New York. Dee. 11—The cotton mar ket opened steady at unchanged prices to an advance of 11 points on covering and Liverpool buying, promoted by the steady ruling of the English market.

Chicago, Dec. 10.—In face of immense selling to renlize profits, wheat, corn and oats today established new high price records for the season. ,It was the third successive day of record-breaking advance* in wheat and corn. A new | upturn in wheat quotations at Liverpool and a decrease of 8,011,000 bushels in the world’s available supply of wheat were among the stimulating factors. Wheat closed unsettled n't he same as yeser day’s finish to 1 1-8 cent higher. May 1.66 1-8 to 1.66 3-8 and July 1,45 1-8 to 1.46 1-4, corn one-fourth to three-fourths cent up, oats unchanged to one-fourth cent off and provisions varying from 12 cents decline to 25 cents gain. Throughout the day, fluctations were rapfd in the wheat market. Trade was of such large volume that individual op erations counted for little. It was cur rent gossip, however, (that Europeans were active buyers of future deliveries here and there also were estimates that new export business had been done amounting to 1,000,000 bushels. At the highest point today, wheat who wed 7 3-4 cents to 12 cents gain compared with last week’s lowest level. In some quar ters this fact was taken as explaining a reactionary trend apparent in the late dealings. Earlier and huge selling to realize profits had been readily absorbed by new sets of buyers but towrd the last the volume of offerings acted as some thing of a weight on the market. Hot, dry weather in Argentina con tinuing to injure the corn crop there was largely responsible for the upward swing of values here for corn and oats. Rural offerings of com remained small.
