By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, December 5.-Cotton
futures opened barely steady. to S

and hedge selling. December, 1921;
January. 1904: March. 1908; May,
11.s9; July, 11.73: october, 11.21.
Southern selling and offerings from
New Orleans and Liverpool supplied
the demand which. came principally
from trade sources. There was further
December liquidation and next Octo-
Der was under pressure owing to un-
certainties over crop control for 1887.
After March had eased from 1908
to II 80 1t recovered to 1900 on little
trade and commission house buying.
Prices generally were to S points
net lower at the end of the first hour.
An international house reduced its
estimate Of the East Indian crop by
1924, 900 bales from an earlier figure to
6.es7 900 bales. compared with last
years production Of $3.50, 900.

CHICAGO GRAIN
By the Associated Press,

-" eAAS sAsSS~Aesca EtCoos
CHICAGO, December 5.-About a
cent bushel setback of wheat values
here took place at times today, chiefly
owing to advices of considerable
moisture where needed Southwest.
July wheat. representing the 1887
domestic crop, displayed more of a
downward tendency than did old crop
months, December and May. A
steadying factor on the market as a
whole was attention given to the cir
cumstance that Liverpool July at
$l.19h was more than IL cents over
Chicago and 1884 over Kansas City.
One leading trade authority said that,
considering the quality of American
hard Winter wheat, this price differ
ence should mean q full export basis.
The United States, 1t was pointed
out, has not heretofore been anywhere
near such basis since 1929, when
the Farm Board at Washington in
augurated Official steps toward at
tempted control of grain prices.
Assertions were added that the pres
ent price situation held more promise
for American agriculture than do po-
lttical measures.
Overnight export purchases of Ca
madam wheat were estimated as about
100000 bushels, including 100000
bushels to Italy.
Corn, oats and rye eased with
wheat. Chicago receipts of corn to-
day totaled 1877 cars.
Provisions were without significant
change.
Around II am. wheat was n to 1
cent lower, compared with yesterdays
finish, December, 1924; May, $1.20A;
and corn was unchanged to u OH,
December $1.07A; May, $1.023s.

Of persons, mostly newly married

They were told the audiences might

however, there was no definite time

Some prelates expressed the theory
the Pope was stricken a. consequence
Of the thoroughness with which he had

Maritime Deadlock Duplicated
in Many Industries Through

By the Associated Press.


Organizers called Is. 900 men, women
and children to parade at San Fran
cisco today in protest against the
stalemate in the Nations maritime
strike-a deadlock duplicated in vari-
GUS other industries troubled by
walkouts.
Strife in the shipping industry kept
thousands Of workers idle in San

by nine non-maritime strikes in the
San FranciSo Bay area.
The Pacific Northwest lumber in
dustry's business was cut an estimated
SO per cent.
At Houston a waterfront riot that
started when striking seamen occupied
their old headquarters, the Interna-
tional Seamen's Union Hall, left one
man shot, probably fatally, and three
others beaten.
At New York the strike Of rank
and file" Seamen continued unabated,
but its repercussions involving loading
and unloading of French ships faded.
Nom striking dockworkers agreed to
resume handling cargoes after being
assured French longshoremen, who
sympathized with American striking
seamen, would lift their work embargo
against American vessels.
Negotiators had strike settlements
in the GOODYEAR Tire A. Ruhher Co q
No. plant. at Akron, Ohio, and at
the Midland Steel Products Co. plant,
at Detroit, to show for their weeks
efforts.
The Midland peace agreement in
cluded wage adjustments and aboli-
tion of the piece-work system. It
promised to allow immediate resump-
ton of activities in some divisions Of
the Chrysler Corp. and Ford Motor Co.
which had been suspended because of
