WALL STREET OFF
 TO STRONG WEEK
All Stocks Hold Up After Promis-
 ing Opening

Wall Street-In the absence Of un toward events over the weekend the stock market seemed disposed at to- days opening to augment the many gains recorded last Saturday. Pop ular industrials including those in the so-called war class, were higher by material fractions of two points, cop pers, oils and shippings displaying similar tendencies. Central Leather, Cuba Cane Sugar, Studebaker, Amer ican Woolen and National Enameling also were firm to strong. Rails were the only laggards, that group show ing little animation.
 Trading broadened and initial gains were supplemented in the increased activity of the first half hour. Rails caught up with the general movement, especially coalers, Chicago and Alton, Missouri Pacific and Southern Rail- way preferred. Realizing for profits exerted the customary deterrent ef- feet, reactions ranging from one to two points in equipments and ship pings. Bonds were irregular.
 Marines, metals and some leading industrials eased off in the early af- ternoon, Bethlehem Stee1( old stock) losing five points. Harvester com pany, Colorado Fuel, gas shares and fertilizers were stronger at gains of two to five points.
 Closing-Crucible Steel and Texas company as well as sugars at extreme gains of three to six points were the conspicuous features of the final hour. The closing was strong. Sales were estimated at 100000 shares.

Weekly Cotton Statistics

New York, December 7-The cotton
 market has been nervous and unsettled
 during the entire week. Ever since the
 advance to the 30-cent level for Decem-
 Der contracts toward the end of last
 month, there has been an evident dis
 position to liquidate long contracts
 around the ring. During the earlier
 stages of this selling movement the
 decline was accompanied by reports of
 increased spot offerings which naturally
 encouraged talk of lower prices. As the market worked down, however, trade was a change in the character of the spot news from the south. Holders were said to be withdrawing their offerings with such reports colored to some ex- | tent by the smaller sales officially re- ported in the leading markets. Com
 bined with the buying by trade interests, these advices had a tendency to check 1 fresh selling for short account but ev- cry rally seemed to meet increase from one source or another, with the decline extending to 23.07c for January or about | 176 points from the recent high record The volume of business then subsided. with the market showing moderate ral- I lies toward the end of the week on con tinued trade buying and covering. At the close tonight local brokers said I there had been very considerable re- duction in the outstanding interest for over the approaching government report 1 According to latest advices, private gin- ming returns to December indicate a total of about s7oS, 900 bales. compared 1 with 10,s52.031 last year and 9073,S12 two | years ago.

EMBARGO ON GRAIN
 CAUSES WEAKNESS
Holders Liquidate on a Large Scale in Oats
 Market
By BRIGGS

Chicago. December 7.-Pronounced weakness in the grain market resulted today from an embargo on corn and oats eastbound from Chicago, beginning De- cember 10 Corn closed heavy. ssG1c net lower, with January $1.21MG1.2lA, and May $1.1sAQ1.19. Oats finished 2sQSiao down, and provisions off 12Q45c.
 The ban on eastward shipments started corn prices down grade at once. It was conceded on all sides that the probable effect of the embargo would be to build up stocks here and at other important terminals, especially when the increasing supply of cars in the corn belt began to exercise greater influence. Gossip was current that within a fortnight the de- livery of the entire total of 10000 cara which the government had ordered to the west would be completed. The fact that the snowfalls throughout the chief producing states had not been of char acter to interfere with the curing of corn acted as a further bar to any important rally.
 Liquidation by holders took place on large scale in the oats market. The De- cember optioqsin particular suffered In value.
 Provisions fell with grain and hogs Government buying for Great Britain and Belgium tended somewhat to check the decline.

Naw orleans, December 7.-Moderate declines resulted in cotton here today s,on a continuation of the liquidating movement from the long side prepara- torv to going over the two bureau re- norts of the near future. With the ex- cention of a short period around the onening the market stood at small net decline all day, closing at net loss of 17 to 26 points.
 Around the first call the strongest ,,,ontbs were to 6 points up, but or farines soon increased and prices sag gad at the lowest of the morning, standing 13 to 19 points under yes tsrday,s close InS the early afternoon . steadier feeling developed on the 1arge mill takings for the week, but the loss of S1 a bale in spot quotations iH. creased selling toward the end. and tha close was at the lowest levels of tho session .. evidence throughout the day in ex- nectations of tomorrow's ginning fig tres from the census bureau would show a. large output for the period, but tbese expectations, in some measure, ware offset by reports from northern sections of the cotton region that gin- ning was so far finished that many gins were running only one day a week.
