CHICAGO GRAIN.

Chicago, Dec. 20.-Notable strength in the corn market resulted today largely from widespread rains which threatened further serious hindrance to the crop movement Prices, although unsettled at the finish were 1 1-4 to 5 1-4c net higher with January 139 Is to 139 3-S and May l36 IA to 136 1-S. Oats closed quarter cent to half cent up and provisions at an advance of 40 cents to so cents.
 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 re- sponsible for the late setbacks.
 Other bullish factors were the re- moval of milling restrictions, Hoover's plan to use German ships to carry food to Europe and the refusal of lic- enses to import corn from Argentine to the United States.
 Oats sympathized with the strength of corn.
 Provisions were lifted by the bulge in grain.

 The census report showing 1O,252.- 402 bales of cotton ginned prior to De cember 18th, compared with 10,131 ,594 bales last year was slightly over ex- pectations and May have promoted realizing during the early trading.
 Trade buying was rather active on the early setback and the market soon firmed up on covering by early sellers which seemed to be stimulated by the more favorable view of the goods sit uation, continued bullish spot advices and reports that southern shippers were finding it difficult to get the grades of spot cotton wanted to fill their contracts in the south.
 A plus correction of 72,0C0 bales was reported in the seasons exports, which probably served to emphasize the talk of an increasing outward movement and reports were received from Galveston that twenty steamers were expected there for cotton during the next two weeks.

M A R K EFT Reports of Cotton, Grain and
 Provisions
WEEKLY COTTON MARKET.

New York, Dec. 20,-The increas- ing exports and reports of an i'm proving trade demand have given the cotton market a generally firm tone during the past week and prices have made new high ground for the move ment. This advance has been accom- panied by very bullish spot advices from the south and near months have been relatively firm on covering by trade or speculate shorts.
 In some instances, buyers Of Decem- Der and January have been sellers of the later deliveries, particularly in the case of houses with Liverpool connections, who are believed to have been transferring the short end of straddles. There has also been buy ing here to take in hedges or trans fer them to Liverpool against cotton exported and domestic trade interests have been buying to cover call cotton for spinners These features have pro- house interest, according to local brokers and the market showed in- creasing 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.
 The active demand and high prices realized at the government wool sales attracted considerable attention and probably encouraged a rather more confident tone with reference to goods trade conditions. The settlement of the Lancashire strike was another factor. The census report showing 10,252, ,402 bales ginned to December 13th was considered about in line with the off cial crop estimatee of December 11th.
