New York Cotton.
New York. Pec. 16.—The cotton market
came under the Influence of the uaual
weekend evening up by professionals and
at first met a little more professional cov
ering than liquidation, reflecting this by
advancing some 5 to 18 points after a nar
rowly Irregular opening of 6 points loss
to 2 points gain. The spot month. Decem
ber, was inactive and lagged behind the
rest of the list, but business on the whole
was featureless and dull.
The heaviest buyers were probably Liv
erpool Interests, Wall Strcot operators
and wire houses. Sellers included the
eouth, spot people and room longs.
The market met a better class of buying
as tbe session progressed and in tbe final
half hour of trading developed a decidedly
firm undertone and advanced more than
^io above Friday night's close In several
Instances and closed around the top, 18
to 30 points net higher.
Spot was st- ady, 25.70c for middling up- |

Chicago Grain
Chicago, Dec. 10.—As was expected,
ths grain markets broke raher sharply
in the early trading, due to the bear
ish construction placed on the govern
ment crop report, with the active de
liveries of wheat off around l^c from
the previous day’s finish, but the sur
plus in all the pits was taken off the
market by commission houses on rest
ing orders and a rally came toward
the last that carried values above the
previous day’s finish for all grains.
Closing trades were %®lc higher on
wheat, with corn ’fcc lower to Uc
higher, oats higher and rye
lower.
All grains sold at a new high for
the season the past week, and while
values have been on the upgrade for
nearly two weeks, the undertone at
the last was distinctly strong with sen
timent decidedly bullish. As com
pared with the finish the previous
week, wheat was up l%(tf6c, the lat
ter on July. Corn gaifted l7*@2%s,
oats and rye l%@2^4c. Lar£
was up 25(&32V^c and ribs 75 @ 90c for
the week.
Higher Prices Kxpcoted.
General run of news was decidedly
favorable for a higher range of prices.
Contineufbl exchange was higher, ami
while Washington denied that the Ger
man loan whs assured, the fact that the
United Kingdom and the continent bought
wheat and torn In North America had
considerable influence on sentiment.
Wet weather has delayed harvesting
of wheat in Argentina and private cables
from there indicated that a rdcuction in
crop estimates would he necessary. The
trade forgot about the government re
port shortly after the opening, and local
statisticians were inclined to be rather
skeptical regarding the amount of wheat
raised.
Country offerings of corn were not
large, one of tho largest houses operating
in Illinois and Iowa buying only a few
cars overnight. Larger receipts arc ex
pected, however, as tho Illinois Central
ta furnishing cars In central Illinois, <'u#h
corn premiums were firm with elevator
lntcrest« good buyers.
Interest In oats is Increasing with a
somewhat broader trade. Sentiment
more friendly to the buying side, with
demand for cash grain fair and move
ment relatively light.
Despite talk of a big export business
tn rye. with sales of around t.300,000
buslxela reported at the seaboard the p«. t
two days tho market made a poor re
sponse to buylnggand closed slightly eas
ier. Norway, Sweden and Greece were
Identified as buyers of cash grain.
Pit Notes.
Action of the wheat market today
showed what trade leadens here and for
eigners thought of the government re
port. Thouo who sold prices off on it*,
early bought bade their grains lnter in
tho day at higher price#, while foreign
ers cams in and bought 800,00') bushels
of wheat, considerable corn and 3,300,000
bushels rye, Sweden taking 500,000
bushels. There was an extended short
Interest early, and at tho close trade
leaders saw nothing bearish In tho situa
tion.
Traders friendly to corn took the buy
ing side at the start and continued
throughout the day. Liquidation spent
its force early. The government reduced
estimates on'y 5,000,000 bushels from the
previous figures and the trade in general
was convinced that th«re is no more corn
In the country than will be required for
domestic consumption and export, and
leave a fair carry over at the end of the
season.
Local trader* who are friendly to oh fa
continue their buying of May on all |
dip.*;. Lnough December la coming out
from day to day to satisfy all buyers.
The movement la heavy, but la being
well taken car® of. and there la a friendly
feeling to the buying side on the breaks.
The government report arbitrarily in
creases the wtnter wheat acreage 1.000,
000 acres over the previous estimate and
Increases the area harvested In 1921 by
700,000 acres, says B. \V. Snow. The basis
for auch changes can only be known to
the officials. To accept the present fig
ures It is necessary to believe that some
48.000.000 acres were actually seeded last
year, a figure that can not b*» reconciled
with any facts previously of public record.
Movement of grain in h'*avy, especially
of corn. Total receipts of all grains at
primary markets last week were 24.526,- !
000 bushels, the largest at this time since
1918 when they were 28.357,000 bushels.
There was a loss of 300.000 bushels for
the week and a gain of 2.300,000 bushels
over last year and 2,600.000 bushels over
the 6-year average. Torn receipts in
creased 600.000 bushels for the week and
nearly 4,000.000 bushels under last year's.
Cars are more plentiful tn some sections of
the grain states and short In others. There
Is a big movement of corn from the Mis
souri river section to the west, one rail
road having orders to movo 600 carloads.
The Illinois Central railroad brought In al
most 25 per cent of the corn received at
Chicagx. last week. .

Financial
New York, Dec. H.—An uncertain
and Irresolute movement of stocks, a
firm bond market, a fuither advance
In foreign exchange rates and an up
ward movement of the grain and cot
ton market, brought the week to a
close In much the same financial
atmosphere as had prevailed on Its
preceding days. Today's advance In
European exchange attracted the
greater Interest, both because It fol
lowed the prolonged rise which
seemed to have been checked In the
middle of the week and because little
business Is usually done on Saturday
at the European end of the exchange
market.
The p-oeumptlon. therefore, was
that most of today’s business orig
inated In Now York. It did not great
ly alter the price of sterling, though
even that rose a fraction. But the
franc rose from 7.46 1-2 to 7.63c, the
highest price since October 5. The
Italian lira again went above the
season's previous highest; It Is now
only about 3-Sc below it best figure
since the war and 1 l-3c above the
low rate to which it fell at the end
of October, when the fascist! govern- j
ment was about to be installed.
Mnrkff Stronger.
Perhaps even more interesting because
more unusual in these days, the mark re
covered from .001% to nearly .002—a
handsome upward reaction If one mea
sures by percentages.
Tt can hardly be doubted that this week
end rise in the continental exchanges was
largely based on expectation of something
important happening in regard to the
reparations aettlament. No one can rea
sonably doubt that the prospect of some
practicable international agreement In
more encouraging than it has been since
the London conference in the spring of
t#2l. But the market will be wise if It
keeps on its guard against premature
conclusions Floating of an international
loan for Germany means the finding of in
vestors who would take it, and the find
ing of investors of the necessary resources
would depend, first on Germany’s giving
evidence of an honest purpose to reform its
disordered currency and home finances;
second on the rate of interest which the
German government would pay. The real
ground for confidence is the extent to
which the French and British governments
have approached a common attitude on
the question.
ITnamliil Toplm.
The annr uncemert of the declaration of
another 20 per cent stock dividend on the
common shares of the Tan-American Pe
troleum and Transport company , an
nounced after the close of business on Fri
day, caused the wildest seramb’e for stock
witnessed on the floor of the Stock Ex
' hango in many months Only a few
days ago rumors were circulated in the
street that “salt water would again be
pumped into the Mexican oil stocks’’ This
caused heavy speculative selling for the
account of professionals and created a
large short Interest.
Consequently when ths professionals
were « aught off their guard bv the un
expected announcement of the stock divi
dend the ' crowd * assembled around the
“Pan Fete” post before the opening await
ing an opportunity to cover their short
commitments.
The renter of speculative Interest dur
ing the rowing ueek. so far as the rail
road shares are concerned, will be the
a-tjon of the directors of the Great
Northern, who meet the latter part of the
we*k to discuss »hc semi-annual dividend.
All sorts of stories have gone about
Wall street this week about what they
vill do and of course all of these ate
guesses The directors themselves are
noncommittal, but in unofficial conver
sations say that they hope to be able to
maintain the regular rate, which is 7
per cent for the year.
The steel Industry of the country has
experienced some slackening of activity
during the past week. This development
if of little importance, according to the
opinion expressed hy leaders In the in
dustry. and can be looked upon as a
seasonal development always experienced
at this time of year. Producers say that
their order books show’ a large balance
of unfinished business and they can con
tinue to operate at the recent’rate of 8^
per cent or more lit they desired to do ar

New York Bonds
New York, Dec. 16.—Price changes In
listed bonds were irregular and generally
unimportant in today's relatively quiet
dealings.
Foreign bonds showed a firm tone in
reflection of the higher exchange rates
and the hope held out for an early
settl- ment < f the German reparations
question by a revival of agitation for a
German loan, but the gains were largely
nominal. Mexican 5s, which have been
active at rising prices of late, moved up
1 point today.
, United States government issues moved
within narrow limits. Tho flrat 4%e
advanced 6c cn $10o. the second, fic, and
liberty 3 Vie. 2c, while tho uncalled vic
tory and new 4%s each lost 2 cent* and
tho others were unchanged.
Erie convertible 4*. series A, moved up
1% points unci griina of a point ea^h
were scored ly Atchison convertible 4s.
Kansas Teiinitial 4s and Seaboard Atrllne
adjustment is, but Seaboard Consolidated
6s and St. Paul debenture 4a were rear,
tionary. Copper bonds moved up in
response to higher stock prl.es, Chile 7s
gaining a point and Ccrre de Vas.o 8s,
1 %. Marland Oil 7%s, with warrants,
and 'Montana power 6a were reactionary.
Total sales, par value, were $6,331,000.

WHAT OF STOCKS IN 1923?
1922 was a Bull year. Will 1923 bo a contin
uance of the advance or will big liquidation take
placef My 1023 Forecast will tell you. It Is j
hSRt'd on purely mathematical science, not guese
work.
The 1922 Block Forecast, issued December, 1921,
called every important t°P and bottom; foretold
final tops for October; and warned of a panicky
decline In November. M.v forecasts have beet) very
accurate on all markets for the past 5 years.
Every Investor and trader should have some well
defined plan for buying stocks In 1923. Wise
tnanipuiatois do not gun**; they follow careful de
fined plans. Why not you? Prominent business

HIDKH. FUHS, wuni,
Market conditions are very much In llna
with our report of n week ago. I.ooal quo
tations remain unchanged. The most Im
portant news In the trade Is that the dead
lock between the packers ami tanners was
broken late last week nnd heavy trading
resulted. From a half to thr**e quarters
of a million of hides of various selections
changed hands at prices ranging from -
to 3kc per pound lower than simuar
hides had sold a nhort time before which
is sufficient evidence that hides had ad
vanced higher than the price ot leather
would warrant. tanners claiming tney
could not sail leather on a replacement
busts. This is an unusually severe decline
amt at this time it is ha-d to foretell
what the effect will be on th« industry ns
a whole. However, local buyers have not
reduced prices this week, and. realizing
that their customer* like to clean up be
fore the first of the year, they are giving
their customers an opportunity to sell ir
they are disposed to do so.
The calg'skln market is especially de
pressed and lower nl eastern points. It W
reported locally, nnd them hns been little
trading on which to base n market.
Horse hides are easier, naturally, s. they
always hear a relative value to cow hide".
If one goes down the other Is likely to
follow. . ,
There Is not much change in wool Or
sheep skins. Both are rather quiet, hut
local buyers are Inteleated In securing tna
best lots of wool and pelts.
The tallow and grease market snows
hand to mouth trading where a buyer
wants n certain amount to fill In on some
requirement, and thin will bring “^out
steady prices. Thera is no Inrga trading*
and buyers prefer to close down as soon ns
possible for the balance of the year. The
