Iron and Steel Review

Cleveland. O., December 24,-(Spe- cial l)-Confronted by loss of produc- tions reaching several million tons be- cause of steel and coal strike, iron and steel manufacturers are closing the year with great tonnage of deferred obligations and with order books un- duly swollen large volume of busi- ness on hand, carried over from that originally accepted for 1919 delivery constitutes an important part, and this must be satisfied out of 1920 output many consumers for first quarter and first half entered by producers during the past month or two In a number of lines are unusually heavy. With plant operations still backward, congestion of business has followed which forbids taking on of further obligations and spells continued disappointment to ur- gent buyers byA whom the market is overrun.
 Those steel products in which situa- tion is tightest are sheets, tin plate steel bars, strip steel. wire, and oil and gas pipe In some of these lines, pro rata allotments among consumers will be necessitated Unified sheets book ings in December were estimated at over LOGO 900 tons. In tin plate, 100000 tons of order will be carried over into next year. Steel bar capacity promises to be filled for three to six months. Leading interets is reported to be sold upon oil county pipe through particu- larly all of next year. It has become serious question how some prospective demands are to be satisfied.
 Effect of these conditions is to stim- ulate naming of higher prices. Spread between minimum figures which the steel corporation and other interests following a strongly conservative poli- cy are in quoting, and those being real ized by various mills continue to grow. Pig iron prices have gone higher in some districts, but on the whole the market is steadier Demand for iron continues greater than that available for sale The excess of sheet demand over supply is reflected by American fnauiries for 1000 tons of galvanized, which have appeared in the British market British mills equally are over- whelmed with business in this product however, and can make no deliveries until summer. Prices on various iron and steel materials continue to rise ir Great Britain, according to weekly staff cable or Iron Trade Review.
 Welsh makers are swamped with world inquiry for tin plate, the same as mills in this country. One in- qury from the orient calls for 160, 900 hoxes.-The Iron Trade Review.

 MARKET FIRMS UP COTTON TRADING
General List Closed Firm At a Net Advance of Al to 72 Points Over Tues
 days Finals
By Associated Press

New York, December 24.--The cotton market was more active than any >ly previously this week and showed a gen. erally firmer tone on bullish goods trade advices and optimistic views as to pro- gtess with the peace treaty or an in CT eased spot demand after the holidays.
 March sold up to S5. 7oc or 75 points net higher and closed at B .66c. with the gen. eral list closing firm at a net advance of fl to p points.
 The market opened firm at an advance of 60 points on December and of to 36 points on other deliveries December sold at 39c on the call owing to the apparent absence of notices These appeared later to the amount of about 5000 bales and December broke to 37.75c during the middle of the morning or 65 points net lower, then steadied with the fast sale at 37 Soc. The rest of the list, mean while ruled very steady to firm and made new high prices for the day in the late trading, with January selling at 37.75c and May at B. 40c or about 50 to 75 points net higher on active months Reports that Lancashire manufacturers had booked orders for goods amounting to fully 920,0O0 in value were considered partly responsible for the seftngth of the Liverpool market, and covering was also promoted by reports that buyers were willing to pay higher prices for goods =. the demostic markets. Shipping interests were credited with stopping the Decem- Der notices issued today, and previously this month, and are now supposed to hold practically all the certificated cotton in the local stock. Both Liverpool and New Orleans will be closed today until Mon day morning, but the New York markets will be open for business on Friday.

Shannon & Co.'s Letter

New York. December 24.--After showing a good deal of strength and activity dur ing the morning the market lapsed into the usual holiday dullness, but offerings were small and prices remained close to the top. There is some talk that after the buying today the market win be less able to absorb any hedge selling ifs that makes it's appearance during the two days that the other markets will be closed, but no one can tell if the trad ing will be more selling than buying dur ing that period and there is little to suggest more than a light and temporary pressure. Exports were 14.000 bales.
 Southern advices showed spot markets firm but quiet. though a good demand was reported from some sections There has been no fresh news to stimulate the demand today, but the feeling Is ap- parently more optimistic on the political and financial outlook after the turn Of the year. and with any rear encourage ment from those quarters we believe the market show increasing strength.

Over Private Wires
$. R. Stewart & Co.'S ! etter

Liverpool came much higher than due showing futures 30 to s2 points up' against to points up due, and spot prices A points up. Sales. 5000 bales.
 There were no cables to interpret the rise, which was attributed by one fac ton to larger calling of cotton by Manchester and sympathy with the great rise in Egyptians. while others saw in 1t the reflection of some new impeachment to importation. Press news shed no special light on the case.
 Market held the early gain well and showed quite a change in feeling from the indifference of the past few days. The more general disposition to buy reflects the widespread anticipation of pulilsh developments in spots after the holidays. Spot people mostly talk pullish on the ground of scarcity of better cotton and the belief that mills must soon come for another supply John F. Clark & Co.

TRANSACTIONS FALL EXTREMELY LOW IN
 FINANCIAL WORLD
Smallest Days Business Turnover Since Midsum- mer, Showing Detached
 Attitude of Traders
By Associates Pres,

q New York, December 24-The extreme Toullness of todays stock market trans actions, falling to the smallest total of any full session since midsummer, re- flected the detached attitude of traders and the public at this period of the year.
 In the main however, the undertone was firm, with occasional intervals of strength, particularly in some of the ob- scure OF inactive miscellaneous special taes which suffered severe impairment Tn the November reversal.
 Money was again the one disquieting feature, call loans rising to 15 per cent from the opening rate of 10 and declining to the initial quotations just before the close. Little or no effort was made to negotiate time loans, which ruled at re- cent maximum figures
 Moderate reactions was manifested by foreign exchange, dealers reporting fur ther offerings of demand and time bills on LCndon and Paris, presumably to close out year-end accounts
 Rails and representative steels and equipments made only moderate upward progress at best, but metals and locai utilities, notably Manhattan Elevated, denoted steady accumulation
 Bonds were strong on the rebound in Aeculative rails, investment transporta- 43Ens also stiffening. Liberty issues Ased again, but foreigns were slightly better. Total sales, par value, aggregated sS. .750,000. Old United States bonds were unchanged on call.

SALES RYE AND OATS CAUSES AN UPWARD
 TREND IN CORN LIST
All Grains and Provisions Took An Upward Move. Yesterday With Sales of
 Oats Reaching 500,OOO
By Associated Press

Chicago. December 24.-Big export sales of rye and oats made the corn market tend upward most of the time today. but holiday quiet led to declines near the end of the session. Prices closed weak. at the same as yesterdays finish to Ike lower, with January S1.S5Ss to $1.S55s and May Sl S31s to sl.SSs., Oats gained E to Nsc net, and provisions 10 to 45c.
 Estimates of sales of oats totalled 500,- coo bushels and. of rye an equal amount. The oullish influence of this business was quickly apparent among corn traders, who also tools snotice of gossip that under the Edge bill much larger credits could be extended to Europe than generally has been supposed possible. Besides, opinions were circulated that car scar city would prevent any sustained big crop movement before spring Toward the last, however, Christmas preparations eclipsed all other factors. A general desire to go slow for the time being was manifest and the market gradually lost all of it's ad- vance, and in most cases little more
 Houses with seaboard connections led the buying of oats.
 Knowledge that liberal sales of lard had of late been made to Germany helped to lift the provision market. and so, too, did higher quotations on hogs.

Thomason, Parker & Co., Private Wire

New Orleans. December PA firm mar ket developed in cotton today, the tone being good from the opening Liverpool was better than due, there were reports of good spot demand in the interior, while the most bullistl reports vet re- ceived from Manchester served to put the mill situation in the foreground Shorts were inclined to cover over the holiday and buying for long account of a very good character was in evidence throughout the session. The advance was gradually widened until late in the day the trading months were 5s to IT nr'tts higher than the close of yestekiay
 The New Orleans market closes tonight for quadruple holidays. Next will be broken by but one holiday which is Thursday. Once the holiday season is over we are inclined to look for a very active market, since nothing short of a tremendous business is being done in ffn- ished goods, and again everything points to conclusive action on the peace treaty in January.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, December 24.-Liverpool was sharply higher this morning, representing the calling of cotton and covering of commitments from Manchester before the holidays as Liverpool will not reopen until Monday, the 29th Business in Man chester is excellent so that this demand is quite natural Liverpool was again a buyer n our market, and as there is no inclination to go short prices advanced sorne 50 to 60 points, but with no large volume of business. It is not likely there will be any material change in prices on Friday or Saturday, when this market will be the only one open. We wish you all very merry Christmas -Hubba rd Bros

New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, December 24.-Cotton was higher from the opening almost to the close today mainly as the result of inn proved accounts from the spot deSArt- ments and cablegrams from Liverfool telling of an extremely large volunS of new business being done by English mills. Highest prices came late is the session when the trading months were 3S to 79 points over the close of yesterday Last prices showed net gains for the day of 51 to Il points January closed at B .9sc, which compared with the board price of 40c on middling spots.
 The opening was higher in response So much better cables from the Liverpool market than due. Teegrams from the eastern belt claimed good deman1 fer the better grads, and messages from the western belt said that foreign Hterests were paying extremely high prices for the grades they desired.i. Around the opening prices were gradually wfdned throughout the session.
 The market had little of holiday feel ing at any time in spite of the fact that it closed this evening for quadruple hol- idays.

J. ". Jay & Co.'S Letter

New York, December 24.-The active buying for Liverpool was based mainly upon cable advices of large Manches- ter business for India and China. In addition to this demand, heavy recov- ering helped to advance prices about 70 points. Both December and January were under pressure as the result of notices for 5000. December's circulat- ing spot holders continue to show con- ndence in ultimately higher prices ana are expecting an increased de- mand when the peace treaty is rati- lied. We extend the seasons greet lngs to our friends and wish them a bright and prosperous New Year.-J. w. Jay X. Co.

LINCOLN WOMEN TO STOP BUYING EGGS
 TILL PRICES DROP
By Associated Press

Lincoln. Neb. December 24-The ban on the purchase of eggs by Lincoln women will go into effect again next Saturday.
 Recently Mrs. N. F. Hildreth head of the civics, department of the local Womens club. announced prices for eggs had tumbled from S5 to 55 cents a dozen, following a two weeks boycott on them, and that the ban had been lifted. But removal of the boycott was followed by prices increasing. Some retailers, it is said, are asking as high as 90 cents a dozen. so the women have decided to eliminate eggs from their daily purchases until prices take a drop. Sixty-five cents dozen is con sidered by them to be fair price
