CHICAGO, Dec. 2S.-Wheat swung downward
in value eoday chiefly owing to sympathy with
declines in the New YORK stock market. There
were also authoritative assertions that esti-
mates OF a very large export business had been
exaggerated. Demand appeared to be continr-
ing and it was said that country elevator stocks
in the northwest were only One-quarter OF last
years total az this time. Opening prices,
which ranged from X to * lower, with May at
Sill to $1.I2h and July at $1.40 were followed
by a moderate rally but then a fresh decline.
Indications that purchases of wheat were
being made by the British government, led to
subsequent show of relative strength in the
market despite temporary interruptions due to
further weakness on the New York stock mar
ket. The close unsettled at y to pa net
lower with May at $1.72A to "a and July
at 81 3S% to 81 80.
Lack of buying power was evident in the
scorn crowd. Fit specula tors leaned to the SELL
ing side. After opening 4 to &@B lower,
prices recovered somewhat and then again
sagged.
l.ightness of receipts tended somewhat to
harden corn prices in the later trading. The
close was nervous at y to 1c net decline.
Oats merely reflected the course of other ce-
reals. Changes in quotations, though, were
within narrower limits
Mquidating sales by scattered holders weak
ened provisions. Tie only support from
shorts.

NEW YORK SUGAR MARKET

JOhN +. CLARK & CO. COTTON LETTER.
NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 2s.-Liverpool today
scored another big advance showing futures
about % points up, with spot quotations ~
points higher; sales 5000 bales. An adjustment
after the main liquidation had to come
there as well as in our markets and Liver
pool had declined so much more than our mar
kets, as shown by reduction in parity, and as
tonnage conditions for cotton at present seems
worse rather than better, Liverpool has to
fetch up so much more than markets.
it was reported today that under an order
from the British government, applying from jan
uary 1, 50 per cent of all steamer room is to
be reserved for food and war material, leaving
only 10 per cent for other cargo. This, it is
thought, might cause further advance in Liv-
erpool.
The advance on our side yesterday came
quickly on small short covering in absence of
further bear pressure, but the market adj
vanced the strong technical condition attracted
attention land as a large number of people and
interests are undoubtedly waiting to get in on
future peace effect and did not want to see the
market slip away, anticipative peace buying
developed and quickened the advance iowa rds
the end. This class Of buying was again in evil
Ience this morning and caused a higher opening
and held the new gains. There is Il we'll
formed opinion that after the heavy HQuida ton
n grain, stocks and cotton, the first step to
1eace adjustment has been made and that the
general situation in the country is on more solid
ground. After opening about 10 points higher
the demand was steady and broadening, CARRYING
the market in a nearly unbroken line up to

is locking up cotton, not only in the shape of
contracts nut also IN spots.

The day, 81 up
Spots are still quiet but very firmly held
and as futures again at a workable pre-

SYRIAN WOMEN
GET AID In CITY
Incense and Poems Gain
$4,000 for Starving
People

With little gifts Of frankincense in
their hands and little Syrian poems on
their lips three hundred ssd-eycd
Syrian women went through tho bust
ness section Of New York yesterday.
They were asking for bread for starv-
ing Syria, and Wall Street gave them
not even n stone. Wall Street gave
them the door.
The fact that the people of Syria are
starving couldn't alter the iron rule
against beggsrs and book agents which
prevails in all the large office build
ings. The little women Of Syria were
obliged to take their frankincenso out
to the street corners, and there depend
on the hurrying crowds for gifts.
However, the day was not unproht-
able. Three thousand dollars was taken
in. and many promised 20 send checks
Of larger denominations TO the head
quarters. At So Broadway. Private ap-
peals for subscriptions among Amerl-
can firms which have business dealings
with Syria will be carried on during the
week.
The Syrian Mount Lebanon Relief
Committee includes five Americans
James l. Barton. Samuel T. Dutton,
Hamilton Holt, Frederick LyEsh ana
Arthur J. Brown. The chairman 81
Naiib Kisbsny. and the secretary Gibran
X. Gibrar. Under their direction the
committee had printed large number
Of appealing leaflets, headed By the
lines Of A. Rihani a Syrian poet, as
follows:
\ Whit o. f-aukincensc from SYRIA tslis-
man for thee.
T. vi,he;h thee more than yesterday Of thy

SYRIA sends thee the inccnse-her crystal
