SELLING ORDERS
 LOWER WHEAT
Loss Reaches 5 Cents, Which Is Partly Over
 come Before Close

CHICAGO, Dec. 2.-Big selling orders executed through houses with eastern connection had a depressing effect on the u-heat market today and the prices averaged lower. Enlarged offerings or new crop Argentine wheat at Liverpooi was A reason given for selling. Wheat nrices here closed unsettled % to IA net loss. December S152h @1.52es and May s1 .5sN @1. .59M. Corn finished unchanged to x higher; oats at h off to 1s up and nrovisions varying from 2c decline to 45c gain.
 It was only after the wheat market had shown something of an advance that selling orders in any great volume began to operate. The result, however, was a sharp break. which, in some cases amounted to Sc a bushel, loss that subsequent rallies overcame only m part. Weakness of quotations Dotn al Buenos Aires and Liverpool acted as a decided handicap on friends of higher nrices here. Meanwhile Canadian ter minals were represented as glutted with wheat and export demand in that coun- try rathr limited notwithstanding an upturn in foreign exchange.
 Bullish crop advices from Chicago expert who Is investigating conditions in Argentina had moe or less to do with the temporary sIi ehs.m " wheat market here. The bullish news, how/er, was virtually lost sight of when selling in great volume set in, and the buying support proved to be disproportionate.
 Corn and oats owed their firmness largely to the fact that farm sales of both were light. with feeders active buyers of corn. Besides, the corn mar ket was responsive to crop damage re- ports from Argentina.
 An upturn in hog values helped to strengthen the provision market and so did a decrease in lard stocks here.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON

NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 2.-The cotton market developed much steadier tone in today's trading and prices gradually advanced after slight break at the opening until late in the morning Janu- ary, the most active month, showed a gain over the low of 40 points at 29 points over the previous close. The close was at the days best.
 Liverpool was about as due at the time the local market opened and first trades were unchanged to a point or two up. The market eased off right after the call, January trading down to 22S5c and March to 22.91c, or Il to 16 points below Mondays close. These were the rallied on fair trade buying and prices advanced steadily until January reached 23.25c and March 23.35c, or 40 to A points above the lows. While prices eased off about 10 to 13 points during the afternoon on realizing the market rallied at the end and the close showed net gains for the day of 23 to 25 points.
 The tone was much healthier owing to the improved technical position of the market and to the belief that big crop estimates had been discounted. There was good trade demand for con- tracts, New England mills in particular being in the market. A large eastern spot house was also reported to be buy ing freely through brokers. Exports for the day were large, 51,500 bales, of which Savannah contributed 24,203 and Charleston 12,22S bales.

TONE OF COTTON HOLDS STEADIER
Renewal Of Trade Buying And Covering Sends
 Values Upward

NEW YORK, Dec. >2.-The cotton market showed steadier tone today on a renewal of trade buying and cov- ering which sent the price of January up from 22.70c to 23.osc, or 32 points net higher. January closed at 23.05c with the final tone of the market firm at net advances of 27 to 36 points.
 The opening was steady at a decline of 5 points to an advance of 8 points. Near months were relatively easy on liuuidation promoted by the circulation of notices estimated at about 1000 bales A better trade demand, however, was reported on the decline to 22.5Sc for December and 23.15c on March, and the market firmed up at midday on con- tinued support from that quarter conn bined with covering.
 Offerings were comparatively light after the selling of the past few days and buying was attributed partly to a firmer technical position, coupled with a disposition to even up recent sales port scheduled for publication next Monday. The feeling in this connection appeared to be that the decline from the high prices touched during the middle of last month had gone some way toward discounting an increase in estimates of the yield, and uncertainty as to whether the coming government report would confirm the larger crop figures was supposed to be one of the factors on the rally. General business remained quiet, however, and rumors that private returns pointed to a gin ming of about 12,2OO.000 bales. received rather a bearish interpretation in some quarters.
 Private cables said the better tone in Liverpool was due to trade buying and covering and the trade buying of late months here attracted consid- erable comment on the late afternoon bulge.
 Several private crop reports are ex- pected within the next few days. Con- flicting rumors as to their showing has probably increased uncertainty as to the government figures next week.

FIVE IN MARITAL TANGLE.

NEW YORK, September 10.-Two
men and three women tangled q few
marital knots yesterday when Judge
Mcintyre set September 19 for SEN
tence of Stewart Clinton, an account
ant, who pleaded guilty to abandon
ing his two-year-old daughter Fran
ceS.
Frances mother, Mrs. Lillian Fran
ces O'Brien Clinton, was accused by
Clinton of marrying him while her
first husband, Herbert f. Gecks, who
she said was dead, was still living.
Gecks appeared in person and said he
in turn had married u Brooklyn girl
thinking Mrs. Clinton, or Gecks, had
obtained a divorce.
Whereupon Clinton added to the
puzzle by announcing he had, after
leaving Mrs. Gecks, or Clinton, think
ing his marriage to her was illegal,
married Barbara st. Clair, a dancer,
in Baltimore, and lives in that city.

LONDON, Nov. 25.--All reports
from today agree that the population

the calm before the storm there are in
Vulnerable indications that the British
are prepared. Several British warships
are proceeding to Egyptian waters and
troops are being sent to strategical sta
tons in that country; an entire battal-
ion is being moved across the Mediter-
ranean from Malta.
The Second Dorsetshires have left

pOndents report to their readers back
home that this is having "a salutary
effect upon the temper of the people.
Tomorrow the citizens of Cairo will
be given an opportunity to see Il whole
brigade of British infantry marching
through their streets with fixed bayo-
nets. Lord Allenby, the British high
commissioner, it is said, has been given
wide powers to deal with any sudden
emergency.
The press of Great Britain for the
most part is supporting the govern
ment's every demand upon the Egyp-
tians and all action which has been
taken in Egypt by the government
Some of the liberal papers appear to be
of the opinion that the demands are a
bit too strong and suggest that the
League of Nations ought to be put to
work on the situation.
