Oranu Outanu.

The huge apes (anthropoid) known
as orang outangs are incorrectly
named, probably owing to the difficulty
du Chaillu, their discoverer, eXpe-
rlcnced in pronouncng Malay. Orang
means n man, and outang a debt so
that orang outang means man In
debt. But the Malay word outan
means forest, so that Orang outan,
means man Of the forest, in distinc-
tlon TO orang dusun, man Of the vii
lage, civilized man.

NEW HIGH MARK IS EXPORT BUSINESS REACHED IN LIST GIVES AN UPWARD M COTTON TRADE TILT IN GRAIN PIT
By Associated Press

CHICAGO, Dec. 26.-Prospects of improved export business tended to- day to give an upward tilt to values in the wheat market, Closing quo tations were firm and unchanged from Saturdays finish to 11ac high CT with May $1.25A @1.25as and July s1.141a @114ss. Corn finished un- changed to lac advance; oats at hQ Ac decline to hc gain. and pro- visions showed a rise varying from 7c to 20e
 Highest prices in wheat came after word was received that according to Secretary Hoover, an outflow of gold from the United States was helping to restore the buying power of coun- tries to which the gold travelled. Ear Her there were intimations also that a good export business might be looked for tomorrow when European markets resume activity. Estimates that 500000 bushels had been bought today for transatlantic shipment were likewise a bullish influence.
 Announcement that the United States visible supply of wheat showed dh lHtieesSo VI oiiiy oN"'NV" 'NNAAo for the week counted somewhat as & handicap to bears. Primary receipts over the Christmas holidays were about the largest ever known, espe- cially in the southwest.
 Although big arrivals of corn here had depressing effect at first on prices for corn and oats, rally took place later.
 Provisions were strengthened by an early upturn in the hog market and by liberal export clearances of lard.

NEW YORK COTTON FUTURES NEW YORK, Dec. 26.--The cotton mar
Nlrtu nnIEANs C0TTON

NEW ORLEANS. Dec. 26.--An exceed lingly strong market developed in cotton today and all months in the contract de pa rtfnent were carried to new high levels for the season. January trading as high as 26.43c and March high as 26.49c q pound. A marked scarcity of contracts was a feature of the session. The demand was persistent and steadily maintained, the result being an unusually active mar ket for the last week In the year. Ou the close the old crops were 52 to bf points up with January at 26.40c October closed at 24.44c. net advance or S4 points.
 The main reason for the advance was the accumlating evidence of large buSl- ness doing among American mills and TO- ports over the holidays that some mills were finding 1t difficult to secure enough help to keep up with their orders Pre- dictions from several quarters of fur ther improvement in txetiles as well as In general trade helped to keep the market advancing during the day. There were no reactions of any consequence. Early gains amounted to about 25 points and after that the advance gradually was widened- The market reached its highest following reports from the eastern belt that south : ern mills were large buyers of spot cotton and that they were doing 8 biz business in manufactured products
 The reason generally given for the scarcity of contracts was that many larger longs who had profits were unwilling 70 sell out and realize because of income tax returns. Smaller longs let go moderately on the rising market and helped to give the ring the small supply of contracts 1t had to work on.

By Associated Presa

NEW YORK, Dec. 26-There was very sharp advance in the cotton market today. with prices making new high records for the season. May contracts sold up to 26.95 cents, tho highest price touched by any delivery so far and within five points of the 27-cent level. That month closed at 26.s7 cents, with the general market closing steady, 35 to 5S points net higher.
 Owing to the continuation of the holidays there were no Liverpool cables but the over holiday news from the domestic cotton goods mar kets and the south encouraged re- newal of the buying movement which had been in progress before Christmas. An opening advance or 4 to 16 points met considerable reat- izing which was absorbed on re- actions of few points whlch con tracts evidently became scarce There seemed to be no one speclai feature to account for the strength but there was some broadening or trade and commission house demand, which sent prices rapidly upward. Occasional spurts of realizing oc- cured but they made comparatively little impression with the advance continuing until January sold at 26.bs cents and March at 26.SS cents, with active months generally showing net gains of 36 to 63 points.
 This buying movement was ac- companied by reports of an increased demand for spot cotton in the south and there was buying here for south ern account. which was supposed to represent the undoing of hedges against sales of spots in the south Atlantic markets. Realizing became & little more active as prices ap- preached the 27-cent level, however, and the close was some to points off from the best.
 Favorable reports from the domes- tic cotton goods trade doubtless con tributed to the advance which was regarded by some traders as a re- , flection of confidence in general expansion of both domestic and ex- port demand early in the new year. Exports on Saturday and Monday were 33,904- bales. but no clearances were reported today. Exports so far this season have amounted to 2,7O5,- 109 bales. Port receipts today were S,090.
