SOUTHERN SELLING
 CAUSED EASING OFF
 IN COTTON MARKET
At Close of Session General List Was Easy at a Net Decline of Five to
 Twenty-Five Points
By Associated Press

New York, December 17.-The cotton market was very quiet today and after holding steady during the greater part Of the morning prices eased off under increased southern selling. January con- tractc declined from 5.S0c to 15.4Sc at the close. with the general list closing easy at net decline of to p points
 The market opened steady at de- cline of 1 to 10 points in response to disappointing cables, but soon firmed up OH covering by January shorts and scat tered buying. The latter was probably encouraged by report of further progress in the organization of southern baking corporation to finance exports under the Edge law and over night reports of a better spot demand for southern spin ners. March sold mp to 15.65c. and May to 15.70c, or about to 10 points net higher. but demand failed to broaden and after a very narrow midday session the market became more active and weaker late in the afternoon. This decline was accompanied by reports of increased spot offerings and bearish weekend figures may have had some influence, although unfavorasble statistical features have been foreshadowed, in crop estimates and trade advices.
 Texas wires reported perfect weather and claimed that farmers were selling freely, which may have accounted for increased southern offerings here late m the afternoon when March sold at l5.55c and May at 15 40c, or about 30 points below the high level of the morning. Washington advices reporting an effort to hasten further consideration of the proposal to revive the war finance cor poration appeared to be without any de- cided influence Exports today, l6,Sl, making 2,145.830 so far this season.

IRON AND STEEL REVIEW
Cleveland, December -(special) )-Th'

Cleveland, December f7.-(Special.)-The Iron Trade Review says:
 Production of iron and steel continues on the down grade. With new business and specifications exceedingly small, barr ring one or two favored lines, many op- erations are being readjusted to a frac- tional basis until after January l or longer. An important Cleveland semi finished plant was shut down indefinitely this week because of a lack of tonnage. Merchant blast furnaces still are blow ing out freely. Some producing districts such as the Mahoning valley are on a 50 per cent basis this week. Steel ingot output for the country in November was at the annual rate of B, 190,000 tons compared with 4,970,0C0 tons in October and 43, 410,0OO tons in September. Because of their large order book at minimum price the Steel corporation plants, how ever are able to maintain a relatively high rate of operations.
 Prices as a whole are more stationary than in several weeks, but broadly so little attractive business is coming up that the market simply is drifting. The Iron Trade Review composite price aver age of the iron and steel market this week is s53.57, against s54.A last week, $S3 34 four weeks ago, and the highest point of $6S .S7 in August. Wage reductions have touched the base of the steel indus try. In the Lake Superior iron helds one independent operation has put in ef- feet a cut of 25 per cent and another or 20 per cent. Other companies are ex- pected to follow it's lead. There has been a further scaling down of both wage rate in salaries and equipment automo- bile, shipbuildng and other industrial plants in various directions
 Some independent steel makers are re- ported to have expressed an intention to adopt wage reductions around the first of the year, but the extent of these has not been indicated,
 Lake producers express the hope they may be able to reduce iron ore prices next year. They maintain, however, that any substantial cuts of this character are dependent upon what establishments may be effected in lake and rail freights and in wages. The prices of A7 mill for open hearth and s45 for Bessemer were applied the past week by the Steel corporation to the heavy tonnage of rail business it has accumulated on it's books for 1921 deliv- cry. Independent mills continue to quote Si.

New York Futures
New OrleanG cotton
By Associated Pre-,


 New Orleans, December li.-boWer prices prevailed in cotton selling. mak- ing it's appearance in moderate volume on the opening and being felt to some extent throughout the session. The close was practically at the lowest, at net losses of 24 to 2s points. with January at 145Sc and July at 14.96c.
 Selling of the early hours was caused mainly by the ginning estimate from a. private bureau of 10,S20.co0 bales pro duced to the 18th of December, against 9,396, ,646 to the same date last year and 10,2S1,13 two years ago. This meant ginning for the last period. which was the 7th of the ginning season, Of 675 900 bales, against 552o0o the same pe- riod last year and 710,000 two years ago. Such a showing was considered alto gether in keeping with the government s estimate of the crop this week Of l2,- 9S7,000 bales. Floor comment was that ginning for the period was rather heav- fer than expected.
 Claims of a somewhat better spot de- rand here and at some points in the interior caused partial recoveries for a while ard around the middle of the day the most active months were only about 10 points under yesterdays close. Later the market was adversely affected by the small nsl takings under the effect of which lowest levels were reached. Hester put takngs of American cotton this week at 237 900 bales- against 497 .0e1 this week last year, and 259,0oo two years ago.

DUN's REVIEW
By Associated Presa

New York. December 17-Duns tomor- row will say:
 The signs of betterment in business, if outnumbered by the unsatisfactory fea- lures, are becoming more distinct A change is seen in certain primary textile branches where the movement is freer and some buyers in the leather trade are showing renewed interest. Whether the indications of improvement mark defi- mite turning point in the lines affected is not clear at the moment, but the symp- toms are encouraging. It is not to be expected that revival will come sud- denly or in all quarters simultaneously. The economic readjustments have been irregular, having gone farther in some directions than in others. and the pro- cess of recuperation will probably be gradual and checkered. That. solid basis for recovery exists is a convic- tion strengthened by the weeks crop es- inmates. disclosing unusually abundant harvests and the powerful banking re- sources and better transportation fa- cilities are important constructive fac tors.

EXPORT BUYING WAS CAUSE OF WHEAT AND
 CORN TAKING A RISE
Ky Assnciated Press

Chicago December 17.-Big export buy Ing of both wheat and corn did good deal today to lift the value of all grain and of provisions as well. Wheat closed strong, 51s961sc net higher, with March s1.64G11 641. and May s1.5SG1 5S1s. Corn gained 1%q39sc; oats 1G19s, and provisions 12640c
 The wheat market was on the upgrade practically the entire session Foreign purchasing was said to total 2,OOp,0 bushels of wheat in addition to 3.0p0, ,OiJ bushels the previous day, and it was said that Denmark had alone taken recently 100000 bushels of corn, with liberal sales of corn to Holland also The fact that sterling exchange had moved up rapidly of late was likewise a bullsh factor, and so too, was knowledge of steps being taken in Washington looking toward an emergency tariff on wheat and other az ricultural products. Besides, attention was given to dispatches saying the gov ernor of North Dakota had denied re- ports that he would require farmers to sell % per cent of their wheat. Govern ment figures on the acreage and eondi- ton of winter wheat and rye proved to be about as expected and so made little impression.
 Signs that big elevator interest had switched to the bull side helped to strengthen the corn market. Oats toi- lowed corn.
 Provisions rose with grain and hogs.
