STRONG UPTLJRNS
 OCCUR IN COTTON
Broadening Of Specula- tive Trade One Of Features Of Session

NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-Broadening of speculative trade and a strong upturn in prices were outstanding features in the cotton market today. The opening was firm at 8 to IS points advance. Subsequent demand ran January con tracts up to 24.S5 and March to 2475, or 55 to 61 points net higher. The close was very steady at net advance Of 51 to 58 points.
 From the start, there was little selling pressure in the market. The character of buying encouraged belief that part of the speculative interest prominent in stocks and grains for several weeks, at last had turned to cotton which, this far. has experienced no particular ad- vance in prices. The west and~ Wall street led in this buying movement W which was quite general throughout the forenoon. One Chicago group was said to have taken profits on grain holdings and switched it's interest to cotton. Very bullish news also was being wired by local operators to southern markets predicting a considerable advance in the near future in the belief that inn proyement in business, present and prospective, justified a higher price for cotton than that now current.
 Sales by local traders around the opening based on the idea that severe cold weather in the south was restrict ing the spread of boil weevil, were cov- cred late in the day at considerable loss.
 Liverpool was a good buyer and the fact that 172,000 bales of cotton were on shipboard at the close of the week awaiting clearance, pointed toward good export shipments for the balance of the month. A little southern selling at the advance was well absorbed and the market showed little reaction after the start, continuing it's upward movement practically up to the close, which was only few points under the highest of the day.

It was said that ppuinp to high price of wheat Chicago oornneission houses were advising their friends to get out of that commodity and into cotton.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON

NEW ORLEANS, Dee. N.-The cot ton market developed considerable activity today for a short Saturday session and prices were quiet and on the upgrade from the start. There was a good demand not only from the trade but from Wall street and western spec ulators, and also from foreigners. The stimulating influences were heavy ten ders for January contracts, which were absorbed, the activity and strength of stocks, the advance to new highs in grain, and the generally favorable char acter of weekly trade reviews. Prices reached the highs of the day right at the close, and active trading months showed net gains of 53 points.
 The local market started 16 to IT points above yesterdays close and the opening prices were the lows of the day with January at 24.03, March at 2418 and May at 24.48. The market continued to gather strength as the session proceeded and aside from a few minor recessions on realizing, prices were on the upgrade all through the days trading finally reaching the highs right at the end, January trading at 2444, March at 24.57 and May at 24.S7, or 55 to 56 points above the previous close. The close was verW steady, showing net gains for tn day of 49 to 53 points.
 It was reported that notices for 3,00C bales were issued here during the morn ing on January contracts and it is un- derstood that considerable more cotton will be rendered before the month runs out. Certificated stock here is now 101, ,911 bales and 1t is thought that practically all of-it will be rendered on January contracts. Fall River sales the past week totaled only 25,000 pieces of print cloths due largely to the holidays
 Sentiment at the close was decidedly bullish and most operators looked foI a higher market next week if the stock market holds. Exports for the day to. tailed 19,2S2 bales, of which Houston cleared 17,427 bales.

PURCHASE POWER
 OF FARMER DROPS
One Per Cent Decline Recorded r For November
fBy Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON. Dec. 27.-The pur- chasing power of agricultural products declined slightly during November, says the department of agriculture's Decem- Der summary of conditions. The pur- chasing power index figure, based on the combi4ed value of 30 products ex- changeable for non-agricultural goods, fell from 90 in October to s9 for Novem- Der. The 1913 figure, used as base, was 100.
 Decline in value of some farm prod ucts and increases in the cost to the farmer of other necessities were held responsible for the index decline. A slight gain in favor of the farmer had been recorded in October.
 Livestock and their products, except wool, stood at marked disadvantage in the general commodity market, the de- partment said, but a higher purchasing power next fall was forecast if hogs and beef cattle follow their previous value cycles.
