In the Cotton Market

(By Thomson * McKinnon) NEW YORK. Dec. 13. —Stimulated by buying for spot houses at the opening, cotton advanced about ten points this morning. Around mid-day a little of this gain had been lost and May cotton was quoted at $17.62 with the bulk of the business consisting of minor operations bv room traders. It was the general opinion that Miller, the president of the New York Cotton Exchange, testifying at Washington had made an excellent presentation of the situation In the textile world as tar as contract markets are concerned. Clayton. the largest individual cotton factor in the world, is expected to testify today. When this testimony is concluded we cannot help feeling that the world will have a better understanding of the vital part, the exchanges play in the distribution of the crop not forgetting the obligation growers are under to the general public Which carries so great a part of the crop whan the farmers are looking for buyers. With the technical position so favorable to an advance we feel that is very likely to occur. •

In the Stock Market

(Bv Thomson & McKinnon) NEW YORK. Dec. 13.—1 tis very evident that the stock market has not reached a stag? of stabilization. The ouctuatons are still violent, and that is an unmistakable sign of the nervousness that prevails in public, as well as professional circles. So long as these rapid price changes continue, the offset will be to further postpone the return of that large and Influential public that in time must return and help to absorb the floating supply of stocks. That this will come to pass in due time there can be no doubt, for there never was a postpanic when the country was in so sound a pcVlC'. as it is now. There is hardly a corporation of note but that Is now en-gat-d in or prpsr'ng for fur'her expansion. large constructin plans that will call for raw material and extensive employment of labor, and to ths must be added the very large construction plans of municipalities, states and the nation. Such recessions as are now noted in some lines are no different or more pronounced than what we have experienced in normal years. During the past five ▼ears, a period that will go down on record as a vary prosperous one. there were many months when steel production declined, when motor production decreased to the point that gave rise to the phrase, "saturation point.” There were times when fault was pointed out in many different industries, but as is well known, these recessions were temporary and followed in each instance by greater activity. Why should It be different now. wb.cn the foundation is so sound? The fmbllc will see the picture more clearly r ter on Inv*tment that la now taking place will conti: ue in the same conservative way. which in time wUI again give us a higher level of values.

'TRICK' PRINTING GIGS SCORED Seven Firms Turned Down by County Commissioners. County commissioners Friday rejected bids of seven competitors on Marion county printing for 1930, charging that "tricks” were resorted to in submitting figures on items included in the bids. Commissioners will readvertise for new bids some time next week, and declared that bidders who resort to “trick” figures will be liminated. New bids will include figures on election supplies, commissioners said. In previous years election commissioners have awarded contract for such supplies, but the county commissioners contend they are empowered with authority to j award the contract. An instance of the “tricks” em- J ployed was cited in which several bidders had submitted a $2 price on paper clips, while others bid to supply the item for 1 cent. They charged that competitors had listed a low price on a “first thousand” order while additional quantities were listed at a multiplied price.

LICENSE PLATES ON SALEDEC, 16 Fifield Defends System of State Purchasing. Announcing that automobile license plates for 1930 will go on sale Dec. 16 and urging early buying to avoid the rush, Otto G, Fifield, secretary of state, Friday defended action of his department in purchasing license plates without competitive bids. An article in The Times showing no bids were advertised for the license plates caused state-wide criticism of the procedure. Secretary Fifield defended his department with the statement that the state is getting plates at lower cost than any other state having plates of similar description. The 1930 license plates, Secretary Fifield said, were manufactured by the National Colortype Company of Lawrenceburg, Ind., and cost 8 cents a pair and 5 cents for single plates for trucks, trailers and sub-trailers. Secretary Fifield declared other states pay from 12 to 22 cents a pair for similar plates, with the lowest price for any state outside Indiana lOis cents. While bids were not askdd. competitive prices were compared, Fifieid says. The new plates are blue and gold, the state colors, letters being in gold on a blue background. The state will use approximately 925,000 pairs, which necessitate the use of 462 tons of metal and sixty barrels of enamel. Distribution will be through the license bureau and its branches over the state. New York Liberty Bonds —Dec. 13Close.

WHEAT MART SLUMPS AFTER GOOD OPENING

Chicago Grain Market Under Pressure of Commission Houses. BY HAROLD E. RAINVTLLE United Press Staff C orrespondent CHICAGO. Dec. 13.—Wheat prices were down, as the Board of Trade closed here today, under pressure from commission houses, especially those with eastern connections. The market was very nervous throughout the day and was easily influenced by a little trade in either direction and price movements were rapid. Com and oats were lower with the easiness in wheat. At the close wheat was % to IV* cents lower, corn was V 4 to % cent lower, and oats was % to % cent lower. Provisions were firm. Liverpool closed % to l?g cents higher and at mid-day Buenos Aires was V* cent lower, but the traders paid slight attention to this during the morning and prices were lower. There was an indication of a fair export business, but no figures were available. Cash prices were 1 cent lower. Receipts were 5 cars. Action was small in the corn pit and prices were fractionally better about mid-session. The strength in December, where shorts were covering, gave all months support. Receipts were rather light. Cash prices were unchanged. Receipts were 275 cars. Oats declined fractionally in a dull and featureless market during the early trading on selling by tired longs. Cash prices were V* cent lower. Receipts were 27 cars.
