a year ago the name Of Gladys
Walton was unknown to the great
plllic. although Universal directors
had their eyes on her for some
months. After giving her several i'm
portant parts to test their judgment.

WEEKS COTTON MARKET
SHOWS DECLINING TREND

NEW YORK. December 3.-The
cotton market showed a declining
tendency during the greater part Of
the past week. January contracts
which had sold up to 1880 just be-
fore Thanksgiving day were as low
as 1852 during todays earlier trad
ing, compared with 1905, the low
level touched earlier in the month.
any material pressure of spot Offer
ings during the progress of this de-
cline, but the south has evidently
sold freely enough to supply the
immediate demand, and there has
been liquidation by recent buyers
in the futures market. The latter has
been attributed to disappointment
over the failure of trade demand to
show any improvement of consequence
and to the failure of Liverpool to
maintain its recent advance
In the domestic goods markets de-
mand has remained quiet owing
partly, it is believed. to a desire to
keep jobbing and wholesale stocks
down until the taking of year end
inventories. Under these circum-
stances, domestic spinners are said to
be showing little interest in the spot
market, and the business reported
pending in Lancashire a week or ten
days ago does not appear to have
materialized.
These features have held fresh buy
ing in check. but there has been bull-
ish comment on the rally in foreign
exchange and the pink boil worm
situation, which probably led to some
buying and contributed to the steadier
tone of the market toward the end
of the week.

WHEAT BULLS CONTROL
WEEKS GRAIN MARKET

CHICAGO. December 3.-Wheat has
advanced in price this week, owing
largely to estimates indicating that
the condition of the domestic winter
crop Is the lowest ever met. Com
pared with week ago, wheat prices
this morning showed N to 21a cents
gain, with corn unchanged to III
cents lower, oats unchanged to 1saM
cents down and provisions varying
from ~ cents decline to a rise of
$1.05. At times the wheat market dis
played activity on large scale. with
a material increase Of trade from the
outside.
Bullish sentiment was first stimu-
lated by reports that smallness of the
rice crop in Japan and China would
cause buying of wheat for those coun-
tries. Heavy falling off in the esti-
mated exportable surplus of Austria
liza was also given special attention.
1t was only, however, when remark
able Kansas crop figures were pub
lished. and later when a leading
authority here suggested that the
United States winter crop, taken as a
whole. would be reduced 20 475 000, 600
bushels, as against 544.000,000 bushels
last year. that the more decided gains
in price for the week were effected.
On the other hand. rains in Texas and
Kansas. as well as in southern Ar
gentina, tended more or less to ease
the market again as the week drew
to a close.
Predictions that colder weather
would bring about enlarged receipts
of corn were burdens on the value of
corn and oats.
Pork jumped much higher owing to
scantiness of the stock on hand. Lard
and ribs, though. were but little
changed.
Evening star., 1921-12-03

involved an expensive reckoning to
'speculators operating for decline
in the exchanges. Then as the mark
recovered there came the predicted
crash in the German security mar
ket. which for months has been given
over to frantic buying on the idea
that the paper currency would finally
become almost worthless. and that
the proper course was to convert cash
into securities, no matter how ex-
ravagant the prices paid.
But SO far as German exchange was
concerned, the upturn in the middle
of the week was not at all convincing.
The subsequent reaction was suffi-
ciently violent to Indicate that there
was no great amount of confidence in
banking circles that the moratorium
proposition would eventually go
through. The conference of interna-
tional experts, called to consider the
reparations problems may accomplish
something or it may not, but as it
looks now the one way out which
promises much-that is. which seems
to have much chance for SUGGESTS
through a German loan raised abroad
on security offered by private indus
trial enterprises.

Market Price Level, However, Breaks
Through High Of Month Ago Without
Predicted Reaction.

until there had been something of
setback.
In the trading of the last few days
stocks representing industries which
as the immediate outlook for profits
are concerned. have been discriminate
ed against as they have all along,
but by far the greater part of the
industrial list has moved ahead. so
| that to the discontinue of the critics
the price level has broken through
| its high of month ago without the
predicted reaction intervening.
The market has once more become
| responsive to operations for the rise,
and to favorable outside suggestions
like that of the impending merger of
the Independent steel companies. No
such lively upturn as that of Friday
| in the steel group has been seen at
all this season.
| The conclusion to be drawn from
these experiences is that the market,
while differentiating between the
good and bad in the trade situation, is
still strongly inclined to look upon
| the bright side of things. One factor
which Is counting for more all the
time Is the ability of the railroads,
under the present conditions of the
investment market, to do their own
financing without government aid.

| inasmuch as the steel companies or
dinarily derive a third of their busi-
ness from the same source, the re-
viyal in railway buying is a power
/ full help to the market for these two
classes of stocks.
While serving as stimulus to the
speculative list, the impending rail-
