New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, December N.-Though re- strained by pronounced holiday feeling the cotton market today went to new high levels on buying which developed on all soft spots. The demand resulted from reports of the coming removal of restrictions in English cotton trade from the continued highly unfavorable weather conditions over the belt and bullish pre- dictions of heavy exports during the re- mainder of December.
 Much liquidation came from longs who wanted to realize their profits over the holidays, but it was well absorbed and reactions were only narrow and short lived. The net results for the day were gains of 36 to 4s points.
 On the first call realizing was rather general and under it prices fell to Is points on the most active months,
 From this there was a recovery and an advance to levels to IS points over yesterdays close Another reaction to about the lowest levels followed, but fresh buying again sprang up and an other recovery ensued. Thereafter the tone was steadier, reactions of the after noon being narrower than those of the early trading. At the highest levels prices were 43 to 6e points over yesterdays last quotations. Realizing sales in the last few minutes of business pared this gain down moderately

 WINTER BULLS CORN STEATlY AT ADVANCE|
Corn Finished 3-4c Higher, While Oats Lost 3-4 to
 11-4c-Provisions Up

Chicago, December 24.-Blizzard con- ditions which seemed likely to delay the crop movement had a buliish influ- ence today on corn.
 Prices closed firm at the same as yes terday's finish to 2c higher with Jan uary s1.s9ss to 1.3s% and May 1.s5% to 1.s51s. Oats lost $ e 4c to Ac. 1n provisions the outcome ranged from zoe decline to soc advance.
 Nearby deliveries of corn were the most affected by the stormy weather, as stocks on hand here and at the other principal centers have been re- duced to nearly the vanishing point. The fact that todays receipts in Chi cago amounted to only 35 cars put de- cided emphasis on the need of re- plenished supply Except from shorts however, buying was slack owing part ly to the holiday tomorrow and partly to chances that a cold wave would fa- cilitate wagon traffic from farms. From aggressive support weakened oats. Do- nestle shipping call was slow, but ex porters were said to have taken 300,- GOO bushels
 Provisions averaged higher with hogs.

MARRYING UNDER GREAT DIFFICULTY Russians Would Not Per- init Entente Representa- tives to Leave the
 Consulate

Copenhagen, November 20-Corre- |spondence of the Associated Press) Romance was intermingled with trag- edy in the trying days when the for eign colonies were attempting to get permission to leave Russia. Arrests, searches and threats of execution were relieved by marriages between men of the entente powers and Russian women.
 The bolshevik government would not grant Russian citizens permits to go abroad. Consequently foreign men who hoped to leave Russia shortly could not hope to see their sweethearts for an in definite period, possibly never, if they left them in starving, disrupted Russia, where food is denied to persons not regarded as ''class-co conscious workmen" and all persons not iflT sympathy with bolshevism are dispoSsessed.
 Many officials of the French and Britt ish colonies married in the last trying days of their stay in Moscow and Petro- grad, but the wedding of Capt w. L.. Hicks, military aide to Bruce Lockhart, the British diplomatic representative in Moscow, was accomplished in the face of greater obstacles perhaps than those of other entente citizens who man. aged to marry between jail sentences and searches.
 Captain Hicks was one of the French and English officials who were held as prisoners in the American consulate at Moscow. He was engaged to marry Madame Melinina, but dared not leave the American premises to marry her. Most of his official associates were in prisons charged with ontra-revolution- ary activity and in danger of execution. Russian priests refused to perform the ceremony in the American consulate as the othodox church requires. that mar riages be celebrated in a church.
 Maj. Allen Wardwell of the American Red Cross, who was looking after the interests of foreign. prisoners, inter ceded with boishevfk officials, but Peters, the head of the commission for the suppression of contra revolution, was firm in his refusal to grant Captain Hicks immunity if he left the Amerf- can property and walked into the Rus sian church, which stood in an adjoin- ing court. When the hour for the de- parture of the British officials from Moscow approached the situation be- came desperate.
 Finally one of the Lettish women, who was guarding Captain Hicks, be- came interested in his plight and tele- phoned to Peters addressing him in the Lettish tongue. Her appeal was heed ed. She assumed responsibility for the delivery of the English officer at the train which was to carry him out or Russia. A priest was hastily en- gased and the party stopped in an othodox church on the way to the sta tion where the ceremony was per formed just half an hour before the bride and groom started for England.

Today Is a Holiday, Both in America and the Euro
 pean Markets

New York. December Awhile pre- Christmas realizing was active enough to cause some irreg1larity in the cotton market today. it was geenrally well ao- sorbed. and after making new high ground for the movement prices closed steady at net advance of 20 to 50 points.
 January contracts sold up from 2s.o5c to % soc and closed at 2e.59c. compared with 29 l7e at the close last night
 The opening was irregular and rather unsettled, with December 5o points low CT, while the more active positions were g to 2s points lower with October points higher There were one or two December notices in circulation, but little scattering liquidation was quick ly absorbed and December later sold up to S2c, or 50 points net higher on GOV ering.
 This helped the tone of later deliv cries and the general list was firm late on covering by early sellers, further broadening of commission house demand trade buying. March sold up to 2S.75c and May 27.s5c, with active months gem orally showing net gains of 45 to a points. There was renewed realizing at this level and reactions of several points followed, but the market was steady in the late trading Liverpool was an ac- tive buyer during the earlier trading and there were buying orders for the new crop from New Orleans later.
 So far as indicated by the talk around the ring no fresh bull factor was con- nected with the advance and bullish sentiment was attributed chiefly to the f,,er inc axn senee of spot pressure.
 The Liverpool market will remain closed until next Monday and will close again on New Years Day and the day after, but the domestic markets will re- open on Thursday.

IRA B6 REACHED
 IIbtlHANT POINT Met l Iities and Rails Suffered Additional De-
 clines During Day

New York, December 24-Additional de- clines in metals, utilities and rails at tended the stagnant course of today's stock market, which failed in most es- sentials to convey the holiday spirit of bygone years.
 Obvious reasons accounted for the heav- mess of the several divisions referred to- Coppers broke on the reduction of Ana eonda dividend, coupled with a reported cut in the metal to 23 cents; fractions, especially the local group, have long been in disfavor, and transportations con tinued to labor under burdens imposed by federal authority.
 In the metal trade the opinion was gen. orally expressed that the coming year will witness a far-reaching adjustment of conditions among producers and re- liners, with consequent further revision of prices for all base metals.
 Anaconda and American Smelling suf- fered the greatest impairment among coppers; Brooklyn Transit. Interoorough Consolidated preferred, Manhattan Rail- way were weakest of the fractions and recessions among rails ranged from 1 to points in standard issues. while low grade shares recorded more severe re- versals.
 Motors were carried down moderately by further selling of Studebaker. Oils manifested none of their usual indepen- dence, equipments were neglected and United States Steel finally forfeited a point at the weak close. Money condi- tfons were not conducive to operations for the long account, the call rising to 5h per cent, an advance of l per cent over yesterdays maximum.
 French government 5h's attained their highest quotation at 105, but the domes- tic bond list was again unsettled by tho weakness of traction issues. Liberty bonds eased slightly on smaller offer ings. Total sales. par value. aggregated $16, 575, GOO
 Old United States bonds were unchang- ed on call.

New Orleans. December 24.-Although a pronounced holiday feeling developed in cotton today the market retained it's underlying firmness and made substan- tial advances into new high ground. The unfavorable weather over the belt, in- dicating further damage to crop left in the fields, and expectations of increased exports during the last days of the o.l year were the main buying infleupces. At times. realizing sales were in rather large volume but the soft spots only served to attract new buying.
 Around the opening the most active months were to 16 points on, after which there was recovery and advance to level I to IS points over the close 'of yesterday.

Oil a Sinew of War

Thomas F. Logan. in Leslies. 4.s
 Germany has no mineral oil resources. That is one of the chief reasons she lost the war. The machinery of modern war cannot be operated successfully unless it is well fabricated with oil Every thing used in war. be it airplane, battle ship, cannon or bayonet needs petroleum products for it's conservation of opera ton. Nothing else will suffice. Germany tried to make animal fats do She used fats to grease the journal boxes of her railways and soon the German roads were in disreputable shape. Similarly her cannon rusted. Benzol. the pure chemical was poor s,lbstituteVfor gaso- line for her airplanes. Want of oil fath- cred the conception of Germanys s cam paign in Gaiicia. Oil was In Galicia. Roumania wells helped when that nation was occupied. The war has demonstrated the effectiveness of control of oil sup ply in compelling peace It points a trenchant lesson against Irresponsible confscatory policies by governments owning oil. Mexicos unjustified decrees hang today over the heads of the oil interests of the world. They threaten future peace.
