New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, December 1s.-The ad- vance in cotton was continued today but there were periods when the market acted overbought and tendency to re- act was frequently in evidence. The main sustaining news again came from the spot department, buying being done chiefly on reports of more tonnage avail able for shippers, the large exports for the day, the cabled news that Lanca- shire strike had been settled, reports of a higher basis in the Texas spot mar kets and telegrams from the north claiming that there was more spot busi- ness under way with the New England mills. Encouraging the reaction from the advance was the private bureau forecast of total of 10,215.0o0 bales gnned to De- cember IS. indicating an output for the period just ended of 652,0o0 bales against
 41S,o00 last year and 4s7,ooo two years ago.
 Around the opening prices were 22 to 35 points up, from this the reaction car
 ried the active months 9, to 27 points under the close of yesterday. Late in the session the tone steadied again and last prices were at a net gain for the day lof to 15 points
 A feature which attracted much at tentisn was the posting of a notice or the. floor calling attention to an Ameri- can steamship loading here for Liver pool and having capacity of g, 900 bales of cotton. This was the. first instance .ol freight solicitation In several years, and. moreover, a slightly lower rate waa quoted on cotton than has been ruling. :

CROP MOVEMENT IS
 HURT BY WEATHER
Corn Closed 1 1-2c Up, While
 Oats Finished 3-Sc Off. Provisions Irregular

r Chicago. December 1s.-Corn averaged
 higher in price today, chiefly owing tc weather conditions unfavorable to the crop movement. The close was steady at the same as yesterdays finish to 11ac up, with Janu- ary s1.26ls to $i.S6A and May s1.Ss1h to s1. 45sS Oats finished unchanged to ssc of land provisions varying from 45c decline to 55c advance.
 Trade in corn was mainly local and prices fluctuated often. During most of the day bills had the advantage as a result of continued seanlness of receipts and because of the outlook that damp ness and mild temperatures would fur ther tend to restrict arrivals. The only pronounced weak spot in the market , was coincident with notice from the food administration that practically all war rules as to the handling of grain had-been cancelled.
 The bearish influence of the notice.
 however was quickly dispelled by the
 fact that the board of trade had not yet
 rescinded an order limiting strictly the amount of dealings allowed for any sin
 gle interest.
 Absence of export buying operated as a
 weight on the oats market Increased stock of lard rendered that commodity

The reactionary feeling was altogether natural, following recent advances. long liquidation coming in on all hard spots. while spot sales were encour- aged by the bearish predictions spread about concerning the census bureau report on ginning due Friday morning. Fresh buying was encouraged by the continued large export movement ana plain signs of an easier situation m the ocean freight market. Around the opening prices were 22 to s5 points up. from which there was a fall to a level of to 27 points under the close of yesterday A grad ual recovery ensued and in the after noon the market again moved up well toward the highest levels

 ton market today onstrade buying and covering
 The general Hist closed steady at
 a net advance of to 40 points Owing to the fact that previously
 this month only 100 bales had been de- livered on December contracts, the is- suance of notices this morning seemed a surprise to the general trade They were estimated at only 5000 bales, however. and while they caused some scattering near-month liquidation, trade interests were buyers on the de- cline The market opened steady at an advance of 5 to 25 points on bull
 ish overnight spot news and reports
 that the shipping board had assigned four ships to the cotton trade. Over night orders were quickly supplied, and the market sold off during the early trading with December showing
 net loss of 2S points and January of Is points during the middle of the
 morning, while later months sold 2
 to points net lower. with March
 touching 25,7sc.
 The market then turned firmer on re-
 ports~of an active spot demand in the
 southwest, covering by early sellers and rumors' that some of the people who had issued notices this morning were buying December contracts later
 in the day That delivery led the
 advance. selling 94 points above last nights closing figures, while later months showed net gains of 2S to 40 points, with March selling at 262oc.
 Later fluctuations were very irregu-
 lar. particularly in the case of De- cember. which showed a closing reac- tion of GA points under renewed liqui- dation.
