.CnttOn ReYieM-

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-THE market was
narrow today with the volume small and
fluctuations unimportant. There is an
absence of public interest and a large
percentage of the business is profess
sional in character.
The market is awaiting two reports,
the census report on ginning, which is
due tomorrow morning, and the estimate
due on the 18th of this month.
Recent private estimates are little
larger than the previous reports, sug
costing a crop of over eight million bales.
This has u tendency to restrict bust
ness and it is more than likely that no
pull cspeculatiOn of consequence need
be expected until some ideas are for
mulated as to the conditions next year,
both as to business and the acreage to
be devoted TO the next crop, and in the
meantime trading market is all that we
anticipate

A noticeable feature in connection with
our market is the repeated suggestion OF
an impending important reaction. ke-
actions are natural incidents OF every
market. They result from technical con
ditions, either an over extended long in
terest, or an OvereXtended short interest
There has been a considerable increase
of public purchases recently, ana TINS
may be sufficient to Sive MS another re
action Mt this time but there certainly
is no reason why this should be of un-
usual extent. because basic conditions
now favor advancing values just as last
years basic conditions favored de-
cline.
The principal opposition to the market
rests with some of the professional ele-
ment who have seen the market pass into
the control of the public after having en-
joyed a long period during which they
had their own way.
1t is probably because of a desire TO
force this reaction that pressure has
been concentrated from time to time on
q few issues, on the theory that TINS
would help to upset the general list.
Today and for several days there has
been unusual pressure on the st. Paui
issues. There may be a good reason Tor
selling the stock, but such reason, II
there is one, has not been made public.
The suggestion that the selling is based
on an obligation of the company due in
March Of next year, seems very FAR
fetched.
This debt is due the Government, and
this Government is not going TO bring
about embarrassment of an important
railroad at a time when every effort is
being put forth to help business.
1t is only necessary to read what the
governor of the Reserve Board says and
what the Secretary of Commerce says
in regard to improving business cOndi-
lions in order to feel treasured and to
continue with confidence to take advan-
tage of every reaction to accumulate
stocks.

The Chamber of Commerce through
John B. Reynolds, general secretary, and
Milo E. Stuart, chairman of the educa-
tional committee of the Chamber and
principal Of the Arsenal Technical
Schools. has Endorsed the movement now

in the training of the youth of the coun-
try, the needs of the schools through

gram Of education in fundamental Amer
icanism was planned with the cooperation
Of the American Legion.

PITTSBURGH, Dec. THE iron and

approximately not more than or per

the Independent companies.
The United States Steel Corporation
has maintained activities at about 90 per

have averaged about As per cent. In view
of the larger shipments the Steel Corpora

orders it is possible the statement Of I'M

In addition to the approach of the IN

Wheat-Over and beyond minor items
of news that appear from time to time,
wheat market labOrs under an enormous
hedging load representing not only the
accumulations at visible supply points,
but also grain in transit in various mills
and smaller elevators. This load is
burdensome during the present period
of inactive flour trade and practically
complete absence of foreign demand. A
reflection of the flour business is a de-
cline of about cents in the premiums
for red winter wheat in this market, also,
in sales of 100000 bushels to go to store
for the purpose Of delivery of December
contracts. 1t is claimed that interior
mills i'll the Southwest are selling some
portion of their supplies to terminal mar
kets. The seaboard reports a little better
feeling in export circles, moderate
amounts of durum and gulf wheat having
changed hands. A little business in
ManitObas, was also reported. with Eng
land said to be the chief buyer. Actual
clearances of wheat and flour from the
seabOard to date, aggregate around $780,
100000 bushels which fact gives con-
siderable color to the idea that our re-
serves in first hands are small. This be-
lief Is responsible for such support as
the market receives. We may experience
reactions in price, but pending a distinct
Improvement in the cash demand. the
trend of prices is likely to continue down
ward.
Corn and Oats-Western markets today
confirm yesterdays reports OF an eX-
cellent export demand for corn, but this
character of. demand is overcome by
rather liberal receipts, although it is
claimed that new offerings from the
country are very small. The seaboard is
clearing a few oats, but nothing is heard
of any new foreign demand. At the
moment these markets are neglected. but
at the same time, we feel opportunities
are offered TO the conservative and
patient buyers.
MISUNDERSTANDING demand for hogs
Is the feature I'm this market. Lighter
sorts ruled firm, while packing grades
were easier. Extreme dullness character
ICES products. Prevailing prices are con-
sidered good value, but market lacks i'm
mediate incentive for advance.

In the Cotton Market

NEW YORK, Dec. 7-Cotton opened
steady today, December being about 1
point lower and other positions 3 10 ,
points higher
The feature of the early market was
the buying by spot houses and the sell
ing by Wall street and New Orleans in
terests.
The market reacted after the opening,
due to poor cables, and, by the end of
the first fifteen minutes, the active
months were about points net lower.

WALL STREET GOSSIP. BY MONITOR.

The rubbers and motor stocks came
into prominence Immediately after the
opening of the market. The speculative
groups handling these shares have been
rather open in predicting certain ad-
vances, but whether these forecasts come
true or not, the seasonal movement in
anticipation of New York automobile
show apparently is in full sway. Stude-
baker was the leader in activity, and got
above 81 on very large transactions. one
firm which has in times past operated
for South Bend interests bought 500
shares just before the close.
