OUTLOOK VERY BULLISH

New York, December 6-The cotton
market met renewed realizing after rather
an excited and higher opening, but held
generally steady and closed steady, net
unchanged to points higher. The mar
ket opened steady at an advance to u
points, with present crop positions gen.
orally to IL points net higher, in re-
Spouse to much better cables than ex-
pected buying orders which had accu-
INFLATED over the weekend and reports
of sensational strength in the market for
Egyptian cotton as a result of the short
crop.
Business was very active at the start
and there was good outside demand
which evidently reflected the advancing
tendency toward the end of last week,
and increasing confidence in a bul1ish
government estimate of the American
crop, but the initial bulge carried May
contracts to Is. SOC which was within 2
points of the high record for the season
and this level attracted a good deal of
realizing. Offerings we're not very ag-
gressive but local professionals seemed to
expect increasing efforts to take profits
on the long cotton before the govern
ment estimate was published and some
selling for turn under which the mar
ket reacted to about, or a shade under,
the closing figures of Saturday.
Reports of steady interior markets, the
light movement and continued scatter
ing demand, prevented any material
break, however. and prices at the close
were 4 or points up from the lowest
on the later months. Southern spot mar
kets officially reported early were I'M
changed to " cents higher; private Liver
pool cables said that the excitement In
Alexandra, accompanied by an advance
of cent pound in Egyptian cotton had
communicated itself to the continent
After the closing at the regular hour

will reopen at 3:45 o'clock and remain
open until 8 p M, in order to trade on

Cold Weather In Argentina Is

BUYING IS VERY HEAVY

Chicago, December 6.-Reports of frost
in Argentina caused a sharp advance in
wheat prices here today. final quotations
showing net gains of 1c to 1ssc. Corn,
oats and provisions also scored substan-
tial gains.
The crop scare from Argentina injected
a vast amount of buying into the wheat
pit about the middle of the session, al
though the market earlier in the day had
displayed moderate firmness. Early adj
vices from Argentina told of a return of
the wet weather, which would delay har-
svesting, and this, together with firm
cables, had inspired considerable cover
ing by shorts during the first hour. The
liberality of worlds shipments, the move
ment for the week ending about 5000, 600
bushels in excess of the figures for the
tendency to hold buyers in check early
In. the day
Demand for the December and May
deliveries was about equally urgent dur
ing the last half of the session. The
former month ranged between s106 and
s1.O7ss, which May sold between s1.0s and
$l.071a. The market closed strong at al
most the top. December being at s107ls
and May at SLOTS.
The corn market displayed remark
able strength considering tho material
drop in temperature over the corn belt.
Despite increased receipts here, cash
houses and shorts were active bidders
for corn nearly all day and sentiment
in the pit was bulish from start to fin
ish The market closed strong with
prices 1xQssc to &c higher
Brisk demand for cash oats caused
strength in the market for that grain.
Cash interests were active bidders for
the December delivery. At the close
prices were AQssc above Saturdays final
figures.
Provisions were strong throughout the
entire session, owing to buying brought
out by exceptionally light receipts of
live hogs at all western packing centers.
Total receipts of hogs today throughout
the west were estimated at 5000 head
compared with 1850 head the cores
ponding time last year. The market
closed strong with prices 10Q3Os higher.
Leading futures ranged as follows:

Hubbard Bros. G. Co.'s Letter.

New York. December Especial 1.-The
sharp advance In Liverpool was due to
heavy continental covering of the cotton
sold during the past fortnight on the
larger crop estimate of NELL. On the
advance there was continuous selling to
take profits from the bulls, which sup
piled the arbitrage demand. This was
the main feature of the day in a quiet
market az the trade will not take an ac-
tive interest until after the bureau re-
port. which Is expected to be a bullish
one, Judging from the estimates coming
from private sources. At the close the
realizing had caused the market to lose
half the advance but no decline is ex-
pected abroad tomorrow.

for increased wages, such as give hope
of compromise without costly interference
of traffic. The high cost of living is
given as an Indication of a likelihood
that higher wages may be conceded, al
though 1t is pointed out that reductions
were not made In the late period of de-
preston. In the present instance there
Is an obvious hope that higher wages
and higher freight rates may come hand
In hand. The tranquility with which the
market views the subject is partly due
to this opinion.
There were transfers of currency again
to San Francisco and foreign exchange
rates held at a figure where more gold
was engaged for South America. Money
rates were not changed but money brok-
ers reported some time loans on special

LACK OF SUPPORT
IN STOCK MARKET
Hesitation and Weakness Are
Features of Session
TRADING is VERY DULL
american Sugar Makes Sudden Drop,
But Rock Island Advances to
New High Record for
That Stock.

New York December 6.-Hesitation and
ronstraint made themselves felt In the
stock speculation again today following
the volatile movement of Saturday. Ex-
PLANTATION af the action of the market
was somewhat obscure. Tt was suspected
that a process of distribution of stocks
under cover might be going on for ac-
count of some of the most important
financial interests. Opinion on this point
was confused by the appearance of al
most equally important operations in ap-
pearance on both sides of the market.
That the appearance of things was de-
signedly confused was taken for granting
the abundant resources that were dis
played In the work of forming this APP
pearance made the smaller following of
habitual traders very wary in extend
ing their operations.
The dullness into which the market fell
from time to time was due partly to
large reduction of the outstanding short
interest by the covering operations re-
Eponsible for the buoyant rise In prices
Saturday. The actual assembling of
Congress- although the days session was
perfunctory had Its usual restraining eff
feet on the speculative spirit.
1t was understood at the outset that
the Presidents message would not be
presented and the stock market believed
itself to be accurately informd on the
contents of that document. The sooth-
Ing effect of that supposed knowledge
was somewhat impaired by an intimation
that 1t was to be followed at an early
date by other special messages, devoted
more exclusively to the topics In which
the stock market takes a particular in
terest. There was not so much conf
dence in what might be the contents of
these still unwritten messages.
Another sudden drop in American
Sugar showing lack of support for that
stock was regarded as suggestive and
helped to prompt a selling movement
