New York, Dec. 9.—A distinctly firm tone developed early In today’s abbrevi ated cotton market and, under the forco of scattered weekend professional cover ing and moderate demand from Liver pool and trade Interests, prices moved about 20 to 32 points net higher after opening only 4 to 17 better than Friday. The general situation lacked new tea lures, tmt the market apparently reflected the improvement of securities prices and tho more optimistic reports regarding European conditions. Southern hedge selling and local long liquidation were well absorbed and made little or no im pression on values. In the last hour the market showed a email reaction from its top. but the closing tone was firm ami final prices were 13 to 20 points net better.

Chicago, Dec. 3.—Prices Jumped to the highest of the season today under i a marked increase in the speculative i trading induced by President Har ding's message to congress and the speech of Julius II. Barnes, foimer [ wheat director, delivered here Friday. ! Numerous stop loss orders were | caught on the way up and there was , a decidedly bullish feeling amongst ! all classes of traders. Closing trades were at about the 1 best, with wheat at the last showing i net gains of 1 1-2® 3c, while corn was ; up 1 1-4®1 3-4c, oats l,fi 1 l 2e, and ! rye 2 1-202 5 8c. Lard gained 2 1-2® 5c and rilft 17 l-2c. Liquidation In the grain markets ran its course early in the week when the lowest prices were made, but the prospect of favorable legislation and ! increased speculative buying absorbed tlie? offerings and a stampede on the part of the bears was under way at i the last. As compared with the finish of the pievloun week wheat was up 1 3-403 3-4c, corn 1 3 4®2c, oats 1 3 4®2 18c. and rye 3 3 403 3-8c. Liird dropped 10022 1 2c, with ribs 15c higher to 5c lower. Routine Development* Ignored. Introduction of the foreign credit bill Into congress which authorized the war finance corporation to buy drafts of grain exporters had considerable influence, as the Barnes speech of the previous day had indicated that additional credits to foreign buyers might result in a Mg advance in prices. Routine developments were ig nored throughout the day, and all grains were dominated by the same factor. Export demand was rather slow, but some rye was report'd as having been worked and more business is pending. Gables from Liverpool said plate offer ings of wheat In that market had been withdrawn, but the finish there was un changed to ’«d lower on expectations of liquidation on Monday. An outstanding feature in oats was the reports of a better cash demand and it was said 400,000 to 200-.000 bushels had been sold out of Minneapolis of laic to go to the southwest A sale of 100,000 bush els corn was made to go to store. Prem ium* on cash wheat were firmer and on corn easier in the local sample market, l'it Notes, The advance in all grains and strong (Jose created the impression at th»* last that higher prices are to be expected. Liverpool should reflect the advance here on Monday and new buying is expected. There has been extensiv- covering by shorts and ;» general renewal of confidence among holders. Selling pressure whVh has been a feature on previous advances was not in evidence. Stop order buying of May wheat from $1 20 up to $ 1.20 *•* and May corn up from 7 1> upward wore features In the last hour. The best interest appears to have given up the tight for lower prices for th<> time being, evidently regarding the situation as unfavorable. Traders regarded the action of Argon, tin.i operators in withdrawing offerings in English market* as tending to confirm re cent reports of damage to the crop by un favorable weather. Unless there Is a change for the better there, harvest will be late and tlm movement retarded. December oats were hard to buy anil have been for several days. They advanced to 45f|c. Minneapolis reported sales of 5,(10,000 bushels the past few' clays to go to the southwest. Grain receipts at primary markets this week aggregated 24,829,000 bushels, an in crease of 1.960,000 bushels for the week and 4,800.000 bushels over last year They also aided the five-year average by 4.400, 000 bushels or 17 per cant. The total movement was the largest at till-* Unto since 1918 when the aggregate whs 20, 70 7,000 bushels. CHICAGO ( I.OSING PRICKS. By ITpdlk# Grain Co. DO 8667. Pee. • Art. I Open.

New York, Dec. 9.—A week which has been rather noteworthy for its enhancement of values in practically every market—stocks. Liberty bonds, home and foreign securities, foreign exchange, grain and cotton—came to an end without any reversal of form. The drift of the stock market, not withstanding some irregularity in the day's net changes, was again gener ally upward. The war loans rose l-8c or 14 point further, making the month's recovery to date about 3-4 point. Foreign bonds gained a frac tion. their advance for the week run ning in numerous cases 1 to 2 per cent. Home bonds moved variably, but with advances for the day pre dominating, except in one or two is sues. Wheat rose nearly 3c, going 3-4c above the season's previous high est prices. Spot cotton again crossed the 23c line on the advance. Sterling Move* Higher. Considering what the advance in most of them had been during the week, and considering also that Kurope’s own ex ■ hang*' markets do little business on a Saturday, the firmness of the foreign ex changes on the closing day of the lyeck was somewhat remarkable. Sterling mov ed up again to its high point of the week and year, closing only \sr under that figure. If the franc and the lira lost a small fraction for the day. both neverthe less. t nded fit a good advance over the previous week’s closing. Indeed, this gain for the w-dv was common to practically al! the Kuropean exchanges. Unusual in terest will be taken in the course of that market during the next few weeks. As it happens, every one of file princi pal Kuropean exchanges (except Berlin) advanced considerably between this week and file yearend, not only last year, but in 1920. f inancial Topic. Now Haven's advance to 22today, a gain <-f 2 points from the low of the ‘pre ceding day. is generally attributed to tlie statement of tlie company's officials out lining plans for a protest of the Interstate i ouiinerco commission's tentative valua ion. \ ice President Hm kland claimed that t lie appraisal of the slocks equity at llTG "HH h»w because of several omissions and that the road would formally protest the valuation because of tlies* omissions. The stock closed at 22,,j, a n*'t advance of 7* pouts. lli** statement of forward business on tin books of the United States Steel cor poration, Issued after the close of the market, showed a loss of some 62,000 tons. This was a surprise to the rank and file in the financial district. Inasmuch as tb' first estimates appearing about a week ago • all.-d for an increas* or between 100.ooo to 150,000 tons. These estimates, however, w. re revised to a considerable extent during i ho week, tut even with tiles© rr vlsions the uorst that was expected waa only a slight gain over the previous month. hi view of th© fact that the Treasury department has lifted the final restriction from paying out gold on demand, many of the large banking institutions have ar ranged to have on hand considerable quan tities of gold coin at Christmas time, in the belief that the former custom of glv !”£ fcold as gifts will bo revived this year. Tlie banks have been informed by the Treasury department that they can cet all the gold they desire this year. It was reported in bond and banking circles that the United .States Treasury department has been a moderately heavy buyer of Liberty (sues during the last few days, with considerable attention centered on the fourth 4 Us.
