- New York, Jan. 23.-Toward the close of
today's market prices swept upward to
the highest level on the present movement.
In a . few instances giini ran up to two
pbiuts or ' mdre. Southern Pacific rf sold
within a fraction of par and Atchison
crossed the 100 mark. Trading was again
inactive In both stocks and bonds.
. Prior to the final upturn, the course of
tbe?,riiarket was less snire. rrout 'taking' at
times . caused. - "reactions.: :? The undertone
was. ood however and the' jreneral ten
dency upward. Professional selling was
was apparent that the influences which
gave , the recent ' upward impulse had by
no mean lost their force. ,
Traders sold stocks .in the early ses
sion, believing that the extent of the rise
pointed to a . reaction. The administration's
anti-trust bills, f made public overnight,
were utilized by -bears, who contended
that , certain features were drastic enough
to cause misgivings. This view was not
generally adopted. Prices moved back and
forth within a comparatively : narrow
range, until buying broadened sufficiently
late in the; day to . make the upward
movement, irresistible. ;
: United States Steel was " helped by the
higher: prices for some steel . products.; lte
pirtsrf "better busine8S"'conditious - were
not confirmed, however, by the statisc of
idle freight cars, which showed a large
increase in the first half of the month.
December figures of domestic' expbrts re
vealed a falling off as compai'ed with tho
total for the last month of the preceeding
year, which was unusually large but the
L 1914 figures compared favorably with
earlier years.- : " n
- .-Another'- large cash gain was indicated
by . known. movements of currency for the
week. Estimates varied from $17,000,000
to $21,000,000. The advance on boiids
continued and some issues gained as much
as'. three points.-. Total sales, . par value

New York, January 23. Dun's
weekly review of -trade tomorrow will
say: . -.-..'..:' .. -.-i m',-.
"While there is tangible evidences of
continued expansion in general busi
ness, the betterment is not entirely
uniform. Advices from leading cen
ters are rather mixed, yet favorable
reports outnumber those of an: opt
posite character and sentiment i;;
more confident. In the important iron
and steel industry the' belief ! -is
strengthening that the turning point
has. about been reached V although it
is not expected that the recorvery from
previous- depression " wiil be rapid. -Labor,
however,4sr more fully employed j
mill operations" have increased ana
even if there has been no advance in
prices, further concessions are- not so
frequent. The former policy of the
railroads in holding back contracts is
somewhat less pronounced, and or
der sand specifications are coming for
ward with greater freedom than here
tofore. ;'''"C-"''";;'"'':Vl' "

WEEKLY COTTON REPORT.
Market Mas Shown a Generally Stea
dy Undertone.
New 'York, Jan. 23. The cotton
market has shown a generally steady:
undertone during the past week, al
though a tendency to take profits pre
ceeding . the report of the census bu
reau- on ginning . to January ; 16th,'
caused some irregularity, and its pub-,
lication this morning was followed by
considerable scattering liquidation
with, today's closing prices showing
reactions of 18 to 20 points from the
best. "The amount of cotton reported
ginned between January 1st and 16th
was evidently considered larger than
consistent with minimum crop views
based on the returns to the end of
December. The spinning value pt the
crop, however, is supposed to be con
siderably modified by lighter weight
bales, and an unusually large, propor
tion of -low grades or inferior staples
and a more optimistic view of proba
ble-mill requirements has led many
operators to place less stress "upon
differences of opinion regarding the
apparent volume of supply, with the
result that more attention is now en
gaged by the state of demand, Spend
ing the season for preliminary new
crop preparations; A further- easing
of foreign money markets; 'the increas
ed strength and activity of securities
and continued reports of a -good spoti
demand; m the South have been em
phasized -by those who are predicting,
that the season's requirements ' of :
American cotton will fully equal the
ftarlv; hiillifth nrpdfc'tioris: Rnllish sftri-
timent also seemed, to be encouraged1
by reports that leading trade interests
were free buyers on today's decline,.;
but-i there was : ; more bearish talK
around ' the ring after the close to
night than there had been early in
the week and people who had liquidate
ed recent purchases, seemed to ap
prehend that the increased view of
the crbo might unfavorably influence;
the attitude of spot business ' of re
maining- noiaers.' Aiucn ot tne -in
creased spot demand- reported during
theiWeek is -supposed ' to have conie
from exporters and local spot people
estimate ., that a large percentage of
this business, has represented the fill
ing rof old contracts for January ship
ment .rather than a fresh demand.
February is" usually a quiet mOnUi in
the spot department, and the attitude
of mills with reference to fresh busi
ness is ; expected to become- more
clearly -evident after r January ship
ments Tiave been 'completed. ' ;
