NEM ORLEANS COTTON

NEW ORLEANS, Dec. s.-The cotton market was fairly active today mainly on the position of the government s final estimate of the crop, which it placed at 13,153,000 bales of 500 pounds grossweight and the census bureaus s report on total ginnings to December 1, placed at 12,225,025 running bales The immediate effect of the crop estimate, which was somewhat smaller than ex- pected, was to advance prices 7S to 79 points above Saturdays closing levels, but good part of the gain was lost later on the theory that the larger gin- nings than expected warranted expecta- tions of crop somewhat larger than the governments estimate.
 At the start the market was steady notwithstanding a lower Liverpool. Prices gradually improved on reports that all the Fall River mills had resumed full time today. The market eased off some near the end of the first hour and at the time the market suspended trad ing before the issue of the government report, January stood at 23.38c and March at 23.44c. Soon after trading was resumed prices advanced 78 to 79 points above the previous close, but gradually eased off, particularly in the late trad ing. A good part of the earlier gain was lost and the close showed net gains for the day of only 26 to 2s points. The weather map showed quite general rains in the central and eastern portions of the belt but little rai1p in the west. A sharp cold wave Is reported following the rains.
 Exports for the day totalled 24.s12 bales.

COTTON JUMPS
 AFTER REPORT Most Of Advance Lost Later Under South
 ern Selling

NEW YORK, Dec. -S.-Publication to- day of the governments final crop es- innate of the season was followed by a sharp advance in the cotton market but good part of 1t was lost during the afternoon under southern selling and realizing or liquidation. January con- tracts, which had sold up to 23.9Oc immediately after the report, or 96 points net higher. closed at 23.2oc, the general market closing steady at net ad- vances of q to 27 points.
 Trading was comparatively quiet be- fore the government report was issued, but prices held fairly steady on re- ports of increasing activity in Fall River cotton mills and pre-report cov- ering. The opening was unchanged to points higher and active positions sold about to il points higher before the report was Issued.
 When the market closed to receive the official crop figures, December was selling around 22.S6c and March 23.41c. First sales after the report showed sharp advances. December sold at 23.60c and March at 24.10c, net gains of about 56 to 96 points on the general list, but at these figures the market met increased southern offerings. Trading was quieter during the afternoon, prices easing off under a comparatively small volume of selling. Pressure became a little more active toward the close, on denials of the reported resumption of full time op- erations in Fall River mills. Last prices were about 30 to 70 points off from the best.
 The government crop estimate of 13,- 153, ,0OO bales was about 100000 below the average of recent private estimates, which evidently led to covering by re- cent sellers or some fresh buying. but the census figures showing 12,225,O25 bales ginned to December 1 were about in line with expectations and were re- garded by some traders as pointing to a crop possibility somewhat in excess of the estimate.
 Exports today were 24,312 bales, mak- ing 3,4S9,299 so far this season. Port receipts 46,2ss. United States port, stocks, 1,520,297.

PROVISIONS SOAR AS GRAINS JUMP
Corn And Wheat Reach New Peak In All
 Months Traded

CHICAGO, Dec. S.-Smashing of high price records for the season took place today in grain and provisions as well.
 with corn and wheat reaching new 1 peak on all the months that were traded 1 in. Reports of severe crop damage to corn in Argentine led to big general wave of speculative buying. Corn May S1.26A. Wheat finished firm, 1h to i7A net higher May, $1.54@1.64b and July S1447s d1.45, with oats IS to -Bc up and provisions varying from 7c de- cline to 200 gain.
 According to advices which were wide ly circulated ,the corn crop in Argen- tina may yet produce half normal yield, provided heavy rains come within the next two weeks. Otherwise the dam age by drought, frost and locusts will be incalculable. With such reports cur rent and with a sharp advance in Liv- erpool quotations for the January de- livery of corn, a rush to the buying side of the corn market here began right at the opening. Reactions were of only a minor transient sort, and the close was at virtually the days top figures.
 Stormy weather over the domestic corn belt did more or less to contrib ute to the urgency of buying. The coun- try was reported as offering practically no corn to arrive here, ana with snow and cold expected to spread, the move ment of grain appeared likely to fall off and the feeding demand enlarged. These conditions directly affected oats, too, and the commission house demand for oats was much more brisk than has recently been the rule.
 Despite heavy profit taking sales the wheat market closed at only l. ,derate setback from the days maximum ad- vance. Argentine wheat crop reports were decidedly bullish though less so than corn. Besides the United States visible supply of wheat showed a de- crease and the amount of wheat on ocean passage was greatly reduced.
 Investment buying of lard was fea- ture in the provision market.

NEW YORK. Dec s.-Trading in cot ton seed oil was active today, the turn over aggregating 53, 800 barrels. Gains of IS to A points took place in general buying, inspired by the advance in lard and grains and the bullish interpreta- tion of the government cotton report. Realizing sales brought about reac- tion late in the session. Closing net gains were 8 to F points.

CURR ExCHANCE

NEW YORK, Dec. s.-Oil shares de- veloped a reactionary tone in today's curb market but the rest of the list held relatively firm in the face of profes- sional selling.
 Net losses of about point each were recorded by Standard Oil of Indiana, Prairie Oil and Gas and Galena Signal and other active issues showing only nominal changes.
 Lehigh Valley Coal certificates, the most active feature of the industrial list, showed a small recession at the close, Moderate strength developed, however. in the continental banking is- sues, and the radio shares, Thermio- dyne touching another new top at 157s as against the recent offering price of 12. good demand also developed for the public utilities, American Power and Light advancing 234 points, Common wealth Power 2, and a number of others improving fractionally.

|BOND TRADING
 IS REACTIONARY'
Market Is Forced To Alb. sorb Heavy Volume Of
 Realizing .'

NEW YORK, Dec. 8.-Reactionary tendencies predominated in today's bond market, which was forced to absorb e heavy volume of realizing sales. Serni- speculative rail issues, which had been the strongest features of recent trading ing, dealings in other sections of the list were marked by considerable ir- regularity. Interest in investment circles turned from trading to reports of new financ- ing. Bankers admitted that consider eration was being given to two Belgian loans, one of about $250, 0,000 000 for con- struction of Congo railways and another of about $5o,00o,0O0 for consolidation of the Belgian floating debt.

 Realizing sales brought about reces- sions in a number of active railroad lines, including Frisco income 6s, Peoria and Eastern income 4s, Norfolk and Southern refunding 5s and Norfolk and Western consolidated As.

STOCK LETTERS

NEW YORK, Dec. s.-After a very active first hour the market encountered heavy sales from profit taking and pro- fessional short selling sources. How ever 1t was quite noticeable that heavy buying orders were in the niarkret at fractional recessions and offerings be- came very scarce on the decline which lasted well after midday.
 During the early afternoon construc- tive commitments on the upward side re- sulting in new interests being displayed in many different groups. Volume of sales became very heavy and substan- tial price expectations were scored by many different issues. Total sales amounted to 1,62O,OO0.-Fenner & Beane to Kahn & Virgin,
 NEW YORK, Dec s.-The stock market Monday was dull and reaction ary up until the last hour, at which time only 1720,000 shares had been traded in. From to o'clock however, the market became very bullish and at the close a total of l 1,620 100 shares had been reached. There can be no ques- tion that today was the inning for the motor shares fair example of the activity In this class of stock was Mack Truck, which opened at 1101s, dropped to 109h, and then rebounding to a high of 113. Maxwell Motors made new highs at 3la B for the "B" stock and 7S1a for the "A" stock. Studebaker, Hupp, Hud- son and Pierce-Arrow were the other motors that behaved extremely well.
 The market showed a tendency to turn toward the industrials but the rail group especially the better ones, were very active and would not allow them selves to be sdetracked.
 In view of the close today we are led to believe that the market will be ac- tive Tuesday with a good underlying tone.-Steiner, Rouse X Stroock.

DRY GOOnS

NEW YORK, Dec. s.-Cotton goods markets were firmer with a moderate amount of business being done in fin ished and unfinished lines. Raw silk was slightly higher on reports of larger buying in the primary markets. Spring hosiery business expanded and heavy weight knit goods were ordered more freely. Upward revisions of values in wool goods are constantly being forced by the rise in raw wool. Burlaps were easier here and abroad.
