Siam Adopts New EIaa.

Slams white elephant flag is to be
abandoned for the red, white and blue
colors of democracy. Commenting or
this, the Christian Science Monitor
says:
"In spite of the fine feeling of Eff
thusiasm for the allied cause which
it shows, one can not but be sorry
that Siam should have decided to dis
card her own splendidly original flag
showing a white elephant on a red
field, for tricolor resembling that OF
the great entente powers of the West
Siam sees In the red, white and blue
flag the cOlors which throughout the
world stand 'as a rallying sign against
barbarism.' 1t is quite interesting tC
find that red, white and blue do as q
matter of fact figure in the national
flags of Britain, France the United
States, Russia, Serbia, Cuba, Panama
Costa Rica, Paraguay and Liberia
And now Siam must be added, If II
is really quite tFIe that the white ele'
phant is doomed"

CHICAGO GRAIN

Chicago, Nov. 29.-Broad humanlta' rianism, reported as the probable ba' sis of food shortage relief i'll Europe had much to do today with stlmulat- ing bullish sentiment in the corn market. Prices closed strong, SC tc 3 s,-S cents net higher, with Dacem' Der 1.27 7-S to l.2S and January l.2S 5-S to 1.2S 3-4. Oats gained ] l-2 to 3 1-2 G. In provisions, the out come ranged from 5c decline to $l advance.
 Although announcement that one of the biggest distilleries Ill the country would close down tonlght lee to much selling at times in the corn market, the general movement ot prl- ces was clearly upgrade. Scanf'ness of offerings, together with other tokens that farmers were refusing so sell freely at curreny values put the bears at a disadvantage, and the trade was in a ready mood to place full stress on Paris adyices that the food situation in Europe Wonld oe alleyiated in every way possNle'

NEW ORLEANS COTTON

New Orleans. Nov. 29--Asde from monetary advance of 3 to 13 points around the opening, it Was session of weakness ill the cotton market to- day. The market closed weak at a decline Of 11o to 122 points.
 Much liquidation resulted from the poor showing made by mill takin.s of American cotton this week, which according to Hester. were only 329.- 00O bales, against 42oO0o this week last year, and 42S000 this week two years ago.
 The small advance on the opening was partly due to unfavorable wea ther accounts from the belt. where too much rain has fallen recently, and to claims of better spot demand in some sections, Locally, the spot department showed no activity ana prices were reduced 70 points.
 The close Was weak. at decline of 115 to 122 points.

MARK T Reports of Cotton, Grain and
 Provisions
NEW CORK COTTON.

New York, Nov. 29.-The cotton market has been comparatively quiet during the past week with fluctua- tions nervous and irregular The talk around the ring here has suggested that the attention of the trade was divided between the unsettled condi- tions of the goods tared and the re- ported confidence of southern spot holders. No material pressure of hedge selling or other indications of pressure from actual cotton has been reported. On the other hand, trade buying has been limited and local brokers claim to have seen no evil dence of pressing demand for spot supplies.
 Generally speaking all the news from the south has been given bull- ish interruption. The weather has been unfavorable with frosts or killing temperatures reported in northern parts of the belt and in the southwest, while there have been cold rains which seemed calculated to delay picking or ginning and lower the grade or cause losses to open cotton. There have also been further reports suggesting an improvement in exports.
 The governments final estimate of the yield will be published December l1th. One private estimate placed the yield at 11,320,00 and another at H. 100000 bales, excluding linters. One of the large Fall-River Manufacturing concerns shut down six thousand looms before Thanksgiving.
 The demand for increased wages in New England appears to have been settled for the time being. Further reductions have been reported in ma- rlne insurance rates and in some cases policies are said to now be available on pre-war basis.
 The cotton market showed steadi- ness at the opening today owing to firmness in Liverpool over the holiday and continued bullish upon reports from southern spot markets. The lat ter emphasized the attitude of hold CTS rather than the state of demand, however the prices turned easier right after the call under renewal of scat tering liquidation, Liverpool and Jap anese selling. For a tine prices sold off rapidly in the absence of any inn portant support and after opening steady at an advance of four to 37 points, the market sold b to p points net lower before the end of the first half hour January broke from 27.65 to PHO and March from 26.62 to 26.oo, or agout 30 to 50 points from the early high point.
 The early decline was checked by a little covering. and trade buying around 27.05 for January and 26.30 for March, or about 20 to 25 points under Wednesdays closing figures Rallies of some Is to 20 points follow ed on covering but were barely main tained with the market very quiet during the middle of the day, when prices were some 19 tof23 points ne: lower.

ca 10 exhaust immediate buying DOW CT III the cotton market today and prlces broke sharply in the late trad ing. The general list closed barely steady at a net decline of 70 to 130 points.
 The market opened steady at an advance i'll response to relatively firm Liverpool cables. There appeared to nave been very little accumulation of southern selling orders over the holi- day and the market showed fairly steady tone during the early trading on reports of an improved export de mana, easier marine insurance rates and prediction of increased offerings of tonnage. These features failed to bring In any material volume of fresh buying, however, and the market be- came very unsettled in the late trading There was some selling here by broE- CTS with both Liverpool and Japanese connections presumably in liquidation of old long lines or hedges. and late ill the day there Was also selling for New Orleans account.
 General business Was very qu1et Spot advices received during the day were generally bullish The chief bearish feature mentioned was the un- settled ruling of the goods trade.
