Hubbard. Price & Co.'S cotton circular says:
PrlceS at the opening w-re from 1908 points
below yesterdays close. During the day, how
ever, the selling movement appeared to be eN-
hausted and an advance of from 4Gs5 points was
established, mainly on rumorS of FROST emanat-
ing from Northern Texas Louisiana and Ar
kansas ReviSions of quotations made yester-
day max difference in the grades of cotton
between mdding and low middling of 1-I6c,
and on lower qualities 15@5-lGc. This of course
increases the value of contracts, which now
represent mainly tenderabe low grade cotton
TO precisely the extent named, and near posi-
lions have in consequence been noticeably firm.
The south is offering cotton in daily increasing
quantity, and the disposition of holders seems
to be to meet the market. AS yet, however, no
pressure of actual cotton has been felt here, as
New York contracts are far below their usual
relative prices as compared with foreign mar
kets, and cotton is all going to supply the deficit
existing abroad. Lower grades are freely
offered"

CHICAGO, Oct. 1.-THE action OF to-day's
wheat market occasioned a general surprise,
and talk of manipulation was again revived.
Trading was fairly active, but confined APP
parently to large traders and to a considerable
extent local, outsiders not doing much. Out
side business would no doubt be larger but for
the fact that some receivers are refusing to
accept new business, claiming that the risks are
too great The feeling more nervous than
yesterday The government report had de-
cidedly weakening effect, and the opening was
from 212lkc below yesterdays closing figures.
But there was good buying from the start,
which caused prices to rally, and with numer-
Gus fluctuations prices were advanced &c for
December and 3l4c for May; then sold off some
and closed about &c higher for December and
&c higher for May than yesterday afternoon.
The stubborn action of the market Immediately
after the opening made shorts fear manipula-
