BEARS IN CHARGE !. OF TRADING IN THE CHICAGO GRAIN PIT
Both Corn and Oats Closed Weak and at a Loss, While Provisions Were Strong
 at Gains
Rv A.snr,s..o rr.s,

Chicago, January 9.-Bears had the advantage in the corn market today. largely as result of selling on the part of the seasoned traders whose annual practice is to look for break in prices at this time of the year. The close was weak. l.e to Pc net lower, with May s1.s5A a1.SSas and July. s1ssss to sl.ss%. Oats lost hc to 7sc. Provisions made gains of S1c to s2,
 Values in the corn market tended upward at the outset, but the action of the calendar enthusiasts soon be- came a leading factor.
 Bearish sentiment was emphasized in some degree by word that Governor Harding of the federal reserve advised against extension Of long time loans to Europe Temporary rallies which eusued as we'll as the transient initial strength of the market appeared to he due chiefly to continued scantiness of receipts and higher quotations on hogs. In the end however, discouraged longs unloaded and speculative bears grew eorrespondingly more aggressive.
 Oats declined with corn, despite eX- port sales of 500,000 bushels at the seaboard.
 Provisions were lifted by rise in the value of hogs
 May lard and ribs touched the high est price this season.

New Orleans Cotton
 nv Axxoaiated presx

New Orleans, January 9.-The trend Of Jrices in the cotton market today was
 toward higher levels, following a period of weakness around the opening, induced mainly by an unfavorable view of gin- ming returns. Buying came in strongly
 after the middle of the morning, being
 encouraged at first by large spot trans
 actions and the claim that the signing
 of the peace treaty would help world
 trade. and later by the large mill takings
 for the week and the large export move
 ment. From deeline of 23 to S points
 on the most active months, compared
 with the close of Wednesday. the mar ket moved up to advances of 26 to 45 points. compared with Wednesdays finals and closed at net gains for the session of 20 to 40 points.
 The bearish interpretation of the gin hing returns was due entirely to the Tact that the total production to January o' 1 10. or. .0s9 bales indicated an output tnls last period of G1S0D9 bales, agfs.ast 4s5'Vo inc same period last year and ~ sn two wears ago. Total spot sales here were sse4 bales. Mil takings for the week are nut by Hester at 4ll,oo bales, agains' 303 GOO this week last year and oio'po !his week two years ago. while the weehos eA i ports were l5260 baes. against l5a's,t l this week last year and Si,s2s this weeh 1.-two years ago.

Dun's Review
By Associated Prs.

New York, January s.-Duns tomorrow will say:
 The first full week of the new year, as was not unexpected. passed with many of the features that had made 1919 not able economic period still conspicuously present. General price tendencies have reflected no departure from the upward swing which has long been in progress, Dun's list of wholesa4e quotations again disclosing the now familiar Characteristics and certain essential commodities that had experienced yielding, such as hides. have responded promptly to the re-entry of important buyers into the markets. or to other supporting influences, and are TOW distinctly firmer. The fact is. and has been for many months, that demands in most primary channels run beyond available supplies of the better classes of goods which are chiefly wanted. and strength in pree s logical concomi- tant of such a condition. While many Consumers are bepefiting from the special retail sales in some lines, as in te.- tiles. that are under way throughout the country. yet few. if any, concrete evil dences of permanent change in living costs have made themselves manifest. however certain 1t may be that the ex- isting situation cannot last indefinitely.

Shannon & Co.'S Letter

New York. January 9.-Although sev- eral brokers who frequently act for Wall street housed especially those with western connections, have sold quite free ly. one of them having disposed of about 20 900 bales. according to estimates. The market has taken all offerings without developing any weakness and ruled steady 60 firm all through the later trading
 Exports were very large, amounting to 5000 bales, and private advices from Washington said that the war finance board is ready and willing to help finance export cotton if desired. To judge by the official reports of the amounts on deposit
 in some of the small interior towns in the south, and the amounts out on loans on cotton in those towns, it looks as II the south could come pretty close to play ing a lone hand in the matter of iinanc- ing the balance of this crop. It is an unsettled market that might break sharp ly on some unfavorable news but 1t af- fords little encouragemeRt to sellers, and we should prefer to buy in periods Of weakness.-rPost X Flagg.

EARLY DECLINE IS FOLLOWED BY RALLY
 IN COTTON MARKET
General List Closed Steady at a Net Advance of 10 to 55 Points Over the Close
 of Thursday
By Associated Prsa

New York, January e-Early declines were followed by rallies in the cotton market today. March selling up from s6. .25c to s6 7sc. and closing at se. 75c. with the general list closing steady at a net advance Of 10 to 55 points. Of the more active months, October was relative ly firm on buying for Liverpool or other trade account, selling up to 30.95c, or 40 points above last nights closing figures.
 The market was unsettled at the start, owing to a less favorable view of pros- poets for early action on the peace treaty and lower Liverpool cables.
 The opening was barely steady at an ad- vance of 10 points on December, but 55 points lower on April and 9 to 2S points lower on the active positions, which sold about p to g points below last nights closing figures right after the call. Ex- cept for scattering liquidation and Wall street selling there appeared to be very little pressure against prices. however, and the market soon turned firmer on bullish spot advices, trade buying and re- newed covering.
 Trading was only moderately active later, but prices ruled generally steady to firm reaching the highest levels of the day in the late trading, when May sold at S5 .23c and July at 33. 4Sc, or about 16 to 2S points net higher on present crop positions. There was considerable selling for spot house account on the advance, but this was attributed to hedg- ing against purchases of spot cotton in the south. operations of that sort be- ing estimated at about 25,0o0 bales.
 The census report showing l0,Olf.Ws bales ginned to January l, against 1o,7H, : S6S last year, was about in line with ex- pectations. and was not considered a fac tor of any importance. The advance, however. was encouraged by the contin- ued large exports and Japanese interests were reported buyers of spots in the south.
