CORN AND OATS BOTH
 SHOW LARGE GAINS
Car Shortage Is Becoming Acute-Market Stronger
 All Along the Line

Chicago, November 2f-Severe dif- fieulty in obtaining cars to move grain from interior points to terminal mar kets tended today to advance corn prices here. and so too did General Haigs victory. The close was un- settled, F MI1zc net higher with Jan uary $1.19k 6DL195s, and May sL171a q HTS. Oats gained F c %c, and pro- visions 70 COG.
 It was not until long after the first news of the big British success was received that corn showed strength. AS rule. traders were not quick to grasp the magnitude of the British achievements and were inclined to pessimism over prospects of new re- strictions on trading. Much uncertain ty existed also as to effects which transportation troubles would have on values. Advices, however, that implied acute embarrassment resulting from inability to ship with any freedom out of rural sections led in the last half of the day to a decided upturn of prices.NA more complete understanding of the extent of the smashing of the Hindenburg defense had also by this time become general and had been em- phasized by security gains in Wall street.
 Oats influenced by corn scared to new high prices for the season.
 A fresh upturn in meat prices at Liverpool did much to strengthen pro- visions.

COTTON TAXES JUMP
 FOR NEW RECORDS
General List Closes Very Steady at Net Gains of
 27 to 51 Points

New York, November 21.-An early de- cline was followed by an excited ad- vance in the cotton market today with all positions making new records for the season. January deliveries sold up from 27.70c ot 2S4oc or 59 points above last nights close, and closed at 2S.43c, with the general list closing very steady at a net gain of 27 to 51 points.
 The market opened at a decline of , to 10 points and sold about IT to 22 points net lower right after the call. It looked as though the census report had been the signal for realizing or liquidat ation, and there may also have been some selling on the lower ca bles. The Liverpool decline was again attributed to prospects for better sup ply of tonnage, however, while the gln- ming of S,o59, ,390 bales to November l4 did not seem to cause any general modl- fication of crop estimates. At any rate offerings were well absorbed by the buying. of brokers with Liverpool ana domestic trade connections, and the market soon turned firmer on the re- ports of British victory on the west ern front As this news circulated the buying became active and excited and
 
 months were selling a6 to 50 points above last nights closing figures. Reactions of 15 to 20 points followed under realiz- ing promoted by talk of an easier spot basis in the south. but trading tapered off very sharply on the decline. and except for profit taking there appeared no pressure against prices. There were also reports of a good spot demand to fill out November commitments in the southwest, and the market firmed up again during the afternoon on re- newal of trade buying or covering The highest prices of the day were reached in the late trading, with December sell ing at 2S.96c and March at 8.16c. The close was within 3 or points of the best on most positions Local traders seemed disposed to compare ginning re- turns with the season of 1915 when 792 per cent of the total crop had been ginned up to November H.

BRITISH VICTORY

United States Steel Takes Leadership and Closes at
 97-Bonds Were Firm

New York, November 2l.Stocks were more susceptible to favorable influences today than at any time since the wide spread degressing engendered by the Rus sian and Italian reversals. The British victory on the western front and signih- cant developments in the domestic indus trial situation offset further pessimlstic advices from Petrograd and another slump in Italian exchange.

 United States Steel asserted its long established leadership. taking a foremost position in the advance from its low quotation of 95ss in the first hour to 9SA but reacted to 97, net gain of the small est fraction.
 Other industrials and equipments, cop pers, shippings and war specialties dis played greater firmness, though yielding from large fractions to a point. Indus trial Alcohol made an extreme advance of G1s points and a few speculative is- sues held most of their to point gains.
 The rebound in rails carried Delaware and Hudson from SS1a to 94K, while St. Paul, Louisville and Nasville, Reading and New Haven registered extreme gaiis Of 1 to S1a points.
 Lires suffered a further collapse to SS4, with no material change for other continental renittances Call money ad- vanoed to 51A per cent, but time funds were easier.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, November H.-tSpecial'l The ginning report was some"nal larger than expected so that there were outside sellers during the first hour. Europe and the American spinners brokers took these offerings. This buy ing advanced prices to those of last evening. Then came the news of the British victory in France. with renewed buying, which carried the market to a new high level some 40 points higher than yesterday. The freight situation continues acute, added to which are the difficulties of inland transportation probably there is more cotton offer ing at the advance by parties who wish to sell the cotton they have been car rying. The British victory is another illustration that the English and the French have the upper hand on the west front.

Members of the Housewives League Claim Retailers Are Gouging Them
nx JOHN c. MOSES

Members of the Housewives league complained to me yesterday that retail CTS and peddlers are claiming that wholesale quotations appearing in the daily papers are too low, and that they are paying higher prices than listed. Prices are all changed daily. The fed eral price list is sent in by the govern ment representative and corrected jam up to date.
 If housewives are being gouged by re- tailers i'll some suburbs, it Is up to them to write Mir Hobbie, food administra- tor at Montgomery, who will take the matter up at once. That's his business.
 Wholesalers were in better spirit yes- terday and reported good business, al- though some few staples were short.
 W. M. Cosby Grain and Flour com- pany report a strong demand for flour and feedstuff, with the latter hard to secure on account of car shortage. They quote changes in all grades of flour and feedstuff.
 Cotton went up Ac in all grades quoted and dealers report a strong de- mand for the staple. New shipments of fish came in yesterday
