.F|RMER TONE ON
COTTON MARKET
Traders Optimistic Over APP
preaching Government
Report

New York, December 6.-While some-
what irregular the cotton market showed
a generally firmer tone with May con-
per bale above the low level of yesterday
That delivery closed at 2o59c and the
general list closed very steady at net
advance of 20 to 81 points.
The steadier tone which developed dur
ing yesterdays late trading was encour-
aged at the opening this morning by the
firmer ruling of Liverpool Private cables
attributed this largely to overnight polit-
cal developments, and houses with Liver
pool connections were good buyers around
the local ring. Buying also was encour-
aged by the bulfish average of southern
spot advance and after starting at an adj
vance of 10 to % points the market sold
about Is to 20 points net higher during
the early trading. These prices attra cted
considerable realizing by people who had
purchased on the decline of yesterday
drawn, the market turned rather easier
under profit taking and scattered local
selling. The reaction carried January
contracts off from N.14c to zoe during
the early afternoon while March sold
from AS7c to POPS but offerings were
well taken and the market firmed nm
again. Houses with western connections
were good buyers on the late advance.
While there was renewed covering and
the highest levels of the day were rach-
ed IN the late trading with January SELL
ing at 20.15c and March at 20. 4oc' THE
close was within a point or two of the
pesct: The better tone in Liverpool and
the failure of southern spot markets to
snow greater weakness during the recent
aechne IN futures seemed to be RESPONSE
BILE for renewed talk of ultimately much
higher prices in some quarters around the
rlns. A good part of the buying was
attributed to covering by recent sellers.
however, while there also was some sup
port on the stronger technical position
and the expectation of further rally
before the publication of approa ching

Sugar Market

New York, December 6.-The market
for raw sugar was firmer at slight ad-
vance on sales of 6700 bags of Peruvian
sugar in port at 6-16c c. /. f., equal to
$500 for centrifugal SO test, duty paid.
This established the market on the basis
of $3.50 for centrifugal and 6.42c for mo-
lasses. No sales of Cubas were reported
aside from 10000 bags for January, Feb
ruary and March shipment at 4isc cost
and freight, equal to 514c for centrifugal,
but it was generally believed that refin-
ers would pay 11-16c cost and freight
on the spot, or equivalent to $3.50 for CEN
trifugal, but holders were asking 4S4c.
In refined trading was very quiet and
prices remained unchanged at 7.20c for
fine granulated. 1t was said that no Sec
ond-hand sugars were available, as yes
terday's transactions cleaned the market
of ali sugars at 7.15c
Price changes in futures were irregular
with December higher OH covering and
in sympathy with the ffrmness of the
spot market, while other positions were
a shade easier under scattered Wall
street selling. Closing prices were
points higher to net lower, with sales
of 5000 tons. December sold from 1850 to
Also, closing 4.73c; March, 4.02c to 4.05c,
closing 4.O4c; May, 4.0Sc, closing 4.0Sc;
July closed 4.14c.

'HARES REFLECT
STEADY PRESSURE
Relaxation of Money Rates
Prompt Fresh Specula-

New York, December 6.-Relaxation OF

ventures today, although the movement
OF stocks was hardly regular or uniform,
some shares reflectng steady pressure.
Inc maximum rate for call loans was

The easing of money was ascribed to
another heavy inflow from Canada, a

standard shares of that group were either

BUYING WAVE SENDS
COTTON PRICES UP
Market Is Stimulated by I'm
proved Spot Accounts and
Close Was Steady

Now orleans, December GA buying
wave developed on the cotton market to-
day. which, toward the end Of the ses-
sion, put the price % to 81 points UP.
A much higher Liverpool than expected
and more favorable messages from that
market, bearing on politics, started the
upward trend. To some extent the mar
ket was stimulated by improved spot ac-
counts.
Around the opening trading months
were q to q points over Yesterday s
close. Several setbaeks occurred, but
the market always recovered. For
awhile, around the middle of the day,
the report that an American ship had
been torpedoed without warning had an
unfavorable effect.
A part of the buying late in the day
appeared based on expectations of bull
lish ginning returns in. the report due
Friday from the census bureau. The
close was practically at the highest.

WHEAT MARKET
SHARPLY UPGRADE
Huge Export Sales Send
Prices Up and Close
Was at Net Gain

Chicago, December 6.-IIuge export
sales carried the wheat market today
sharply upgrade Prices, although unset
tied at the close were 234c to 47tc net
high, with May at s1.s07s to s1.s1A and
July at $1.50% Corn gained 21sc to 25lo,
oats 1Ac to NC, and provisions 21sc
to Csc.
Purchases of wheat for Europe today
were on such big scale that the total
amount taken this week to go as soon as
possible across the Atlantic was swollen
to 100000 bushels. The market conse-
duently was active and strong nearly the
entire day. The rush to the buying side
began as soon as trading opened and
Notwithstanding that Dutch, Greek and
Belgian requirements were said to have
been about filled the bulls continued in
control as a result of references to food
shortage in Great Britain and in allied
countries and to difficulty of imports
from Australia and India. Besides Eu-
ropean crop advices were generally unfa-
vorable and it was announced that owing
to the extraordinary shortage in Argen-
tina the sale Of wheat there would be
prohibited unless at above a fixed mini
mum price.
Increased marine war risk insurance
and an erroneous report that an Amer
lean steamer had been sunk led at one
time to selling drive in the wheat pit
The effects on the market, however soor
commenced to wear off and appears to
be almost forgotten after the fact was
established that the vessel in question
was flying a French flag.
In corn the scantiness of rural. offer
ings tended to bring about an advance
which was given further impetus by q
forecast of rough weather The strength
of wheat was also a decided bull ele-
ment. Oats responded to the gains ir
other cereals. Some export business was
said to have been done.
Higher quotations on hogs and grain
lifted the provision market The best
demand was for lard.

New York, December 6.--(Special 1.-THE
cotton market today, purged of weak and
timid longs on the decline of yesterday,

displayed in the Liverpool market this
morning.

was not until the closing hour that some
of the locals attempted a drive against
prices. This, however, encountered I'M

quickly advanced to the best figures of
the day. We still believe prices are
likely to work materially higher between

Mans Eyes

From the Popular Science Monthly.
Aside from the monkey, man is the
only animal having what we call BIZ
nocular single vision. That is. he can
tell not only the direction of an OBJ
Jeet. but he can estimate fairly ac-
curately its distance This is because
both of his eyes point at the same
object at the same time. like two
range finders. Other animals do not
concentrate their gaze in this way.
Their eyes are set more nearly at the
sides OF the head so that they see
not only forward but backward for
short distance. Man, on the con-
trary, sees clearly only the object at
which he looks directly.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, December 6.--(Special. "A
quick recovery in Liverpool from the de-
preston of the last week, together with
local buying, based on the ideas that we
presented yesterday has brought about
a reaction of SIS points from the lowest
level touched here on the decline. So
far there has been little increase in the
number of outside BUYERS, but the trad
ers who believe the market should ad-
vance before the bureau report feel that
they will be attracted by any further
advance.
Marine insurance premiums have been
advanced because of the increased war
risk, while many of the local traders are
talking about possibility of peace be-
cause of the change of political leaders
In England. They look forward to firm
Liverpool in the morning.
