EVENING BY SHORTS
MAKES COTTON FIRM
Most Of Gain Is Held at End
as Market Faces Triple
Holiday.

More active evening up by shorts
accounted for the flrmness displayed by
the cotton market yesterday In most of
its session. The list advanced % to 35
points at one time, and held the greater
part of that gain up to the close, which
was l9 to 20 points better than that of
IhU1day. Considering the suspension
OF a prominent Stock Exchange house
and the proximity of the triple holiday
the volume of liquidation was surpris-
ingly small.
The manner in which it was absorbed
showed that buying power was more
than superticial--that 1t was an under
lying power, probably led by trade in
terests. A fair demand developed right
from the opening call. and before long
carried the market about u cent a
pound over the preceding close. The
rest OF its gain was recorded In the
afternoon, when business became less
active.
Liverpool's display of frmness and the
continued optimistic reports from Man.
chester helped the bulls. Although open
ing about net unchanged. the English
marker was some to 10 points better
at the local call. Spot sales of 5000
bales were reported
Official figures of the New York Cotton
exchange placed 251,024 bales in sight
Tor the week, in contrast to 293,429 in
the corresponding week year ago. Con-
tinued firmness indicated that statistics
We're not considered bearish.
The market, in the belief OF many, has
STOOD an excellent test and has absorbed
nuge quantities of cotton. Some active
traders think that somewhat of a clean
ing up of dead swood will occur in the
next few weeks. but that this will not be
reflected in any sharp drop of the
market.

U. S. REPORT CAUSES
SETBACK IN WHEAT
Free Selling Drags Down
Values, Winter Crop Appear
ing Above Estimates.

CHICAGO. Dec. 30.-Free selling, due
to the Government report on winter
wheat and to liquidation by a house In
financial difficulties. led TO material set
backs to-day in the value OF grain.
Wheat closed unsettled, &c. to 2kc. net
July s1O3% to s1.O4. Corn lost 1c. TO
nc. net and oats sc. to 1 &c. In pro-
Visions the outcome varied from 15c. de-
cline to 21ac. advance.
Bearish sentiment regarding the Gov
ernment report was based on contentious
:hai the yield indicated for winter whea.
would be 50.000,000 to 70.000.000 BUSH
els more than had been looked for. Fig
ures purporting to show that the 1922
harvest would nevertheless be 81, 900, 900
bushels under last years total failed to
check the downward swing. Support for
values was poor, and with liquidating
sales in progress the lowest level was
reached shortly before announcement
was made that large firm on the bull
side had suspended. Cessation of sell
ing pressure followed. and in the brief
interval until the close a moderate rally
took place, helped somewhat by word
that an agreement had been signed for
the shipment of S10.000.000 of Russian
gold to the United States to purchase
food supplies. Another aid, too. was the
facl that primary receipts to-day were
less than half as much as the amount
year ago.
Corn and oats were lower In sympathy
with wheat and on account of hedging
and liquidating sales. Shorts. however.
were covering at the last.
Provisions reflected the weakness OF
grain and hogs.

GLOWING SUCCESS AS WORK IS
BROUGHT TO CLOSE.

In the neighborhood of s1,700 had
been raised for the workings of the
Red Cross, when the annual 'roll
CALI in Ottawa closed on Saturday
night. The weeks drive netted far
more than it was thought possible to
raise in Ottawa in so short a space of
time, and was very gratifying to the
workers who had stood at the helm
while Ottawan were urged to sign up
for another year.
When the Red Cross drive was held
last year only $3.50 was taken in from
the sale Of local memberships. This
