Hubbard. Price 4 Co.'S cotton circular SAYS:
Ihe market opened steady this morning at
ABOUT last nights closing advces from Liver
pool, showing that market unchanged. Up To
the time that the government report was an
nounced, Indicating a strong probability of
frost throughout the south tonight the market
was without special feature but the fear of full
nllment of the Weather Bureaus prediction
was AT once seized upon as a lever with which
to advance prices and with the exception OF
OctoberS closing figures, showed a gain of
about five points under the covering of shorts
which took place. October was held in place
only by the pressure of low grade cotton, which
promises to be rendered ON that months con

noticeable for activity, and large business was
transacted in all of the various futures within a
higher range of prices. But a desperate effort
was made to break prices and the raid proved
partially >uccessful excepting for September

per bushe was added to tho advance of yester
day, at which figure that future was held. The
opening for September was the same az the
closing figures OF yesterday and with DC jumps
prices struck 81 so, at which figure the market
rested, and at noon traders. who had control Of
the market, offered to effect settlements on
that basis The opening for deferred futures
about 1c higher than yesterdays closing,
and prices were further advanced ABOUT 1bG134c

offerings acted as buwark against further
advance 1t soon developed taat a raid" was
to be made OH these deliveries Offers were
liberal enough to cause a break of 1Wll4c, Oc-
tober futures in the meantime declining 1Llc.
The weakness was assisted some by a report
that some wheat was being shipped from st.
Louis so also to the rHinor that wheat was en-
route from other points to Chicago. From the
decline no:ed the market reacted 1h0t5sc. but
became weak again and finally settled off 1c
