COTTON RALLIES GOING OFF

NEW YORK, Dec. s1.-Early de- cllnes were followed by rallies in the cotton market today on covering for over New Years and scattered buy ing promoted by bullish southern spot advices and reports of an opti- March sold up from 35.02 to s6.71c 'or. 35 points net higher and closed at 35.60c with the general market clos- ing steady at net advanles Of to 2G points,.
 The market opened steady at . de- cline of to 12 points and sold about 24 to 40 points net lower during the early trading under pre-holiday liquidation and some scattered liqui- dalton of January. which appearedto be incident to the circulation of a few additional notices. January was relatively easy. declining to 34.55c or 47 points under March, to 34.25c. At S5.02c for March con- tracts, the market showed decline of HI points as compared with the high price touched on the advance of last week and at this figure there were indications of healthier tech nical position.
 Offerings became lighter and the buying orders. Naturally this tn- creased a disposition to cover short contracts in advance of the holiday and the buying became a little more active during the afternoon on re- ports of a continued good spot de- mand in the south. Part of the buy ing appeared to come from Wall street sources and may have been inspired by the reported firmness of the stock market which was at- tributed to an optimistic view of gen. eeral business developments after the first of the year. January sold up to 35.25o. May to l35.90c and July to 34s0c in the late trading, making net advances of about 20 to 40 points on the general list,
 The close was off from the best under renewed realizing. Owing to a continuance of the holiday there were no cables from Liverpool which will reopen for business on wednes- day morning. There were 33 January notices reported. making total of 146,000 bales rendered 50 far against January. Exports today. 55,l69. mak-' ing 3.292,449 so far this season against 2,S71.4 422 last year.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON FUTURES

NEW ORLEANS. Dec. 31.-The con tinued large export movement was the most powerful influence in cotton today, and 1t pulled prices up. to net advances after they had been forced well below the level of last weeks close by rather extensive Hquidation for long account. Toward the close the market lost head way probably on account of the holiday tomorrow. and last prices were 8 to 35 points net higher on the session. The last sale of March was at s5.6sc and of October at 2s.43c.
 Just on the opening call the near months were to points up. but later positions were. off and the whole list soon commenced to sag under selling out of contracts by traders on the long side many of whom appeared to be evening up for the purpose of arriving at income tax returns. The decline continued until 1t amounted to 27 to 40 points, with March down to s5c and October down to 2s.1sc.
 As the export clearances of the day commenced to be posted the trade took great. interest in the movement, which was larger than expected, and had the effect of materially raising estimates of the total movemenf for the season. Buy

that Canadian oats were continuing to
find ready outlet in New England.
Besides, weakness of the New York

bearish effect on grain.
