' Marchb anks & Babb Commen?ai t Stocks and Bonds. NEW YORK. Dec. f..-Bonds and stocks moved contrarily today; tba former evincing; greater heaviness, while the list of stock prices issued by the exchange after tho close indi cated a firmer tendency. The only pronounced exception to the downward tendency in bonds again was furnish- ? ed by the several Rock Island issues, I which rose from one to three points, the latter measuring the gain in the collateral fours. Dealings in bonds, while relatively larger in volume than on the two pre ceding days, involved a smaller num ber of Issues. Bids and asked prices of stocks in dicated not only a rising tendency but a broader inquiry. Today's business In stocks, while not disclosed, was re ported to show an increase for the two hours over'the same period of the early days of the week. Contrary to reports, the special committee in charge of the stock ex change today announced that plans to effect a resumption of open dealings in stocks had not yet gone beyond the ! tentative stage. The only feature to foreign exchange was the increased strength of relchs marks, which rose half a cent over yesterday's quotation. This week's bank statement waa es pecially Interesting in that it was tho first full and complete exhibit made since the outbreak of the war and the first comparative report of its kind since the new federal reserve system became operative. Actual loss of $10. 775,000 was much under general esti mates, while the loan expansion of about $22,fi00,000 was ascribed to va rious syndicate operations. o New York Cotton NEW YORK. Dec. 5.-Houses with foreign connections were good buy ers of cotton today and prices ruled higher in the absence of any aggres sive selling. The close was steady at a net advance of 2 to 8 points. Reports that a Memphis authority estimated the crop at 15,120,000 bales excluding linters or considerably lower than figures recently published, may pos sibly have helped the advance, but talk of improving export demand and the failure of southern hedge selling to develop on anything like a material seale, were the bullish factors chiefly discussed around the ring. The market opened steady at a de-? cline of 2 points to an advance of 4 points, but generally 1 to 4 points higher in keeping with steady Liver pool cables. There was a' little south ern selling but offerings from that source were not considered heavy enough to indicate any weakness in Um interior and prices soon improv ed on Investment buying of October I an trade buying of spring and summer months which was supposed' to come j largely from German sources.

This was in spite of .much larger crop talk and bearish predictions of further weakness in Ute spot markets of Ute! Interior. The chief source of strength was the demand from Ute short side. Sellers of Ute week who wanted tel realize profits on the week and met I with only scanty offerings and quick ly bid prices up on themselves.
