BUSINESS IS DULL
 IN COTTON MARKET No Feature Develops to Cause
 Any Price Changes OFFERINGS ARE LIGHT Closing Prices Show Small Decline as the Final Rally Is Not Quite
 Strong Enough for Full
 Recovery
OFFERINGS ARE LIGHT

New York. December 23.-The usual pre- holiday dull business prevailed in the cot ton market today, no fresh feature devel- oping and prices closing steady at net decline of to points.
 The market opened steady at unchanged prices to decline of points, and while the cables were about as due, sold off to net loss of to points during the first half hour under scattering liquidation, chiefly through Wall street houses and some little selling from abroad There was nothing in the way of news, how ever, to inspire fresh operations for short account or to shake the confidence of the larger longs, so that offerings did not be- come aggressive and trading became even less active during the afternoon when brokers had few orders to tdivert them from the exchange of compliments and the practical jokes which are usually the feature just before the Christmas holi- days.
 The close was a point or two up from the lowest on the more active months. Fall River advices stated that many of the mills there were opposed to any in- mediate organized curtaiment such as was recently suggested but reviews of the dry goods trade showed little if any improvements. On the other hand export business continued very heavy, the days clearances amounting to over 12o,ooo bales and bringing the total 80 far this season up to about 410O,000 bales. compared with 3,546.O00 to the same date last year. Southern spot markets officially reported early were generally unchanged
 Receipts at the ports today. S4.359 bales, against 71,944 last week and 41,S44 last year. For the week, 340,000, against 426,- Ss5 last week, and 224,740 last year. To- days receipts at New Orleans, 14,o23, against 3061 last year, and at Houston. 571s bales. against 40s4 last year.

 The total worlds visible supply of cot ton as above shows an increase compared with last week of 2o2. .525, an increase com pared with last year of ,26o, and an in crease compared with year before last of 1306O9.

MODERATE STRENGTH
 IS SHOWN IN WHEAT.
Light Worlds Shipments Is
 the Principal Factor
STOCKS ARE VERY LARGE
Shorts and Investors Buy Corn on News of Argentine Drouth and Prices Go Up--Oats Close Irregular
 and Provisions Lower

Chicago, December 23.-With world ship ments growing light and with no mois- ture southwest except In northern Texas, wheat today showed strength, but in a decidedly moderate way. At the end of the session prices were 5sc to ss@1sc high CT than last night. Corn closed 1-16c to 1kc up: oats were shade off to 0 shade advance and provisions unchanged to 10c decline
 The wheat market for a while was almost bare of offerings, but later they increased sufficiently to satisfy all wants. Although apprehension of 'drouth damage to the winter crop was felt, there was no certainty of actual injury yet. The problem was not regarded as solved by the amount of snow or rain that has de- scended east of the Mississippi river. In this connection many traders attached considerable significance to dwindling of receipts in the southwest Greater im- portance, however, was given to a bull ish estimate of world shipments, 95OO,oO0 bushels, against 12,os6,oO0 bushels year ago. An offset in part came in the form of an increase of 1,28o,000 bushels in north- western stocks. There was also state- ment that the Minneapolis accumulation now fills about all the freproof storage there and includes 100000 bushels on tracks awaiting better shelter. Notwith- standing this rather formidable showing. the market closed firm at intermediate prices. During the session May ranged from 965sc to 961sc. with last sales 1sc up at 964@98ssc.
 Shorts and investors bought corn on continuance of the Argentine drouth and because of an expected lighter run of re- ceipts here. moderate advance brought out free offerings, some through direct Argentine cable orders. May fuctuated between 47%c and 4Sc, closing firm 1sc net higher at 477s@4Sc.
 In oats there was active liquidation by scattered holders of the December option. Elevators were the buyers. May varied from 34lsQD344c with last sales at S4Sq SAG, net gain of a shade.
 Provisions were easy because of lower prices for hogs. After trading ceased pork was left unchanged to TIC off; lard. 71kc to 10c down and ribs at decline Of 5Ql71hc to 100.

tions of the state, and not in the west, where the drouth has been most severe.
 At the end of the first half hour of trading prices were to points under yesterdays close.
 There was little business done around the ring at any time during the morning session. At the middle of the morning the trading months were to 5 points under yesterdays close, but toward noon offerings became very scanty, and few small buying orders In the hands of com mission houses served to put prices up. At noon the active months were l point over yesterdays close.
 In the afternoon session the market continued very dull. At 2 o'clock prices were 1 point under yesterdays close
 The market closed steady at net de- cline of 2 points.

TRADING IN STOCKS
 DOWN ID LOW POINT Nearly All Brokers Leave Be-
 fore Session Is Closed PRICES TURN LOWER
PRICES TURN
Pressure While Others Not So Prominent Make Gains of
 q Few Points

New York, December 23.-The volume Of business on the stock exchange to- day touched the lowest level reached in any full day for a long time During the greater part Of the session sales aver aged barely more than 10000 shares in an hour During the final hour all pretense of business was abandoned and ma jority of the brokers had already de- parted on their triple holiday
 The trend of prices was downward, practically all the speculative leaders sell ing lower than yesterday. The pressure on United States Steel, the copper ls- sues, Reading and Lehigh Valley was most pronounced, though in no instance severe, while such specialties as Consoli- dated Gas, Western Maryland common and preferred and American Beet Sugar were strong, with gains of a point or two.
 The close was dull land heavy.
 Forecasts of the weekly cash move ment indicate gain by local banks of s5,OOO,0O1 or more, due primarily to the recent inflow of money from the middle west.
 A statement issued by the department of commerce indicates the changing char acter of our foreign commerce in the last few months. The increase in exports of manufactured articles and the de- crease Tn exports of foodstuffs are the most noteworthy features of this exhibi- tion.
 News Of the day had little or no market Influence aside from an interview at tributed to J. J. Hill, in which, that mag nate takes less pessimistic view of the general situation. The backward ness of business in general was shown Tn the figures submitted by a leading commercial agency, which show a de- cline in bank exchanges of over 15 per cent compared with the corresponding week last year. Bonds were steady.
 Total sales, par value, S1,4590O0.
 United States bonds were unchanged on call during the week.
