WHEAT QUOTATIONS GO
 TO HIGHEST POINT IN
 THE PAST THREE WEEKS
By Associnted Press

Chicago. December s0.-Wheat prices climbed today to the highest point reached in the last three weeks. Inn proved domestic milling demand was the chief bullish factor. The closing, how ever, was weak, 1ac net lower to l1ac advance, with March S1 661adtl 66s4 ana May $i.61@1.6lh. Corn finished la@2c down: oats off 1sn5se and provisions at a setback of SC to 12c.
 Notwithstanding some hesitancy due to adverse industrial developments, bulls soon took control of wheat and held sway until near the end of the session. Signs of increased call from milling fn- terests attracted the lions share of no- tice as opinions were current that flour stocks were lowest and that the bulk of wheat accumulations at present in sight are owned by exporters. The advance i'll wheat prices, though, brought about at ten.pts to realize profits. Late selling pressure was induced also by the bearish showing of the Bank of England weekly statement and by 100000 bushel increase of the- estimated exportable surplus or wheat in Argentina.
 Month-end liquidation weakened corn and oats after a moderate upturn na- taken place in sympathy with the wheat bulge.
 Declines in the hog market had de- pressing effect on provisions.

EASIER SPOT BASIS IN THE SOUTHWEST
 SENDS DOWN COTTON
January Was VeryWeak, Clos ing Forty-tWo Points Net Lower, With 0t h CT
 Months Off Also
By Associated Press

New York, December 30.-The cot ton market lost q good part of yester- days gains owing to the circulation of additional January notice reports of an easier spot basis in the southwes and a renewal of liquidation.
 January was relatively weak, sell ing off from 14.70 to 14.04 and closing at 14.1O or 42 points net lower while other months showed net losses of 22 to 25 points
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of 6 to IS points on steadier cables and overnight buying orders. There was some january liquidation from the start, hdwever, while there was also scattered southern or New Orleans selling with demand less active after the covering movements of the previous day
 The January notices were estimated at about 1000 bales and some of them were reported still in circulation dur ing the early afternoon leading to fur ther scattering selling. This had 8 depressing influence on later months while there was also some bearish comment on the Bank of England statement, the easier turn in the stock market around midday and reports re- ceived here from Houston late in the afternoon said that, middling and strict low middling cotton was being offered at the cheapest basis of the season. March broke to 1865 and May to 1872, or 22 to 27 points net lower and last prices were at approximately the lowest levels of the day There were reports early of rather a better demand for cotton goods. but they failed to inspire any fresh buying of consequence and brokers say the days market was dominated by the liquida . tion of January and scattered southern or New Orleans selling of later months. The New Orleans market will be closed all day tomorrow as well as on Satur- day and the local market will remain closed from noon tomorrow till Mon day morning. Exports today S,060 making 2,366,602 so far this season. Port receipts 27,06o; United States port stocks l 1466325

HOUSTON PERMITS MERCHANT CHOICE
 OF INVENTORIES
Cost or Market, Whichever Is Lower," Is Suggested as Basis for VaIuing Income
 Tax for 1920
By Associated Press

Washington. December 30. - Mer-
 chants and manufacturers may adopt
 cost or market whichever is lower"
 as basis for valuing their inven-
 tories for 1920 income tax returns
 under regulations issued today by the
 bureau of internal revenue. The regu-
 latfons also provide that the differ
 ence caused by the fall of prices dur
 ir.y the year may be deducted in ar
 irving at the value of stock.
 Secretary Houston and officials of the internal revenue bureau were without estimates tonight as to the
 differelJe in revenues which may re-
 suit from valuation at market rather than cost. The belief was expressed in some quarters the difference would
 run into many millions of dollars. h. | ternal revenue bureau officials ex plained that the law permits of choice of basis and under present con , ditons market reflects more ac- ] curately the state of business condi- tions. To require inventories at a cost , higher than market" it was added, would be to put a tax on investment i rather than on income.
 Under ordinary circumstances mar ket' is defined by the regulations as
 meaning the current bid price prevail ing at the date ot the inventory Tor the particular merchandise in the volume in which ordinarily purchased by the taxpayer. The regulations however, further provide that where owing to abnormal circumstances, the taxpayer has regularly sold much mer . chandise at prices lower than the cur rent bid price the inventory may be valued at such prices
 Inventories of taxpayers on what ever basis taken will be subject to in 1 Vestigation, the revenue bureaeu an- nounced and taxpayers must satisfy the bureau of the correctness of the prices adopted. Taxpayers are per mitted under the regulations to value their inventories at cost or market, i whichever is lower regardless of past | practice, but in the future a change will only be permitted with the con sent of the bureau
