NEW YORK. Feb. 15 UP) Cotton futures closed 25 cents a bale high er to $1.45 lower today. Old crop months held relatively well on extensive trade covering with new crop months a target for selling. Some traders were inclined to take profits, following recent market advances.

Uncertainty over the new farm bill was also a con sideration. Memphis interests were credited with buying October and December actively. Toward the close, buying of nearby March against sales of October developed in volume, with one trade house estimated to have done about 5.000 in that operation The New York Cotton Exchange Service Bureau estimated domes tic cotton consumption at 765,000 bales, bringing indicated consump tion for first 26 weeks of the sea son, July 31-Jan. 28. to 4,691,000 bales.

This was 278.000 bales ahead of the similar period last year.

In 4tli Army STOCKS NEW YORK. Feb. 15 UP Volume soared three million shares for the first time in four months as a general advance swept the stock market today. The report from President Eisenhower's physicians that he could be active "for another five or ten years" was enough to pile up a batch of overnight orders. In the initial splurge of buying prices leaped ahead from 1 to 6 points in leading issues and the ticker tape, which reports transactions, lagged behind by as much as three minutes.

But activity slackened gradually as the session wore on an dprices softened as volume fell off. By the close the gains among key stocks ranged from 1 to about 3 points. The Associated Press average of 60 stocks, which had gained $2.50 at noon, slipped back to a gain of $1.90 at the close. The industrials were up $3.30, the rails $1.50 and the utilities 40 cents.
