New Orleans. December S0-Follow- ing an advance of about 1sc a pound in the early trading today, cotton fell sharply, reacting 120 to 155 points from the topmost levels, on the bearish con- struction placed on Premier Clemen- ceau's statement regarding his adher- ence to the old balance of power sys- tenn. Prior to the noon hour the mar ket had a steady undertone and was only inclined to react in a mild way, which tendency the bulls were regu1at- ing.

COTTON ADVANCE
 MET HEDGE SELLING
Close Barely Steady at a Net Decline of 65 to 105 Points Under
 Saturday

New York, December 3O-An early ad- vance in the cotton market today met increased realizing and considerable hedge selling under which prices broke sharply with the close barely steady at net decline of 65 to 1O5 points. Jan uary contracts sold up to so.5 Soc during the early trading and broke to 9.30c compared with 2995c at the close of Saturday and 2S.9Sc the low point of Saturday morn ing.
 There was a renewal of Saturdays s buying with bullish sentiment encour- aged by the firm cables, and reports of better tone in the goods market. The opening was firm at an advance of 10 to 30 points and active months sold 45 to 50 points net higher during the early trading with March touching 29c and May 2S.10c. There was rebuying by some of the recent sellers and a moderate demand from trade sources on the advance, the latter being accompanied by reports that some yarn contracts that hal been can celed were being reinstated The advance met considerable realizing which was fairly well absorbed on reactions of 30 to 35 points during the middle of the day. But later the selling became more activeand general.
 New Orleans was one of the more active sellers here which led to talk of increased spot offerings from the in- terior and the break excluded to N.S5c for March and 26S5c for May. Closing prices were at the lowest point of the day. Part of the selling was attributed to realizing for New Years Day and not withstanding the talk of freer offerings of low grades the declines was most gem orally attributed to an easeir technical position and liquidation of long accounts

our views. especially if, with the begin ming Of the new year the hopes of the release of more ships for cotton export will be realized. The south still seems inclined to hold for higher prices and from the present outlook it looks as though they will be correct in their views. Forwardings from Liverpool to mills was 2s000 against 31 GOO last year This points to mill takings for the week somewhat smaller than expected, but with cotton now arriving abroad chances are comparisons should be bullish from now on. The dominant factor in the story of general conditions at present is the calm and collected manner in which the business world views the uncertain fu- ture which is ahead, says report on general business conditions made bp the United States Chamber of Commerce on statistics and standards published today. The market after ruling very steady all forenoon, eased off during the afternoon on general liquidation over the hoi- days.-H. eaS R. Beer

STOCKS AND BONDS iGO 10 THE BOTTOM
Enewed Liquidation on Wall Street Sends Many Issues to Lowest of
 the Year

New York, December 30.-Renewed aquidation of stocks and bonds the lat ter in unprecedented volume, character zed the feverishly active trading on the @stock exchange today, several important ssues. including rails, recording lowest quotations of the year.
 The movement was the most compre- hensive of any session of the month anc again lacked definite or plausible ex- planation other than the widespread be- lief that corporations and individual hold ITS of securities are closing out accounts to adjust income tax returns, for the year.
 In all probability much of the selling of rails was impelled by the many au- verse statements for November submitted Iby the l. c. c. such systems as Penn #syivania, Reading, Baltimore and ono Canadian Pacific, Chicago and North western; St. Paul, Rock Island and New Haven reporting net losses ranging from t700.000 to almost s2,00o,oOo
 Recessions among standard rails ran from one to two points, but among is- Jues of lesser importance losses were more extensive. Industrials and equip nents, coppers, motors and oils yielded 1 to points and utilities l to 6.
 The few conspicuous exceptions to the downward trend were shippings, marine preferred rallying sharply after it's early setback, Southern Pacific and United States Steel, the latter losing only the smallest fraction on the moderate rally at the close.
 Losses among some of the more specu- htive bond issues including Pennsylvania consolidated 5s, St. Paul convertible 412s, Seaboard Air Line adjustment 5s and Interborough Rapid Transit 5s extended from to per cent. But the heaviness bf Liberty issues, especially the fourth l4s at the new minimum of e4, was the 'overshadowing feature.
 Sales of bonds were estimated at s45,- 700 GOO, par value, which exceeds the pre- vous record by about S10,000,000 The Liberty group contributed approximate sly 80 per cent to this total.
 Old United States bonds were un- changed on call.
 Final prices on Liberty Bonds today were: 31as, 99.40; first convertible As, ,b2s4 second As. s2so; first convertible tAs, e6.36; second convertible 4As, 94.a0; third 414s. s5.so; fourth 4As. s4.1e,

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, Dec. S0 ri tSpecial) Profit taking on an extensive scale was in progress during the morning apparently coming from tHose ldenti- fled with the recent advance. This realizing finally proved more than the market could absorb so that the out side buyers of the past two days began to liquidate themselves. Although the early sellers bought from time to time they could not check the down ward movement and the close was at the lowest prices. It is thought that the market will recover tomorrow in anticipation of a better demand for ex- port after the new year. Foreign ad- vices are not sanguine on this point. however as they point out the dlfft- sculty of importing if they have not market in which they can hedge on better basis than the present discounts allow. It. was thought that July was sold today against anticipated pur- chases of the lower grades at the ex- treme differences ruling at the mo- ment.

NEW HIGH PRICES REACHED IN CORN More Stormy Weather Pros poets Responsible for
 the Grain Pit
 Advance

|s Chicago, December 30.-Corn ascended today to new high price levels-for the season. owing chiefly to prospects that stormy weather would further restrict the arrival of supplies. The market closed unsettled at the same as Satur- days finish to 2M higher with January, s1. 4s7sQ1.H. and May, H.Ss1z@1. .Ssss. Oats gained shade to A@9s net and proVi- sions 12 to IT cents.
 Offerings of corn proved scanty on the way up, especially for nearby deliveries, but around the top figures of the day sellers became much more numerous and there was a good deal of realizing by longs who had profits in sight. Shorts who feared the effects of continued lack of freedom in the crop movement were the chief buyers. Farmers. ac- cording to advices from the interior, were willing to sell at present prices, but the impossible condition of country roads has largely put a stop to hauling. The de- ferred months failed to hold advances. although December and January kept rel atively firm.
 Oats showed independent strength.
 Liberal foreign orders helped to lift provtsions

President Wilson's speech is also very assuring and points to better politicai lookout abroad in general and the per- 1 feet union of purposes and understanding on most of the points of the peace con gress leads to the belief the peace con gross may meet about the middle Of January.
