NEW YORK, January 29.-The cot
ton market lost part of Fridays ad-
vance in todays trading. The opening
was slightly higher in response to
higher Liverpool cables, but prices
soon eased under realizing and South
ern selling, May selling off from
1882 to 1851 and closing at 1884.
The. general market closed steady, at
net declines of to Z points.
The opening was steady at an adj
vance of to points on over
night buying orders brought in by the
frner ruling of yesterday and local
buying inspired by the continued
Eteadiness of Liverpool. The advance
TO 1912 for March and 14,08 for Octo-
Der attracted considerable realizing,
: while there also was more Southern
selling. This soon satisfied the early
demand, and the market seemed SEN
s1tive to comparatively small selling
orders in the forenoon. May declined

but some of the sellers were talking
of a probable falling off in spot de-
nand next month, which appeared TO
be based largely upon the comparative
activity of recent demand to fill Jan

expressed in some quarters that spot

Private cables said there had been

NEW YORK, January 29.-Today's
Curb Market followed along a course
similar to that of recent sessions.
The greater array of securities
opened around the level prevailing at
Fridays close, while a few issues
demanded attention by advancing quo
tations materially.
Bancitaly Corporation rose to a
new high at 991a on an upturn of

has been stabilized This is only fac
ing a situation which has been known
for years. The gold franc has pur-
chasing power five times what it had
in 1923. This adjustment of the
money standard takes account at one
bound of the entire imitation of the
last 12i9 years. France will be back
to the gold basis when it disposes of
the American debt problem and some
think the recent gold transfers from
Paris to New York are preliminaries
o new effort at a settlement.
French government. municipal and
industrial bonds have been bought in
some instances at new record high
prices. Interest has been shown in
the successful fiotation of the new
Italian dollar loans, which have begun
to appear again on the market.
Cotton Tries Upward Turn.
The cotton market during the week
seemed to be giving some indication
of an upward turn after the long.
eWeary months of depression. II was
the old story of a market hardened
to bad, news reaching the stage where
it could not go down any further
and has therefore been looking for
every excuse TO move the other way.
Slowly but surely underlying senti-
ment in the cotton trade has been
gaining confidence. 1t has had a ter
rible blow but now feels that abso-
lutely all is known that can be known
in the shape of huge production and
big supplies.
The per cent call money rate
reached a week ago Friday seems for
the time being TO be bottom. This
figure has prevailed steadily all week
and so has the Az per cent for the
time loans.
There is no further interest at
the moment in the movement of
francs, but notice has been taken or
the quiet pressure, even if not very
pronounced. which has been observed
for several weeks against the Italian
Ira. The reason for this selling Is
obscure.
