NEW COLD WAVE
HELP TO WHEAT
Except for Few Reactions
Course of Market Is
Mostly Upgrade

CHICAGO, Dec. 1S.--Renewal Of
crop damage fears az a result of the
cold wave led to soaring OF prices
in the wheat market today. Closing
quota ions were unsettled, 7-Sc to
3 3-Sc net higher with May Sl.25 5
to s1,25 IA and July $116 Is TO
Sll6 IA, Corn gained 1-4c TO
&c. oats as 10 "a and 7-Sc, and
provisions 10 to 3bc.
Except for transient reactions due
TO profit taking the course OF the
wheat market was upgrade. High
price records for the season were
again eXcelled.
A decrease OF more than six mill
lion bushels In the amount OF wheat
on ocean passage was given a bull
ish construction in some quarters, the
inference being drawn that foreign
buyers would need to increase their
purchasing I'm the near future.
Corn and oats. as well as wheat,
touched new high top prices for the
season, Notwithstanding that arriv-
ais Of corn here were the largest in
many weeks.
Provisions derived their strength
chiefly from the upward swing in
hogs and graine.

WORLD MARKET PAGE
Cotton

NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 1s.---A bet
ter opinion of the foreign outlook
was one OF the main factors in the
cotton market today and 1t made tor
higher prices. The market stood at
net advances throughout the day,
showing gains OF 81 to 81 points in
the late trading, and closing 81 to
4S points net higher on the session
January closed at 2b.70c after hay
ing traded as high as 25.Slc.
much better Liverpool market
than expected helped bring about u
higher opening, but the main influ-
ence in the early session seemed to
be talk Of huge foreign loan. After
first advances OF ~ to 90 points,
there were recessions under reahZ-
Ing, but after each sag of 10 points
or so, recoyeries would ensuc back
TO within n few points OF the high
est. This sort of price change took
up the greater part OF the session.
In the early afternoon the market
felt the effect of n story over prl-
vate wires that Russia would de-
post sufficient gold with banks in
this country to buy 10000 bales of
cotton and on top OF this was the
large export movement for the
day--4S,755 bales, bringing the total
thus far this season up to 2,590,3Q7.
