There are indications, however that
General Scott will pass on to the re-
tired list, although he may be asked
to continue on active duty and under
take some special work. In this event
Major General Tasker II. Bliss. assist

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

CHICAGO, December S.-Explicit an.
nouncements of a ruling by the food
administration that no railway Ship
ments of grain to or through the EN-
bargoed zone east of Chicago would be
permitted. had bearish effect today on
prices. Corn closed unsettled, January,
1.20A. and May. 1.1Sh to u. with the
market as whole ranging from lie
decline to u advance, compared with
yesterdays finish. Oats lost / to tx
net, and provisions. IL to 81.
Until the last hour of trading. the
corn market reflected considerable un-
certainty as to the significance of diff
ferent government orders affecting
transportation. At first the tendency
of prices was downgrade owing to in
ferences that the ban on rails ship
ment of corn and oats eastward from
Chicago would result in the massing
of stocks here and at other leading
western terminals. Later, such an as
sumption seemed temporarily to be
open 70 question on account of in
structiors that all railroads in the
United States were to give food and
feed priority over military supplies.
Toward the end of the day. however.
any doubts of the complete enforce
ment of the embargo disappeared. and
prices accordingly fell
Oats duplicated the action of corn.
Provisions averaged lower with grain.
Besides. shipments of lard and meats
were smaller than year ago.

COTTON MARKET.

NEW YORK, December S.-While the
census figures on ginning to December
were almost exactly in line with eN-
pectations. they proved the signal for
active covering and were followed up
by sharp advance in prices. January
contracts sold up from 21-9S to 2s.5S.
closing at 2s.52. with the general list
closing firm at net advance OF IL TO
81 points.
There was some selling of December
and January by spot interests at the
start, and opening prices showed de-
cline of to rs points. Trade interests
were buyers of later months. however.
and the market soon rallied on active
buying by brokers with Wall street and
western connections.
This was supposed to reflect covering
of contracts sold earlier in the week in
anticipation of a break before the is
suance of the governments crop eti-
mate on Tuesday. The census figures,
showing 9,704,6I7 bales ginned to De-
cember 1. did not seem to create any
fresh sentiment as to the probable size
of the crop, but the tendency to cover
short contracts was probably increased
by bullish week end reviews OF the
goods trade.
NEW ORLEANS. December S.-Al-
though temporarily depressed by the
full ginning returns to December ], the
local cotton market soon frmed up to-
day on a demand which floor comment
said was for trade account and the close
showed net gains of 16 to % points.
II was fairly brisk session, for a
week end. The storm crossing the 0lt
was a steadying influence because OF
the fear felt that il might delay the
finishing of picking and also blow cot
ton out Of open bolls.
