THE PREVIOUS CLOSE.
Returning Confidence on
Part of Wheat Bulls
Shows Itself

Chicago, December ia returning con-
fdence on the part of wheat bulls showed
itself today as result of attention be-
ing directed TO the smallness of reserves
on farms in the Dakotas and Minnesota.
The market closed firm. ssdlsc above yes

off to like amount advanced. oats with
a gain of lsdssc. and provisions varying
from 21sc to SC decline to 71ac rise.
1t was urged any scarcity of wheat sup
plies would most probably be in the north
west and that the relative meagreness of
stocks in first hands compared with one
year ago had become too conspicuous to
be ignored
Although the accumulation at Mime
apolis increased $4,000 bushels for the
week. the gain for the correspondents
period last year was more than five times
that amount in comparison now Opinion
seemed general that the Minneapolis stock
had about reached the maximum.
Primary receipts nearly 100000 bushels
under those of last year added to senti-
ment in favor of the bulls. and so also
did the lack of snow covering In the win
ter crop region.
On the other hand, especially during the
early part of the session, mild weather
and weak cables at times gave the ad-
vantage to the bears. There was also a
revival of the gossip that the Canadian
duty would be withdrawn.
Corn suffered from selling pressure. due
to big receipts at the chief terminals
Country sales in point We're reported to
have fallen off in Iowa and some other
important places to almost nothing.
In oats knowledge of plentiful buying
orders to buy at the decline made prices
firm from the start.
Provisions ruled steady. Packers were
said to be we'll satisfied with relative con-
ditions in the pit. The same at the yards

MORRIS AVENUE
WELL SUPPLIED
Poultry Continues in Best
Demand-Merchants Are
Taxed to Handle Trade

With Christmas only few days away
and the Christmas rush about to begin
the Morris avenue dealers expressions
are very optimistic. The supplies on
hand are good and they are being aug
mented by the daily arrival of train
loads of eatables. Prices remain prac-
tically stationary despite the enormous
demand.
The sale of poultry continue to lead
the other branches of the market. 1t is
expected that the demand today will
be larger than any previous Saturday
in 1913, and the demand next week is
going to be unprecedented, say the
dealers.
In the produce line the merchants are
thoroughly satisfied with the demand
and say that If it gets much heavier
they will be unable to handle It, The
supplies are equal to any emergency
and new consignments are arriving
daily.

GENERAL DECLINE.
IN COTTON MARKET
Prices Go Back to Lowest
Level of Last Wednes-
day During the Day

New York, December 19-The cotton
market sold back to about the lowest level
of last Wednesday during today's trading,
with January contracts making new low
ground for the movement under renewed
liquidation and bear pressure The close
was easy and from to 10 points net
lower.
Relatively steady Liverpool cables and
overnight reports from the south that in
terror spot holders were still showing lit
tie disposition to meet the lower prices for
futures, seemed responsible for con-
spicuously steady opening. First prices
were point lower for December but gem
orally 1 to points higher and there was
moderate scattering demand from shorts
or reactionsts. This buying was very
readily supplied, however, and the mar
ket soon weakened under more or less
general offerings, which seemed to reflect
liquidation by old longs or recent buyers,
and considerable pressure from Wall
street and southern sources. Predictions
that the steadily increasing local stock OF
certificated cotton would be followed by
large tenders on January contracts may
have inspired part of the pressure against
that position which led the break, sell
ing at 1225c, or a couple a points under
Wednesdays low level and about i
points under the closing figures of yester.
day Other positions sold about 10 to ].
points net lower, where the decline was
checked by covering, or renewed buyins
for a rally, and prices during the early
afternoon showed recoveries of or
points. Later the market weakened agar
under another squirt of selling which som,
believed to come from the southwest
where the movement is beginning to in
crease after a period of very small re
cepts resulting from the weather and IN
terrupted transportation facilities.
Others attributed this particular sellin;-
which was for January delivery, to loca
liquidation, but in any event it sent th'
market back to about the low point, witt
January closing at 12.25c, or just 10 points
under the high level of last Friday
Weekend figures were considered abou
stand-off, and the earlier selling move
ment seemed to be chiefly inspired by thu
expectation of a bearish census ginning
report tomorrow morning and on CON
tinued talk of unfavorable general trade
conditions. Reports from Memphis sGit
the unusually heavy stock of spot cottoi
there was being easily carried and thai
there was no pressure of distress cottol
against the market.

NERVOUSNESS| IN
AF TERNOON SESSION
Periods of Strength and
Moderate Amount of
Long Buying

New Orleans, December 19.-The cot
ton market displayed nervousness to-
day, particularly in the afternoon ses-
sion. Periods of strength. based on
profit taking by the short side and
moderate amount of long buying on the
conviction of the bulls that the market
was badly oversold and therefore tech
nically sound. alternated with periods
of easiness.
feature of the day was the steadi-
ness of the spot department. Locally.
prices held firmly a the f3-cent level
for mlddling while 1t was claimed that
the better grades were bringing ad-
vanees Reports from the interior were
that the spot situation was healthy.
This caused steadiness in the future
market and almost a full recovery OF
the early decline but late in the day
selling was renewed on a private bu-
reau report of 12,794,0O bales of cot
ton ginned up to December 12 and the
market broke into new low ground for
the day.
| The opening was steady with prices
unchanged to points down in sympa-
thy with lower Liverpool market than

Not for weeks had the street seen mar
ket which gave such striking evidence
of inherent strength. Many OF the rep
resentative shares were marked UP to 1
points.
The forward movement was brought
about by various influences. Increasing
firmness during the last few days and evil
dences that disturbing liquidation had
been completed, gave traders more con-
fidence. Oversold conditions among the
speculative stocks enabled the bulls to
conduct aggressive operations successfully

market factor to which traders at
tached considerable Importance was the
pending enactment of the banking and
currency bill. While there are many diff
ferent opinions in Wall street as to the
ultimate effect of the changes to be made
in the currency system. the trading ele-
ment took the view that passage of the
bin would be a distinctly bullish infiu-
ence. Recent changes in the bill were
construed as favorable.
An unofficial report from Washington
that the interstate commerce commission
was disposed to regard favorably the Pc
ttion of the eastern roads for higher
freight rates helped to strengthen rail-
road stocks. Success of the Lehigh VAL
ley bond offering was another influence
in that direction.
Another favorable bank statement was
