BUSINESS IS NOT LARGE

New York, December 1.-The cotton
market was quiet but generally steady
today, on covering and fresh buying for
long account, which seemed to be largely
inspired by reports of lightweight bales
from the south, and claims OF better
spot demand. The close was steady at a
net advance of 10 to 10 points.
The market opened steady at an ad-
vance of to 5 points in response to bet
ter cables than due. There was nothing
like aggressive bull support in evidence
and outside business was light, but SELL
ers were at no time aggressive and the
market gradually improved on covering
by recent sellers and moderate buying by
people who seemed to be Influenced by
the reported strength of the spot situa-
ton in the interior, talk of a better de-
mand for the southern mills and nu-
merous advices from various sections of
the south claiming that the bales were
running as iglht as 425 to 40 pounds on
the average. After selling up to ID. Acc
for January and 14.94 for May, or about
IA to Is points above the closing figures OF
yesterday, there were slight recessions as

closed within or points OF the best.
Tho many reports Of lightweight bales
from the south is leading to theory that
ginning figures are misleading as to the
actual amount of cotton available, and
also as to the probable showing of the
government report, which estimates the
growth of the season in bales OF 500
pounds gross. Southern spot markets Of
ficially reported early were generally I'M
changed. Cables from Alexandria re-
port that the Egyptian crop is estimated
at five and a quarter to five and a half

in years.

Combinations Have Effect of
Creating Activity In Stocks.
'UMORS OF MORE DEALS

New York, December 1.-Prices of
stocks had a substantial rally today, in
accordance with the general expectation
pr the professional element in the spec
ilation. A general demand to cover out
standing shorts came from the bears
Rnd the withdrawal of selling pressure
marked the subsistence of apprehension
felt for several days past over the anti
trust programme at Washington on the
completion of such liquidation as was
felt to be commensurate with the situa-
zion.
Another influence in the upward reac-
ton was the formal action by the House
OF Lords in London in applying the bud
get decision to the electorate. The ef
affears have been SO much dreaded that
a sense of progress overestimated the
confidence in the presence OF the actual
event. The opinion holds that the steps
made necessary in British fiscal affairs
by this action as well as the unsettling
influence on public sentiment OF the grave
governmental issues involved are destined
Vo nave restraining euect on nHdHclal
markets for some time to come.
The same mixed view may be said
Ito hold on the longer outlook in the cor
poration regulation question in this coun-
try. Something was made today of a re-
port on the intention of the department
lof Justice at Washington to ask for a
lpostponement of hearing in the Ameri-
can Tobacco case before the supreme
court, which was set for. December ID.
The first view of this seemed to be of
aputting off of an evil days from the
stock market standpoint This view was
modified by the expressed eagerness of
corporation reports for as early a con-
Iclusion as possible for the pending cases.
Another factor In the easier feeling
regarding the legislative prospect was
the reported expression of confidence on
1.-THE part of congressional leadership IN
la substantial agreement between the ex-
lIcutive and Congress for the presenta-
Ition of radical measures
The demand for stocks which was at
Itributed principally to the uncovered
lshorts was somewhat desultory in char
Iacter and showed some hesitation at the
higher price levels and with the pas

mors. These centered conspicuously about

WEAKNESS SHOWN

TRADING FAIRLY QUIET

Chicago, December 1.-The wheat mar
ket here developed decided weakness to-
day, prices at the close showing losses
of ss@%o compared with the final figures
of the previous day. Corn and provisions
also closed weak, but oats were steady.
The walkout of switchmen on several
of the western roads, the cause of a sharp
bulge in wheat prices in the final hour
yesterday, failed to affect the market to-
day as a bullish factor, but on the other
hand it was used as bearish infiu-
ence. Aside from a mild furry in the
December delivery at the start the market
was inclined to be weak all day. Deliv-
cries of only 10000 bushels on December
contracts brought out some covering by
shorts during the first few minutes,
which caused 1ac advance in December.
but demand was soon satisfied, and prices
again declined on profit-taking. Weak
cables, favorable weather for harvesting
in Argentina helped create bearish senti-
ment. Trading in general was quiet. The
market closed at almost the bottom, with
December at $1.055s and May at $1.05asQ
1.0511
Despite unsettled weather in the corn
belt. sentiment in the corn pit was bear
ish all day. The heaviness of wheat was
the principal weakening influence. Alb
sence of shipping demand had q bearish
effect. The market closed weak, with
prices hc toN@%o lower.
Oats were relatively firm throughout the
entire session. A leading elevator inter-
est was a buyer of the May and Decem-
Der options, which> offset the weakness
of other grain. At the close prices were
unchanged to h9Ac higher.
Provisions were weak, owing to renewed
liquidation by local longs and because OF
selling by packers. The selling pressure
was especially heavy on pork, which at
the close showed decline Of Zoe to 471kc
compared with the previous close. Lard
and ribs closed 10c to 221Rc lower.

Hubbard Bros. G. Co.'s Letter.

New York, December 1.--(Special.)-
Tn ere was a little better inquiry for
cotton in Liverpool today which, while
not appearing in the sales. was felt
by the merchants. AS the offerings from
America were light Liverpool was bet
ter than expected an dour market
slowly advanced in face of realizing
sales some IL points, closing steady.
The realizing of the last few days has
been rather a surprise, as coming from
one of the largest bull houses. To us
the situation appears to be simply
question as to whether Europe will be-
come a buyer on the present light move
ment ana the predicted small ginners
report Should the spinners commence
buying the American markets will fol-
low. Liverpool should be somewhat
better tomorrow.
