OFFERINGS WELL TAKEN

New York, December 22.--The cotton
market showed continued strength today
with prices again making new high rec
ords and closing steady at a net advance
of to Il points. The opening was firm at
an advance of to 10 points on renewal
of yesterdays buying movement,
which was encouraged by steady cables
and further reports OF a better spot de-
mand. Realizing was quite heavy at the
initial advance, which carried most of the
months well into new high ground, but
offerings were remarkably well absorbed
and after slight recessions, the upward
movement was resumed, with January
contracts selling at 1890 and May at
1594e during the afternoon. Tbs reflected
net advance of about 10 to II points on
the active months, and while there was
no change in the character of the news,
proft-talxing became heavy enough to
cause reactions of from to points in
the late trading.
The chief influence in the advance ap-
peared to be the bulIish character of the
news from southern spot markets. Quite
generally speaking, an improved demand
was reported, and with the days interior
shipments in excess of receipts 1t looked
as though rather an urgent effort was be-
ing made to fill out December engage
ments
Part of the buying here during the day
was for the account OF large spot houses,
believed to be covering hedges against
cotton called by the mills. And previous
reports showed spots to be from hc to
3-16c higher. The market for Egyptian
cotton at Alexandria was reported %
points higher. making an advance OF 100
points since the beginning of the week,
while private cables said that estimates
of the Indian crop are being reduced.
Receipts at the ports today, 37,s0 bales.
against 220S2 last week and 67,61S last
year. For the week, 100000 bales against
203, 1876 last week and $685. 1856 last year. To-
days receipts at New Orleans, 97s6 bales,
against 1882 last year, and at Houston,
1864 bales. against 1872 last year.

UNDERGONE is VERY FIRM

New York, December 22.-The extreme
dullness into which the stock trading
fell today was traceable TO the restrain
ing influence OF the tightness of the call
money market. 1t is the assumption of
the professional trading element that
this condition is temporary and incident
to the year-end requirements and to be
succeeded consequently by relaxation
with the turn of the year. This expecta-
ton probably explains the undertone of
firmness in the market and the disposi-
tion to adopt waiting attitude and
the perceptible, though slight, response
to helpful factors. The call loan rate
touched the highest of the year and
large amounts were placed at the high
er rates. The largest of the Wall street
banks was reported to be out of the
call loan market.
Aside from the important subtraction
of actual supplies thus caused the Incl
dent of sentimental influence on account
of the drawing of lines between parties
of capitalists was suggested. 1t Is COM
monty assumed in stock market circles
that the great speculative campaign of
the past year while acquiesced in by all
the most powerful capitalistic groups
has been most largely entered into by
the group catering its interests in Unit
ed States steel. The illness of e. H.
Hartman, his sudden return to this
country In dissatisfied frame of mind
with events in his absence and his SUBJ
sequent death pointed to some with
drawals and abstentions from the grand
strategy of the market.
1t has been the occasion of remark
more than any that capital was being
placed in stock market loans rather than
,n direct stock market commitments
through sources usually credited with
acting for the principal group not most
active In speculation. A rise of money
rates at this time would be of more d.
rect benefit to this group in such cir
cumstances than would be an extension
of upward movements of prices of stocks.
it is the conviction of stock market
observers that much of the years &C
cumulation of stocks in pursuance of the
speculative campaign remains undis-
tributed.
lack of hearty cooperation among
the most important group of capitalists
In carrying the speculative campaign to
a conclusion might involve great
changes in the ultimate outcome. There
were occasional responses today to favor
able dividend developments, the effect
being to add to the credence with which
rumors were regarded of other prospect
i've increases. Pennsylvania responded
TO the large disbursement TO the stock
holders of it's two subsidiary companies,
the Pennsylvania company and the
Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Chicago and st.
Louis. Relief in a special distribution
to Reading stockholders seemed to be
strengthened.

closed weak.
The wheat market was weak the en-

lack of substantial support. The prin-

still more liberal arrivals within the
next few days. Renewed talk of a set
Element of the railroad strike, weak ca
bes and poor demand for the cash grain

country tended also to accelerate the
downward movement. During the day

May ranged between 81. 10 and 81 liz. The
market closed at almost the lowest point,

creased dividends. There was another
revival of the copper merger story and
that group of industrials showed the
effect temporarily. None OF the days
influences proved permanent in their eff
feet, the traders pursuing an opportunist
policy from hour to hour. In view of the
uncertain tone of the speculation some
attention was given to reports that rail-

vices which. disappointing at the opening,
quickly responded TO the better market
here. This market showed the absence of
any desire to SELL except to take profits,
and when new buyers appear the only
cotton offering comes from other longs
selling out. There was some liquidation
by one of the larger long commission
