ENGLAND WILL NOT
DEMAND HELGOLAND
Churchill Makes Announcement OF
Position OF Britain-Rallways
TO he Nntionallzcd.

LONDON. Wednesday, Dec. A.
The British naval authorities have
decided that It will be unnecessary
to demand the return OF Helgoland
to Great Britain from Germany,
Winston Spencer Churchill. the min
lister OF munitions, announced In a
speech at Dundee tonight.
Mr., Churchill also said the govern
ment had decided the nationaliza-
tion OF the railways.
I'VE enter the peace conference. ."
said Mr.. Churchill during the course
OF his address, with the absolute
determination that no Limitation
shall be imposed on our rights "a
maintain our naval defense. We do
not intend, no matter what argu-
ments and appeals are addressed "a
us, to lend ourselves intany way 10
any lettering restrictions which will
prevent the British navy maintain
ing its we'll tried and well deserved
supremacy"
The island OF Helgoland, formerly
Danish, was ceded to Great Britain
IN 1914. In 1890 Great Britain ceded
1t to Germany, who began develop
ing IL into an extremely important
naval base. 1t lies in the North sea
off tho mouths OF Elbe and Wcser
and OF the entrance to the Kiel canal
which 1t dominates
The island was "A German naval
stronghold throughout the great
war Its occupation by the allies
was under consideration shortly
after the signing OF the armistice
when the German naval revolution
made 1t appear doubtful II Germany
would comply with tho naval terms
OF the armistice. These, however.
seem since to have been fulfilled
nearly in their entirety.

WIDESPREAD. RAINS
 STRENGTHENED CORN
Oats Were Also Bolstered Up, While Provisions
 Went for a Gain

Chicago, December 20.-Notabis strength in the corn market resulted today largely from widespread rains which threatened further serious hind- rance to the crop movement. Prices, although unsettled at the finish. were 1Ac to 5Ac net higher, with anuary s1.3sH to $1.se%, and May, s1.36h to s1.3sA.
 Oats closed 14c to 1sc up, and pro- visions at an advance of 40c to soc.
 Upward swings began in the corn market right at the opening and there was no important reaction until just before the close. Profit taking by longs appeared to be wholly responsi- ble for the late setback. Throughout the rest of the day attention focused on the fact that country roads were becoming impossible and that receipts therefore, promised to remain small. Other bulsh factors were the removal of milling restrictions, Hoover's plan to use German ships to carry food to Europe and the refusal of licenses to import corn from Argentina to the United States.
 Oats sympathized with the strength of corn,
 Provisions were lifted chiefly by the bulge in grain.

STOCKS TAKE FIFTH . SETBACK THIS WEEK
Dissatisfaction is Appearing Among the Rail Lines and
 the Various Industries

New York. December 2o.-Stocks re- corded their fifth successive setback of the week today, declines being resumed after an irregular opening in which a few leaders showed temporary strength, probably on short covering.
 The additional liquidation and bearish aggression were attributed to increasing signs of dissatisfaction more particularly as affecting the railroads and general in- dustries. This was exemplified by MT. McAdoo's attitude toward the transporta- tions and reports of fresh cancellations of war contracts and cuts In commodity prices.
 Yet another reason was provided by the implied request of the treasury de- partment for an indefinite continuance of restricted money conditions, although call funds were in freer supply tt as low as sA per cent.
 Renewal of heavy selling of Liberty Bonds on a scale approximating yester- days enormous turnover with the fourth 4As at the new low quotation of 94.5o was not calculated to allay apprehension. the first 4s incidentally making new minimum for the year at 92.S0
 The one encouraging note was was SOunueu Dy the Sdie to d pdHAili6 cyii- dicate of $5o,000,0o0 Pennsylvania railroad 5 per cent bonds and the speedy ab- sorption of that issue at large over subscription.
 This is the first large financial under taking by private bankers since the close of the war and bespeaks sound in- vestment situation.
 Rails, shippings, utilities and coppers were the chief clements of heaviness, though rallying quite substantially to- wards the close. Oils, tobaccos and a few specialties were relatively firm. Con vertible railroad bonds and fractions eased 1 to ? points, but internationais were steady and more active Total sales, par value, aggregated s2o, 10000.
 Old United States bonds were un- changed on call.
 Final prices on Liberty Bonds were; s1ss, ss.20; first convertible As. 92.s0; sec ond As, 93.10: first convertible 44s. 97.00; second convertible AS. s4.52; third I14s, 95.54; fourth 4As, s4H.

Weekly Cotton Review

New York, December 20.-In some in stances buyers of December and January have teen sellers Of the latter dellver- ies, particularly in the case of houses with Liverpool connections who are be- lieved to have been transferring the short end of straddles.
 There has also been buying here to take in hedges or transfer them to Liver pool against cotton exported. and do- mestic trade interests have been buying to cover call cotton for spinners.
 These features have promoted rather a broader commission house interest. ac- cording to local brokers and the market showed increasing activity toward the end of the week.
 The circulation of December notices estimated at about 5000 bales caused some irregularity during the middle of the week, but trade intersts were buyers of the near months and the revision as strengthening the value of local con tracts as compared with middling.
 The active demand and high prices realized at the government wool sales attracted considerable attention and probably encouraged 8 rather more con fident tone with reference to goods trade conditions.
 The settlement of the Lancashire strike was another factor mentioned in connec- tion with the advance. but most brokers have attributed the firmer tone to the improving export situation and bullish spot advices. particularly in connection with the higher grades.

 New York. December 2O.-Early reac. ness in the cotton market today and prices made new high ground for the movement in the late trading. January contracts sold up from 27.77c to 2s. 45c, while December contracts touched the much talked of 3o-cent level. The close was firm at 2s.44c for January and at net advance of 2 to 65.
 The census report showing 10,252, ,402 bales of cotton ginned prior to December 13. compared with 10,1Sl.5 .594 bales last year was slightly over expectations and may have promoted realizing during the early trading. The opening was irregular at an advance of S7 points to a decline of point December held above last nights closing figures, but later months eased off after the call with March reacting to 26.3sc and with the more active de- liveries selling some IS to 20 points net lower Trade buying was rather active on this setback, however. and the mar ket soon firmed up on covering by early sellers which seemed to be stimulated by the more favorable view of the goods situation, continued bullish spot advices and reports that southern shippers were finding it difficult to secure the grades of spot cotton wanted to fill their con tracts in the south.
 Prices reached the highest levels of the day in the late trading with March sell ing at 2724c and closing at 27 1Sc. plus correction of GOO bales was reported in the seasons exports, which probably served to emphasize the talk of an in- creasing outward movement and reports were received from Galveston that 2U steamers were expected there for cotton during the next two weeks.
