HEAVY MARKET IN GRAIN CAUSED A
 DROP IN PRICES
Provisions Were Quiet, Only a Few Scattered Holdings Being Offered During
 the Day
By Associated Press

Chicago, December 10.-In a heavy market grain prices sagged and pro- visions barely held their ground on the Chicago board of trade today. At the finish wheat was %@1Ac net lower; corn was off 9s to gsc, and oats were hc to Ac lower Pork and lard finished unchanged but ribs lost 212 points.
 Wheat started with a weak under tone and there was an early break when a trade rumor of 8 moratorium in Germany was denied. The drop attracted some buying, but the trade fell away and the second hour saw little variation in prices. Just before the close shorts covered on reports, of a stronger cash market in Win nipeg, coupled with advices that Ar Gentina returns indicated about a normal crop instead of the big yield that some traders had looked for. This movement was short lived and prices sagged again at the close.
 Corn was under pressure but re- sisted fairly well because of contin- ued export demand, and the fact that outside markets were outbidding Chi cago in the cash parket. The sellers pointed to increased country offer ings. and predicted increased arri- vals for next week. Oats were a bit duller than is usual for Saturday, and merely followed corn.
 Provisions were quiet. Only few scattered holdings were offered.

International Credits
 Held a Commanding
 Position Past Week
By Associated presz

New York, December 1O.-Inter- national credits assumed command ing position in the financial markets this week on the buoyancy showing O: allied exchanges. The question or German separations became a dominant issue. authoritive ad- 1 vices pointing more directly to a readjustment of such payments. official figures for the first eight months of the year, showing the enormous increase of French imports to Germany and developments in the Irish situation, also were outstand ing features in the exchange situ- alton. The ushering in of the final month of the year was character ized by greater caution on the part of traders in the stock market. This resulted in visible reduction of the inquiry for both stocks and bonds ana moderate reaction of quoted values.
 Of the more representative shares, rails showed the most persistent pressure. Their reversal was chiefly due to the heaviness of St. Paul is sues, which were freely sold on ru- mors affecting the company's finan. cial status. There was no cessation | however, in the demand for new cap ital offerings. In many instances. notably that of the Oregon Short Line underwriting, subscriptions from investment sources were many times in excess os supply.
 l According to reliable reports the United States government does not contemplate immediate long-term | financing as means of offsetting maturing Victory notes. In the com ing week interest payments approxi- rating s150000,o00 will be made on bonds and short term notes.
 The money market repeated it's confusing course of the previous week. call loans rose to 6 per cent for the first time in month, but loans extending into January and February were made at as low as l4i5 per cent, and buying of mer- 1 chants paper was more liberal.
 In trade circles it is understood that negotiations for the proposed Iconsol dation of the leading indepen- dent steel companies are proceed ing. Weeks, if not months, are ex- pected to elapse, however. before the
 more important details are reduced
 to workable basis.

EVENING UP OF
 ACCOUNTS WAS A
 COTTON FEATURE
Optimistic Views of Trade Prospects Seemed to Find Some Encouragement in
 the General News
By Associated Press

I New York, December 10.-Business in the cotton market was compara- lively quiet this morning, and much of it probably represented evening UT of accounts for over the week. end and in the governments crop report which Is to be published at o'clock 1 on Monday. The optimistic views of l trade prospects seemed to find some encouragement in the general news, Judging from market comment, how ever, and moderate reactions were followed by rallies, with closing prices steady at a net advance of to Il points. January contracts sold up from 17.62c to 17.s0c and closed at 17.70c, compared with,1767c at the close of the previous day
 The market opened steady at an advance of 3 to 10 points on over night buying orders and d scattering demand. which was promoted by fa- vorable weekend reviews of the goods trade and reports of slightly larger spot sales in the southern markets late yesterday.
 Part of the buying was for Liver pool and foreign trade account, but the opening bulge met a good deal Of profit-taking and prices eased off uuIlHS the nllQole or the morning. At one time active months were aboGt to , points net lower, but except for realizing there was no selling pressure and the market firmed up again late in the morning on re- ports of further advance in for- eign exchange rates and Worth street advices, indicating con- tinued demand with an advance in goods prices.
 The market sold 1s to 15 points net higher at ,17.95c for December, and 17.7Sc for March, but closed few points off from the best. Sales of print cloths in. the Fall River market for the week were estimated at 10000 pieces and according to Boston advices, New England mills now are more fully employed than they have been at any time pra- viously since the slump last year.
 London advicesi said that British trade prospects were brighter and that Lancashire was receiving more inquiries for goods. A New Orleans crop estimate of 7,9SS,O00 bales, pub lished early, seemed to have little influence, but q Philadelphia esti- mate placing the yield at 7,990, ,00a running bales made bullish impress sion on sentiment. The average of private estimates is around 7,930,- 900 bales.

Wall Street Has
 Partially Recouered
By Assnciated Press

New York, December 1o.-Wan street is gradually recovering from the general economic depression of the past two years and signs point to a liberal distribution of bonuses and gratuities at Christmas.
 During the boom period of tho World war. holiday gifts by the many financial institutions, brokerage houses and exchanges were on very generous scale. These ranged in many cases from 25 to 50 per cent or even more of yearly salaries.
 This was exclusive of the quarterly or semi-annual payments of 25 to 50 per cent of salaries given to em- ployes to meet the increased costs of living. In the year now ending many banks abandoned the distribution of these bonuses, evidently on the theory that living conditions in many es- sentials had become less onerous.
 A majority of the banks and bank ing houses allot their holiday gifts on the basis of length of service, while others are given fixed amounts.

HUBBARD,s LETTER

New York, December 10.-(Special.) Market acted very well on the open ing with considerable demand from Liverpool and New England mills. On account of the bureau report coming on Monday business eased off after the first half hour and prices re- mained around last nights close. We are still of the opinion that both the domestic and foreign mills are anX- ious to enter the market and it is only a question of time when they will have to enter the market to se- cure cotton to meet the demand that is increasing daily. As soon as the bureau report is out the trade will have a basis on which to make their plans for the coming year. We feel even with a larger estimate than ex- pected demand will cause the market to advance.-Hubbard Bros. & Co.

STOCK MARKET FIRMED UP ID
 SHORTS SORROW
Trading in Bonds Was Broad But Changes in That Quar- ter Were Irregular Dur
 ing Short Session
By Associated Press

New York, December 10.-Opinion in trading circles was rather mixed at the opening of today's brief session. but the market soon turned strong. to the discontinue of shorts who covered extensively before the actual close.
 Coppers, equipments and oils were prominent features at gains of to points. Motors. shippings, rubbers. tobaccos and miscellaneous stocks of the more speculative variety fol- lowed in the wake of leaders at less substantial gains.
 Rails alone were sluggish, many of the representative issues of that division remaining unquoted. Their backwardness was attributed to of- ficial reports disclosing an increase of Idle freight cars. Sales amounted to 450,000 shares.
 Sentimental factors in the days movement included the strength of foreign exchanges. some of which were at maximum quotations since the signing of the armlstice and an- nouncement of the terms of the
 
 ton.
 The November tonnage report of the United Steel corporation, show ing very small decrease in book ings compared with the previous month and weekly reviews of trade conditions by the mercantile agencies comprised the other developments bearing upon market values.
 Trading in bonds was broad. but changes in that quarter were irregu- lar. Liberty issues again denoted realizing for profits, while trans portations reflected pressure in the share list. To all sales par value $10,S75,0000. Actual decrease of $9S,- e00000 in clearing house loans and discounts was something of sur prise in view of the supposed drain on local resources during the week. 4 cash loss Of s7,700,00O reduced ex- cess reserves to slightly less than s10,300.00G.

Hold fast to your gobbler," If you have one, is the advice of Morris ave- nue poultrymen The demand for turkeys is daily increasing and by the time of Kris Kringle's visit 1t will be well nigh impossible to get the king of fowls for a dinner table orna- ment, if the number of sales con- tinues to grow proportionately with the growth during the past week.
 The market for Christmas eatables in the produce line is still very steady, according to reports. It is not eX- peeted that decided change will be apparent until the holiday season opens.
