In the Stock Market
CBy Thomson & McKinnon)

NEW YORK, Jan. 30.-Leading
stocks moved forward today with a
more confident trend. The session
was. enlivened by the spirited up
turns of several speciality stocks,
which have been quite active of
late.
The market reflected much less
apprehension over the veterans bo-
nus controversy, the impression
growing that the measure may be
killed before reaching congress.
Remarks of leading executives in
connection with their annual earn
ingS statements appear to be clari-
flying the business situation with
regard to the outlook.
In some instances actual i'm
provement during the current month
is being pointed to.
The automobile news today was
more cheerful with manufacturers
generally noting increased sales and
arranging to expand operations
There were intimations that the
Ford Motor Company intends to in
crease production very shortly.
Should the automobile industry
get back into strides more nearly
normal, it would have most wide
spread effect, as perhaps no indus
try feeds so many dependent lines
of business.
The discordant note Of the day
was the lowering of the price of cop
per, but this seemed to have no
general influence. Technical condi-
tons favor the market, as reflected
by the loaning premiums of sevedal
stocks.
This indicated that the short in
tereSt had grown during the last few
days. Dislodging no liquidation.
naturally this interest was none too
comfortable aver the resistance
which the market displayed.
The fact that no substantial
liquidation was renewed, even in the
face of adverse developments, is re-
assuring and should prove strength
ening to investment confidence.
BY and large, the prospects of the
market appear favorable.

In the Cotton Markets
tRY Thomson & McKinncnl

NEW YORK, Jan. 30.-There was
a strong market in cotton this morn
ing, with prices up S 20 IL points.
The advance would have been
greater but for some heavy selling
of the March position.
This selling was gradually alb
sorbed by various spot houses. The
Liverpool market also showed
strength in the face of some setback
in the Indian political situation.
Mills in the south show a tendency
to the increased output and as the
textile business is carefully man
aged these days, they have, in all
probability, the orders for the goods
in hand.
The cause of the firm cotton
market, Notwithstanding profession
al pessimisn, must come from a
large trade short interest, due to
poStponing price fixing. In dull
periods, mills have been known to
sell contracts against unsold goods,
sound business procedure, if not
carried too far.
The market was quiet, with prices
at the high point of the day as the
second hour of the afternoon be-
gan. May contracts at 1866.
