Cold Weather Brings Aduance in Butter

CHICAGO, Feb. 1O.-This weeks cold weather, causing a general and rapid de- cline in the mercury on it's arrival. had the opposite effect the butter market, dissipating the weakness of the previous seven days and aiding prices to advance, the United States bureau of agriculture economies said today.
 In striking contrast to the previous week. the butter market this week was firm and active, and prices advanced nearly as rapidly they declined the week before.
 Just as the prices had declined to a level where operators were not disposed to make further sacrifices. reports were broadcast of approaching cold wave. The first day this week saw slight ad- vance with others following on the second day. while the market rapidly gained strength as the cold wave gradually spread the country.
 The close of markets yesterday found prices about on the same level with those that existed two weeks ago. before last weeks sharp decline.
 Yesterdays prices on 92 stock but ter at the close of the four leading but ter markets were reported as follows;
 Chicago 49c, Pc gain New York 49 lsc, Pc gain; Boston 4915c, lac gain; Phila- delphia soc. 21ac gain.

Crude Oil Higher

TULSA. Okla, Feb. 10.-Failure of pro- duction to keep pace with demand caused by lack of further development of pro ducing territory and reported salt water in Mexican wells, was said by oil men here today to have been responsible for the 1O- cent increase in the price of Mid -Conti- mental crude oil announced by the Prarie oil and Gas company.
 The advancing market. according to these sources is expected to bring out of storage some of the vast quantities of crude petroleum now held in virtually all fields. Millions of barrels of oil are said to have been kept in storage in the Mid-continent, Louisiana, Arkansas, Wy oming. Texas and other fields until bet ter prices prevail.
 While the present demand is said to be greater than the supply 1t is claimed d that if sales were equal to production and storage was cuTtaiied there would be an abundance of oil for all demands
 FORT WORTH, Tex. Feb. 1o.-Guif production offices today raised crude oil prices in this territory to s2. 50 per bar rel meeting the advance of 10 cents made earlier in the day by the Prairie.

DOREMUS DANIEL & CO.'S LETTER
 The stock market Saturday continued to reflect the optimistic influence to which we have been directing attention. There is doubt that domestic business is con- 'stantly improving, and that foreign troubles are exerting waning influence as market factors. While some good judges of the market advise profit-taking on this bulge, unable to any present sign of weakness in the market whole.
 The cotton market Saturday was quiet and dull, quite in contrast to the activity displayed in stocks and grains. Liverpool cabled early that the political situation in Europe some better. Much attention was also attracted by the statement of the department of commerce placing the worlds production of cotton at about 16,- 900 and showing a decrease of S.000,- 900 bales in the worlds supply in the two years past. As there Is no doubt of a large short interest in the market, prices should have responded to the foregoing bullish influences, and the fact that fluc- nations were instead narrow and without definite trend may indicate the need of entirely new bullish incentive.-Dore- mus Daniel & Co.

Corn Demand Less

WASHINGTON. Feb 1o-Germany, which took more than 30,000.o00 bushels of American corn last year. will not require so large a quantity this year, the Amer
 can agricultural representative in Berlin reports. American corn was used largely for the manufacture of alcohol after Ger man food regulations limited the use of potatoes for that purpose to 20 per cent of the alcohol production. The limit now has been raised to so per cent. and with the 1923 alcohol output estimated at 53.- 900 900 gallons the distilleries will require only about 5000, 900 bushels of corn.
