REACTIONARY LIST

Liquidation to Establish In- come Tax Payments, Fur " in Money and Cuts

New Pork December 21. - More liquidation to establish income tax ayments, a temporary furry in money rates and additional cuts in prices of commodities. chiefly oils and sugars, were factors in today's reactionary stock market.
 Conditions in the steel and iron in- dustry also invited selling of those issues. Weekly trade reviews stressed the recent slackening of de- mand at Pittsburg and other centers. most independent producers running at about S5 per cent of capacity. Re ports from Detroit and other automo- bile manufacturing districts were of similar tenor.
 The per cent opening rate for call loans proved to be of short duration. funds being freely supplied at D F per cent in the open market by noon. As low as per cent was offered in pri- Nate transactions, that rate also ap- plying to short time accommodations

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
By Associated Press

New Orleans, December 21.-Much of the trading in cotton today re- volved around the question of the outcome of the January position and highest prices of the session were reached on rumors that a squeeze of the shorts in that month was impend- ing and that any and all notices is sued Friday, first January notice day. would promptly be stopped. Recess sions of the day were due for the most part to the desire for profits among traders on the long side and there were times when they had a little more than supplied the demand. This was true toward the close with the consequence that last prices were at net losses on the day of to 8 points. with January down to lI35c, after having traded as high as 17.52c.
 Around the opening longs realized profits freely and caused declines of to l2 points under yesterdays close, lbut reports that spot interests stood re ady to take up all cotton rendered against January contracts caused quick upturn. For while comment concerning the January position dom- mated the market and prices finally worked up to levels 10 to Is points over the close of yesterday. This was the high of the day.
 Toward the noon hour the strength shown in the early trading was gone, outside support was withdrawn alto gether and January finally dropped to 17.1Tc. At this time the list was just about dollar bale under yester- days close

CROP CONDITIONS CAUSE DECIDED
 LIFT IN GRAINS
Wheat, Corn and Oats All Picked Up, While Provi- SionS List Was Un-
 changed to Rise
By xAn.ocinted Praaa

Chicago, December 21.-Unfavor- able crop conditions in the southwest and prospects of immediate govern ment purchasing for Russian relief, gave the grain market today a de- cided lift. Wheat finished strong, 1%c to 2sc net higher with May SLICK to s11S% and July s1.o5% to S1.oSh. Corn gained 4sc to 5sc, and oats A O ss to S O Ac. In provisions the close was unchanged to Tc up.
 After a hesitant start, wheat prices made a ready response to increased buying which appeared to be due chiefly at first to cold weather and to fear that lack of cold weather and in the southwest might bring about crop damage. Some buying was also ascribed to closing of spreads between Chicago and Winnipeg, and to sharp falling off in the volume of receipts both southwest and northwest The market received its chief upward im- pCtus, however, in the last hour when the attention of traders turned to reports that Russian relief buying would be commenced on Friday, and would include wheat and other grain. On the ensuing advance. shorts hur- ried to cover, and one of the big cash houses boupht December delivery of wheat on quite an active scale.
 espitc one lively setback the mar 'ket closed at the days top level ,s.
 Corn and oats ascended with wheat. corn in particular being bullishly af- fected by Russian relief talk. Pro- visions were firmer owing in the main to higher quotations on hogs.

Liuely Market All Day According to Report
 Ouer Priuate Wires
S. R. STEWART & CO.'S LETTER

Birmingham, December 21.--Liver pool came over this morning about as due, with light sales of 5000 bales, cables stated merchants and consum- CTS were buying spots sparingly and futures expected to remain quiet un- til after the holidays. Our markets opened about unchanged and eased off 20 points under yesterdays finals, but on the way down buying of good character was noted and rally of 35 to 45 points was quickly made. After this, however, the market ruled quiet and steady the remainder Of the session. There was no particular cot ton news. Switching from the New York Decembers to later months caused that month to advance sharp ly to 1S.s7c after opening at 1S.22c. The spread between the near and the distance positions narrowed on the theory that supplies would become scarce later in the season.
 Some reports of an easier spot ba- sis iE the southwest were current. Bulls were talking about spinners' panic next year while bears argue the decrease in the dry goods sales and consequent falling off in the spo. sales in the leading southern mar, kets. While the market is expected to rule narrow and featureless during the holidays, proving no more than a scalping affair, we favor purchases on the small setbacks.-S. R. Stewart X Go.
