WHEAT RECEIVES.
SETBACK In PRICE
ON BEARISH VIEWS

CHICAGO. Dec. 29.-Wheat under
went a material setback in price to-
day largely as result of the radical
bearish views which a leading trader
here expressed relative to conditions
affecting the market. Values at the
close We're unsettled, with May,
s1.22A to s1.22ss and July, s1.12A to
$112%. Corn finished unchanged 10
lie higher: oats down n c. to ascQ Ac,
and provisions off SC to 22c.
Heavy selling associated with pro-
nounced bearish opinions put the
from the outset. Mostyof the selling
cago holders, and il was estimated
that 100000 bushels of wheat had
been iiquidated in the last three
days. 1t was only after prices had
shown decline of SC a bushel as COM
pared with yesterdays top figures
that buyers became sufficiently nu-
merous to give the market two
sided appearance.
According to the bear statement
which received so much attention, the
United States has at present o.
600, 600 bushels more wheat available
than was the case a year ago In
addition the worlds visible supply is
40. 900 900 bushels larger than the
average of the last 20 years.
Corn was firmer as a result OF
lessened receipts here and of activity
on part of exporters. oats wers
depressed by selling ascribed to ele-
vators.
Provisions went lower with hogs.

Favorable Tenor to
Commercial Reports
Nv Associated Prose-

NEW YORK. Dec. 2s.-Dun's tomor-
row will say:
With hardly an exception, commercial
reports are of an increasingly favorable
tenor and business will enter upon the
new year In strong position. Annual
reviews stress the substantial recovery
from previous depression. that has oc-
Cured in most markets. and the results
OF 1922. in various respects, were better
than had been generally anticipated.
Despite the contraction in export trade,
the point has been reached in different
basic industries where production Is at
high level. while orders already booked
insure active operations for sometime
ahead. Even at this holiday season, which
additionally is quiet period. new de-
mand has been of sizable dimension in
certain important instances and shut
downs at mills and factories have been
of much shorter duration than usual. Ex-
listing conditions in iron and steel afford
convincing evidence OF the decisive char
acter of the business revival and more fire.
quent reports are heard of shortage of
workers in that quarter and in some other
branches of manufacture. With the fuller
employment of available labor, the public
purchasing capacity naturally has been
appreciably augmented and this phase
found reflection in the heavy Christmas
turnover. Weekly bank clearings, 1885,
$4,000.

MAIN FEATURE I'M
COTTON TRADING
BY Associated Press

NEW YORK, Dec 29-It was
the quietest day of the week in the
cotton market Trading appeared TO
be largely evening up commitments
for over the three day adjournment
and fluctuations showed correspond
ing irregularity. After selling at
26.75 cents at the start, March eased
off to 1856 cents, or even with the
low point touched on the reaction
of yesterday, but later recovered-and
closed at 1856 cents. The general
market closed steady l to points
net lower.
The market opened steady, to II
points higher in response to relative
ly steady Liverpool cables, bullish
overnight advices from the spot mar
lSets and reports of continued firm
ness in the market for cotton goods.
There was some nervousness over
foreign political affairs, however, and
prices soon turned easier under scat
tering liquidation. Some southern and
New Orleans selling also was re-
ported on the decline, which carried
January off to 1888 cents and May
to 1858 cents. or II to Is points net
lower.
Offerings Small
Offerings became smaller and the
market turned StedultI Oil itPOi -
that trade interests were buying on
scale down and that some of the
larger Wall street or commits sion
house interests were picking up con-
racts. This led to covering, and
there was enough buying to give the
market a steady undertone, although
rallies were not fully maintained.
Exports for the week fell below
expectations based on the compare
lively large amount of cotton remain
ing on ship board just before the
Christmas holidays, but in other re-
spects the week end figures attracted
hcllish comment.
Spinner's taking for the week, ac-
cording to the New York Cotton
Exchange, were $4,000 bales in ex-
cess of taisings for the same week
last year. Port receipts today were
16.432 bales United States port
