NEW YORK COTTON.

New York Dec 22.-The cotton market
showed continued strength today with prices
again making new high records and closing
steady at u net advance OF 49I4 points. The
opening was firm at an advance Of 1910
points on renewal Of yesterdays buying
mivement which was encouraged by steady
cables and further reports Of better spot
demand. &a tijfsF -
Realizing was quite heavy at the initial
advance which carried most Of the months
well into new high grounds. but offerings
were remarkably we'll absorbed, and after
slight recessions the upward movement was
resumed, with January contracts selling at
10. 80 and May at 1874 during the after
noon. This reflected a net advance of about
1901 points on the active months. and
while there was change In the character
OF the news. profit taking became heavy
enough to cause reactions OF from 3@4
points In the late trading.
The chief influence in the advance appear.
ed to be the bulish character of the news
from Suothern spot markets. Quite gene

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

Chicago. Dec. 22.-Renewed LIQUIDATION
caused a further break in wheat prices to-
day. final prices being 10 sc below the
lcosinR quotations Of the previous session.
Coarse grain and provisions also closed
weak.
The wheat market was weak the entire
session owing to the general selling and
lack Of substantial support. The principal
factors were increased movement IN the
Northwest and prospects Of still more liberal
arrivals within the next few days. Renewed
talk of a settlement OF the railroad strike,
weak cables and poor demand for the cash
grain at nearly all the leading centers in this
country tended also to accelerate the down
ward movement During the day, December
sold between 81 lax and 81 Is. May ranged
between 81 10 and 81. IL y. The market
closed at almost the lowest point with De-
oember at 81 lax and May at ION.
Continued cold weather. which will have
tendency to greatly increase the movement
OF the crop of corn. inspired fresh
selling OF that cereal today, and resulted in
further declines in all deliveries. The slump
in wheat also had a depressing effect Prices
