Wheat Averages Slightly Higher
 Price Yesterday
By Associated Press

Chicago, January 12.-Wheat aver aged a little higher in price today chiefly owing to removal of hedges against sales of 100000 bushels of seed wheat taken for shipment to Russia. The market closed unset tied, varying from % e net decline to Mc advance with May S1.11M to s1.11ts and July ssA to 9s%c. Corn finished shade to E. higher. Oats unchanged to shade off, and pro- visions at gains of 7la to 5Oc.
 In addition to the bullish effect or Russian relief dealings, the wheat market was given at times slight further stimulus by indications of im- provement in domestic milling de- mand Firmness in the Liverpool market tended somewhat also to help the bull side. On the other hand, general export inquiry was slow as result apparently of Ar gentine competition. Besides the gen. eral market effect of the fall of the French cabinet was depressing. all though May delivery scored the high est prices of the season after the news from Paris had been circulated. Assertions that the Italian govern ment might throw it's S7,0oO,00o bushels of wheat reserve on the mar ket to prevent a rise in bread prices was given as reason for selling which weakened prices here at the last
 Corn and oats were upheld largely by the influence of purchases made for Russian relief.
 Higher quotations on hogs ap- peared to be responsible for the ad- vance in the provision market.

COTTON MARKET IS AGAIN UNSETTLED, CLOSING STEADY
Little Trade Buying or Cover ing on Declines and Net Gain of 3 to17 Points
 Was Registered
By Annoclatnd Press

New York, January 12.-The cotton market was unsettled again today. Advances met increased offerings but the selling was not as active as earlier in the week, while there ap- peared to be a little more trade buy ing or covering on declines. and the close was steady at a net advance of to r points. After selling at 17.9sc early, March contracts reacted to 17.7Sc. later advancing to 1S.02c and closing at 17.S8c, compared with f7.S2c at the close of the previous day.
 The market opened steady at an advance of to 13 points and the more active positions sold about 10 to 16 points net higher right after the call on relatively steady Liverpool cables, better Manchester sdvices, and talk of firmer technical position. As March approached the 1Sc level, offerings increased with the south a moderate seller and prices broke late in the morning with January selling off from 1S.05c to 17SSc, or about points net lower.
 The market then steadied on re- ports of a better tone in the stock market and while there was another little furry of early afternoon selling on the reported resignation of the French cabinet, prices soon firmed UT again on reports of a firmer spot basis in the southwest. January ad- vaneed to 1S.t0c and May to 17.65c, making net advances of about IS to % points on the general list. The announcement that the governor of Texas has created aon-cotton pro- duein.g zones in parts of Ellis. Gray son. Collin and Liberty counties In the fight against the pink boil worm has been very generally anticipated but probably accounted for the rela lively firm ruling of October. Pri vate returns indicating domestic con sumption of 474.000 bales for Decem- Der compared with the low record of 294,000 last year was considered more bullish than otherwise. although 1t showed some falling off from the No Hember figures. There was New Or leans selling on the closing reac- tions of 10 or 15 points when the market was sensitive to comparative ly small orders and general business was quiet.

NEW YORK COTTON By Associated Press
NEW ORLEANS COTTON
 Ry Asaociated Prn.


 New Orleans, January 12.-Higher from the opening today. the cotton market had complete change of complexion from what it has been wearing of late. Shorts furnished a good part of the demand. covering to secure their profits; this was par ticularly the case in the morning ses- sion. In the afternoon fresh long buying became factor, and on 1t the market reached it's highest levels, showing advances of 27 to 33 points on the old crop months. October, at it's best, traded 20 points up, not showing the strength that the nearer months had. March went to 1709c and October to 15.s5c. On the close the list was at net gains on the day of 10 to 15 points, with March at i6.sfc and October at 15.7Sc.
 better Liverpool than expected helped the market on the opening, and the buying was continued on re- ports from Texas that the governor of that state had issued a proclama- tion prohibiting the planting of cot ton in additional areas in the coun- ties where the pink boil worm had been discovered. Toward the middle of morning there were recessions of 10 to 15 points, but the market came back again at midday on pre- dictions of bullish week and sta tistics.
 In the late trading reports of the resignation of the French cabinet were regarded as a favorable devel- opment, and bullish traders com menced to take hold again on the idea that the resignation would clear the European situation.

IRON AND STEEL REVIEW

Cleveland, January 1.-The Iron Trade Review says: The first busi- ness week of 1922 has produced some tangible support of the belief that revival of heavier buying of iron and steel has been waiting upon year-end settlements.
 Some important tonnages have been included in tho weeks turnover, with resumption of industrial operations generally and buyers are showing more disposition to open negotiations. The best that the industry expects is slow expansion. Steel plants have begun the year on about . 40 per cent basis, but 1t is confidentially pre- dicted this will be enlarged soon.
 The fall in steel ingot production in December was in line with expecta- 1ions. Ingot production for the cal endar year of 1921 is shown unof- ficially to have been approximately 10000. 900 tons, which represents about A6 per cent of the peak year of 1917.
 With resumption of automobile pro- duction on practically 50 per cent basis considerable buying of iron and steel Is expected to originate soon from this source. Ford Motor com pany has placed one order for 12.0O0 tons of sheets with Independent mills. January production of this builder calls for 50.00o cars. General Motors company schedule for this month is made up of 5000 Chevrolet, 6,300 Buick, 1,500 Cadillac, 800 Oakland and 800 Oldsmobile.
 The Dodge plant will build 450 Maxwell, 150 daily, and Hupmobile so ears daily. Studebaker plans to turn out $500 at South Bend, and 4,500 at Detroit this month
 Railroad buying is reviving. Car awards this week total $500. Rail orders for 1922 on mill books total 100000 tons. About 500,000 tons ad : ditional will be closed shortly A welcome break in many blank months in this field is the award of some new vessel construction on the lakes.
 One new bulk freighter has been definitely placed, smaller craft closed and a third large carrier is on the verge of being definitely placed.
 The Iron Trade Reviews composite market average of 14 iron and steel products is a shade lower this week again owing to softness in pig iron. Composite is s33.54 compared with s3s64 the week previously. $33.99 in December and $27.e6 in January, 1913 The pig iron market is starting off with more activity in spots and a bet ter outlook. Buying by leading pipe works in the south the past week has called for probably 25,000 tons. Some of the low grade iron went at sl5.50 Birmingham, and lower price of SIG for No. also was developed on this and other offers of sellers. American Radiator company was further buyer of $500 to 1000 tons.

Ouer PriUate Wires
SHANNON < CO.'S LETTER

New York, January 2.-(Special) With less pressure to sell and more encouragement from Liverpool and reports of firmer basis in Texas prices were steadier today, though there was cotton for sale whenever March worked up to IS cents or about that. Manchester adyicea said that East Indian markets were improving and A better business was looked for from the far east after the Chinese new year observancea which would occur February I. The official decla- ration of non-producing zones in some of the best countiesdn Texas seemed to bring home the necessity for dras- tic measures to eradicate the pink boil worm, the worst of all cotton pests. One rally does not make an advance and fresh disquietlng rumors will no doubt make their appearance from time to time and Jar the nerves of the market. but these will, we believe, gradually steady and communicate stronger degree of confidence to the brain of the body economies. Con servatlve action on the constructive side in weak markets still looks the best.--Post & Flagg.

STOCK EXCHANGE BUSINESS LACKS
 UNUSUAL FEATURE
Stocks Firm at Opening, ReactionaTy Later and
 Irregular at Close Ia of Session
By Associated Press

New York, January 12.-Business on the stock exchange today was moderate in volume and lacking note worthy features. The recent invest ment demand for government bonds and other high grade securities seemed to have temporarily run it's course.
 Stocks were firm at the opening, reactionary during the intermediate period and irregular later, when or ferings of oil. tobaccos, Interna tional paper and specialtiex. including Co 1umbia Graphophone common and preferred at low records invited fresh short selling.
 Rails, especially coalers, were the only stocks to manifest a degree of firmness or immunity from profes- sional pressure. Extreme gains of l to points in that group were re- duced at the close.
 Failure of tho local federal reserve bank to order further reductions of rediscount and interest rates was without more than passing influence on money rates. Call loans again held at sh per cent, and many new time loans at 4h to A per cent were reported.
 The resignation of the French cabinet. in which the question of German separations evidently fig nred. occasloned some activity in re- mittances to Paris. Foreign ex- changes aA a whole, however, showed little unsettlement reactions in French, Belgian and German quota lions being neutralized by strength of Dutch. Swiss and Scandinavian bills.
 An unusually large gain of reserve Liabilities was the chief item of in terest in the Bank of England's s statement. The report of the State bank of Germany showed no change in it's gold holdings and note circu- Jation. but credits and deposits were substantially lower.
 Liberty bonds eased on realizing for profit, but closed at trifling gains and losses. Victory 3s4s at J00.26 and the 4%s at 100.3o. made new high records for A long period. Alany of the old-time railway bonds were in demand. but foreign issues were irregular on latest develop ,nents In the French political situa- tion.
