}a * slowing down of business as it
is felt that prices have been moved up

pieces of print cloths in Fall River
this week denote the slackened demand.
In worth street the price of goods is
down to 10% cents for the basia con
struction or % off from the high which
more than corresponds with the lower
price of cotton from the extreme highs
based upon tonight’s forwardings from
Liverpool to that market this week.
Those favorable to the market believe
that purchases should be made bn re

on bulges are advisable. We favor
purchases on reactions.
ORVIS BROTHERS AND COMPANY.
BRADSTREET’S REVIEW.
NEW YORK, Feb. 2.—Bradstreet’s to
morrow will say:
Events of the week have been mainly
favorable, this characterization at least
covering fairly well most domestic
happenings. Spring trade with jobbers
At the larger cities has expanded, col
lections are a little better, and indus
try has kept up the fast pace previous
ly noted. Relatively, most activity is
noted in large eastern markets and in
central and southern centers. Retail
trade has, relatively speaking, tended
to lag, which is only natural at this
season, but still exceeds a year ago,
and reports from the large markets
were quite unanimous that January
showed a big surge forward in jobbing
and wholesale buying as compared with
January a year ago, gains of 25 to 50
per cent, being instanced.
Weekly bank clearings 57,025,243,000.
«KW VOK.lv BU.l LIS. ,
NEW *ORK, Feb. 2.—All classes of
bonds registered considerable gains in
today’s market, foreign securities lead
ing the advance in response to further
marked improvement in exchange rates
and more hopeful news from abroad.
French 7%s and 8s closed higher and
more than a score of active railroad
mortgages closed higher, some of the
leaders being Union Pacific 4s, Dela
ware and Hudson refunding 4s, Illinois
Central refunding 4s, Virginia Railway
6s and Central Paciflo 4s. Northern
Pacific refunding 6s and Atchison ad
justment 4s, stamped, were heavy.
Sugar company liens made the best
showing in the industrial group.
Liberty 3%s dropped 10 cents on $100
but the other active United States gov
ernment advanced 4 to 14 cents. Total
sales, par value, were $11,673,000.
DRY GOODS MARKET.
NEW YORK, Feb. 2.—Cotton goods
markets were steady today with the
buying of finished goods more active
than unfinished lines. Yarns were
steady, sales of knitting yarns being
more active. Silks were steady. New
lines of fancy worsteds are being
bought. Burlaps were irregular. Job
bers reported a steady trade.
COTTONSEED OIL.
NEW YORK, Feb. 2.—Cottonseed oil
advanced 6 to 8 points early on scat
tered buying by commission houses and
shorts, but later weakened under sell
ing by refiners and local pressure,
prompted by the easier ruling in lard.
Final bids were 7 to 9 points net lower.
Sales 9,400 barrels. Prime crude 10.00
asked; prime summer yellow spot 10.76:
March 10.83; May 11.17; July 11.31, all

News of Markets—Cotton-Money-Grain-Stocks
COTTON
NEW toRK, Feb. 2.—The cotton
market showed a decidedly firmer tone
today as offerings were generally light
and a slight opening decline was fol
lowed by advances. May contracts sold
up from 27.46 and closed at 27.90 with
the general market closing steady at
net advances of 24 to 38 points on the
old, and of 4 to 17 points on the more
active new crop positions:
The market opened steady at a de
cline of 1 to IS points which Was only
a partial response to relatively easy
Liverpool cables. Offerings were con
sidered light enough to suggest that
the market had been pretty well liqui
dated before the close of yesterday,
and prices quickly turned firmer on
covering and renewed reports of trade
buying. Steadier late cables from Liv
erpool aocompanied by rumors of a
more favorable turn in near eastern
affairs and the steadier tone of foreign
exchange rates probably increased the
disposition of recent sellers to coyer
or replace long lines and there were
comparatively few contracts for sale.
The market consequently, responded
quite readily to moderate buying or
ders, .and while there were spurts of
realising on renewed liquidation dur
ing the afternoon the advance ext^hd
ed to 27.65 for March and 27.45 for July
during the afternoon. The supply of
contracts seemed to Increase somewhat
as the market approached the 28 cent
level for May, and there may have been
a little selling on the smaller spinners’
takigg for the week, but offerings were
readily taken and last prices were
within a point or 2 of the best.
New crop positions were relatively
quiet and seemSd to be held back by
continued talk of new crop proportions
erpool-jsaid the earlier declines there
were due to a less active spot demand
and further liquidation but that ral
lies had followed on covering.

* NEW ORLEANS COTTON.
NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 2.—Covering of
the recently created short interest was
the dominating factor in making prices
in the cotton market today. On Lie
opening there was a break of 4 to 13
points but this was quickly replaced
by a net advance which gradually was
widened. Heaviest buying was met in
the early afternoon and it put prices
16 to 36 points higher than the close
of yesterday, Match rising to 27.44 af
ter having traded as low as 26.93 a
pound. On the close March stood at
27.38 with the list at net gains of 12
to 31 points.
Covering by shorts appeared to be
stimulated by reports of a very strong
spot situation in the Interior and by
favorable rumors from both Liverpool
and, London, concerning the attitude
of the Turks toward allied proposals.
The opening decline was due to a poor
Liverpool market and to further rains
in the Western cotton belt. Around the
middle of the day small recessions oc
curred. of about 10 points, because
the rather small mill takings, 217,000
bales for the week against 240,000 this
week last year.
October, the only really active new
crop position lagged behind the old
crop at the advance because of scores
of messages from the belt, particularly
the western portion to the effect that
crop preparations were well advanced,
and that the indications were a con
siderable increase in the acreage. Oc
tober was under no selling pressure
but it did have the strength of old crop
positions.

STOCKS
NEW YORK, Feb. 2.—Encouraged by
several construction developments, in
cluding a further . brisk recovery in
foreign exchange and foreign bonds
and higher prices for steel products,
Mid-Continent crude oil and sugar,
speculators had little difficulty in bid
dins up prices In today’s stock market
The demand embraced very nearly all
.aebtiohs of the list but was most ef
fective in the steel equipments, oils,
sugars and food specialties. Railroad
shares also made marked progress but
-the gains were less extensive than
;th«se .in the Industrial group.
Thetfe were a few isolated weak
spots, notably Allies Chalmers pre
ferred, "Soo” preferred^ Virginia Caro
lina Chemical and Brooklyn Union Gas.
United States, Crucible, Gulf States
and Republic Steels moved up. Buying
of this group was stimulated by the
announcement of higher prices for
tubes and the predictions of additional
Increases by Elbert H. Gary, chairman
of the United States Steel Corporation.
Baldwin was of the most active of
the standard industrials and other
equipments improved in sympathy.
Squeezing of the recent short inter
ests In Fisher Body was reflected in a
jump in that stock of 12% to 165. Oils
were heavily bought, some of the lead
ers being Pan-American “A” and “B”
California-, Petroleum, Phillips Petro
leum and Royal Dutch. American Beet
Sugar led the advance in those shares.
Some of the other industrial strong
SDOts included Associated Dr. Goods.
Chicago and Eastern Illinois Railroad,
Postum Cereal, Nash Motors and United
Retail stores, all up 2 to 3 points.
Foreign exchanges were strong. De
mand sterling sold around 4.67; French
francs* gained 32 points to 6.24 cents,
and Belgian francs were up 36 points
at 5.47%. German marks were quoted
at .0027 cents.
Day’s total sales 836,000 shares.
Twenty Industrials averaged 98.70;
net gain .99.
High 1922, 99.42; low 96.96.
Twenty railroads averaged 86.63; net
gain .66.
High 1923, 87.20; low 84.S3.
