STAPLE RECOVERED MOST OF |TSLOSSES
 OF PREVIOUS DAY
January Contracts Were Fifty eight Points Net Higher and Ninety-one Above Yes
 terday'S Lowest
By Associated Press

New York December 23-The cotton market recovered part of yesterday s losses during today's trading. It seemed that all weakly-held contracts had been liquidated on the break of the previous day and recent sellers were among the more prominent buyers on the advance which carried January contracts up to 1473c, or 5S points net higher and S1 points above the low record of yesterday afternoon. That delivery closed at 1465c. with the general list closing barely steady in tone, but between 40 and j0 points above the final figures of Wednes- day. The market opened firm at de- cline of 20 points on December, but gen orally unchanged to 37 points higher. There was one December notice in the street and one sale of December was reported at 1455c.
 Advances in the later months met some scattered southern selling or realizing, but offerings were small and the dis position to cover short contracts after yesterdays big break was increased by the better tone of the stock market and reports of increasing southern mill ac tivity March advanced to 14.65c and May sold at 14s0c. or 63 points net higher.
 There was some bearish comment on the weekly statement of the Bank of England but Liverpool was a buyer here early and the smaller volume of south ern selling suggested that spot cotton pressing for sale had been lquidated or hedged yesterday. Some buying of March was reported against spinners calling, but local brokers attributed the bulk of the days demand to covering. Exports today, 1e0, making 2.26s70 so far this season.

WHEAT WENT TO SHARP ADVANCE YESTERDAY
 ON LARGE EXPORT SALES
By Associated Press

Chicago, December 23.-Wheat scored a sharp advance in price today. helped by progress of emergency farm-relief meas ures and by renewal of stock market strength as well as by large export sales The finish, although unsettled, was 4Am 51ac net higher, with March $1 .66t11. 661a and May s1.s21491 .e2A. Corn gained 1zsu 1Ac; oats 1s@1c, and provisions 27@S5c.
 Decided upward swings began in wheat as soon as trading opened. The chief impetus appeared to come from the House vote favoring enactment of a tariff on imported farm products. It was known that export business had been done over night. but the estimated amount, as at first announced, was small Later in the session, however, the total was greatly expanded, reaching 3.O00,0OJ bushels, and this circumstance, together with material advances in security values, gave fresh advantage to the wheat bulls. Evidence that foreigners were after rye counted also as a stimulus to the rise in wheat.
 Corn and oats reflected strength of breadstuffs, notwithstanding that re- ceipts of coarse grain showed considerable enlargement.
 Provisions were lifted by the jump of cereals and hogs.

CHANGE FOR BETTER IN STOCK MARKET
 TRADING YESTERDAY
The improvement Was the Most Noteworthy Because of Its Almost Uninter-
 rupted Progress
By Associated Preaa

New York, December 3.--A pronounced change for the betterment over the stock market today, supporting orders of sub stantial character and enforced short covering, resulting in extreme gains Of l to upwards of points throughout the general list,
 Altogether the movement was the most constructive of any. in several weeks and indicated consideration of unusual invest ment values
 The improvement was the most note- worthy because of it's almost uninterrupt- ed progress. Occasional setbacks were not mainly due to desire to make profits secure, but the tone at the close was strong. Sales amounted to 1,10Oo00 shares
 Conspicuous features of the advance en- braced oils, shippings steels, equipments sugars and various specialtes foremost in the sharp reaction of the early days of the week. Heavy odd-lot buying was reported by commission houses
 Individual instances of strength includ- ed Mexican and Pan-American petroI- eums United States Fruit Atlantic Gulf. Bethlehem, Crucible, Vandium and United States Steels. American and Baldwin Lo- ccmotives. American Car, American and Beet Sugars, Sears, Roebuck & Co.,, Vir- gInia-Carolna Chemical and Famous Players. There was a steady demand for rails at gains of l to points.
 The only element of heaviness was shown by coppers and rubbers, the for mer reflectng the passing of dividends on inspiration and green-cananea. United States Rubber rallied buoyantly at the finish, more than recovering it's , point setback.
 Money and foreign exchange again failed to exert any influence, the only feature in the international creo1r sit uation being the low record of liability reserves reported by the Bank of Eng land.
 Speculative bonds scored moderate gains also most Liberty Bonds, but the list otherwise was irregular. Total sales, par value, $2fS75,090
 Old United States bonds were un' charged on call.

Hubbard Bros. X Co.'S Letter

New York. December 2S.-(Specia1) Our market assumed a steadier tone this morning after the severe decline yesterday. Considerable short cover ing was in evidence and the demand was sufficient to bring prices up some half cent or more. This rally was a natural one but it proves that suffi- cient buying orders were in the ring from the trade and people who have been holding off. We are all searching for the bottom some think it has been reached, while others are of contrary opinion. We believe general outside conditions are still uneasy and during the adjus tment our market will reflect bearish news from time to time. The strong stock market was no small fac tor in our advance. News in general today was favorable with the exception that the Bank of England rates were lower than for some time. We believe that purchases made on setbacks will prove profitable at later date.-Hub- bard Br~-

New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, December 2S.-Natural reactions from the long decline were made in the cotton market today. shorts covering cotton, realizing profits almost from the opening, while a fair volume of buying for long account was met and practically after mid session following the bulges in the stock mar ket Around the opening the more ac- tive months were ] to , points off. but the whole list soon was higher and late in the session the list stood 53 to 61 points over the close of yesterday. with January at 13.69c and July at 14.33c The close showed net gains of 43 to 51 points.
 The small declines on the first call were due to lower Liverpool cables than due. After the first bulge of about a dollar a bale the market hesitated be- cause of the showing of the weekly
