WEEKLY REVIEW BY
THOMPSON & M'KINNoN

CHICAGO, Dec. 1. COTTON. -
There has been a noticeable dispo-
sition to accept profits. This has
temporarily checked the upward
trend in the market and some re-
action would not be out of place at
the present time. In view, hoyever,
of the coming estimate from the
government on the size of the crop
and as the prevailing belief is that
the crop is very short, we doubt if
any material set back will be ex-
perienced. The weekly figures show
more moderate takings by spinners
than last year. being S25, 900 less ror
the week and about 100000 less
for the season to date. This how
ever, is one Of the natural conse-
quences of a situation such as we
have at present-reduced supplies
and higher level of values. We see
no reason to alter the views which
we have frequently expressed: that
a high level Of values will no doubt
be maintained for the balance of
the season.
CORN-No weakness has been
displayed in either cash corn or fu-
lures, but there has been an easy,
draggy undertone. Buyers OF both
futures and cash are not urgent in
their demands, il being commonly
accepted by all interests that the
movement will increase considerably
and that the demand inasmuch as
il is for the immediate need, Will
| soon be fully supplied. There has
/ been inflU entail sort of selling in
the Decem Der and January although
of small proportions. 1t is coming
10 be believed that the January fu-
lures will be subjected TO consider
ably more pressure from cash in
| terests than the December has been.
Owing 10 the fact that husking op-
erations have been delayed beyond
a normal. in an effort TO improve
the condition, we incline 10 the be-
lief that opposition to advances will
be encountered upon any appear
ance of strength in the futures.

one-haf million daily.
STOCK.-The publication of the
views of Lord Lansdowne has had
a worldwide effect, though in Lon
don semi-Official statements have
been made opposing the views ex-
pressed. The fact remains that it
is a peace document from a high
source and has brought forth an
equally frank avOwal of moderate
war aims from German and Aus
trian officialdom. 1t is just ulch an
incident that frequently leads to in
formal discussion and concludes
with tangible results. The general
fly Of the worlds judgment did not
believe war possible "a hours before
it occurred and will not believe
peace possible until it is a reality.
The fact, however. remains that
what seems impossible one day real
~ occurs the next. The weeks de-
velopments have not been of a char
acter TO materially alter fixed views
as to our markets. Bearish senti-
ment dominated, and while recess
sions are noted, the impression on
values was slight, considering the
unsettled state Of the worlds af-
fairs. There are several matters of
importance that need clearing UP
which would aid much in altering
existing views. Primarily a dispo-
sition Of the rate controversy by
the interstate commerce commits
sion. 1t is possible that a decision
may be rendered in this case i'm
mediately. We can but express the
hope that il will he favorable and
aid in the reestablishment Of con-
hdence in our leading industry
There were no marked features in
today's operations, except contin-
ued strength and a further advance
in Studebaker. We continue to fee
friendly toward all industrial stocks
and, in the absence of new distur-
Dances, these stocks should do bet
