There'did not seem to be a great deal of support following the call and the market imm ediately weakened. catching stop loss orders on a scale down. This forced liquidation togeth CT with the absence of bullish aggressive ness, encouraged selling by local bears and during the afternoon the market was depressed also by cables that un- less operatives on strike at Oldham returned to work. within A reasonable dime all work in federated mills would cease.

 grain markets caused an advance of | wheat on the local exchange today. During the day the May delivery made net gain of 1-8 to IA. Corn was up 1-4 to $-s. Oats were s-s higher.
 The greater part of today's advance in wheat was scored in the first few minutes of trade. The market opened with May up 1-2 to 5-S to Is to 1-4c. Shorts were excellent buyers and there was also a brisk demand for invest ment account. Offerings, however, were light The reason underlying the demand was higher markets at Liver pool and Berlin due, it was stated. to small shipments during last week from Russia and light offerings from Argen- tina. The market was bullish the en- tire day, and closed steady. Reports from Winnipeg that arrivals there are grading low encouraged the bulls in the latter part of the day. May open ed 1-2 to 5-S to Is to IA higher at 102 IS to 102 3-4. Advanced to 103 1-8 and closed at 1o2 3-4. Clearances of wheat and fionr were equal to 554,90O bushels. The amount on passage de- creased 1,126.000 bushels and the visi- ble supply increased 2,045,000 bushels. Primary, receipts were 1.2o4.ooo bush els. against 1.244.000 bushels on the same day last year. Minneapolis, Du- lutL and Chicago reported receipts of 71l cars, against $40 cars last week, and 7S1 cars one year ago. The corn market was strong in sympathy with wheat but bullish sentiment was modi- fled somewhat by the expectation of liberal offerings in the near future. The Illinois crop which showed the new crop to be 8S per cent of a normal yield was bullish factor. The close was firm. May opened IA to 3-S to 5-S to S-4 higher at 57 5-S to 5S. sold off to 57 3-S to 1-2 and closed at 57 5-S. Local receipts were PA cars with II of contract grade.
 Oats were firm all day but forecast of heavy receipts for tomorrow weak ened the market near the close. May opened 1-S to 1-4 higher at 54, ad- vanced to 54 5-S and closed at 54 1-S to IA Local receipts were 150 cars.
 Provisions were weak early In the day because of reported heavy receipts of live hogs. The market strengthened on the announcement that the arrivals had been heavier than expected At the close May pork was up at 1920. Lard was of 1-2 at 7.92 1-2. Ribs were a shade higher at TOT 1-2.
 Estimated receipts for tomorrow: Wheat, 43, cars; corn, 407 cars: oats, 363 cars; hogs, 10000 head.

 the current % month at one time having nrs than thirty points on January, Another un- favorable development wass the unlocked for large increase in receipts. New Orleans and Galveston combined exceeding S9,00O tomorrow, against 4s.563 last year. indcat- ing total for all ports tomorrow of about ports since Friday by close of tomorrow up to last years figures of 196,000. These large deliveries do not seem to be at the principal points showing gain thus far this week of 5000 vs. an increase of 1000 one
 Consequently a more liberal movement
 for the week than has been the case hereto
 fore can reasonably be relied on. As to suggests that they will be much smaller than those of the corresponding week of last season, probably by 100000, New Eng land being practically out of the market; as to conditions in the local spot market there is decidedly more cotton offering at easier prices. and the trading basis with the rive. notwithstanding the decline in futures which is looked upon as an unfavorable fea- ture.
 The only salvation for the market lies the possibility of next Fridays census re- port on quantity of cotton ginned to De- cember 18th. being bullish.
 Probabilities, however. that it will not be small as last weeks forecast by a prom inent New York operator who placed the probable amount ginned during the last period. December 1st to 18th at 725,000. which would bring the total amount up to only 9,063, ,000.
 Some of the advices received from some points in Mississippi and Alabama, tell of there having been more ginned in sections cited last period than was ginned last pe- riod. in some instances more than last year. conservative estimate would place the probable amount ginned during the last pe- riod of this year at about S46.000 bales. which was the average of the past two years.
 This would compare with 1,0s5. 900 last season and 6os.000 season before last, and would make the total ginned to the 18th instant figure about 9,1s4, 900 bales. compar- ed with .00O in 1906 and s,2es, 900 in 1905. A report showing s.2o0.0 ginned to December 18th, would be about as expected less than s,1oo,0oo would probably be con strued bullish. of 9.3oo.0o0 or more probably bearish temporary.

Another bearish factor was presented by the circulation of some December notices. which failing to be stopped, had the effect of effacing the pre- vailing premium on teh current month and weakening the entire future list. Reports of larger wagon receipts at interior points also aided in bringing about a recession in values. and at the close. which was steady. prices ranged from twenty-five to twenty eight points below the close of yesterday.
