NEW YORK COTTON IkY A Assnciafed Prrnn
NEW ORLEANS COTTON


 New Orleans. December l6.-Small ginning returns from private sources and another hole in the visible sup ply put the price of cotton higher today After declines of to points Curing the first call the market braced up and rose to net advances which, with several small recessions, were maintained during the rest ot the session. In the late trading prices were Is to 29 points higher than the close of yesterday, while the close showed net gains on the day of II to 24 points January traded as low as 16.64c. rose to 17c and closed at 16.95c.
 The early buying was due to prl- yate bureau report of 7,S00,000 bales ginned to December IS. indicating production for this last ginning period of but 100000 bales. Reports or somewhat better spot demand he'peu values after the effect of this report worse off.

Retail Trade Still
 Shows Improvement

New York, December 16.-Dun's to- morrow will say:
 With the year end only fortnight distant and holiday interruptions im- minent, it is obviously not the time to expect significant changes in busi- ness. Dispatches from widely sep arated centers indicate that retail trade has gained in activity and bis- tribution of heavyweight goods has been quickened by sharply lower tenn peratures in different sections. These are purely seasonal phases. however, and the fact is not obscured that most consumers are purchasing with great CT discrimination and with closer re- gard for prices. Calculations of pros- pective public buying power are being made with allowance for the prevail ing unemployment of many workers and the decline in prices of farm products, and dealers everywhere con tinue conservative in providing for forward requirements The outlook in various basic industries remains more CT less uncertain but it is not unprom- ising. f

Government Report
 Checked Optimistic
 Trade Prospects
By Associated Press

New York. December t6.-Buying on a more optimistic view of trade prospects was checked by the publi- cation of the governments crop 'esti- mate at the beginning of the past week. and prices broke sharply un- der more or less general liquidation. The official forecast of S'34O,0O bales was only about 100000 bales in excess of average expectations, but with market conditions otherwise more or less uncertain, the increase in the crop estimate evidently unset tied sentiment. The price of Janu- ary contracts broke to 16.S0c before the selling movement slackened, which made a decline of about ITO points from the best price touched toward the end of November.
 There was nothing to indicate any increased pressure of spot offerings on this decline however, and after speculative long accounts had been reduced the market turned steadier on renewed talk of improving trade conditions with January contracts showing a recovery of over cent pound from the lowest during today's trading.
 There has been quite as much com ment on the governments revision of acreage figures, as on. the estimate of the crop itself. According to the statement which accompanied the publication of the crop figures, the acreage was materially under price estimates at the end of last June when the area planted was placed at 26.519.0OO acres Mondays report raised 1t to 31427000 acres actually picked after 2S per cent of the acre. age planted had been abandoned. l. would seem from this statement that instead of reducing their acreage by 2S.4 per cent last spring planters actually made cut of less than 13 per cent on the average, notwith- standing the low price and all the eff forts made to hold crop preparations down. The report in this respect, naturally, has been discussed with reference to prospective acreage this spring should prices be higher or conditions otherwise more favorable.
 The very small indicated yield of this years crop per acre. however, has emphasized the uncertainties of production. while the hope of an in- creased trade demand has been en- couraged by the recent rise in foreign exchanges and favorable view of in ternational political news. Reports that Germany could not meet the January reparations payment had lit tie apparent effect on today's mar ket and appeared to have been an- ticipated. Business in the domestic goods market was checked by the i early week break in raw material but showed signs of reviving later

IMPROVING TRADE
 OUTLOOK IS CAUSE FOR A COTTON RISE.
January Closes 35 Points Net Higher and More Than 50 Above Tuesdays
 Low

l New York, December l6.-Reports
 of improving trade prospects were
 considered chiefly responsible for
 further recovery in the cotton mar 1 ket today January contracts sold
 up from 17.42c to 17.S5c or 35 points net higher. and more than s5 a bale above the low level of last Tuesday morning. They closed at 1780c, with the general market closing barely steady at net advance of to 30 | points. There was some nervousness over the situation as to German rep arations payments at the opening
 Liverpool made fairly steady showing and first prices here were 1 point higher to 1 point lower, but active months showed net losses of to 8 points right after the call with March selling at 17.42e. The comparatively small offerings were readily absorbed on this setback however. and the market turned firmer before the end of the morn ing on talk of light private gin hing returns and reiterated reports of an improving trade demand. The south was a considerable buyer here, presumably to cover short contracts while covering was also reported for western and Wall street account, and there was some trade buying on the advance, which carried March con tracts up to 17S0c in the late trad ing.
 Last prices were or points off from, the best, under realizing. Pri- vate returns were said to indicate a ginning of 1900, ,000 bales to De- cember t3 or about 159 ,000 for the first half of December, which was regarded as indicating that the crop was no larger than the estimate of last Monday. A local exporter re- ported bids from Europe close to a working basis, suggesting that busi- ness might soon develop, and there | were Galveston advices indicating | that large amount of ocean freight | room had been engaged for ship 1 ment from there to Japan early in the new year.
 Weekend figures showed fall ing off in the movement of cotton. both in and out of sight, as com i pared with the previous week, but l indicated a further decrease of 20,459 | bales in the worlds visible supply of American.

MOISTURE IN THE
 WINTER CROP BELT
 CAUSES PRICE DROP
Wheat SeeSaWed, While Corn Went off and Oats Made a Small Gain-ProviS-
 ions Varied
By Associated Press

Chicago December 16-Rain and snow over large sections of the win ter crop belt with reports that drouthy regions in the southwest had received some moisture tended today to make wheat prices average lower. The finish was unsettled, at 5sc net decline to Ac advance Corn closed IS off to lz up Oats gained A c to E c lsc, and in provisions the out come varied from sc less to a rise of 75ac
 Aside from the weather influence which gave bears the advantage, at tention in the wheat pit focused chief ly on the Kansas state crop report. During the early trading the enlarge ment in the Kansas estimated yield as compared with the government August returns and with last year s harvest was something of a stimulus to bears, but in the last part of the day was practically offset by knowl- edge that Kansas farm reserves were figured as being 5O,000.OOO bush els less than was the case a year ago. Based on preliminary thteshing re- turns, the Argentine crop was esti- mated today at 1S7.00O, GOO bushels as against 169,000,000 harvested last year Taken as a whole trade lacked volume, and although fluctuations were numerous they at no time got beyond a range of l Hc.
 Corn and oats. like wheat. held within narrow limits For tke mosS part dealings were of a local char acter. Slowness of export call for corn was a subject of comment, but values were upheld by prospective Russian relief demand
 Provisions showed no decided change. Packers sold, eastern inter- ests were buyers.

 There was more activity in the raw sugar futures market and prices were easier under scattered liquidation and selling by trade interests, closing 7 to 10 points net higher. January closed 2.1sc March 2.12c; May 2.24c: July 2.3sc.
 There was a decline of 10 points In the refined sugar market to the basis of 5.l0c for fine granulated hut there was no increase in the demand
