UNSTEADY TREND
MCURB MARKET
Heavy Selling Of international
Petroleum Sends Price
To Low Mark.

NEW YORK. Dec. sy-weakness
developed In numerous quarters in
the course OF today's trading in
records were established. Where
bids appeared weak. traders de-
pressed prices 10 new low levels
on the exchange OF a comparatively
small amount OF stock. In most
cases there were rallies from the
low levels, but movements continued
uncertain in a large part Of the
late trading.
The most important feature OF the
market today was the continued
heavy selling OF international Petro-
leum by Canada The steady supply
OF this stock forced it's price to-
day below l6. The Standard oil
group showed little activity, ana
although bids were lowered. no i'm
portant changes occurred. Midwest
Refining dropped points or so
Simms Petroleum sold down 70 a
new low record, but rallied in the
afternoon, and Ryan OIL yielded
about ! point Maracaibo and her-
ritt were firm. Nipissing Mines fell
to its lowest level in considerable
time.
General Asphalt continued heavy
and sustained a further loss. Aetna
Explosives was steady, with a few
transactions at 81. Hercules Pa.
per was subjected to severe pres
sure around midday. and declined
4 points.

COTTON ACTIVE
WTTHCOOD TONE
Liverpool Firm With Good
Reflection in. United
States Market.

NEW YORK, Dec. sy-while an
early Improvement in cotton futures
was not entirely maintained today,
the market appeared TO have q
fairly good undertone and there was
not much aggressive pressure.
Dealings in. the pit were fairy
active during the forenoon. but the
afternoon session was quiet with
a general disposition TO even up
commitments for over the govern
mont report.
Initial quotations were 2s to 3s
points higher. Most of the strength
was in response TO unexpected firm-
ness at Liverpool Liverpool inter-
ests were the best buyers early.
Houses with Western and New Or
leans connections also bought.
The buying for English account
decreased after the close abroad.
and the market here became a little
more sensitive to selling orders.
Better spot advices helped to check
selling. but there were reactions OF
20 to rs points from the high level
OF the morning. Changes through
out the afternoon were narrow. bu,
final quotations were steady, net IN
changed to 20 points higher. Spot
here was quiet. with middling un-
changed at 1880; there were nc
sales. Spot at New Orleans wa,
steady. with TIC revised quotation
Of middling fixed at l5c; the sale,
were 1.sz5 bales.
Receipts Of cotton in bales at soms
of the leading points today were

Expect Change in Grain
Conditions End of Year

In their daily letter issued at the
close OF yesl Jays market. Thorn
son AcAinnon. grain brokers, said
in part;
-whsat-The idea that conditions
undertyins the economic situation
vii ecs-C ~ the surface tn business
at the end of the year prevails to
the entire trade. The result Is that
there Is a considerable curtailment
Of investment buying and anticipa-
tion of future wants. This situation
will be probably operative for pos
sibly another thirty days. In the
meantime, the foreign demand for
wheat appears practically every day.
II is thought that the volume Of
business done today is OF liberal
proportion, but no estimates have
been published. The liftin gof en-
bargoes against expectation Of Ar
gentine wheat Is nothing new, II
haying been announced some time
since that action of this sort was
probable There have been some de-
malls of the report that the embargo
void be repealed Immediately. How
ever, IL Is Of more Importance to
note Broomhalps cables, which men,
tion too much rain for successful
harvests. This condition prevails
also in New South Wales.
"Corn-The financial situation is
effective in corn to the extent that
new demand Is small. There is some
expectation Of a larger movement
from the country. and on this belief
lower prices are anticipated. The
market may also assume a dragging
tendency while the kinks in the
financial world are being ironed
out"

sands of aces of coal deposits ad-
jacent to railways which can be
opened at any time that the open
market offers opportunity for profit.
During the past year on one rail-
road more than 1000 new mines
were opened.
Some deficiency of transportation
for a period may make il impos-
sible to ship from the mines the
tonnage of coal needed to meet
current demands. That is a mat
ter, il may be argued, against which
the public should be safeguarded. /
agree. But this has already been
done. The public is fully protect
ed against that kind of emergency
by the Esch-Cummings law, the new
transportation act.
On June 1 Of this year. the United
States was shorter of bituminous
coal than IL had ever been on June
l in any year of which We have a
record. We were far worse OF than
on June 1. 1917. We faced a very
grave situation because the rail-
roads, disorganized by government
control and the switchmen's strike,
were unable to ship more than about
100000 tons OF bituminous coal a
week, when the country needed 49,
00o, 900 tons per week.
Through the advantage afforded
by the Esch Cummins law. the
| country today, instead Of facins
national disaster. is back to normal
conditions OF bituminous coal sup
ply. Thus the Esch-Cummins law
and the Interstate Commerce Com
mission have beef subjected to the
seyerest possible tests of their suf-
fciency in the face Of a grave trans
portation emergency, and they have
more than made good. Clearly, then.
no more legislation Is needed.
