AVIAT0RS MAKE
 AIRSHIP VISIT

San Francisco. January 1S.--Aviators James Radley and Walter BroolSins went visiting today in their aeroplanes. In re- sponse to an impromptu invitation from the Burlngame club, several miles south of the aviation field, the two men flew to the club. An hour later they returned. Both reported an enjoyable visit.
 The club house at Burlngame is fringed with woods and the two aviators had some difficulty in finding the golf links, on which they alighted. A large crowd gath cred for the reception of the visitors. Having safely alighted Radley and Brook ins were taken to the clubhouse and en- ,tertained. Wine was produced and toasts were drunk to the aviators. They passed half an hour in pleasant chat and then entered their machines and flew back 10 the aviation grounds, sailing to an alti- tude of more than 2000 feet
 Another bomb dropping experiment. was made by Lieut.. M. s. Crissey. who went up with Parmelee, carrying two heavily charged shrapnels. From a height of nearly 1000 feet he aimed the missiles at a target in the field. The first bomb mired in swampy ground and failed to explode, but the second burst close to the target

 New Orleans. January 1S.-Cotton fu- lures opened steady at an advance of to points on good cables. Liverpool fu- lures were higher than due, and an ln- creased demand for spots was noted. After the call the market acted sold out, and 6 very small inquiry served to cause q further advance. Bulish traders who sold out yesterday viewed the action of the market with alarm and circulated much gossip of a character intended to hold prices down, but at the end of the first half hour of business the trading months were 8 to 10 points over yester- days close. March exhibited the most strength.
 The action of South Carolina spinners yesterday in voting for curtailment dur ing the period between April and Septem- Der was expected by some traders to have an adverse effect on the market, but while it was gossiped about the floor all the morning, the general opinion seemed to be that the mills would have curtail at the time indicated whether they wanted 10 or not, because of the short age In supplies this season. Bulls of fered the market no support, but on a moderate inquiry from shorts the trading months gradually rose until at noon they were Is to 14 points over yesterdays close
 Tn the afternoon session the market was very steady in sympathy with heavy liquidation of the long account A prom inent Texas trader according to the gos- sip of the market has sold out today and yesterday over 20,00 bales of cotton in this market. These offerings and more have been absorbed and prices have advanced in the meantime. Large shorts, it is said by some, have been the best buyers At o'clock the trading months were 16 to 17 points over yesterdays close The market closed steady at an advance of r to IS points.

COTTON ADVANCES
 ON FOREIGN NEWS Trade With Europe Promises
 To Be Better BULL SUPPORT GOOD Bears Sell Freely in Early Trading But All Offerings Are Ab-
 sorbed and the Close
 Is Firm

New York, January 1S.-The cotton mar ket was more active and frmer today on
 bulish foreign trade advces, claims of a better spot demand in the south, and bull
 fish rumors from Memphis. as to probable ginning returns next Monday. Closing prices were at practically the best point and firm at a net advance of to Il points.
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of to 10 points, generally to points higher in response to better cables
 than expected, larger Liverpool spot sales, and private advces attributing the Liverpool strength to bullish trade ac- count and the publication of circular by leading English authorities confirming their original crop estimate of Il. 600, GOO ! bales and their estimate of F, 2,50O,000 bales for consumption providing the cotton be available.
 The initial advances here attracted re-
 newal of local bear pressure which caused some early irregularity, but offerings were very readily taken owing to a big demand | for the near months from trade interests, some bull support for the later spring or
 summer positions, and covering by more timid shorts. After showing net gain of about F to 16 points, there was reac- tion of to 6 points under realizing, but the market firmed up again later on con tinued support from trade interests and bullish private spot advices from the south, reaching the best point during the last few minutes. Some of the early sell ing was supposed to be based on reports of further rains in the southwest and the talk of domestic mill curtailment which included reports that South Carolina tailment between now and the end of the season, while late in the day it was ru- mored that New England spinners would vote for curtailment of about 25 per cent. Exports continued liberal and pri- vate wires from the south reported 8 con- tinued demand from spots from abroad. Southern spot markets officially report ed early were unchanged to 1-16c higher. Latest rumors as to the probable amount of cotton ginned between January 1 and l5 place it at about 175,O00 bales, against l40,000 for the same period last year. Receipts at the ports today, 35,270 bales
 against 60,524 last week and 25,744 last year.

WHEAT DECLINES ON
 CONFLICTING NEWS Weather Reports First Cause
 An Early Advance A REACTION FOLLOWS Dealers in Corn Sell Short and At the Close Prices show Decline.
 Oats Close Lower and Pro-
 visions Irregular
A REACTION FOLLOWS

Chicago, January 1S-Because flour busi- ness was reported poor and milers dis couraged, wheat today lost an advance due to sleet and ice southwest from Chi cago. The close was at net decline of Mc to AGasc. Corn, compared with last night, showed loss of B@Ac to Ac: oats were down 1s@asc. and provisions ir- regular, 25c off to 15c up.
 The wheat market was active but with in comparatively narrow range. Light ness of primary receipts formed val unable aid to the bulls Threatened freez- ing of fall sown fields, especially in Kan sas and Illinois, was, however, the main reliance of buyers. Many belated shorts and investors took on good sized lines. There was at no time any selling pressure of importance, the bears having been too badly worsted of late to make a fight. On the other hand, the call for cash wheat displayed scant improvement, amounting to practically nothing here or elsewhere. Flour manufacturers in par ticular were said to be handicapped by fear on the part of the would-be purchas- CTS of product that manipulation in the wheat Dit nere tnfedleHeu eNeIl Ttsu ultS' Attention to this aspect of affairs finally resulted in rather sharp dip in prices, bringing the market down to the point where at the outset of trading disap- pointment had been reflected regarding the little response foreign centers made to the bulge here yesterday. The final tone was weak with May Ac net lower at $1 0414, after changes that during the ses- sion had run up from that price to $l.017s @1.02.
 There was much short selling of corn by lesser traders who refused to follow the prominent speculator who has been cover ing so conspicously. Country sales also loosened up somewhat. May varied from soc to 5O1ac, closing easy, Ac down at 50sc Cash corn was in fair demand. No 2 yellow finished at 47447Bc.
 Oats tended more to shade doWnWard with corn than to follow swels in wheat. The high and low levels for May were 35a351sc and 341s@349sc, with latest figures the cheapest of the day, ssc under "A hours previous.
 Offerings of hog products increased in surprising manner whenever there ap- peared to be evidence of public interest or support In consequence. trade was re- stricted and the finish ragged. Pork, loc higher to 25c lower lard. 71sc to 10c down, and ribs at decerase of DC to 7l2c.

STOCKS AFFECTED BY MANIPULATION While Advances Occur Support Is Not Broad
  BONDS VERY ACTIVE
Total Transactions in Bonds Amount To Nearly Six Million Dollars and the Demand Is
 Very Large

New York, January 1s.-Certain charac- teristcs of today's stock market gave color to @the belief that manipulative forces are again active. The market lacked the broad support which has &C., companied the recent enhancement of values and many of the better known issues were under pressure during the greater part of the day. Readiness to accept offerings on slight, concessions steadied, the market and restricted fuc- tuations for the most part to compara lively narrow limits
 Reading was again somewhat of spec ulative football, selling off abruptly before 1t ascended to new high level. and United States Steel was apparently of- fered freely at every attempt to advance the market. The Harrimans were steady with the Hill issues off fractionaly. Rock Island common and preferred opened with some show of strength and actively, but later sank into comparative obscurity. Pennsylvania and New York Central were at no time especially strong, particularly the former.
 Norfolk and Western, one of yester- days spectacular features, was dull and relatively heavy, presumably on intima- tions that recent talk of an increase in the dividend rate is at least premature. Canadian Pacific and allied stocks were quiet and lower. Apart from American Smelling, which was active and strong on the report that it is to be listed in London, some activity was shown by number of the minor issues. Pacific Tel. | arh al nh, a substantial gain with less activities in American Telephone and Telegraph and Western Union.
 Prices held firm in the early afternoon with the usual period of dullness, but in the final hour another buying movement in the coalers sent Reading and Lehigh . Valley up to highest prices, with concur rent gains in other standard stocks. In the final trading, however, profit-taking brought some recessions and the closing was generally unsettled
 London's operations were estimated at 10000 shares sales on balance. Some buying of Southern Pacific for Paris ac- count was reported from London and To- cal bankers with international connec- tons received advices from abroad indi- eating the imminence of Hartman finan- cing, presumably for Southern Pacific, in Paris. Foreign exchange was weak here.
 Wall street paid little attention to to- days decree of the interstate commerce commission deferring from February to March 15 proposed increases on 60 com- modities recently scheduled by roads operating between Chicago and the Mis- souri river.
 The day was a record breaker for many months in the bond market. Sales of Norfolk and Western convertibles, Amer ican Telephone and Telegraph converti- sbles, American Tobacco As and Rock Is- land collateral trust issues were on an enormous scale and comprised the greater part of the days operations. Total sales. par value, $5,9G0,O00. United States bonds were unchanged on call.
