WEEKS GRAIN PRICES UP
ON SHRINKAGE OF SUPPLY

CHICAGO. November 26.-Increased
confidence on the part of bulls in the
wheat market has been evident this
week in connection with shrinkage of
domestic supply. Wheat prices this
morning were 3ss to cents higher
than a week ago. Corn showed a net
gain of y to B cents. and oats 1s to
Aa1s. Provisions were up 20a22 to q
cents.
Although some reduction in the Wis
ible supply of wheat had been looked
for, the trade was generally taken
by surprise when announcement was
made of a decrease of 100000 BUSH
els in the weekly total knowledge,
too. that exports for the season to
November 1 were 100000 bushels
Period last year gave considerable
force to talk that shipments to Eu-
rope from east of the Rockies had
reached undue proportions, and that
additional exports from this country
might be at the danger. perhaps. of
domestic requirements. Reports tell
ing of unusual activity in buying on
the part of Japanese in Australia and
of less favorable crop conditions in
Argentina tended further to stimu-
late the upturn of prices here, and
another notable bullish factor was
the greater seriousness attached to
thought damage reports from Kan
sA. Temporary Setbacks which took
place in values were ascribed almost
altogether to profit-taking by hold
Export demand for corn helped to
strengthen corn and oats.

HEAVY BUYING FEATURES
WEEKS STOCK MARKET

NEW YORK, November 26-Invest-
ment buying of government bonds
and other high-class securities in
Heavy volume was the striking fea-
ture of the week on the stock ex
change, the share list retaining most
of its recent uncertain characteristics.
A majority of the liberty issues
continued to rise to new high prices
for the year and first mortgage issues
of the leading railway systems also
registered more or less substantial
gains, while secondary railway bonds
were purchased for their speculative
possibilities.
Industrial shares, other than those
under professional control, were little
changed and the oils fluctuated within
marrow bounds, except in isolated
instances, where the short interests
seemed especially vulnerable to at
tack.
Contrary movements occurred in the
money market, rates for mercantile
paper relaxing, while much of the
weeks demand money was placed at
3 per cent, in spite the steady inflow
of funds from interior sources.
An echo of the armament conference
the British foreign minister's allu-
sion to Frances military policy
occasioned unsettlement in the foreign
exchange market, the rate on Paris
weakening perceptibly. Germany
marks again reacted, although asSur-
ances that the next indemnity pay
ment would be made at maturity were

SHARP REACTIONS MARK
WEEKS COTTON MARKET

NEW YORK, November 26.-The
buying movement which had develop
ed in the cotton market coincidental-
ly with the opening of the arms con-
ference at Washington continued
during the earlier part of the past
week. Before the adjournment for

tracts sold at1S.50. making a recovery

pared with the low level of Novem-
ber IL. The market then showed evil
dences of an easier technical position.
and there were rather sharp reactions
today as result of realizing or SELL
ing for a reaction. The advances of
the earlier week were promoted by
the f1rmer tone of Liverpool and re-
ports that the Indian boycott Of for
eign-made cotton goods was losing
ground. This suggested that L.anca-
shire was receiving renewed inquiries
from its East Indian outlets. while an
advance of 172 English points in the
quotation for spot cotton in Liverpool
in three days time was taken as in
dicating that Liverpool stocks must be
very largely held for the account of
spinners.
On the whole the action Of the Eng
lfsh markets was regarded as prob
ably foreshadowing an improved de-
mand from British importers in the
south and aside from that there was
evidently feeling that increased
crop estimates had been discounted
and that enough cotton had been sold
or financed to strengthen the spot
situation in the belt
Reports that the pink boil worm
had been discovered in one of the
larger producing counties of Texas.
attracted considerable attention as
constituting another uncertainty with
reference to future production, Re-
ports from the domestic goods trade
have complained Of a slack demand,
and there has been some talk of in
creased mill curtailment. Lancashire
spinners have voted against organized
