STAPLE
 MAKES GOOD GAIN
After Jumping About All Day Cotton Closes With
 Gains of B to 50 Points

New York, December 17.-Irregular early fluctuations were followed by a very sharp rally in the cotton market to- day. After selling at 2S9Sc on the open ing, January broke to 2S6Oc, but advanced to 2917c in the late trading, with the general list closing firm at a net ad- vance of S5 to 50 points.
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of 10 to 29 points on a renewal of the buying, which had been in progress on the late rally of Saturday. The bulge encountered further Wall street and lo- cal liquidation, however, and prices soon turned easier. There was some New Or leans selling on the setback which car ried active months about 15 to 2S points net lower during the middle of the morn ing with December selling at 29.45c, March at 2S.13c and May at N92c. Offer ings then subsided, with the market turning firmer following rumors that private returns indicated a ginning of only 10140,000 bales prior to December 13 Such figures would indicate a very sharp falling off as compared with the previous ginning period. Recent sellers for 8 re- action evidently became nervous and prices advanced rapidly in the late trad ing. Spot house brokers were also good buyers, particularly of May. That de- livery sold up to 2S.55c, while March touched 2S.77c and December 30.10c, or 37 to 50 points higher. Last prices were at approximately the best point of the day.
 Further talk of coal shortage in rela- ton to domestic mill consumption Was heard during the morning, but was mod flied by statement from the deputy fuel administrator of South Carolina to the effect that there was no ground for fearing curtailment of production through scarcity of fuel in that state.

BOTTOM FALLS OUT
 FAVOR|TE STOCKS
List Includes Such Large Calibre Industrials as
 American Tobacco

New York, December 1.-The week De- fore Christmas opened with resump- ton of liquidation, high-grade securities continuing to recede to well nisht ih- credible levels.
 Reports from Washington intimatlng that the important question of federal supervision of railroads might remain In allowance over the holidays added to the depression prevalent in banking and other quarters.
 Increased weakness of bonds as evi- denced by lower quotations for Anglo French 5s and various domestic rails and industrials. gave fresh emphasis to the complete abstention of investment inquiry.
 Rallies of i to points occurred in the active final hour, restoring some is- sues to last weeks final prices, while a few industrials and rails scored nomi- nal gains.
 Prominent among the new minimums of the session were such rails as Union Pacific, Northern Pacific, Norfolk and Western and Atchison and industrials of the calibre of American Tobacco, Texas company and Mexican Petroleum. Specialties of the inactive class re- acted to points, with to for ship pings, coppers and motors, while Amer ican Telephone, Consolidated Gas and Western Union were weak at or near new low records. Consolidated Gas of Baltimore met a net decline of 12 points. Liberty 4s duplicated their minimum at 97, later recovering to 97.16, the 31ac rang ing between 9S.46 and S9.5O. Total sales par value, aggregated 4350,O0O.
 United States bonds, old issues, were unchanged on call.

New York Quotations
New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, December 1.-The main influence in cotton here today was the report that ginning for this last period extending between December 1 and 13 had fallen off sharply and that the re- turn to be made public Thursday would confirm the recent short crop estimate from the department of agriculture. Fol lowing a sharp break in the early trad ing prices rose strongly until they were fl to 45 points over the final quotations of last week. Last prices were practi- cally at the highest levels, showing net gain for the season of fl to 43 points,
 On the opening the market was higher and soon after the first call trading months were to 15 points up. This im- provement brought out heavy selling, ap- parently for short account, and the mar ket gave way. The advance was quickly replaced by a declinue which finally carried the market Is to 19 points under Saturdays close. Toward the middle of the day a better feeling developed and in the afternoon the tone was decidedly firm.
 Spots were 12 points off at 2s.Ssc for middling. but this was generally consid- cred reflection of last weeks declines.

Over ". E. Campbell's Wire

New Orleans, December 17.-After feel ing rather heavy selling during the early session today, the cotton market firmed up on rumor that private forecasts of ginning for this last period due tomor- row would be bullish. Late in the day prices were 28 to 31 points over the close of last week. Around the opening, the market stood to 15 points up, from which it fell off to a net decline of 16 to 19 points. The selling that carried values off appeared to be of much the same character as the selling of last week. New York said that Wall street and western interests were leading in the selling there.
 The pending census bureau report on ginning to December 13 will be issued Thursday morning at g o'clock. Rumors today were that ginning for this last period was smaller than for same pe- rlod last year. Private ginning returns are expected tomorrow. Our own opinion Is that ginning this period can hardly be less than it was this period last year; if it should be less then this crop Is almost sure to turn out smaller than the government estimate of 9,949,000 bales. This period last year there were ginned 900 bales and this period two years ago 603,000 bales. The figures of two years ago furnish the fairer comparison for this period. The market acts sold out and is beginning to act oversold, a position which leads to the opinion that it will respond to the first favorable news that develops Late in the ses- sion the advance was fl to 45 points above Saturdays close.-Shepard & Gluck

BEARS HAVE BEST
 OF T IN GRAIN PIT
Oats Go Down on Better Rail Facilities-Pr0visiOns
 Go Up With + 1gs

Chicago, December 17-NlIe sestasr, accompanied by rural notices U let reconsignments, had a bearish effect day on corn. The close was unsettled, but ssa5se net lower, with January Sl. .207s to $1.21, and May s11S7s Oats lost as9zsc. and provisions scored an advance of 25 to 70 cents.
 Growing likelihood that the near fu- ture would witness substantial ac- market throughout the day. Arrivals over Sunday were liberal and complaints of car shortage had noticeably dimin- ished. Besides. the quality of receipts showed steady improvement, the embaro on shipments eastward from Chicago remained unmooified, and the visible supply total went up to a fair extent. Under such circumstances declines set in from the outset, no improvement rally took place and what demand there was came almost entirely from local indus tries.
 Oats, like corn, eased down as a result chiefly of bettering operating conditions for the railroads. Shutting off of export inquiry, however, had an evident further depressing influence. Leading commission houses were conspicuous on the selling side.
 Higher quotations on hogs gave strength to provisions. The fact, though. that exports for the week were much smaller than last year tended somewhat to check the upward course of the mar

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, December 17.-(Special) Liverpool was weak. So with scat tered offerings from Wall street and the south the opening was easier, but when it became known that the ginnings estimate by the Nation Gin ners was bullish prices slowly but surely improved. The market has ab- sorbed what was purchased. before the bureau report and the trade ex- poets to see a better market after the turn of the new year They argue that as spinners are apt to remain out of the market from now on until the new year, that after that date we may look for a revival in the demand from them because of the admitted short supply.

 Bears fared best in the grain pit yes- terday, owing to large rural reconsign- ments of corn. Stocks will probably start to accumulate soon, as car service is much improved. Oats seem to fol- low in the wake of corn. Hogs went up and carried provisions quotations with them.
