Chicago Inter Ocean says:

The Chicago Inter Ocean says:
sentiment in wheat was more mixed
than of late, although a majority of the
commission house opinions sent out last
night favored the buying side on breaks,
on the theory that crop accidents are
with the bulls
Corn traders are puzzled over the
present situation. The best men in the
corn trade admit that they are unable
to see ahead in as clear a manner as
IN the past, and they have assumed a
trading position for the present. The
seaboard reported $50 900 bushels of corn
at Manitoba, including a cargo to Brazil
and $4,000 bushels of hard winter wheat
sold for export"
ONO January crop report makes con-
dition of winter wheat 1O1 per cent,
same as in December, compared with
90 per cent last year. July condition
was "a per cent. Condition of corn in

WILSON 5 MESSAGE
Document Was Conservative and
Will Help to Restore Conf
dence of Investor.
BY CHARLES w. STORM.

NEW YORK. Jan. 20.-Speculation as
to the nature and probable effect of
without effect on the stock market to-
day, except TO cause feeling of hest
fancy in some quarters.
New York closely followed the lead Of
the London market, whose traders had
exhibited a cautious front and the price
changes at the opening here were malr-
ly confined to fractions.
The most notable exception was Can
adam Pacific, which was outside of the
direct influence of the presidential mes
sage. Canadian Pacific fell Us to 2l2B
within the first fifteen minutes, but
ultimately made a partial recovery.
This was equal to the decline recorded
in the London cables and was attributed
by some brokers TO the operations of d
newly formed pool in that stock.
Among the declines here were Titan
Copper Is, United States Steel common
q, Amalgamated Copper Is. Chesapeake
and Ohio a. Erie IS, Great Northern
ore y.
Trading was not on a large scale.
Americans in London were firm, but
traders evinced tendency to await the
Wilson message. Canadian Pacific in
London was reactionary. Not only were
pool operations held responsible, but
an article in The Financial Times pre-
dlcted that the system might have diff
ficulty this year in financing the needs
of the road. Mexican railway shares
points higher on reports from Mexico
that Huerta might resign soon.
After the first hour of trading the
general list was quiet and price changes
in the leading issues were confined with
in a narrow range. Mexican Petroleum,
however, was an exception, jumping
fractionally until it advanced 5 points.
Western Union moved up a and some
of the low priced specialties were in
better demand. Union Pacific and Read
ing advanced "a. Steel and the copper
issues were unchanged.
Call money loaning at 2 per cent.
Price changes were unimportant in the
last hour. Western Union went to 601a
for a gain over the midday range, but
Steel sold off slightly, Canadian Pacific
sold around 2155s for a gain of "a from
the noon price. Mexican Petroleum held
around 60& American Smelling de-
clined
The market closed steady.
Government bonds unchanged. Other
bonds steady.

COTTON GOSSIP

NEW YORK, Jan. 20.-The selling on
and after the call was rather general.
Schill and Rice were the principal SELL
some spot houses. New Orleans and
Wall street bought
The market has no snap. but general
sentiment continues bullish.
New York wired New orleans that the
selling was due chiefly in expectation
of large ginning figures. but conserva-
tive cotton men in New Orleans said
that there was no inclination there TO
follow the decline, as futures are too
much under spot prices and that 10000
or 80 900 bales more in the coming Cen
sus report means nothing.
Spot people say there is large short
interest for February March shipments
among exporters and competition to get
the stuff will put prices higher.-kotier.
Memphis reports that besides $500
spots sold yesterday at lac advance,
about 1000 bales were sold after hours
yesterday at full prices.
New Orleans wires: Option prevails
that a considerable short interest is in
futures and spots is hoping for a little
eaSiness on the Census report in order
to cover better advantage. Spot de-
mand is already showing up here to-day.
-kofier.
Talk around the ring was that 1t has
become harder than ever to ring OUT
March contracts.
Fort Worth. Texas, wired Norman
Mayer & Co. recently that spots are
strong with a heavy demand for all
grades. High grades advancing daily.
Can the market be bulled from this
level? Bulls think 1t can be, especially
as they are counting on some 100000
bales of very low grade cotton in sd-
diton to about 100000 to 100000 bales
of linters.

HAYWARD & cLARk'S
DAILY COTTON LETTER

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 2o.-Liverpool
is very steady, but spot sales were
smaller to-day, possibly in consequence
of larger ginning forecasts. 1t is not
likely, however. that 10000 or 10000
bales more in the coming Census report
will affect supply views, as a total crop
of around 14,250.000 bales is now pretty
well accepted by the world as the basis
to work on
Liverpool sends the bulish news that
goods business with India shows no de
crease. in spite of reports of bad trade
conditions in that country.
Our market opened few points easier
in sympathy with New York, but there
was no inclination to follow any bear
move; futures are at too great dis
count; the coming Census report is con
sidered too unimportant, and spot peo-
pie report a strong situation in the ac-
tual. A large export short interest is
thought to exist with exporters for Feb
ruary. March shipment and competi-
ton to obtain the qualities sold is LA
BILE to cause a further advance in spot
prices.
The market settled around 1895 for
May and is quiet but steady.
The movement is very heavy, giving
promise OF large exports in the near fu
ture. but Fridays statistics will appear
bearish on the surface and, combined
with a Census publication, a recession
is most likely, for which, however, a
large spot and contract short interest
seems to be hoping in order to cover
to better advantage.

COTTON STEADY
ON GOOD BUYING
Bearisih Ginning Figures Have
Little Effect-Strong Spots
Dominating Factor.

NEW YORK. Jan. Chickering'S at
the opening of the cotton market car
, ried prices down and the quotations
| ranged from 4 up to points lower than
last nights close. Liverpool was dull.
but reported that Manchester spnners
were short of cotton. Trade dispatches
from Texas reported a good foreign de-
mand for the Southwest crop. New Or
| leans brokers and same OF the Wall
street operators were reported best buy
ers on the opening. which resulted in
prices rallying some to Z points from
the opening range. After the call, how
ever. offerings became rather general,
some of which coming from spot inter-
| ests, which was thought to be profit
taking. which carried prices back to the
| start
General sentiment is favorable to a
further upturn. but as usual just be-
dull and narrow Ewes of the whole
| trade are on the ginning report to oe
| published at 10 a. m. Friday. The trade
| here expects that report to show a total

ginned to January l. and 1890, 432 bales
ginned to December IS, 1918, against
! l3,091,264 bales gined to January l6,
| last year.
The market was quiet and dull dur
| ing the late forenoon with outside bust
| ness very light and transactions around
| the ring limited.
Turner's ginning figures Of $4,000
| bales for the period, or 10, 900 bales
| to January Is, brought out selling by
commission houses and profit taking by
| few of the ring operators, but there
was demand on the few points set
| back coming from a few brokers close
| ly Identified with some of the larger in
terests. This checked a decline, which
such figures, in the minds of a good
many traders, would Justify.
Sentiment Is becoming more bullish

! or less ginned is not regarded seri-
ously.

that the business section is rapidly
extending southwark.

SITUATION In NORTH
FRANCE Is UNCHAFrED
SAYS OFFICIAL REPORT

LONDON. Sept. 20. $50 D. m.-The
lighting of the past few days. which
took the form of heavy offensive op-
erations. has not changed TO any
marked extent the positions OF the op-
posing armies in Northern France.
Some hard blows have been struck by
each side. but the armies remain prac-
tically where they were when the Ger.
mans stopped their retirement and
commenced to entrench themselves.
The lengthy Official communication
issued to-day by the French general
stan makes this plain. The lines of
the allies are roughly sketched in the
statement. and Il is gathered that the
French right still rests on Pont-A-
Mousson. and from there turns south
ward 10 cross the Meuse near ST Mi
hiei. where the Germans have sec.
ceeded in pushing a contingent for
ward.
Thence the front proceeds north
ward to encircle Nerdun. from which
fortress is strikes directly westward
