AN ADVANCE IN
 CRUDE PETROLEUM

Pittsburg, Pa., December 26.-Announce- ment was made today by the Joseph Seep purchasing agency, now buying power of old Standard oil organizations, of an ad- vance in Pennsylvania crude petroleum of cents per barrel. bringing the price paid independent producers to $1.35 per barrel. Other grades were raised in pro- portion as follows: Somerset 79 cents, an advance of cents; Ragland, 4S cents, an advance of 8 cents, and no change was made in the price paid for Mercer black, Cabe and Newcastle and Corning.
 The last preceding change in the price of Pennsylvania, the basis of the crude oil commodity, was made June II, 1910. when the price was reduced to s1.30.
 Officials of the Standard Oil company stated that there was no particular short age in the grades of oil affected and ex- pressed the belief that the advance had come as an indication that times were much improved and the companies, which once made up the great organization, could afford it.
 It was predicted the changes would stimulate development.

COTTON MARKET
 QUITE IRREGULAR In Absence of Liverpool Cables or Fresh News.
 Close Steady

New York December 26. - The cotton market was very quiet today. with fiuc- tuations comparatively narrow and ir- regular in the absence of Liverpool ca bles or any fresh news of consequence, and closed steady net points lower to points higher
 The opening was steady at a decline of points to an advance of points, and. during the first hour or so, the market showed a declining tendency owing to the selling of December, against late ar- rivals of spot cotton from the south for delivery and local bear pressure against the later months, which was probably in- spired by a bearish view of the Lam cashire labor situation and feeling that a pre-hollday covering had left the mar ket in a comparatively weak technical position. December sold off to net loss of 13 points, and later months to de- cline of from to points comparing with the closing prices of last Friday, but around this level offerings were well taken by covering of old shorts and buy ing of the later months by houses with continental connections. It was estimated that December notices amounting to about 15,0o0 bales were circulating, but the con- centrated December long interest seemed to be taking up the cotton, and as soon as the early furry of offerings had sub sided the market steadied up to about or shade over the closing figures or Friday on covering or buying for a. turn.
 The rally was barely maintained, how ever and the close was ? to points off from the best on most positions. Liver pool will reopen for business tomorrow morning, and at the same time some more definite news is expected with ref erence to the British labor situation, as it is understood here that master spinners had given their employees until Wednes- day morning to withdraw their demand, or that otherwise a general lockout in northeastern Lancashire would be de- clared More or less general precuplta- tion is reported in the south, but, While if was felt that rain or snow might in- terfere with ginning and with the move- ment. it is also claimed that the precipi- tation was putting a good season In the ground from a new crop standpoint, and the days market as whole reflected more or less disposition to await devei- opments

WHEAT CARRIED
 ID LOWER LEVEL
Welcome Snow Falls in the Winter Crop Belt-The
 Close Was Weak

Chicago, December 26-Welcome snow falling throughout the winter, crop belt carried the price of wheat today to a lower level. The close was weak at a net decline of ssc to 9sc. Corn finished lkc off to ssc up. Oats down 5sd%c to 1ke, and hog products unchanged to Sc advance.
 Wheat traders focked to- the selling side This action was made nearly unan- imous at times, owing to quotations for cash grain being weak and lower at all leading winter wheat centers. Besides, world shipments were considerably larger than expected and the united provinces of ndia reported an increase of mil lion acres in land seeded this year as compared with P months back. An up- turn in the market at Buenos Ayres gave little temporary encouragement to the bulls, and there was also a bit of com fort for them in an unlocked for lessen ing in the United States visible SUD- ply total.
 Neither of these influences, however, effected any radical change in sentiment, so tlfat last sales were at nearly the lowest point of the season. Between the opening and the close May ranged from 97s4c to 9Sssc, with the wind-up at 975sc, loss of 5ac net. A forecast of cold weather promising better roads in the country and therefore larger receipts made the corn crowd more sympathetic to the weakness of wheat. This was not the case, though, until shorts had been d good deal disturbed at wet skies and at the smalness of rural offerings. May fiuctuated from 631ac to 64t4a642sc, clos ing weak, 1hc lower at 6s9sc. Cash grades were depressed. No. 2 yellow was quoted at 71@72c for old
 Selling out of big line of oats by local long caused heaviness all day in the market for that cereal. The only support came from the larger shorts Up per and lower limits touched for the May option proved to be 47ssc and 469sc, with the close 1@11sc down at 46ssc.
 Provisions started higher with hogs, but were halted by notice of quite a falling off in lard exports. In the end, prices were steady at the same figures as Friday night or at an advance of not to exceed Dc.
 Future quotations were as follows:

New Orleans Cotton Market

New Orleans, December 8.-Cotton fu- lures opened steady at a decline of to 5 points,
 Some little selling pressure was In eVi- dence as the result of uncertainty over the labor situation in England. The weather over the cotton belt continued unfavorabe. A great deal of rain was shown on the map. This checked selling after a decline of 5 to 6 points had been established on the most active months
 Shorts took profits and the buying gave the list a steadier tone.
 At the end of the first half hour of busi- ness the list stood at a net advance Of point.
 The list became extremely dull around the middle of the session. Even sca1ping operations became restricted. No news was received regarding the mill dispute in Lancashire, and traders on both sides were not willing to Increase their conl- mitments until they had better line on the position of the mills. |. Prices barely moved from the middle of the morning on. At noon the trading months were to 2 points under last Fri days close.

TRADING IN BONDS
 IS FAIRLY ACTIVE Appearance of Market Aft CT Triple Holiday Hard
 ly Changed

New York, December 26.-The appear alice of the stock market today after the triple holiday was hardly changed. and trading vas in the same dull, monotony as during the preceding week. The totai transactions for the day were only slight ly in excess of 100000 shares.
 Trading in bonds was fairly active. While the bond issues which have been brought out recently have been absorbed readily, and in some cases largely over subscribed, the inquiry from day to day for bonds have been on the market for some time Is said by dealers to be less active than might have been expected, in view of the large dividend and interest disbursements next week.
 Among the stock moved widely today, Lehigh Valley and Great Northern Ore certificates were conspicuous. The ore certificates showed weakness early in the day, selling for time at a decline of points. Lehigh Valley rose to the highest figure on record since it was listed in New York, but later lost more than it had gained. The selling was pre- sumably based on reports of further post
  regation of the coal property from the railroad concerning which Wall street has heard recently much gossip, but no authorized statement
 Utah Copper made substantial gains. United States Steel showed moderatae gains. Reports from the steel trade con- tinued to be of favorable character, and it was estimated that by the first of the year the plants of the Steel Corporation would be running at close to S5 per cent of capacity.
 Money rates showed no reflection of the impending heavy demands for January payments and it was apparent that there was q large supply of loanable funds on hand. The banks received large remit tances from out of town correspondents, who are prepared to take advantage Of an upturn of rates if such a movement occurs at the end of the year.
 Prices were shaded in the bond market, with Wabash As showing conspicuous heaviness after slight advance. Total sales, par value, $3092,00o.
 United States bonds unchanged on call.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, December 26.-(Special)-As the holiday in the European market con- tinues until tomorrow, we are without ad- vices and it seemed impossible to obtain any information regarding the labor dis pute in Lancashire. Some local sefing during the morning found a demand on the way down which absorbed all of the offerings Part of this demand was to cover and part of it came from our spin ners, who are more disposed to buy on declines than before.
 There appears to be a growing inclina- ton to regard cotton as purchase for investment, not for speculation.
