Governor Gets Cup C

President and members of the S1st
Legislature: AS the proceedings of
this Legislature are drawing to a
close, it seems most fitting that we
should remember by little token
the pleasing friendships we have
formed with our chief executive.
throughout the turmoils of the
session he has always been ready
to aid each and all Of us in doing
our best for the State of Maine.
Though his cares have been many,
his kindly assistance has made the
last three months a pleasure, and
we can all beautifully say that out
association with him has created
only respect and esteem.
Though We may have differed

WHEAT LOWER IN ALL GRAIN PITS

CHICAGO, Dec. 20.-Inereased of. ferings of wheat, December delivery in particular, weighed down prices here today in all the grain pits.' Wheat closed unsettled, F to 1 1-Sc net lower, May S1O8 1-S@1-4, and July $1O6 to $1O6 IA. Corn finished 1-4c to 1-2c down, oats 1-S@3-5c off and provisions varying from un- changed figures to 17c decline.
 Northwestern interests were gem orally believed to have led the sell ing in wheat especially in the last part of the day. The fact that de- liveries on December contracts were somewhat larger than heretofore, had the further effect of bringing about numerous orders to let go of small holdings in that month, and thus to make December relatively weak. On the other hand, May and July wheat received a little better support and consequently showed less decline. Nevertheless, demand taken as d whole was light and all months closed at virtually the bottom fig ures of the day.
 Favorable weather for the harvest in Argentina attracted little mo- tice on the bear side in the wheat market and so likewise did weakness of foreign exchange. Gossip was current, too, that Russia was in po- siticn to sell three times as much grain as contracts had been made for. Another handicap to bulls was re- port which was circulated that Ger many would decline to pay a pre- mium for grain from the United States regardless of any loan or ex- tension of credit.
 Downturns in the value of corn and oats were more or less the result of sympathy with wheat weakness. A decrease in the volume of corn re- cepits here failed to act as an offset.
 Provisions tended downward owing to a setback in hog values.

COTTON QUIET BUT AVERAGES STEADY

NEW YORK, Dec. 2o-The cotton market was quiet but generally steady today owing to continued re- ports of a good spot demand in the south and covering by near month shorts. December was relatively firm increasing it's premium over January to fully 100, points and closing at net advance of 30 points.
 After selling up from 34,23c to 34.SOc. January closed at 34.55c with the general market closing steady net 30 points higher to 12 points lower. october was 12 points lower with the present crop deliveries showing net advances of to 50 points.
 The market opened firm at de- cline of points on october but gem erally 10 to 2S points higher on relatively steady Liverpool cables and bullish spot advices from the south. The census report showing 9,54S,S05 bales ginned to December 13, was a little above figures re- gently discussed and may have led to a little selling right after the call On the whole, however, the figures were not regarded as Justl- flying any change of importance in ideas of the crop ana dIter SellluS g to 5 points net lower, the market firmed up on covering and Wall street buying. There were addition al December notices representing about 5000 bales but the cotton ap- peared to be wanted and spot houses were buyers of December in some instances against sales of later months. The strength of the near position had a sympathetic effect on later deliveries as intended to con- firm the private reports of a firm spot situation in the south and Wall street buying of cotton was believed to be encouraged by a feeling of optimism as to general business prospects for the new year. Decem- Der sold up to 35.72c, March to S5.23c and May to 35.40c, making net ad- vances of about 40 to 50 points on the active positions during the early afternoon. These prices attracted some realizing and the close showed reactions of about r to 35 points from the best. Private cables re- ported a very quiet market for fu- lures in Liverpool, but said there was a moderate trade demand. Ex- ports today 1S,5s3, making 3,070,16S so far this season.

NEW YORK COTTON FUTURES
NEW ORIEANS COTTON

NEW ORLEANS. Dec. 20.-No positive trend was developed by cotton. although the market during the greater part of the session stood at small to moderate net advances as the result of the bulllsh which finally was placed on the ginning figures and further accounts of a strengthening spot situation. Last sales were l to Is points net higher on the day and the final transaction in January contracts was at S4.71c pound.
 On the opening call the strongest months were 2 to points up, in sym pathy with favorable Liverpool Inn mediately after the call the market fell off because the ginning to December 13 of 9,54Ss05 bales was larger than gener- ally expected. The decline continued un- til 1t amounted to 26 to 31 points and January was off to 3429. At this level short coverings became a factor and new buying entered the market because of the poor showing of Texas in the ginning returns, that state turning out only 79.S76 bales during the last period against 20S,262 during the preceding pe- riod while the total for the state was put at 3,999.334. Most traders looked for ginning of well above 4,000,OO0 bales for Texas.
 For awhile the market was strong and late in the morning it was at it's best. 3l to 42 points over the last sales of yesterday and at 34.97c for January. Dur ing the second half of the session re cent buyers sold to realize profits and the market sagged under the offerings.

 The calling of railroad strike in cer- tain sections of Cuba promoted a furry of covering at the opening of the raw sugar futures market and first prices were to points higher. The advance at tracted considerable liquidation, however, and part of the upturn was lost, so that final prices were only 1 to points net higher. January closed 5.3Sc; March, 4.69c; May. 4.74c; July, 4.S1c.
 only light demand for refined sugar prevails. and while list prices were un- changed at S.S0@S.90c for fine granulated. practically all refiners were accepting or ders at the inside figure.

HEATHER ISSUES
 IN STRONG GROUP

NEW YORK, Dec. 20--Stock prices started upward again today with
 business on 8 reduced scale, due to
 the approaching holidays. Specula-
 tive confidence in the long side was
 restored by the decision of the House ways and means committee to
 take early action on the administra- sstiye features of the Mellon tax pro gram, and by reports of special dtYi- uend distributions by several com Aanies before the end of the year.
 ~ The demand for stocks covered
 broad list with the leather issues
 giving one of the best demonstra-
 tions of group strength. May De- partment Stores and Computing,
 Tabulating, Recording, which estab-
 lished new high records for the year
 and closed at net gains of IA and
 21s points respectively, were the in
 dividual features.
 < Good buying was noted through
 out the day in the sugars, oils and
 tobaccos. Oils were helped by the report of the American Petroleum institute which showed further
 daily reduction of 62,S50 barrels in crude oil output for the week ending December 15. Production is still ex ceeding consumption, however, stock
 of domestic crude east of the Rocky mountains having increased 5,464,000
 barrels in November.

 < L Dealers in odd lots report a sub stantial increase in business in the last two weeks which is generally I construed as an indication of in- creasing public participation. < Some of the active industrials to X close at net gains of or more joints were Central Leather common and preferred Atlantic Gulf and 4 West Indies, Schulte Stores, Ameri- can Hide and Leather preferred, AS sociated Dry Goods, Endicott- John

 small.
 s.Continued strength of the Erie is-
 sues was the feature of the railroad list, Erie common crossing 22 ana
 tben dropping back to 219s where IL was up & on the day. 500 pre- afsrred recovered 10 points of it's 15 7p6int drop yesterday, and Katy 'advanced 8 points.
