Dec. 14.—Influenced by? iirjii < ables and local shorts covering, the • otton market opened steady at 7 to 12 joinis highei today than the closing prices of Friday. Trading was very ac tive during ?hc first fifteen minutes and prices rallied a few points from the opening. After the call, the ring crowd inclined to sell, resulting in prices drop ping back. practically unchanged from the iirsi figures. The larger spot houses wcr« good buyers. Profit-taking by scattered longs and the rim crowd selling short resulted in the mark* i declining further^’during the late Trading of the short session. Those who covered early w’ere among the best sell ers later. The unusual week-end short covering was not in evidence. Hou- ver, Hu' market was supported remarkably well by the large spot houses, but the big hulls were absent, and prices after de clining about 7 points from the opening, out with continued aggressiveness from brokers representing spot interests a few points advance was noted. 'l’he principal factor today was the fact that John McFadden was very bullish and is now in the city. Traders were less urgent in making their deals and handled them with caution, which was evidently logically due because of the inactive mar i ket during the last half houf* of trading. At the close the market was steady, with prices a net gain of 5 to 13 points from the final quotations of Friday. RANGE IN NEW YORK FUTURES.

As is general on Saturday trrf]a ' will be an evening up day for the smaller traders in wheat who do not care to stand either long or short over Sunday be. cause of the uncertainty surrounding th. war situation m the Far East. Liver,. was % to %d higher with an lni|,'rov2| Spot demand for Manitoba and Miller, good buyers. ’ Argentine weather unsettled in parts where harvest is on. Corn was up fractionallj- on shorts env ering and smaller offerings. Liver-,,,, was unchanged to %d lower. There wer vossibllltles of a better demand f.„ . < corn, but thia was more than offset b freer country offerings. Oats were unchanged. Hogs at the yards were strong and nro. visions were firmer. The situation in wheat was weak at >he close and resting spots for the showed net losses of % to %e. Manv o ’s those who bought early were on th- jwl|. ing side late and they were willing to ar cept losses rather than carry the wheat over to Monday, when a bearish -et or routine statistics are among the possi bilities. The cash situation was a little better- with Kansas City reporting ten boat loads for export via the gulf and there were 25.000 bushels sold here', and a fair sized business was done at St Louis. Corn and oats each dosed with losses of % to Cash sales of corn at Chicago 145,000 bushels, an.l oats 135.000 bushels. Provisions dosed with but little change, pork showing most weakness.
