PRICES REACT AFTER
 VIGOROUS OPENING
Cotton Advances 5 Points From Low Level of
 Last Friday

New York. December 20,--The cotton market was comparatively quiet today and fluctuations were irregular. March sold at 12.S0c at the opening but soon eased off to 12.1Sc and closed at 12.20c with the general list closing steady at a net advance of to II points. Late months were relatively firm, most of the present crop deliveries showing final gains of only to points.
 Firmness in Liverpool and private ca bles reporting very small offerings of actual to the English trade appeared to stimulate the covering movement which was in progress here at the close Of last week
 The market opened firm at an ad- vance of to l6 points in consequence with January selling at 12c, May at 12.56c and July at 1269c on or immedi- ately following the call. This made an advance of about 30 to 35 points from the low level of last Friday which was evidently sufficient to attract realiz- ing on the part of recent buyers for reaction. It seemed, too, that the i'm provement was running the market into increased selling by houses with Mem phis and New Orleans connections while notwithstanding the strength abroad, Liverpool had very few buying orders here and prices soon turned easier After reacting to within or points of Saturdays final figures, the selling tapered off and subsequent fiue- tuations were narrow and irregular. January sold as low as 11.S9c, while May touched 12.4Sc and July 12.56c with the close showing rallies of only a point or two from the lowest.
 New Orleans was seller here late in the day and the offerings may have been promoted by the easier tone of the New Orleans spot market Other southern spot markets were steady to a little higher and while there was talk of a little southern hedge selling here during the afternoon, bearish sentiment seemed to be more impor- tantly based on the smalled export movement The census report showing 10,303,25S bales gnned was about in line with expectations. Business in fact was considered largely in the way of evening up for over the holidays.

HOLIDAY DULLNESS ON COTTON MARKET Prices Take Advance During Early Trading But Was
 Quickly Pared Down

New Orleans, December 20.--After a moderate bulge the local cotton mar ket settled down into holiday dullness today and closed at net gain of 1 to 6 points. During the greater part of the season prices were at net advance of about half a dozen points. Upward movements were met by selling, appar- ently for short account
 In the early trading prices rose Is to IA points on buying based on the bullish showing made by the ginning returns from the census bureau The total of 10,S03,2 ,253 bales to December 13 was smaller than generally expect ed and the claim was made by the long side that the small crop esti- mate recently made by the government had been confirmed.
 The buying movement did not last long. Increased offerings met the ad- vance and it was quickly pared down to 8 to points. In. the afternoon the market became unsettled after the posting of spot quotations, showing a loss of an eighth of a cent a pound

WHEAT REACHES
 HIGHEST PRICE
Immense Export Trade Send Prices Soaring and Mar
 ket Closed Steady

Chicago, December 20-Wheat today mounted to the highest price so far on the 1915 crop. An immense export trade was in progress. and the market closed strong l7sQ3hc net higher, with December at Sl21 and May at $l221z Corn finished un- changed to 14c higher oats up 1sG1.e to l4c. and provisions varying from 121sc de- cline to rise of 15c.
 Estimates of the export sales of wheat today made the total as much as 1, ,75O, 900 bushels, The bulk Of this aggregate was said to have been taken by Great Britain apparently as the result of action by British authorities in virtually comman- deering vessels so as to facilitate the move- ment ofsgrain from the American side of the Atlantic. Stocks were said to be de- creasing to a serious extent at Liver pool, and prospects were less favorable for an early movement from Australia Assertions that a sharp falling off in re- ceipts from the Dakotas and Minnesota might be looked for tended also to give confidence to the bulls
 Notwithstanding that owners of wheat sold freely to realize profits, the advance met with no important check at any time Even a huge enlargement of the United States visible supply total seemed to give no special advantage to the bears. Traders generally had discounted the increase which was in measure offset, too, by the fact that the total was made to include Buffalo stocks afioat
 Corn was upheld by the strength of wheat Otherwise the market was in- clined to sag owing to cold weather and to the outlook for more liberal receipts
 Oats swayed with corn. A decided cut in the estimated exportable surplus of Argentina furnished little help to the bulls.
 Firmness showed itself in most of the rovisions options. A moderate amount of investment buying appeared to be the chief cause. Offerings were light,

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, Decep1ber 0-tSpecial.) )--The
 ginners' report this morning was slightly
 lower than due and as there appeared to be no selling orders of volume in the market prices opened at an advance of some b points over Saturdays close; Jan
 uary liquidation. however, continued in sufficient volume to check . the advance and the market remained dull, with little feature through most of the day. As January is at full carrying charge un- der March there appeared to be demand for the January at the discount from spot houses. The lack of speculation and the bearsh feeling of exporters has created a very pessimistic feeling in the trade, as has been the case before this year several times; the strength of the Liverpool mar

Sugar Market

New Work, December 20.-The market for raw sugar was quieter, no sales be- ing reported. It was understood that op- orators would buy at the present level, but refiners are out of the market en- tirely.
 Offerings were light and the undertone appeared to be firm at the following quo- tations: Cubas, cost and freight, SIS; centrifugal, 4S9; molasses, 412. Refined was quiet and unchanged on the basis of 595 for fine granuated. Cuban ad- vices indicate a scarcity of freight room, which may affect early shipments to Europe.
 Futures were rather firm early on com- mission house support, but later met realizing sales and eased off, with closing prices 16 points lower on December and to points lower on the other positions. January ranged from 3S0 to 370 closing 371; March 349 to 342, closing 342; May 35S to 344, closing 34S.

ket. however, would seem to indicate that Liverpool must have some cotton and so far as the difficulties of export are con- cerned it would seem that this is more or less up to the south. Unless they give way if is likely that Great Britain will gradually take the cotton which she must have and that the actual cotton now in the south will not prove menace tt prices as is so generally anticipated.
