CHICAGO, Jan. 23-Very much the same
sort of a market was established in wheat to-
day that of Friday. There was a lot of
bearishness among local traders and several
times efforts were made to force a break in
the May prices under 1912, possibly with a
view to covering some short sales below that
level. The market closed with the short in
terest increased for the day and the May price
only Ac lower. Primary movement for the
week is more than 2,000,0O0 bushels under that
Of same week last year Possibly the market
might have little of the lower setback Mon
day, but it is just likely to become con-
gested and buyers on the breaks likely to
be in right.
Some of the receivers in the corn trade are
reporting more liberal offerings of in the
vest Several of the strong interests in the
local trade who. were aggressive the bear
side a week ago became active sellers again
today and this causd many of the smaller
buyers Of the week on the advance to take
profits.
Late in the season the oats market weakened
in sympathy with wheat and corn
Both early and late there more provis-
ions wanted by investors than was for sale in
the pit. Soft weather may affect movement
by making bad roads. Would not wait for any
decided break in provisions before buying for
recovery.

change, Bradbury building Los Angeles)
NEW YORK, JAN 23.-Liverpool cables were
strong and the cotton market opened active
and higher. The important influence today
was the census report showing amount ginned
to January 16 as 1861 900 bales This is
against 10, 339, ,551 last year. The market con-
tinued strong after the announcement of these
figures, but on the rally ran into heavy profit
taking, which checked the upward movement
Throughout the morning the market had a
very nervous tone, but later in the session was
steadier and showed a tendency to become less
active. Weekend statistics were considered
bearish as takings were not as large as anti
cipated, and visible showed good increase
against small decrease a year ago. Spot peo-
pie reported a rather poor demand and reports
regarding cloth situation were very ccntradic-
tory, indicating a spotted demand

|. A. STOCK EXCHANGE
VOTES LONG SESSION

Beginning tomorrow the sessions on the Los
Angeles stock exchange will be continuous
from 10 o'clock in the morning until in the
afternoon. This change was decided upon at
a meeting of the members held late yester-
day afternoon, when the report of the special
committee to this effect was adopted by a
vote of twenty-seven to seventeen. 1t is un-
derstood that in the opposition vote were in
cluded about ten proxies of members who were
unable to be present at the meeting.
Under the new rule that has been adopted
all orders in listed securities, with the single
exception of bonds must be executed on the
floor of the exchange.
An effort was made to have bank stocks ex-
empted also, but upon final consideration it
was voted to include these with the oils and
industrials. Although this system is in effect
on all the important exchanges of the eoun-
try, it is a new departure in Los Angeles and
the experiment will be watched with great
deal Of interest.
