MARKET LESS ACTIVE.
THAN DAY BEFORE.
Fluctuations Irregular With
Tendency Toward Reac-
tiOn or Recovery

? New York, December 1S.-The cotton
market was less active today than yes
terday. Fluctuations were irregular, but
there appeared to be a tendency toward
reaction. or recovery. after recent heavy
liquidet ton and the close was steady at a
net advance of l to points.
Judging from the talk around the ring,
part of the buying probably reflected a
feeling that the technical position of tie
market had been considerably strength
ened on the break of about 70 points froia
the high level of last Friday, but in some
quarters more bullish opinions were ex-
pre- ssed on the ground that interior hold
ers were refusing to follow the decline,
and that a comparatively large ginning
up to December 1S had been discounted.
The census report showing 2S91lS bales
of linters obtained from the growth of 1913
up TO December /, seemed to inspire some
of the early selling, for while no direct
comparison was available local statis-
tieians figured that the report suggested
nearly as large a total yield of llnters
this year as last season. According 10
the final report of the census bureau there
was 6O2, ,o00 bales of linters In last year 5
commercial crop. and the tendency among
crop estimators this year has been 10
allow about 100000 bales for this item.
The market opened steady at an ad-
vance of to points In response TO
firmer cables than expected, but quickly
eased off under renewed liquidation or
bear pressure. Reports of unfaVoraole
financial conditions abroad, as well as the
report of linters, seemed partly RESPONSE
BILE for the decline which carried prices
about to 6 points net lower.
Liverpool was an active buyer on TINS
setback. however, while there was also a
little demand from trade sources and con-
siderable covering of shorts. This checked
the break and prices later rallied on
moderate buying movement, which WAS
encouraged by continued reports of steady
interior spot markets, with last prices

POULTRY MARKET

Geese and Turkeys in Great

The activity in the poultry market fea-

market depends how long 1t will so re-

The egg market in New York affects
the local market only when the price
here is forced down to so low level
that the merchants do not make a rea-
sonable profit on them. At such times
the dealers ship their eggs to the New
York market.
The local prices are based purely on
the supply and demand and when the
market is bare the prices soar. When
the hens are in a Laying mood the

WHEAT CARRIED TO
MUCH LOWER RANGE
Following Belief Only a Ca
lamity Would Prevent a
Record Yield in 1914

Chicago, December 1S.-Belief that only
a positive calamity would prevent rec
ord yield in 1914 carried wheat today TO
a much lower range. Apathy prevailed at
the close which was a net decline / to
rs to lie. All other leading staples also
finished at a loss, corn E07sc; oats. "a
&c, and provisions 2lad5c to NC.
From the outset holders of wheat
show ed increasing discouragement. largely
as a result of the government crop re-
port. Notwithstanding vigorous attempts
that We're made to support the market,
prices gradually slipped lower, and in the
end were at the bottom point of the ses-
sion.
Active short selling made the weakness
more aeutely felt. One bear alone was
credited with sales that totalled several
million bushels. Such aggressiveness it
was said did not develop until after one
particular expert had recorded his opin-
ion that even allowing for abnormal dam
age the outlook was for a larger winter
crop than any previously known.
1t was contended also that blowing op-
erations implied a decidedly increa sed
acreage of spring wheat. and that the
jointine conditions of the winter and
spring crops made the prospect as whole
one seldom paralleled
Influenced by the bearish course of
wheat. corn also headed down grade
Favorable weather for shipping from the
interior added to sentiment against the
bull side. Besides shipping call was poor

REACTION SETS IN
TOWARD THE CLOSE

Figures Following Down
ward Tendency

New York, December 1s-Movements or
prices today were mixed In the only
slight changes were registered in the gem
eral run of prominent shares, although
there were wire movements in isolated
spots
The first tendency was downward, but
the trade soon recovered and leaders rose
to above the low figures l to points.
AS the stock session neared its end
reaction set in. The close was near yes
terday's final range. Canadian Pacific
was weak, falling 6la points, American
Express yielded 51a points to %. selling oe-
low par for the first time in years.
An early tone was Influenced by selling
for foreign account and London was ac-
credited with selling 10000 shares. Cana
dian Pacific was offered freely This
came from Paris and Berlin as well AZ
London. Houses with international con-
nections ascribed the movement to unset
tlement in foreign financial markets, par
ticularly as result of the slump in Rus
sian securities.
The readiness with which the stock
market absorbed offerings prevented ar
extended decline and induced traders to
give up attempts to hammer the list
While the outlook is too uncertain to en-
courage an extended forward movement,
it was evident that sentiment was more
cheerful.

mendation in his annual report of govern
