CHICAGO, Nov 24.--Wheat held within narrow limits. but averaged fractionally lower. Good support was evidenced around S1.Os for May and local element were less disposed to operate freely the bear side. There was free selling of July by several houses with northwestern eonnec tions sentiment generally inclining to a lower range. Foreign news bearish, with Broomhails agent estimating Australian exportabe surplus at 6O.O00,00o bushels, while some private estimates range upt to 80, 100000 compared with 4s,000,00O last year. Argentine reports optimistic. Local traders look for substantial increase in supply Monday. the total probably raised to over 75,000,o00, or more than double last year.
 Corn declined, with December leading the latter losing it's premium over the May. with considerable selling of Decem- Der and buying of May at the same price. Cash corn was to A lower, market showing rather heavy undertone. Sen timent is decidedly mixed wits many local operators on the bear side and-al many who are talking higher prices and buying on all dips. Investment buying on resting orders helped to sustain values. Country offerings light, but consignments fair. It seems that there was evidence of adequate support forthcoming on all dips and that the firm tone shown at close

NEW YORK; Nov. 24.-The cotton market had a rather nervous and ir- regular appearance today, which was attributed by local brokers to even ing up of commitments for over the weekend and the probable circula- tion of notices on Monday morning. At times December was relatively weak under scattering liqnuidation, but at the close showed premium of 52 points over January and mid morning declines were followed by partial recoveries. March contracts which sold as low as 34.2Sc on the break or 36 points net lower, closed at S4.97c, with the general market closing irregular at net declines of 10 to 21 points.
 The market opened barely steady at an advance of 10 points on Sep terr Der. but generally z to 16 points lower under overnight selling orders. These initial figures were soon ab- sorbed by trade buying or covering and prices stiffened up during the early trading, with December selling at 25,40c and May at 35.3Sc, or l to , points net higher. There was more December for sale at this figure, ac- companied by rumors that notices on Monday night might possibly amount to nearly 25,000 bales. and the mar ket weakened during the middle of the morning under liquidation. De- oember sold off to 35.00c and May to 35.01c, making net declines of about 30 to 3S points on the active posi- tions, but there was considerable un- certainty as to whether the expected notices would materialiZe in the volume talked of and the list stiff ened up in the late trading on cov- ering or re-buying by early sellers.
 The stock of inspected cotton in New York, including cotton still to be classed, amounts to a little over 24, 900 bales. Further shipments are expected here for delivery before the end of the month, but local traders regarded the action of De- cember yesterday as indicating a belief that the cotton will eventually bn taken up by the trade. Liverpool cables reported a decline from an opening advance under liquidation, but said there was a fair spot de mand at good prices. A better de- mand for cotton goods was reported in the local market late yesterday, but no improvement was noted in Fall River.

NEW. ORLEANS Nov 24.-As expected, the suspending of trade at Bombay was only local delivery extended until Decem- Der 1, by which time it is likely more of the new crop in India will be marketed since the new season is just about begin ming to open there.
 The trouble in Bombay. 1t seems, was more of dissatisfaction at the rebuying on maximum or minimum prices fixed rather than an actual corner, but since trading Is reported to have been resumed, 1t is evident that some sIyreement in this re- spect has been arrived at.
 December tenders to the extent of about 2.500 bales were made here today and 1t is reported that they were stopped by spot interests.
 Next Monday will be the first December notice day in New York. and while ten ders are nos likely to be very heavy. the first day they are likely to continue from time to time, as shorts have until near the end of December to tender.
 December cotton is at 2 tenderable basis now in New York, as noted by the pre- mium over southern spot values, ssps- cially in the South Atlantic states, anu if the premium Is maintained 1t may prove to be the magnet to attract more cotton, perhaps in quantity, for delivery on De- cember there
 It is possible. however. that If the mo- tlces stopped Monday in the northern market, which is likely. values may bulge. which would afford a favorable oppor- tuDity to realize long contracts.
 Southern traders, especially our friends have been highly successful in their op- erations thus far this season and should take advantage of the opportunity to liquidate while the market Is strong and prices very high for so early in the season.
 Of the worlds visible supply of foreign growths, which was 1,052,00 yesterday against i,316,0 900 last year, 900 bales were in stocks at Bombay against 373.000 one year ago, which hardly permits of a successful corner on the eve of the mar keting of a new crop in India.
 Liverpool cabled spot demand poor. Futures receded on bull liquidation and liquidation by London and continental in- terests, influenced by political disturb ances in Germany.
 Milan, Italy. cabled advance has stopped the demand.

NEWaTORK, Nov. 24.-Disappointment over Chesapeake and Ohio dividend was responsible for some professional selling at the opening, but it Is not believed that real holders parted with much stock, as it is realized that the earnings of $16 psr share cannot be overlooked at the next meeting, three months hence, and the con servative action of the directors Is looked upon with favor by careful investors. The stock yielded to 69%, but quickly reeov- cred to TO- where considerable stock was absorbed by interests who have been buy ing 1t for long time.

Although there was a light attendance both on the exchange floor and brokerage offices on account of the Army and Navy football game, 1t may be said that the market whole gave a good account of itself.-Fenner Beane.

 This work was accomplished in spite of the fact that the Children Aid society was taken over by the state only II months ago, with con siderable time inevitably lost in the change and reorganization.
 In speaking of the child caring work of the department, Mrs. Bush emphasized the determination to carry out policy of keeping families intact where practicable. Tt is easy to break up a family--to pauperize it and get rid of the family unit al together" Mrs. Bush stated. The ideal plan is to save the family and where it cannot be saved. to place the children in homes for adoption.

The oxygen, passing into the blowpipe from another tank and carried in the blowpipe in a sepa- rate tube so that it flows into the cutting jet, is regulated by valve under control of the operators thumb. The oxygen pressure, sum moned by his touch, varies from 10 to 25 pounds to the square inch for use in cutting material up to three fourths of an inch in thickness and from 95 to 175 pounds for cutting thickness of from eight to It inches.

Our market opened l5 to 20 points lower than Fridays close and was depressed Il points further on lower cables and weekend profit taking, futures ruling steady during the short ses- sion. with buying of the best sort noted on the small reaction. The finals were around the initial figures and IS to 20 points lower than the previous close.

The market here was very steady in the face of the unfavorable ca bes, but business was restricted by the fresh foreign crisis. The trade are in- clned to expect an easier market again in Europe on Monday, but they doubt the probability ef any serious trouble arising from this most recent German crisis The supply situation is so acute that the mar ket meets support on each decline. There was less demand from domestic trade to- day and rather more speculative realizing in quiet market.
