The success OF Bryce Cardlgan's
pian for getting his rails down from
Laurel creek depended entirely upon
the whlmsy which might seize the crew
OF the big mogul that hauled the last

woods on Thursday afternoon. Should
the engineer and fireman decide TO
leave the locomotive at the logging

THE BIRMINGHAM AGEHERAID THURSDAY DECEMBER
WHEAT WENT UP ON NEWS
 OF VESSELS ARRIVING AT GALVESTON TO CARRY GRAIN
Rv Associoted Press

Chicago, December 29.-Bullish senti- mcnt revived in the wheat market today owing more or less to word that a large number of vessels had arrived at Gal weston and would load out 5,000OO0 bushels within the next few days. Prices closed firm at 31s14c net higher, with March $1 .e6i4 4G1. .665s and May s1.61H@1 .6l12. Corn gained 1ssG2c; oats, 9sa11&c. In provisions the outcome varied from 21ac decline to % advance.
 At first the wheat market showed a downward tendency, largely as resui. Of apparent absence of any sign of new export business. Besides fresh declines n the value of cotton formed an ee- ment of depression. Later, however, lib- eral clearances of wheat and flour from the seaboard attracted notice, and to- gether with the numerous vessels arriv- ing at Galveston, put the bears at ais advantage. A broader domestic milling demand for wheat was also reported. and country offerings were small despite an advance of 1c for shipments to the gulf. Talk of competition ahead from Argen- tina failed to act as an offset.
 Indications of relatively light move ment next week helped to strengthen corn after a weak start. There were signs, too, of a little European buying at both Chicago and St. Louis
 Oats followed corn upgrade. Provisions averaged higher with grain, despite lower quotations on hogs.

New Orleans cotton Ry Associafed PreSs

New Orleans December 29.-A pro nounoN display of strength was made by cotton for while today following carly declines, during the course of which the market went through the usual per formance of breaking into new low grounds for the season. A general cover ing movement among shorts in order to realize profits was mainly responsible Tor the upturn, although there were claims of a better demand for the lower grades
 r some western spot markets, and 1t vas also evident that at least moderate investment demand was springing up. From the lowest to the highest. there was a rise of over hundred points on the most active months. The close was at net advances for the day of 8 to Al points.
 The opening was lower and the early trading was done at the expense of values, the main reason for the selling being another sensational decline in Liverpool. At the lowest. the trading months were 1T to B points under the close of yesterday. with January down to 12.2 25c and July down to 12.0c. The demand gradually became better and the market commenced to recover, but 1t did not show pronounced strength until late in the 6ay when January moved up to 13.23c and July to 1882, the strongest months here standing at net gains of 51 to 52 points.
 Some of the realizing on the short side was hastened by the announcement, re- sponsive to petition from mem bers tha t the exchange would be closed Friday, as we'll as Saturday.

LOW RECORDS GIVE WAY ID SHARP RALLY
 IN COTTON MARKET
At Final Figures the General Market Was Steady at Net Advance of Seven to
 Fifty Points

New York, December 29.-An early de- cline, establishing new low records for the season, was followed by sharp rally
 in the cotton market here today Janu- ary was relatively firm, selling up from 13. 75c to IA 63c and closing at 14.52c, with the general market closing steady at q net advance of to 50 points. The few January notices issued so far have been promptly stopped, while the threat of harbor strike, beginning on Saturoay creates uncertainty as to the bringing of cotton here from the south in time for delivery. Part of the January short in terest is believed to represent Liverpool straddle excess. and houses with Liver pool connections, as we'll as some of the spot houses, were buyers of that posltioh during today's trading.
 The market opened easy at decline oS 20 to s points, owing to the weakness or Liverpool a renewal of yesterday seiiing movement and some southern selling, pre- sumably against cotton in the southwest ern spot markets, al the decline of Nes- terday.

The immediate selling pressure then subsided, however, and the market turned firmer during the n1idcic of the day on covering promoted py re- ports of a better tone in the stock mar ket and the strength of the January po- sition.

New York, December 29.-Substantiai inquiry for transportation shares infused appreciable activity and strength into the stock market today after an irregular opening in which Several new low rec ords for the year were made.
 Buying of rails was most marked in the dividend paying issues at gains of l to points, hut secondary or reorgan' ized properties of roads traversing rich agricultural sections of the west and southwest were not neglected.
 Oils, steels, equipments and motors displayed greater stability than at any time since the recent upheaval and va rious specialties of the tobacco, food, chemical and utility groups scored va Iiable advances.
