COTTON

The cotton market displayed yesteld day
an excellent tone. final prices being to
"a points net higher and within Few
points of the days best level. The local
session was confined to two hours Of
business and the New Orleans market
was closed. Liverpool was weak. open
ing cables being more than 20 points
lower than due. Prices here were little
changed in the first hour. The opening
was 10 TO 22 points net lower. due to
selling pressure from Liverpool and Wall
Street liquidation. but not long after the
call the market developed steadiness.
Support came largely from shorts. who
felt safer to cover commitments before
the first of the year. There was prob
ably little trade buying in the market.
January was relatively firm during all
of the session. rejecting absence of
notices and scattered spot house buying.
Bulls were much encouraged by strength
of securities and more optimistic news
from dry goods and cloth centres.
Chicago advices were more optimistic
and Fall River reported better feeling,
print cloth sales for the week being
estimated as about $4,000 pieces. Sew
eral in the local trade are of the opinion
that price cuts being made by mills and
retailers will lead to increased demand
uuiing tne new year. IHe iatese Sue
was the reduction of ginghams by the
Amoskeag Manufacturing Company. The
market did not make its highs until the
last. half hour of business, when in
creased short covering found offerings
light. Then the list rose 20 to "a points
net from Thursdays finals. A little
professional selling was encountered
near the close, which was generally
steady. The local spot cotton quotation
was 15 points higher or 14.75.

CHICAGO, Dec. 30.--Fresh strength de-
veoped in the wheat market to-day ow-
ing largely to signs of further improve
ment in domestic milling demand. Prices

SIC. advance oats I CSC. off TO a q y c.
gain and provisions varying from DC. de-
cline TO a rise of soc.
Buying credited to Eastern mills
featured late trading in wheat. and en-
phasizes a generally accepted opinion
that the stocks of all flour buyers are
low and that active competition be-
tween millers and exporters was in
prospect. 1t was pointed out that IA
cilities for the movement OF Canadian
wheat all rail for export are limited and
that European inquiry for wheat by way
of the Gulf of Mexico has been OF un-
precedented volume for a holiday period
Failing off in receipts from the North
vest counted as bullish factor. and so
likewise did a statement from the Chi
cago Federal Reserve Bank that there
had been lessening of the credit strin-
gency in the Middle West.
Corn was relatively weak as a result
of month end liquidation. Oats were
dull and followed corn. Packers buy
ing rallied the provision market from
declines due to lower quotations on hogs.

CHICAGO PRICES.

Export sales in yesterdays cash
wheat market were small because for
eign countries were not bidding for
wheat Some wheat was reported
worked against old business, but Its
amount was small. Neither Great Brit
ain nor Belgium, which usually buys
on Fridays, was active. Milling de-
mand in the West continued to improve
with the increase in flour sales. An i'm
provement in the flour trade will mean
larger sales of wheat to millers. as their
stocks are low. About $4,000 bushels
of corn were reported worked to for
eign countries before the Produce Ex-
change closed at / o'clock for its annual
