INCREASE IN HOG PRODUCTION HAS BULL|SH EFFECT
Corn Advanced 1 5-Sc to 21-4c, While Oats Went Off-PrOvisions Went
 up With Hogs

Chicago, December 3.-Reports that en- larged production of corn had been more tban counterbalanced by 10 per cent increase of the number of hogs in the country, had a decidedly bullish effect today on the corn market. Prices closed unsettled 15s to 2A net higher with De- cember s130A and January s1.90ss to s1.3O1z. g. Oats lost 14 to A and provisions gained 10 to 80 cents.
 Inferenees that owing to the great ex. 'pansion of the hog raising industry as compared with year ago there would be no unusual surplus of feeding grain. operated as the chief factor in the corn trade, as soon as definite figures on the subject became available. The gain in the total of hogs on farms was put at 7,S51,0C0 chiefly in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Iowa. On the ensuing bulge in the corn market, much selling to realize profits took place and material setback from the high point of the day followed.
 Oats were relatively easier than corn.
 Higher quotations on hogs and corn gave strength to provisions

 Late in the day the National Ginners' association was reported out with fig ures of 9,600,000 bales as the total ginned thus far this season up to the first of December. If this is confirmed by the census bureau the report next Monday will be very bullish for it means that the total is, for the first time this sea- son, under that of year ago. Last year on the first of December the ginning amounted to 9.716,09S bales and two years ago to l0,352,0S1 The National Ginners forecast means an output for the period just ended of only 919,00o bales, against 1,1449S3 last year and 131G2s two years ago.

Over McReynolds & Julian's Wire

New Orleans, December 3.-Develop- ments overnight were of such importance as to create a better feeling generally resulting in steadier and somewhat higher market. Cables were decidedly better than due Washington's efforts to improve the export situation was en- couraging, as was the resistance on the part of the interior by offering sparingly Of spots It is only to repeat the oft made assertion in saving that all Europe and other sections of the world outside of the United States are badly in need Of raw cotton and cotton goods.
 In order to help to move more rapidly cotton overseas restrictions on the ship ment of cotton from interior points for export are to be removed by an order to be issued today by the railroad admin istration. Removal of the restrictions will permit direct shipment from Interior
 and neutral countries, except the neutrals
 Heretofore bills of ladng for shipments
 were limited to the seaboard This change in the shipping situation is encouraging l to exporters, as it is said that it will
 ia acilitate shipping and financial features
 and result in a more rapid handling of export business.
 Washington calls attention to the fact | that last spring a considerable quantity
 I of very poor cotton was rendered for
 l delivery on contracts and many rejec-
 l tions resulted to the dissatisfaction and
 1 loss of the tehderers and lays stress on
 | the great importance that parties who

Over Stewart & Co.'S Wire

New Orleans, December 3.-Liverpool was surprisingly strong, showing futures 50 to 60 higher than due. Final spot quotations from the interior yesterday showed no weakness and the same con- fident opposition in actual cotton to bear ish interpretations of the situation.
 Our market opened 20 to 50 higher. on the strong Liverpool, bullish shipping news, encouraging spot resistance and excessive discounts on futures, but sup port has been so intimidated by recent reverses that small selling wiped out the gain. However, there was betetr tone and the market came back after a while to opening figures.
 A message to the cotton exchange from Mir. Brand again strongly emphasizes the characteristics of bellies, particularly the defects in staple, and their consequent liability of immediate rejection as tend- CTS. Opinion here is that bellies are an innovation of late years entirely ex- traneous to the contract sanction under the Smith-Lever law and the contract basis remains as before, which was that only regular growth and cotton is deliv- erable
 There were some encouraging advices from recent bear sources, one saying Generally larger demand and market looks better"
 Of course 1t is plain to every one that the technical advantage is still on the side of the bear operator, as substantial and sustained support will only come with progress in the opening of the ex- port outlet and spot demand. The ulti- mate outlook, of course, is decidedly bullish as the world is without cotton re- serves and the large increasing needs fall entirely on our present supply now held in the south.-John, F. Clark & Co.

New Orleans December 3.--A rise of over a cent pound was scored in cot ton today, the market making ready re- sponse to the several bullish features of the session. The opening was higher and prices remained at a net advance throughout the day, although there were periods when liquidation pared the gain down to only a few points
 The net change for the session was a rise of 102 to 11s points.
 In the searly trading prices gained 31 Go 50 points, but this rise was met by sufficient selling to reduce it to only Ii to 15 points,

COTTON WAS PRIMER
 WITH BIG ADVANCE ALL THROUGH LIS l.
General List Closed Strong at Net Advance of 66 to 100 Points Over
 Saturday

New York, December 3.-The cotton
 market showed decidedly firmer tone today and there was sharp advance in
 prices. January contracts sold up to | 25.70c, making an advance of 95 points from yesterdays closing. The general list closing steady att net advance of
 66 to 100 points.
 The presence of overnight selling or ders prevented a full response to rela- lively firm cables at the opening and caused some irregularity. These offer ings were readily absorbed at slight re- actions from the initial advance of 9 to 36 points, however, and the market sold about 40 to 63 points net higher during the middle of the morning on trade buy ing and a scattering demand through commission houses. There was enough realizing to cause reactions of 30 to 35 points during the middle of the day, but contracts seemed to be comparatively scarce after the heavy liquidation of the past several days and the market frmed | up again in the late trading on con- tinued trade, southern and local buying December sold up to 26.7lc, and March 1 to 24.S0c, late in the afternoon, or about 1 72 to 95 points net higher on the more active months. Reports of an easier tone ! in the ocean freight market for February sailing probably contributed to the ad- vance while the absence of southern hedge selling and bullish spot advices also added to the confidence of scattered buy lers for a reaction.
 | Brokers with Japanese connections were
 moderate sellers again during the early I trading, but the offerings from that source were smaller than recently and | local brokers said the market acted as | if 1t had been pretty well liquidated of long accounts. An early report by an | Alabama spot firm estimated the crop at 11.565,000 bales. and later in the day l a southern authority estimated the yield 1 Der l, at 9,600,000

STOCK MOVEMENT
 WAS MUCH BROADER AMONG TRADERS
Steels Were Firm to Strong, While Rails Failed to Ex-
 tend Their Advances

|s New York, December 3.-Trading in
 stocks today was moderately active and
 broad, the movement tending upward
 until the final hour, when prices re- acted r to 3 points among rails, oils and specialties. The one striking exception to the gen. eral strength of the forenoon and mid session was furnished by Marine pre- ferred, which was under constant pres
 sure at an extreme reversal of 51z points, only part of which was regional. Investment rails failed to extend their
 advance of yesterday, displaying oc- casional restraint, probably because or the conflicting opinions prevalent re- garding the governments attitude to- wards 4modified private ownership. Steels and the entire metal division were firm to strong, their improvement being explained later by the action of the war industries board, which hxed prices for pig tin. thereby offering nope
 of further stabilization of affiliated com
 modities.
 Automobile shares and subsidiaries
 were stimulated by trade reports whose
 tenor suggested relief at the removal of
 restrictions effective during the war and
 feathers, papers and distilling issues
 moved to higher levels presumably for
 like reasons.

From the Christian Herald
 The phrase "Cleanliness is next to god1iness" is found in-John Wesley 8 sermon XCII on Dress. The language of the aphorism however is taken from the Beraitha, translation of the Mishna by Rafael M De Cola.
