January Contracts Off to
11.H-The Market
Closes Steady

New York, December 22.-Another big
bI eak in the cotton market today carried
January contracts off to 11.74e, or 7.3o
per bale under the recent high level, and
5000 per bale below the high records of
the season. This reflected a renewal of
heavy general liquidation inspired by the
big ginning figures published on Saturday
ana while there was active realizing by
old shorts, or recent sellers last prices
were within a point or two of the lowest,
with the close steady at net loss of 8
to 20 points, generally 16 to 20 points net
lower.
Liverpool just about met the local de-
cline of Saturday and the market here
opened easy at a loss of Z to 10 points
under over Sunday selling orders. There
the early trading. In addition to cover
ing or profit taking there was active
buying by houses with Liverpool connec-
tons who were supposed to be undoing
straddles. The gossi pwas that these
straddles had been put out when New
York was selling about so points under
Liverpool and that the buying here this
morning represented realizing at the diff
ference of around lis pounds.
In addition to the two sources of sup
port was some scattering demand from
trade sources and after carly irregularity
the market rallied to about the closing
figures of Saturday. 1t was noted, how
ever that the buying slackened as soon
at the close of Liverpool shut out arbi-
TRACE business and the market then weak
oned under heavy liquidation, which was
accompanied by rumors that large local
and southern long lines were being sold
out Covering caused occasional slight
buiges, which met increaeed offerings
and the market reached the low level
of the day in the late trading, when ae-
tive months sold is to q points net lower,
1t was rumored after the close that the
liquidation of most of the larger long
lines had been completed during the
days trading, while there appeared to
be more or less dispute as to whether
the southern selling had been all in the
way of long liquidation. or partly against
spot supplies held in the interior. Prac-
tically all the private news from the
south claimed that interior holdings were
/ re latively firm in their views and were
rot meeting the decline In futures.

Something About This Famous
Opera-The Bridal Chorus
Translation

The Heart Song.' illustrated in to-
days issue of The Age-Herald, is the
famous bridal chorus from Lohengrin.
To untold thousands of people this we'd
ding march recalls the most Joyous
moment of their lives.
In sequence of writing this great opera
IL the seventh of Wagner's productions
for the stage. The poem was written at
Dresden in 1915; the music begun In Sep
TENDER, 1915; the Instrumentation of the
entire work was completed during the
ensuing winter and spring; and the first
performance took place August q, 1850,
at Weiman.
The opera has always been especially
popular in the United States and Eng
land, not only on account of the WON
drous beauty of the music--but because
the legend itself has been embodied in
English literature from early times.
The translation OF the words used in
Heart Songs is very beautiful, and match
the music almost as well as IL they had
been written for it originally.
The Lohengrin bridal chorus, or we'd
ding march, Is only one OF several cele-
brated compositions of this kind that ap-
pear In the book-and 1t is this complete
ness and accuracy that make II univer-
sally interesting and absolutely work

COTTON WEAKENS
|NNEW ORLEANS
Small Business in the Morn
ing But Many Offer
ings Later

New Orleans, December 22.-Cotton
was under heavy selling pressure to-
day, which put in a dollar a bale be-
low the level of Saturdays last prices.
In the morning session no great amount
of business was done and the tone was
steady but after the noon hour heavy
offerings made their appearance, chiefly
in sympathy with heavy selling in the
New York market, and there was an i'm
mediate weakness. Some long scotton
was thrown overheard but a good part
of the selling was for short account
The opening was steady at decline
of to points on liquidation from the
long side. Cables were about due and
private messages from Liverpool were
decidedly bullish in their tone. Brokers
had good volume of selling orders to
fill, however, and 1T weighed against
values.
First prices were the lowest in the
early trading as good demand come
from profit takers on the short side and
the market quickly recovered the in
itial loss and went 3 to points over
Saturdays last quotations.. Late in the
morning selling was renewed and at
noon the market stood at a net loss
of about 10 points In the afternoon
the loss was widened to 20 to % points
The close was steady at a net decline
of Is to 10 points

CURRENCY CHANGES
AFFECT THE MARKET
Additional Developments on
Which Favorable Con-
structiOn in Placed

NeY York, December 22.-Further re-
sponses were made by the stock market
today to the news from Washington OF
the progress of currency legislation and
tho administration attitude regarding en-
forceipent of the antitrust law.
WITH respect to both these influences
which Eere the controlling factors in last
weeks sharp advance, there were addi-
tiQnal developments on which favorable
construction was placed.
Changes made in the currency bill III
conference, particularly the defeat of the
provision for guarantee of bank deposits,
were to the favor of Wall street.
From the White House came the news
that the policy pursued In the case of the
American Telephone and Telegraph COM
pany would be followed with other cor
pofAtions whose operations have brought
them under the eye of the department oe
justice and that certain of these corpora
lions were ready to take the initiative in
effecting reorganization.
During the forepart of the session the
effects of these considerations were multi
fed SO far as concerned stock market
movements by other influence apparently
logic. Union Pacific was prominent.
There were perhaps 3tvO shares here
transacted. There was direct selling from
Paris, Berlin ard other points.
The outlook at Berlin for strained
monetary marekt at the end of the year
was said to be responsible for heavy SELL
ing of Canadian Pacigc for Berlins ac-
count and the price was depressed over 4
points.
Among traders in this market there was
n disposition to take profits Realizing
sales and foreign offerings kept the deal
irGB in check during the forenoon with
es{ecial heaviness in few shares.
Wastern Union made a new low price
at u and Missouri Pacific at 23A. This
was the lowest price for years.
The market turned after word came
from Washington regarding the prospects
of settlement out of court of differences
between the government and various cor
porations. as was done in the case OF
American Telephone.
The most marked effect of this news
was the quick bidding up of stocks Of
corporations against which antitrust
suits have been filed, or which have been
logically under investigation by the
United States.
Southern Pacific, Reading, New Haven,
Can, Harvester and some other indus
trials with Smelling rose strongly. Early
losses were recovered in most cases and
at the close there were many substantial
gains.

RECEIPTS BRING
CORN PRICE DOWN
Estimated That 1900 Car
loads of Corn Reach
Chicago

Chicago, December 22.-Huge receipts IF
corn here today pulled down prices for
all grain. Net declines were as follows
isaa4c, and oats B6Ae. In provisions the
outcome was unchanged to an advance
of 71901Oc
Estimates of the amount of corn arriv-
ing In Chicago ran as high as 1900 car
loads. The consequence was a break of
more than 1 cent a bushel in the Decen-
Der option. Other months We're affected
to a lesser extent. Immense quantities
precedented discounts compared with quo
tations for futures. The offerings, how
ever were all taken by elevator concerns
that expect to find profit in drying.
Omaha reports of 100000 bushels OF
corn on tracks there, waiting to be un-
loaded. acted as an additional burden on
prices. So also did advices from New
York that whole train of Argentine corn
had been sold there to go to Wilkesbarre,
Pa. Nevertheless, shorts failed to smash
the market as completely as they had
hoped and they were covering at a fair
upturn the last part of the session. Snow
in the winter crop belt, combined with
the break in corn put the wheat bulls az
a disadvantage. An unexpected increa Sc
of the United States visible supply
counted, too, in favor of the bears, but
there was some offset in the shape of an
estimate that the Argentine exportab,e
surplus would not exceed $4,000, 0G0 bushels
the smallest total yet named. Improved
milling demand helped make the feeling
at the close firm.
Oats suffered from the setback in corn
but received support from resting orders
Shipping call was light.
Provisions rose with hogs. Some reac-
ton followed though. because of an ex.
pansion of selling on the advance.
