Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York. December 5.-(Special) A firm market, due to arbitrage buy ing in liquidation of the straddle be- tween New York and Liverpool, where the January position is being gradually closed and to local buying on the be- lief that prices will advance before the bureau report The hedge selling from the south was not in quantity large enough to supply these demands, so that prices advanced continuously from the opening. Local sentiment has been in favor of the market in eXpecta- tion of the settlement of the Decembe call cotton and the prospect of small crop estimate next week by the gov ernment. There was also buying by Wall street houses in acting on these ideas. so that the long interest has been increased and scattered throug h the distribution of the concentrated long interest which has been in prog ress during the past two weeks.-Hub- bard Bros. & Co.

 SHOWED PRIMER TRADING TONE
General List Closed Strong at a Net Advance of 40 to S3 Points Over Close
 of Wednesday

New York, December 5.-The cotton market showed a firmer tone during today's trading with a sharp advance in prices. January contracts sold up to 26.7Sc in the late trading, making an advance of SS points from the close of yesterday and of 225 points from the low level of last Monday. The general list closed strong at net advance of
 40 to S3 points on all months except September, which was 10 points higher. The market opened steady at un- changed prices to an advance of IS points. and there was some hesitation right after the call on the late southern selling and some further scattering liquidation brought in by the reaction of late yesterday. On the whole, how ever, offerings were soon absorbed, and the market turned firmer on some- what more encouraging reports from the goods trade and talk of small crop figures from the government next week. Part of the buying was attrib-
 uted to covering contracts sold for January, March and May delivery by Wall street and western interests be- fore the signing of the arnstice After this demand had been supplied the market sagged few points. but firmed up again in the late trading on trade buying and a scattering demand from commission house sources, followed by reports that the British freight room allotment for January would be for goo 900 bales or about poo bales in excess of the revised allotment for
 December December contracts sold at c7S5 and March at 25.65. There were reiterated reports that Belgian and French buyers were In the domestic markets for cotton goods and rumors
 were circulated that some of the sur
 plus supply or army goods might be sold to EuropeaN governments.
 Reports that the war industries
 board would be dissolved on January
 1, attracted considerable comment and
 In some quarters expectations were ex-
 pressed that this would remove the
 restrictions on short selling.

OFFERS
 :. OF CORN CAUSED !. STAPLE ID WEAKEN
Oats Werein Full Sympathy While the Provision List
 Closed Unchanged to 50 Cents Down

Chicago. December 5.-Corn weak ened in price today after the fact be- came clear that northern Illinois offer ings in particular had considerably en- larged. The market closed nervous, %c net lower to ilc advance, with both January and February at s1s1% @1.32. Oats lost r to %c, and pro- visions unchanged to soc down
 Unsettled feeling and many fluctua- tions within a narrow range character ized the corn market until numerous rural holders began to show more of a disposition to sell. Previous to this de- yelopment the spread of influenza through farming communities was taken in some quarters to indicate re- striction of labor. Late in the session, however besides the increase of offer ings, evidence was at hand that feed ing demand in some sections was not so keen as recently. Profit taking on lulges served, likewise, to check bull ish sentiment.
 A little export inquiry was noted In the main oats followed corn.
 Provisions sagged with grain and hogs.

New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, December 5--A steady undertone was assumed by cotton today and the market made ready response to buying, opening at the advance and gradually doing better until toward the end it was 65. to 113 points up. Last prices were 63 to 105 up. The demand was based on reports of a larger de- mand for spots at higher prices, the belief that all restrictions of the mar ket would shortly be removed and the great increase in the export movement.
 The announcement from Washington that the war industries board would be abolished at the end of the year was favorably received and was a factor working for higher prices despite the belief that the ban on short selling would be removed as soon as the board went out of existence Interior points reported much better inquiry for spots and it was stated that Texas firms were buying cotton in this market and ship ping 1t to Galveston for export which was taken to mean that they could not buy cotton at the markets in their own territory.
 Total exports for the day from all United States ports were 42.0T bales. against 5127 this day last year. This brought the total foreign movement thus far this week up to 131 ,239 bales against 53,742 during the same period last year.

LEADING ISSUES
 DECLINE UNDER
 LIGHT PRESSURE Old Rule on Stock Margins Allowing 20 Per Cent Fails to Stimulate Any
 Great Interest

New York, December 5.-Stocks drifted idly during the greater part or todays extremely professional session, prices of many leading issues evincing a further disposition to decline under moderate pressure.
 Reverson to the old rule on stock margins. permitting brokers to loan up to so per cent on collateral. failed 10 stimulate outside interest in the slight est degree, nor did this modification tend to relax rates for money.

 Interest in the general industrial situation was heightened by the pupll- cation of reviews and surveys which made pesstmistic reference to the fu- ture of the steel and iron trade, with predictions of a general cut III pre- vailing price schedules.
 United States steel was the objective of incessant pressure, although yield ing only half point at the close. Oth- CT industrials and equipments also made material recoveries in the final hour and gas shares featured the util- ities at gains of to points, although local fractions were inclined to yield.
 Rails and shippings were among the uncertain features, the former showing irregularity throughout, while marines eased in the later dealings with met als and obscure specialties.
 The only alteration reported in for- eign exchange was slight reduction in sterling demand bills, rates to neu- tral centers showing more firmness.

Iron and Steel Review

Cleveland, December 6-(Special. )-The Iron Trade Review today says:
 Release of the iron and steel industry from federal price regulations IS con- Ifidently expected to come on January l. Removal of such control. which has now been in effect 14 months. is defi- 'nitely understood to rest in the hands of the industry itself. During the past few days the conviction has crystallized that the transformation of the industry from an abnormal war to normal peace time basis can be best affected by return to open market conditions
 The united sentiment of the Indus Itry will be tested at meeting on Monday, December g. at New York, called by the steel committee af the American Steel and Iron institute Members of this committee have held several meetings in an effort to form ulate a definite recommendation rela- tive to the policy which the industry should favor and report to the war in- dustries board. This board. which has been in charge of the governments interest in it's price regulation pro- gramme may go out of effective exist ence on December 31, simultaneously with the ending of the present prics agreement under which the iron and steel industry is operating.
 Fears of what the period of trans- formation would bring to the iron and steel industry are being gradually dtsst- pated by market developments.
 The flood of cancellations which many producers had expected has not developed, although consumers genaral- fly are filing in greater number requests for annulment of contracts. The adoption of definite policy in handling such requests is being given serious consideration by producers. the only evidence of united opinion so far being the strongly expressed determination
 of most sellers to hold buyers to their contracts. The multiphase character of the cancellations. however. makes this problem from the producers view point an exceedingly complicated one.

Over Campbell &Co.'s Wire

New Orleans, December 5.-Fresh ad- vances were made by cotton today on better reports from the spot department, the belief that all restrictions on the market would soon be removed and the great increase In the export movement. It was quiet market and bullish traders were not aggressive, moderate buying served to put prices up. Opening at the advance the improvement was widened until the trading months, toward the middle of the day, were 50 to 70 points up.
 We hear of more activity in the spot market generally, with holders still stub born and basis rising. It was claimed here today that large transactions were being put through in the interior at fancy prices. Possibly the most surpris- ing development in spots is the fact that Texas bcyers are operating in this mar ket and also in north Louisiana. Cot ton is now being shipped by rail from here to Galveston to be cleared from that port, simply because shippers in Gall weston are unable to buy cotton at home. Yet, within the week we have seen Dal- las quotations reduced 230 points in a single session.
 The announcement that the war indus tries board would be abolished on Jan uary 1 was accepted favorably in this market. It is presumed that this will automatically remove the ban in short selling, if 1t is not lifted before that date. It is reported that restrictions gen. erally are about to be removed and if this Is the case we think the market will find itself freer to respond to bull- ish influences. Total exports thus far this week amount to 13l, ,2Ss bales against 53,742 during the same time last year. With shipments increasing in this fash ion we have renewed faith in the long side of market.
 Late in the day the advance was wid- ened 65 to 113 points. The close was 63 to 1O5 points up
