REACTION IN RAILS
 UNSETTLES STOCKS
U. s. Steel Goes for a Rally From 91 IA to g IA.
 Bonds Lower

New York, December 1.-Leaders were uncertain or heavy at the outset of to- days short and inactive session on the stock exchange mainly in consequence of another reaction in rails.
 Industrials also were moderately un- settled with shppings and prominent specialties, but these reversals were all most entirely overcome in the last hour, United States Steel, coalers and mo- tors leading a fairly spirited recovery.
 United States Steel rallied from it's low of 9lA to point over that level, Maxwell motors gained Sh points, the first preferred and the second pre- ferred "A points.
 Harvester company rallied 3 points from it's recent depression Anaconda Copper was firm and General Electric and American Telephone improved a point or more.
 A steady tone prevailed at the close.

Weekly Financial Review

New York. December 1.1Stocks were al- most wholly influenced during this weeks operations by additional poor rail- road earnings, increasing uncertaintities in the projected pooling of eastern lines and the more complex ends arising from fci eign political and military develop ments.
 New low records for such erstwhile in vestment shares as Pennsylvania and Baltimore and Ohio, indicated the utter lack of investment inquiry, coupled with disappointment at delay on tho part of the interstate commerce commission in arriving at decision of the railroads plea for higher freight rates.
 Exchange rates on Petrograd and Romc were nominally firmer. but the available reports from the Italian front the pro- posed parleys between the central pow CTS and the element now seemingly in control of Russia's., destinies and the peace suggestions from eminent British sources tended further to obscure the whole foreign situation.
 Dealings were almost the sfiallestA of any week of the year, the holiday and additional trading restrictions reducing the daily turnover to an average of lit- tile more than 00.n90 shares.
 Domestic conditions were on more stable basis SC far As they related to industrial affairs, thres tened labor dis turbances being almost " Molly overcome Mexican issues were handscapped, how ever. by signs of fresh 'nttst in that country.

FUTURE OUTLOOK
 SENDS DOWN CORN
Oats Weakened as Cars Be came More Plentiful.
 Provisions Drop

Chicago. December 1.-Prospects of enlargement of receipts next week had much to do today with declines which took place in the value of corn. Prices, although steady at the close, were Ac to 1c net lower, with January. $l.lsss and May, S1 17s4 to s1.17%. Oats finished ssc to ac down and provisions off 9 to 55.
 Railroads appeared to be furnishing cars for corn a deal more rapidly than has been the case of late and receiving houses were further encouraged by sea sonable, clear, cold weather likely to inn prove the quality of the crop and facilitate shipments. Peace talk also received some attention. especially the offer of Austria to conclude peace with Russia on the basis of no annexation. Selling. however, was not of an aggressive character. On the other hand, weekend evening up or traders lacked volume and there was a noticeable absence of any important rallies.
 Oats weakened owing chiefly to abate- ment of car scarcity. On the downturn of the market, though, seaboard demand became broader and prices recovered somewhat.
 Sharp breaks in hog quotations carried down pork, lard and ribs. Buying on the part of commission houses increased, but the market with the exception Of pork, foi1pd fo rasnOnd

COTTON CLOSED
 AT A NET DECLINE
Liquidation Featured, While Reports Were Afloat as
 to Spot Offerings

New York, December 1.-There was fur ther scattering liquidation in the cotton market today accompanied by reports of increased spot offerings from the south. After selling at 29. Ssc early, January ral- lied to 29. .53c, but later broke to g 36c and closed at 20 3Sc with the general list closing barely steady at net decline of to 1S points.
 The market opened steady at decline of points to an advance of 19 points. most of the active months being to 6 points higher on covering and trade buy ing This demand was quickly supplied and while there was another bulge dur ing the middle of the session which car ried prices 8 shade above last night s closing. the general tendency was lower pressure from both local and southern sources. December eased off from 30. DC to 30 05c and March from g. 25c to 29.04c, closing a few points up from the lowest on covering. Early adyices reported that there had been buying of spots in the eastern belt markets late yesterday be- leved to be for foreign account and that there had been a good business at the easier basis. Some bullish sentiment was also inspired by reports of a con- tinued good demand for heavy weight cotton goods in the domestic markets and the weekly statistics showing larger spnners' takings than for the same week last year. These features were offset, however, by rumors that considerable cotton would be rendered on December before the end of the month and re- ports of larger spot offerings in the south. The volume of business was smaller than for some time past and 1t seemed the Impression that the trading since the advance of last Monday had been large ly in the way of reducing accounts. pend ing better line on approaching gov- ernment reports.

 Around the opening January was 1 points higher, but other months were off, and soon the whole list moved down. ward, the market late in the session standing at a net loss of 12 to 15 points. No aggressive selling appeared at the decline. From now on until December II the market probably will be under the influence of annual crop estimate by the government during the greater part of the time, and it will not be sur prisng to see considerable evening up in preparation for this event. although there seems to be no good req son why the figures should not be bull fish.

Over S. R. Stewart & Co.'S Wire

New York, November 30.-English and continental demand in Liverpool and good trade demand here all day was the cause of strength today. Mills were reported good buyers of spots in the south, especially at Memphis. at the highest prices of the season. Worth street reported a strong demand for goods at advancing prices. The selling was scattered and looked to be mostly profit taking The situation remains ex- ceptionally strong.
 New York, December So.-The week started out with December crossing the 3o-cent mark, recording new high fig ures for all months. Aside from this there has been very little new feature to the market there being little news. Trade interests, both domestic and for eign, have been the leading buyers. in cidentally absorbing considerable liqui- dalton on the part of longs who in many cases have considered these prices at- tractive enough to take profits and await further developments. The open contracts in the market, therefore, would appear to be almost wholly for the account of the cotton trade. Crop ideas continue in the ncighoorhood of II 100000 bales lint, which, according to the popular idea, is not enough to go around, or at least there probably will be an insufficient supply of the grades that spinners require :.
 Barring news of an unfavorable politl- cal nature, there appears to be noth- Ing in the situation to give promise of any decline of consequence. Conserva- tive purchases on all sharp setbaclxs should prove protitable.-E. 2. Hutton & Co
