sible regulation of speculative dealings in futures. This was accompanied by inti- nations of an early submission to Con- gress of the special messages of the President dealing with the measures for eign to corporations. These considera- tions and the continued preparations for the annual money settlements kept the stock operations under restraint. This restraint, while keeping dealings small, did not depress prices. The small harm done by the Rock Island furry yesterday was made a negatively favorable influ- ence as demonstrating the strength of the speculative position. Examination of a relaxation in money markets after the turn of the year persists.
 Individual stocks advanced briskly from The coppers were strong and were in- fiuenced by the rise in the London price of the metal.
 The quick sale of the Delaware and Hudson refunding bonds by the bankers who took them from the company made a good impression on the investment sit uation, although the general bond mar ket continued dull and unresponsive.
 The failure to settle the switchmen's strike on northwestern railroads was dis cussed without causing any sign of ap- prehension in the stock market. The grain markets, however, were affected by fears of delay in deliveries.

WEAKNESS SHGWN IN WHEAT MARKET Bad Weather In Argentina Does
 Not Help Prices DEMAND Is FAIRLY GOOD Liquidation by Large Holders Makes Corn Decline and Wheat Slump
 Aids Thls-Oats and Provi-
 sions Also Close Weak.
DEMAND IS FAIRLY GOOD

Chicago December 2S.--Reports of un- favorable weather in Argentina gave the price of wheat strong start here today, but because of proht-talking the market declined sharply in the final hour of the session. Closing quotations showed net losses of 1sc to &@7sc. Coarse grain and provisions also developed consider able weakness and closed at about the cotton.
 The principal factor responsible for the strong opening in the wheat market was a dispatch telling of frost in the south ern portion of Buenos Ayres province, where the crop Is now within two weeks of maturity. Reports of rain in other sec tions of that country imparted additional strength. Demand was general the first half hour. with commission houses lead ing in the buying. Toward the middle of the day, however, sentiment in the pit changed to bearishness and prices slumped off severely.
 The decline in wheat was precipitated by the selling of the December delivery by prominent cash interest. This sell ing resulted in quite general realizing. The heayiness of the cash grain here was one of the chief reasons for the sell ing pressure. There was almost no de mand for the cash grain, on account of freight blockade, which will prevent any wheat arriving at elevators in time to be made into contract grade for delivery on December contracts.
 During the day December wheat sold between $1.17N and $1 .191a. May ranged between q .1Oss and $1.12$ The market closed weak at almost the lowest point.
 Liquidation by leading holders caused weakness in the corn market following moderate firmness at the start Shorts were fairly active bidders for the De- cember delivery at the opening, and caused an advance of i cent in that op- tion, but the bulge prompted liberal real izing, which soon caused a reaction. Dur ing the final half of the session the weakness became more pronounced owing partly to the slump in wheat. Prices at the close were as@ssc below the final fig ures of the previous day.
 Oats were fairly firm at first. owing to buying by cash interests. but the market finally yielded to the weakness Of wheat and corn. Closing quotations were g. shade higher to ho lower. compared with yesterdays close.
 Provisions at the start were firm be- cause of light receipts of live hogs throughout the west, but the market soon weakened on liquidation of January prod ucts. Prices at the close were 71a425c lower

NEW HIGH RECORDS IN COTTON MARKET Fresh Buying Is Attracted And
 Prices Go Higher REALIZING VERY HEAVY Trading Is Principally Confined to the Professional Element With Holi- day Influences Restricting
 Business.

New York, December 2S.--An early ad- vance to new high records for the season in today's cotton market was followed by moderate reactions during the middle of the session, but prices ruled frmer again In the late trading and closed steady at an advance of 2a4 points from last Thursdays close, with the active months 3 or points off from the best
 The opening was firm at an advance of 5Q2S points, with the more active posi- tions ranging from 15 to 2s points high- CT in response to better cables than ex- pected, and fresh buying attracted by the bulish developments preceding the holi- days. There was heavy realizing, part of which evidently resulted from a reduction in the lines of long cotton, but offerings were so readily absorbed by spot inter ests and shorts that after selling off about 10 to 12 points from the top, the market recovered most of the loss. Firmness in the southern spot markets and reports of an improved trade demand helped to 2 check the decline and cause the recov- cry in the late trading.
 While business was at times quite ac- tive, with the market showing more or less excitement. trading seemed to be chiefly for trade or professional inter ests. with holiday influences restrict ing the volume of outside operations. Liverpool explained the advance there on the ground of general buying in the absence of heavy offerings and foreign houses were buyers here, presumably for the purpose of covering straddles during the early trading. The demand from spot houses was supposed to be fin the way of covering hedges and, generally speak ing the result of the days trading in futures was supposed to be a reduction in outstanding commitments. Southern spot markets as officially reported early were hc to Ac net higher.
 Mills were said to be in the market for spot cotton; in some cases, asking for prompt shipments.
 Receipts at the ports today 3s,S42 bales, against 49,1o0 last week, and 61,oS7 last year. For the week, 225.oOo bales, against 2235S3 last week, and 2S6.T7 last year. Today's receipts at New Orleans, 5532 bales, against 1s,544 last year. and at Houston 12.24S bales. against 2o,ss4 last year.

ADVANCES SCORED 1 IN STOCK MARKET Prices Are Steady With Gener-
 al Interest in Buying GAINS MADE ALL AROUND Some Uneasiness Is Still Felt Regard ing the Rock Island Manipulation,
 But This Does Not Af-
 feet Prices.
GAINS MADE ALL AROUND

New York, December 2S.-In the stock market proper Rock Island fell into the background today after it's highly sen- sational performance of yesterday. Those performances left an impression on the minds of traders that security capable of such eccentric and inexplicable action might carry with 1t hazards in the hand ling which discouraged almost every one to experiment with 1t. As for the episode itself. not much fear was felt of direct consequences for harm from 1t since it was so soon over as to have prevented time for the operation's harmful influ- ences. The supposluon continued to gain force that reckless and blundering misap- plication of manipulative methods were at the bottom of the incident. On this supposition it would follow that the buy ing of the stock up to S1 came not from frightened shorts, but from the specula- tive party, which has managed the ad- vance. An operator short of the stock, unless he had been on the floor of the stock exchange, would not have had time to execute a buying order on the ad- vance, so quickly was it followed by the collapse For these reasons there was not the fear of losses and danger of fail- ires likely to be caused by the operation of an ordinary stock corner. For the wider and indirect consequences likely to result from the episode, there was a feel- ing of anxiety.
 Tho matter having taken on the pro- portions of a scandal and the stock ex- change committee appointed to investi- gate 1t being engaged during the day in the work. the subject was kept in a con- Epicuous place in the days events. It was remembered that the Hughes com mission in it's investigation of exchanges had secured assurances from the stock exchange authorities of their confidence fn their ability to control and prevent fla grant manipulation. such as led up to theA. O. Brown & Co. failure in 1908 and to the appointment of the state commis- sion. It was the character of these as- surances that influenced the commission to recommend against attempts to regu- late abuse by legisition. The fact that these regulations are still in the hands of the governor and subject to further action, increases interest in the matter on the part of the stock market element.
 From Washington also came report that the federal authorities were showing renewed interest in the question of pos

New Orleans Cotton Market.

New.Orleans, December 2s.-Spot cotton steady. 3-16c higher; middling. 155ac. Sales on the spot, 12o0 bales to arrive 250.
 Futures opened steady at an advance of fl to 1j points on favorable cables. The market was very steady within a few points of the opening level all day. First prices were almost the highest of the day. the list at the top standing 16 to IS points over last weeks closing. Longs took profits steadily all day, and this held the market in check. Buying was chiefly from exporters, spinners and others who were hedging against their wants in spot cotton, and from shorts who were nervous over tho growing bull lishness of English and continental traders as evidenced in the private mes- saRes they sent to this market Leading
