRICES UP

Z CHICAGO. Jan, i5.-AbnormaI dearth of corn in the supplies Of grain arriving from thy country sent corn and oats up today to the top most prices yet this season. Corn finished unsettled 1c to 1M01xc net higher. May 7s% @ N to 7sN. Wheat sympathised with the oorh market advance and closed fir mat Mc to x c net gain, May s1.8S to $1.0sh and ? July $I.07x with oats Y to hc up, and provisions unchanged to 15c down. Aa f
 Brisk demand from live stock feed CTS appeared to be the main reason why receipts of corn here were con- tinuing at a minimum. In addition. the Pacific coast was said to be out bidding other sections and buying all the corn offered in western Me- braska. Besides, considerable ex- port business in corn was said to be in progress by way of the Gulf of Mexico. Meanwhile, messages were at hand from various points in Illf- nois and Indiana predicting that the movement of corn would be very small and asserting that most hold CTS were talking of $1 a bushei for : corn next summer. In this connection 1t was pointed ,out that although weather conditions have been perfect for a week there has been no coun- try selling of importance gsr
 The fact that the big winter movs- ment of the corn crop should be un- der way at present and that early estimates of today's arrivals in Chi cago put the total at fewer than ioV carloads did a. good deal to nft values here. Later estimates of the days receipts were larger. but were virtually ignored. 'sS
 Buying for northwestern interests helped to strengthen the wheat mar ket, Reports of lack of snow cover- ing for winter wheat counted also as a bullish influence.
 Provisions weakened in response to . decline in hog values. .

 NEW YORK, Jan. 15.-The market has been in a cautious frame of mind today with a lessened volume of trading. The general list has remained steady. but an other of the specialties, this time Conti- mental Can, had a sharp reaction such as occurred recently in Cast Iron Pipe. and this had some effect on trading. as indi- eating that some of the pools were over playing their hand. The main clements in the market, however, are the efforts be- ing made in Washington to advance the bonus bill and to embarrass the tax re- duction program. while weakness in ex- change has been.a caution signal from abroad. We must expect some anxious moments from Washington. and there may be Q good many changes in the rev enue bill before 1t is passed. but there is no reason to be discouraged about mat ters in Washington. and this afternoon there was a slight improvement in .. s.. abroad. due to vigorous steps by the French government to protect the franc. The market, however. for . while will probably be sensitive to both do- mestio and foreign developments. One good result likely to follow from the weakness in francs is . much more co- operative spirit by France attempting to reach a real settlement with Germany. The market may. drift for while but should be a purchase on reactions. Totai sales. 962.S0o.
