ADVANCES M X Rk JAY 0N STREET
Political Developments Re- garded As Indicating Con-
 servative Sentiment
Fly WALTER B. BROWN
 Editor New York Commercial Ueased Wire to The Age-HeraIdl

NEW YORK, Dec. 5.--Altogether, Wall street felt quite satisfied with the days developments, which were reflected in moderate advances all along the line. The house deadlock, having ended, the assumption was that tax reduction and other con- structive measures would be consid- cred on the theory that public opinion has become so well crystal lized that it cannot be ignored.
 It must be admitted that this is taking a great deal for granted for there is no telling what the po- litical future holds. Wall street also regarded the declaration of South Dakota for Coolidge as against lii ram Johnson as an indication of more conservative sentiment developing throughout the country.
 Except in one or two instances the stock market was an orderly affair, with an undercurrent of buoyancy that could not be concealed. Erie was one of the spectacular demon- strations. with turnover of more than 68,0o0 shares, sending the stock up from 2o1z to 22h and closing at 215s Once more there were ru- ing to buy control as an eastern out let for their Nickel Plate. This was denied by O. P. Van Sweringen in a dispatch from Cleveland.
 It Is true that negotiations were undertaken some months ago., but they were of 8 preliminary nature only and several objections were made and it seem inadvisable to pro- ceed further.
 One was indebtedness of the Erie; another was that Erie tracks parallel with the Nickel Plate in many sec tions between Buffalo and Chicago, while the few subsidiary feeders and the large commuter traffic out of New York which does not pay par tcularly we'll did not commend the road for the purpose required. Erie officials declare that the demand for the stock is based upon it's recov- cred earning capacity and sthe realization of the inherent value of the stock.
 Maxwell Motors dropped below A during the last hour, decline of some IF points from the high of week or two ago, when it was learned that the negotiations for It's purchase by the Studebaker inter ests were definitely at an end. A statement from James c. Brady of the Maxwell revealed that represen . tatives of the Studebakers had taken we'll and a tentative agreement had been reached, but 1t was turned down by the Studebaker directors and the whole thing ended there. Otherwise motor stocks were well absorbed during the day.
 Trade reports regarding the steel industry show some falling off Tn pig iron production, but there is every probability that steel prices will be maintained on their present basis well into next year..

NEW YORK. Dec. 5.-Through some CT TOT Liverpool quotations came over this morning apparently a pound out of line. Although the quotations were corrected before opening of the American markets, they very naturally left considerable un- settlement throughout the trade, which was reflected in lower market on our opening. ~
 The mill demand of yesterday was still present but in a reduced volume, that the market had rather easier undertone Business was on smaller scale and there is growing inclination to await the census ginning report of Saturday as furnishing some Indication of 8 probable estimate of the crop from the department of agricul- ture on December 12. There has been a reaction in the past few days from the extremely low crop estimates current last week and this has also tended to hold market in check. It is not possible foI the crop to increase in size, for the pro duction this year is already fixed. It Is possible however for the general opinion in the trade to be modified so that they anticipate a larger crop than has recently been the case We do not feel this factor is anything more than a mental attitude but 1t has considerable bearing upon i'm mediate future of the market. The crop said it undoubtedly is a disaster, but we do not see any immediate drastic decline in prices We do, however. 9expeet an ir- regular market, with wide fluctuations, pending these two government reports, after which it is probable the trade will take a fresh view of the entire situation.
 Liverpool futures are due tomorrow

NEW YORK, Dec. 5.-Officials Of Centrosoyus-A American, incorporated American representatives of the Russian consumers cooperative so- cieties, announced today that the Russian organization recently had placed several large orders for Amer ican agricultural implements.
 The difficulties encountered by American exporters in financing sales to Russia lends some strength to reports, current in Wall street for some time, that a group of American bankers in conjunction with British bankers, contemplate the formation of a Russian bank.

liquidation still in evidence, and helgsd along by local selling, while the trade continues to buy on a scale down. It is said that q considerable long interest was built up for foreign account, which is coming out now that advance rumors as to the ginning suggest that it will be larger than recently predicted and will be reflected in an official estimate not far from s1o.o00. 900. taking into account the various kinds of trash that will be included. Spot advices show continued good demand at a firm basis. and busi- ness limited chiefly by lack of offerings. Pressure from that source looks very i'm probable and this market is getting healthier every day as result of the liquidation and selling for further re- action in hope the rumors as to the gin ming will be borne out by the official fig ures.
 sound but technically it has been no toriously weak for some time and the main question has been what would start the liquidation and when. It does not appear that the price has discounted the shortage or is high enough yet to check consumption severely. but it will be best to wait for reactions to buy and until offerings have been more fully digested nothing more than a trading market looks proba ble.

Cotton Letters
KAHN BROS. AND VIRGIN

NEW YORK, Dec. 5.--The trade was stunned this morning by the reported collapse of the English market which was later corrected. The error is said to have occurred in the CND department here.
 Our market opened about 30 off and enjoyed d small rally, after which liquida- tion set in, together with selling by Liver pool
 There were many rumors purporting to be the figures of the National Ginners, they were without effect however, sen timent seems to expect figures around 5000, 900.
 Bulish sentiment has by no means died out with the great majority houses here claiming that the fundamental condition grows more bullish each day, and it is the favorite argument that the average person must have cotton goods and that sooner or later he must pay whatever price the manufacturers demand, but this is only assertion and does not accord with the manufacturers and merchants experi- ence in the market where testimony has been universal to the difficulty of passing on the manufactured articles to the trade on an adjusted basis of the present level for the raw material The market should offer splendid scalping opportunities prior to and after the ginning and government reports.

 NEW ORLEANS. La. Dec. 5.-For the third day in succession the cotton market acted like ship without a rudder, owing to anotheer crop of rumors regarding the next ginning report and erroneous Liver pool cables
 Early quotations from Liverpool showed decline of 100 penny points or s10 per bale These were fortunately corrected a few minutes before opening time to read only seven points lower. Telegraph company, who transmitted the quotations, explains the error as being due to failure to make a com plete check on code words by which the quotations were transmitted from Liverpool. Considerable buying developed during the day on the reported denial of private bureau which gathers statistics on glnnings that it had issued a report of any kind but people who are credited with getting these reports are said to lowed this buying. The market appears to be overbought and the proba bilities are that we will further liquidation be- fore the census report owing to talk of large ginning and Beane.
