New High Ground for Move

New York. January 19.-Cotton made

Higher Liverpool cables. large English

to cause moderate shrinking in the

PRICES CLOSE WEAK

Decline of 3-Sc to 1-2c Net.
Liberal Decrease in the
Visible Supply

Chicago, January 19.-Final removal of
any obstacle to importing wheat from Ar
gentina duty free was an element today
in depressing the market here. Prices
closed weak at a decline of ss61sc. Corn
finished sc to 14assc down and oats un-
changed to a shade off, but provisions
were up 5d7lac to soc.
Bearish sentiment regarding wheat had
quite an imposing array of facts on which
to rely. In addition to possibility of inn
ports whenever desired from Argentina.
the continued mild temperatures over the
winter crop belt formed telling in
fiuence from the outset. 1t also was de-
clared the country was selling reserves
more freely than at any time since Sep

heavy. milling demand slim and there
was no export call apparent
Only one rally of much Importance took
place and that failed to carry the mar
ket above the previous close. What tenn
porary strength there was came chiefly
from a liberal decrease in the visible sup
ply. Australian advices were bullish, but
for the time being seemed to have lost
their effect.
Corn sagged a result of feeding de-
mand falling off because of their being
no immediate prospect of unusually cold
weather. The market. however, displayed
some power of resistance. There was
further buying on the part of large deal
ers, who were conspicuous in purchasing
at advantageous times last week.
Oats showed more strength relatively

posed to ignore Canadian shipments as
a price making factor at present.

ADVANCE IN STOCK
MARKET CONTINUES
Gains in Many Instances
to 2 POints-Steel Shares
in Good Demand

New York, January 19.--The advance in
the stock market was resumed today.
A majority of the speculative shares
overcame the effect of the reaction late
last week and established new high prices
for the upward movement.
Gains in many instances ran from to
2 points. although profit taking in the
final hour cut into the advance.
Traders moved cautiously and the
volume of business was not large. 1t
was felt that. professional buying had
been overdone recently and that the slight
setback which the market received was
due to that cause.
Operators on the long side, in conse-
quence. moved slowly today, and this
tendency was emphasized by the fact that
outside buying of investment stocks,
which supported the market last week,
PLAYED only a small part in the days
transactions.
Added restraint was imposed by the dis
inclination of traders to take on new
lines on the day before delivery of Presi-
dent wilson's message to Congress on
trust questions, which. is expected to be
of large influence upon sentiment in the
financial world.
Reading was the conspicuous exception
to the days movement. 1t was consistent
ly under pressure, and its backwardness
was a drag on the general market.
The coppers were strong being influ-
enced by increasing activity in the metal
markets here and abroad.
Steel shares also were in good demand.
London buying of steel and the coppers
assisted New -York's upturn in these
shares.
In other quarters of the market Lon
don also sold stocks. Although demand
for the high grade investment stocks fell
off, the bond market preserved a strong
tone.
Traders referred to the continued alb
sorption of bonds at rising prices as one
of the best indications of Improvement
in the general situation. Offering this
week of the New Yorlzs state issues of
AZ per cent bonds, will afford clear
test of the investment situation, with all
indications now pointing to a success
full outcome.
