HEAVY BUYING
 SENDS UP PRICES Advance of Almost Dollar a Bale For Most Ac-
 tive Month

New Orleans, December 22.-Heavy buy ing of cotton, apparently for the account of investors, forced the market today to an advance of almost $1 a bale for the most active months. It was the largest advance of any day since the resumption of business on the cotton exchanges Not cnly was the fresh buying of importance but nervous shorts were in the market for covers and their demand added to the firm tone At the highest of the day the list stood IS to 19 points over yester- days last quotations. The close was very steady at a net gain of 1S to IS points. lt Buying was stimulated by the export situation, not so much by the days ex- ports, which were 46,50S bales, but py stories of heavy bookings of ocean room by cotton shippers in the south and the large number of vessels listed to sail from gulf ports during this month and January.
 Shot markets generally were very steady and higher to sell, and it was reported from several states that owing to bad roads shorts were unable to transport pur chases made at small interior points, and were being forced into the larger mar kets in order to cover commitments fall ing due. In connection with this special interest was taken in the claim that Rus sian importers were heavy buyers at the larger shipping points in Texas.

 Eighth Cent

The retail meat and produce dealers of the city are doing heavy holiday business and the demand for oranges, nuts, grapefruit and decorative shrub bery is now at high level in the down town district. Shoppers throng the city in search of requirements for tho an- nual Christmas celebration and the hol iday spirit seems infused into Bir- mingham business.
 In the wholesale section a corres- bonding increase in sales is noted and poultry is going now in great volume Prices are firm all along the line. The cotton market is active at this time and an advance of Is cent was re. corded in the local spot quotation, yesterday: the price of good middlinl reaching lac.

HEAVY COURSE IS SHOWNbY MARKET Supply of Securities Still Continues in Excess of
 the Demand

New York, December 2a.-That the supply of securities continues in excess of the demand was again demonstrated hy the heavy course of today's dull movement on the stock exchange. Many of the better known and seasoned issues of less importance. including the low price coppers, were quoted at bottom figures. The weakness in the metal group appeared to have it's basis iu another severe cut in the price of the metal, due to lack of demand.
 United States Steel assumed its old position as leader, falling in the early dealings to 4S%, from which it rose fractionally. only to decline again in the final hour. Support of this stock was correspondingly weak. That the Steel corporation is hopeful of improved trade conditions, however, was shown by an official statement issued after the close of the market to the effect that no general reduction in the wage sched- ule would be made at this time be- cause of some evidence of change for the better"
 In early trading Reading and Lehigh Valley were conspicuous for their rela- tive strength, each gaining a point or the decision of the federal court, which declared that Lehigh Valley had moi evaded the antitrust laws in its re lations with some of it's subsidiaries.
 Bethlehem Steel preferred was an other isloated instance of strength. par tially as 8 result of rumor to the effect that the company had secured mere large orders from abroad. Among the minor specialties,- Central Leather rose on the increase of it's dividend from to per cent. Announcement that the Virginia Carolina preferred dividend had been deferred because of the state of the cotton industry oc- casioned no surprise and failed to bring out any of the stock.
 Later war news was evidently pro- ductive of a more cheerful feeling in London, where reports of a reopening ol the exchange early in the coming year were revived.
 Bonds were irregular with free sell ing of the active group. Total sales (par value) were $1, 900.
 United States government coupon 3's advanced % per cent on call.

NEW HIGH GROUND MADE BY COTTON
Broadening of Trade Invest ment Buying Is Felt in
 New York Market

New York, December 22.-There was further broadening of trade and in vestment buying in the cotton market today and prices made new high ground for the movement with the close firm at net gain of from 15 to IT points.
 The market opened steady at an advance of 2 to points with active months selling I to 9 points net high CT shortly after the call on the steady showing of Liverpool and renewal of yesterdays buying movement. There was heavy realizing at this advance for over the holidays and some local sell ing was probably promoted by predic- tions that the higher prices would bring out increased offerings of spot cotton from the interior. Reactions of { or , points followed but houses with continental connections were active buyers. while there was no indication of southern hedge selling and the mar ket soon rallied.
 The scattering demand through wire and commission houses became more active than at any time previously since the reopening of the market and all months made new high ground for the day and movement in the late trad ing with July selling at S.09c, or 6S points above the recent low level. Final fluctuations were somewhat irregular under realizing, but there was good demand in evidence right up to the close and last prices were at practi- cally the best point.
 It is reported that German interests have been heavy buyers on futures here during the past two weeks and have also been heavy buyers of spot cotton, which is being stored at the ports and larger interior towns while awaiting better shipping facilities.

New York, December 22.-(Special) Cables this morning were about as due but spots sales were larger at 10000 ta ales. Prices were somewhat higher from the opening. with German houses again heavy buyers, particularly in Oc tober. The west was also buyer of the late months snd as there was lit- tie or no selling from the south. prices advanced rather rapidly to new high levels for the movements. On the rise there was free realizing by some of the outside buyers and some scattered selling from the south checking the rise.
 There must be . greater supply of contracts before tho market will decline materially as the constant absorption of contracts by Germany has congest- cd the market here.
