Tri-Weekly Market Reports
COTTON j
NEW YORK, Nov. 28.—Still higher
price levels were established in the
cotton arket here at the opening to
day because of the continued strength
in Liverpool end bullish trade ad
vices from Manchester. First prices
were firm at advances of 17 to 35
points above yesterday’s closing dur
ing the early trading. The opening
here was not a full response to the
higher cables, the advance in Liver
pool being attributed partly to the de
cline in sterling. Private cables re
ported heavy trade calling in Liver-,
pool and a 'big business in Man
chester.
Heavy realizing sales were too
readily absorbed to cause anything
more than a temporary pause in the
advance, and the market showed in
creasing activity and strength to
ward midday on reports that Liver
pool was buying everything in sight
in the Memphis spot market, and
that eastern mills were buying more
freely. Trade buying was also re
ported here and while commission
houses were heavy selling for old
longs, there was a broadening fresh
demand which contributed to the
midday advance. December sold up
to 36.71 and March to 36.41 early
in the noon hour, or 66 to 71 points
net higher. #
The advance extended to 0..00 tor
December and 36.72 for March dur
ing the middle of the afternoon, mak
ing nee gains of about 35 to 10-
points. Reports of a sharpe further
advance in Indian cotton and bullish
late cables from Manchester held of
ferings in check and necouraged a
continuation of the earlier buying
movement.

NtW ORLEANS COTTON
NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 28.
Strength of English market condi
tions carried the price of cotton into
new high ground for the season to
day in the face of the holiday in the
American markets tomorrow and an
increased disposition on the part long
interests to take down its profits. In
the first half hour of the session the
more active positions gained 36 to
38 points, January contracts trading
as high as 35.85 cents a pound. March
touched 35.96. The advance was
made in a matter of fact way, the
ring being t almost devoid of excite
ment
Reports that much rain and some
snow were falling on many fields of
open cotton in west and northwest
Texas increased the demand.
buying resulted from reports from
spot markets of Texas, the middle
belt and Georgia that buyers were
taking hold freely. Liverpool con
stantly cabled concerning a large
business doing in Manchester. In
the trading up to noon, January rose
to 36.16, where the list stood at gains
of 69 to 73 points.
The demand continued into the aft
ernoon sessin when the market com
menced to present a marked scarcity
of contracts. Sellers, for the most
part, appeared to the withdrawn and
offerings were supplied mainly by
traders on the long side who were
willing to take their profits. In the
trading up to 1:30 o’clock January
traded as high as 36.45, at which
level prices were 8 to 92 points high
er than the last sales of yesterday.

CHICAGO, Nov. 28.—Wheat prices moved
within a narrow range today. The under
tone was easy. There was a little pressure
at the start on the easier cables. With the
December-May spread widening to 6 cents »t
this time, cash houses were disposed to
transfer hedges, and this had a steadying in
fluence on December. Later Winnipeg
houses sold May, and bouses in the east were
buyers of this future. Chicago stocks prom
ise to show a heavy reduction this week
because of the heavy shipments to eastern
lake ports, 424,000 bushels being shipped
today and 240,000 bushels more are loading.
The visible supply will probably show onlv
a moderate increase, and there is a possibil
ity of a decrease. Primary receipts are
small, and there is. and will be, heavy
shifting of stocks to the east from now until
the close of navigation, some of the wheat
goin gto non-reporting points. Export trade
was slow owing to the unfavorable condition
of the exchange market.
Wheat closed % to cents lower; De
cember. $1.02% 10 $1.02%; May. $1.08%
to $1.08%; July. $1.06%.
Corn also was easy in tone. There was
more or less profit taking by longs, and
some of the short lines covered yesterdav
were being replaced today. Cash corn was
steady to 1 cent higher. Offerings to
arrive are nil and there were lighter ad
vices of consignments. A local cash handler
reported buying No. 3 corn at Minneapolis
yesterday for shipment to northern Illinet*.
Shipping demand was slow.
Corn closed % to % cent lower; Decem
ber, 71%c to 72c; May, 73% to 73%c; July,
Gats were easy in sympathy with other
grains.
Oats were unchanged tc % cents lower-
December 43%; May, 45c; July, 43% to
43 %c.
Higher hogs and light offerings caused
an upturn in provision values.
Lard closed 10c to 15c higher, and ribs 5
cents higher.

easier early today. No sales were reported,
but Cubas were offered at 5 15-16 cents,
cost and freight, equal to 7.72 for centirf
ugil ana full duty sugars at the same level.
The inactivity in the spot market and
the easier trend of prices abroad led to re
newed liquidation in raw sugar futures with
opening prices six to ten points lower. The
decline inspired a little fresh outside buy
ing, and prices rallied several points from
the lowest, followed by renewed heaviness,
so that midday levels were tbaut four to
nine points net lower.
Refined was quiet and unchanged at 9.20

Live Stock Supplies
Are Light, and Prices
Seek Higher Ground
BY L. C. GRUNDELAND
(Leased Wire Service to The Journal )
(Copyright, 1923.)
INION STOCK YARDS, Chicago, (Wed
nesday) Nov. 28.—Live stock supplies were
comparatively light today and the trade
showed strength. The fact that the market
will be closed tomorrow also helped a little,
as there were orders to be filled before
the holiday. Choice cattle were wanted
at better values, while hogs and sheep also
gained. Seilers had only about 11,300 hogs
held over from the day before. No hogs
were received by big killers from oth,er
trading points, while less than 1.000 lambs
were billed that way. Car report for the
day I was 870.
Receipts were 9.000 cattle, 29,000 hogs,
9,000 sheep and 3,000 calves.
Demand for choice cattle was fairly ac
tive from the start and most of the sellers
were willing to call values 10@15 cents
higher for the bulk of beef steers. Some
prime yearlings were on hand, and these
were quoted up to $12.<i0@12.75, Com
pared with the close of last week prices
showe da gain for all kinds of good steers.
Native eows and heifers had a strong mar
kpt with some sales higher, while bulls
aisf were in good demand. Bulk of choice
veal calves went over at $8.50@8.75 on a
fui'y steady market.
Hogs were higher from the start. Ship
pers and yards traders paid 15@25 cents
more than the day before, but big packers
were Slow to show up. Even their trading
was done at higher values later in the day,
however. Choice butchers sold at $7.10,
while some of the best packing hogs went
at $f.60@6.70.
Lambs sold 15@25 'cents higher from the
start and dmeand was good even for met
dintn and plainer lots. Prime killing lambs
went to shippers and city butchers at $13.50
while big killers paid $13.00® 13.35 for
choice lots. Small lots of aged muttons sold
at strong values.

PROGRESSIVE GROUP
IN SENATE MPIDLV
MAPPING PMIM
WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.—Views
of senate and house progressives
both as to organization and legisla
tion in the sixty-eighth congress
gradually are being crystallized.
House members of the Republican
progressive group are in the midst
of a series of formal conferences to
determine their program. At the
same time, Republican progressives
in the senate are holding informal
meetings for general exchanges of
ideas out of which they hope will
come concrete plans, particularly
with reference to farm, railroad and
other important legislation.
Organization and tax reduction
continue to be the central themes of
discussions with Republican leaders
seeking' to compose the differences
within their party in advance of
their organization conferences next
Saturday. They are seeking to avoid
especially any delay in the organiza
tion of the house and senate and are
understood to be prepared to make
concessions in the interest of party
harmony.
Representative Nelson, of Wiscon
sin, chairman of the house progres
sive group, has stated that on the
eve of the majority conference in
the hov..:e the progressives will com
plete formulation of their program
for reorganization of house com
mittees and modification of house
rules. They will go into the Re
publican conference prepared to
make a fight, they say, unless there
is an agreement in advance of the
conference.
Differences between the progres
sive and Republicans in the senate
over organization center on the
presidency of the senate. The pro
gressives desire that Senator Cum
mins, of lowa, retain the office of
president pro. tem. and relinquish
his place as chairman of the inter
state commerce committee so that
Senator LaFolle.tte, of Wisconsin, a
leader of their group, may he placed
directly in line for the chairman
ship.
On the other hand, the Republican
leaders are urging upon Senator
•Cummins that he give up the place
'as president pro-tern, and retain his
post as head of the committee, which
will be charged with the handling of
railroad legislation, one of the more
important of the problems that will
come before the congress at this
session.

Clubbing Combinations
We make nothing out of these other papers. It means
nothing to us whether you take them or not—if anything,
we are rather prejudiced against them, because we are put
to a lot of trouble to handle them, complaints are sent to us
whenever any one of them fails to reach the subscriber
promptly, and we have the expense of handling these com
plaints and sometimes lose the friendship of our subscribers,
who hold us to blame instead of the publishers of the other
papers.
We offer them solely as an accommodation to our friends
and thus enable them to save from one-fourth to one-half
the cost of publications they desire to take. We have re
moved from our list many publications which have given
poor delivery in the past. Judging from our past experience,
good service may be expected from those listed here:
