SPECULATORS FOR RISE IN CONTROL

NEW YORK, Jan. 4.-Speculators for the advance succeeded in gain Ing control of today's curb market, but they were forced to contend with heavy realizing sales, which gave the market an irregular appearance most of the time.
 Prairie oil and Gas was the in- dividual feature of the oil group. It opened points higher at 25S, dropped to 253. and then scared to 282h for a net gain of 6h points. Ohio Oil closed 5h higher at 59. while Stand ard Oils of New York and Ohio, Washington oil and Buckeye Pipe moved up to 2 points. South Penn sylvania Oil broke 2.
 In the industrial list heavy specu- lative trading took place in Corn Products, which broke below 31 for the first time since it has been listed and Gold Dust, which sagged to S4h and then bounded up to 35%, rec- ord high. Other changes in that group were largely fractional.
 Walker Mining, which was heavy yesterday, recovered tits loss.

Market Is Unsettled
 During The Past Week

NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-The cotton mar
 ket has been unsettled during the past
 week. The trading feature, apparently. has been the liquidation of old long lines which had been carried over the holidays
 in both the local and Liverpooi markets. Selling in Liverpool ,has been attributed partly to nervousness over the unsettled British political situation. Part of the selling in the local market Is supposed
 to have been due to the unsettled ruling
 on contracts bought during the early au- tumn, on which profit taking was de-
 fsrred until after the turn of the & yesT
 reported, and after selling off from
 ss.43c. the high price of December 27
 to 34.37c for March contracts on Thurs
 day morning. the market turned steadier
 on a renewal of trade buying. This was said to include price fixing for domestic
 mills, while there were also reports of a better spot demand in the south. Rallies
 of approximately a cent a pound ron
 however and the market seemed rather
 unsettled toward the end of the week.
 Reports that private returns showed q
 ginning of 9760.00O bales up to January
 l. were most generally regarded as close
 ly in line with the governments crop estimate of 1o,os1.ooo bales: Calculations as to supplies of cotton available for dis . r ftribution during the balance of the sea
 son are being based upon this view of the crop but the reiteration of bullish sta
 tistical features have evidently failed U
 inspire much fresh buying. This is ex-
 plained by some of the local brokers on the ground that traders are now waiting
 for developments in the cotton goods sit . uatiOn or the southern spot markets for some idea as to the effect of 35c to 37c
 cotton consumption. According to re-
 ports reaching here from the local cot ton goods trade there were some fair
 buying orders in the market at the open | ing of the new year, but they~were with drawn owing to the decline in raw cot
 ton, and there has been continued talk of domestic mill curtailment. Fall river
 sales of print cloths for the week were
 estimated at 3o.00o to 10000 pieces, and 1 1t appears the bulk of the business | ported in goods has been at second hands. Further tenders have been made on January contracts, but have been no | special weight on the market.

IRON TRADE REVIEW

Demands in 1923 were shaped more in accordance with sound present requirements or logical fu- ture developments than by forces arising from the unbalanced and unsettled condi- tions of the postwar period. ~-- steel in 1923 was the largest the country has ever known.

This compares with the record of 4b,067.- 900 tons in 1917. Consumption of Lake January l to December 1 was the, great est ever known, totaling 57,757.ooo tons.

WHEAT IS LIFTED BY SOARING CORN !

CHICAGO. Jan. 4.--Soaring prices of corn today lifted the value got all grain. The rise in corn wass chiefly due to scarcity of receipts. .g What closed firm 4 to 1Ac net higher May $1.oSts @1.oss4 to $1.0sE, and July $1.06N; corn, after reaching new high price records for the sea- oats to % O Nc up, and provisions varying from a shade decline to 5c advance.
 Before the bulge in the corn mar ket began, wheat prices in Chicago had q downward tendency, the result of sympathy with weakness of wheat duotations at Liverpool, where offer ings of Canadian wheat were said to be cheaper and 1t was reported Arr genuine shipments had enlarged. AS soon as enhancement of corn prices became pronounced. however, there was rather lively demand for wheat, traders who were short showing anxiety both on account of the ascent of corn and as a result of the cir scumstances that wheat receipts in every direction were meagre.
 Y May delivery of wheat closed at the highest price this week. In. this connecton, 1t was pointed out that shipments from Chicago the last few days have exceeded the receipts, and that apparently interior millers were turning to primary markets to obtain suplies. Talk was current, Furthermore. that wheat as well as corn may be on strict domestic basis before the end of the crop year. =. >s ..'s
 Big broad trading in corn was ad- vanced and notwithstanding that rural offerings became somewhat larger as the market went upward, the total remained much below what fis usual for January. Particular stress was laid on the fact that in the northwest especially there was a totable falling off in the volume of receipts. Oats followed corn up- grade. with May oats at nearly the seasons top price.
