Cattle-Cattle receipts were rather light
again today, 1890 head and the two days
supply has been fully 5000 short of last
Monday and Tuesday. The trade showed
more life and better tone all around.
Both dressed beef men and packers took
hold Of the desirable light and handy
weight steers freely at stronger prices
but they were indifferent on the heavy
cattle and statesmen found 1t difficult to
get better than steady prices at the rec
ent big decline. Outlet for cows and hef-
ers showed more breadth and in some
cases prices we're a little stronger al
though the undertone was far from strong.
In stockers and feeders both supply and
demand were light and prices showed no
particular change one way or the other.

New Orleans Cotton

By Associated Press
 New Orleans, December 13.--A covering movement among shorts put the cottou market strongly higher today. It was an active session ill the day when the active months were so to 95 points over the closing quotations of yesterday. Last prices showed net gains of 70 to 95 points
 On the opening call there was consider able selling under which prices lost 10 to 20 points. These offerings were induced by the fact that report from the census bureau placed American consumption for November at t9O69s bales, whereas the trade lad been looking for figures well over 5G0 GOO. After the first burst of selling bullish traders pointed out that consump- tion in November last year was only 45.- ell bales, and a buying movement started which was materially, aided by the much better fuel outlook. Short sellers Of the last couple of sessions started to take profits ever the weekend and the market immediately buiged. From then on the demand for covers increased, the heaviest buying coming in the last few minutes of the day.

BETTER TONE IN THE
 STOCK MARKET ON
 VARIOUS FACTORS
Various Gains of 2 to 2A Points in Many Stocks
 Were Made, Which Yes terday Were Weak
Rv Associated Prsss

New York. December 1s.-sentimen- tai factors contributed to the better tone of today's stock market. A mod crate rally in foreign exchange, re- moval of coal restrictions and assur- ances of easier money in the coming week induced considerable short cover ing. There also was some buying for the long account.
 The strongest features of today 8 market. however, were the speculative issues in the motor, oil, steel and equipment divisions, with a liberal ad- mixture of food, paper and miscellan- eous specialties.
 Extreme gains of 2 to S1k points in the many stocks which crumbled the day before were retained at the active finish, many leaders closing at maxi mum quotations. Rails played no part in the trading, that group showing further irregularity, except for Cana dian Pacific, which made net gain of PA points, but recorded loss of "A points for the week. Sales amount ed to 550.O00 shares
 Bonds followed the course of the stock market, standard industrial issues hardening Liberty and Victory bonds were inclined to ease with several of the international war flotations. Total sales, par value, aggregated S12,S75, 900.
 Old United States bonds were un- changed on call during the week.
 A decrease of about $25,000,000 in ac- tuaI reserves of the clearing house re- duced the total excess to little more than $2s,000,000, while actual loans were increased by almost S3S,000,000.

The close was net unchanged to 10 points lower, with near months relatively easy.
 Closing bids: December If 45c; Jan- uary, 14.66c; March, 1496c; May, 15.1oc July, f5.31S September, 15.15c.

"The Pride of Texas"

We already have substantial pro- duction, but it is merely a drop in the bucket, so to speak, compared with the unbounded potantialities now awaiting the drills e1plora- tion. It is our aim to make this company the pride of Texas. The first few who come in with us NOW are the ones who will profit most. I have before me finan- cial statement of the Spencer Pe- troleum Company, prepared by a reputable Dallas firm. It shows our assets to be in excess of five and one-half million dollars with one million dollars worth of stock in the treasury to be used for the benefit of the company. Since that time the Kemp Munger-Alien we'll astounded the world and we are, I believe, by far the largest owners of acreage in the imme- diate locality of the we'll in the predicted trend of production. Since this statement was made, it is not unreasonable to estimate that development near us has in creased the value of our holdings two-fold.
 As final word I personally as- sume responsibility for the suc- cessful conduct of the company's affairs. Act with us today on our advice in this matter and I sincere ly believe your action will be treas ured in your memory as a proud recollection.
 Sincerely,
 J. E. SPENCER,
 President.

 EXCITED ADVANCE
General Cotton List Closed Firm, at a Net Advance of 5 to 92 Points Over
 Fridays Close
By Associated Press

New York, December 19.-Early ir- regularity was followed by an active and excited advance in the cotton mar able peace treaty developments. Jan 'uary deliveries sold up from 34.45c to 35 Soc, or 115 points from the low level of the morning and 84 points net assoc, or 100 points from yesterdays closing figures. January closed at 35.55c, and the general list closed firm sat net advance of 15 to 92 points.
 The opening was steady at decline of points on October, but generally Is to 21 points higher on the improved coal situation, and covering for over the weekend. Tn ehigher prices met a renewal of liquidation, which caused quick reactions with the near months relatively weak, but there was not the volume of selling there was yesterday, and the market soon turned firmer on continued covering. There was also buying by brokers with foreign trade connections and scattering support, CT couraged by the firnier ruling of ex- change and the better tone of the stock market. Later the demand be- came more active and general on ru- mors, indicating better prospect for a completion of the peace treaty, with March selling up to 33. 45c and May to 32c, or about 93 to 97 points net higher December was relatively quiet and showed the minimum gain at the close The census report showing domestic mill consumption of 490698 bales for November, against .440,954 last year
 was somewhat disappointing to local bulls, but was not considered an i'm portant factor. The amount of cotton
 on shipboard awaiting clearance at the clos eof the week was 35S,266 bales, against 174, ,5s0 last year, and reports from the goods trade indicated continued firmness notwithstanding the increased crop estimate
