COTTON MARKET
RECEIVERS LOSS
The Market Closed Steady
But Business Was Less
Active

New York, December 23.-The cotton
market recovered part of it's recent loss
during today's trading and closed very
steady at a net advance of 10 to % points
Business was less active. There was
some further scattering liquidation bui
selling for long account was not so urgent
as Monday. There was a fair demand
from shorts and trade interests, accom-
panied by more or less talk of a reaction
based on an idea that liquidation abou;
had run its course, and that technical con-
ditions entitled prices to rally after a
break of more than cents a pound. Ca
bles again were better than due and the
local market opened firm at an advance
of Il to IA points on covering renewal OF
straddle buying and some demand from
trade sources. Private cables reported q
better tone in Liverpool with the trade
there showing more confidence at the
16lkc level, while the talk around the loca
ring also suggested rather more favor
able view of the market.
Buying became less active after the
close of Liverpool har shut out the active
arbitrage business, but the selling move
ment tapered off at about the same time
and after slight recessions the market
again firmed up on reports of firm interior
spot holders
The best prices of the day were reached
in the late trading, with March contracts
selling at 12.23c, compared with l.99c, the
low point of yesterday, Leading sept in
terests apepared to have a number Of
buying orders around the ring at the
close, and it was predicted that the lat'
purchases here would be followed by sell
ing in the English market tomorrow
morning One of the private cables re
ceived from Liverpool today said there
had been improvement of trade in Man
chester and claimed that early hedge sell
ing there had been absorbed by cont1nen
tai buying.
Southern spot markets ranged from 1s'
higher to Nc lower being generally UNI
changed Local spot men say the interior
has responded so little to the decline "
futures that the basis on some grades Il
nearly double what 1t was when thu
breaks started.

THE MARKET FAILS
TO HOLD ADVANCE
After Early Rise Yielding
Tendency Develops-Prices
Are Forced Back

New York, December 2S.-The advance
In stocks which began late last week
was checked today. After a further rise
early in the session, led by Reading,
Southern Pacific and Amalgamated, the
market developed yielding tendency,
which eventually carried back the popu-
lar stocks to yesterdays close or below.
New York Central, Baltimore and Ohio,
Missouri Pacific Canadian Pacific, and
Western Union showed heaviness. Mis-
souri, Pacific dropped to 2lAc a new low
mark.
Sentiment was hopeful. The stock
market in the last few days, with It's
broadening speculation and rising prices,
has made the best performance of sew
eral months. Developments at Washing
ton in connection with the currency legis-
lation and the handling of the trust ques-
ton made a definite Improvement in
feeling, after a long period of pessimsm.
Traders nevertheless were inclined to
take a conservative view while awaiting
indications of the practical effects or
the new currency plan and OF the out
look for business.
The pause in the market today was
due largely to realizing. The market
was freed from pressure from abroad,
which has been heavy at times recently.
A better feeling existed at London and
there was a fair demand from abroad
for the metal stocks Amalgamated made
a good showing in the early trading and
a better tone was reported from the
copper metal market, with increased sales
to both foreign and domestic consumers.
Declaration of an initial dividend or z
per cent on Central leather had little
effect. having been discounted in the re-
cent advance of the stock
Dealings in bonds expanded, but the
movements were uncertain. Total sales,
par value, s2,5O0,OOO. United States bonds
were unchanged on call.

WIDENING OF SNOW
AREA IS HANDICAP
Bulls Could Not Overcome
Bearish Influences.
Small Gains

Chicago, December 23.-Widening of the
snow area in the winter crop belt proved
to be more of a handicap today than the
prices, though firm, were 1sGIAc to CSC
under last nights prices. Corn finished
1sGAc to ssc up oats varying from &c
off to a shade advance, and provisions ir-
regular, strung out from 10c decline to n
rise of &c.
Besides the bearish influence of enlarged
protection to fall sown wheat, cables were
against traders who were on the lookout
for signs of an upturn.
Russia promised heavier shipments. and
there were more favorable crop advices
from Australia, India and Argentina. An
increase in the worlds available supply
acted also as a burden on the market.
Some encouragement for buyers devel-
oped late In the days session, millers be-
ing reported as taking hold much more
freely than is usual at the end of the
calendar year.
Action of the flour manufacturers was
attributed in part to the dwindling of re-
ceipts in the northwest. Estimates were
at hand, too, that the amount of wheat
in sight for export from the United States
before July ] next reaches only 45,0Vn0Oo
bushels, compared with 100000 bushels
a year ago in comparison.
Prospects OF delayed marketing and
of increased feeding as a result of stormy
weather lifted the price of corn. Profit
taking by longs brought about a reaction,
but not of lasting kind.
Oats suffered from rather free selling
that was charged to n prominent spec
ulator. Elsewhere trade did not assume
much volume. Changes in provisions quo
tations were chiefly pork.
Most of the purcha ses came through
commission houses.

future. In consequence of these advices
and of the steadiness abroad our mar
ket had decidedly better tone and on a
much smaller volume of business gradual
ly recovered some 20 points from yester-
days extreme low. There is a general
feeling that the decline has gone far
enough for the present and that the mar
ket should naturally have a substantial
reaction. With the holidays coming on
1t Is not to be expected that we will have
any material change in prices in the inn
mediate future. A better demand for
spots is reported and as the south is still
lnsistent that a very large proportion of
the crop was represented in the last gin
ming report, there is a tendency to await
further enlightment now before taking
the figures at their face value which
would indicate a larger crop than had
been at all anticipated
