 Birmingham, December H.-Liverpool came about 3-64 below yesterday on con- tracts and 1-16 down on spots. We opened points down, sold back up to opening prices, and closed at a loss for the day of points.
 Bad weather seems to have set in over a large portion of the belt, and will likely check receipts. Should the movement show a falling off we will likely get much better market next week. The severe weather has mat terially interfered with telegraphic service today. and Houston es- innate Is not yet received. New Orleans expects Monday 13000 bales against S,299 and 14,357
 Wheat and corn were firm and higher around the opening, but prices weakened later and the close is down 1Ac on wheat, but slightly up on corn.
 Stocks opened weak, but the bank state ment was favorable and prices rallied, closing generally at gain of $1Q2 over yesterday.
