NEW YORK.

New York, Nov. 10.-There was a big
trade today and an undercurrent of bull
sentiment that lifted December to SIC,
which is the top for the year. The bears
made several attempts to hammer the
market down, but news and sentiment
were too strong for them. New buyers
stepped in on every weak spot, and
prices rushed higher each time until
near the close the top notch was reached:
English cables were very strong, and
foreign houses had big buying orders,
both here and at the west. Cash wheat
was scarce all over the country. Argen-
tine reports came very bad, indicating
considerable damage from locusts.
Spring wheat receipts continue very

gated 12.250OO0 bushels. The range on
December was from 81 1-90S9c, closing

THE WOOL MARKET.

Boston, Nov. 10.-The tone of the wool
market is firmer, although trade had
made moderate gains, which is due to
the fact that values are held higher and
buyers are now waiting for manufactured
goods to sell. In territorial woods the
market is firm on the secured basis OF
81 to 32c while choice staple lots are
quoted at 33 to 34c. Fleece woods are
held firm all along the line, but sales are
slow. Australian woods are firm with
n general hardening of values. Some
good lines have been sold during the past
two weeks and for some of the recent
sales an advance has been obtained.

The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1896-11-12

oats advanced 81 and 3-Sc respectively.
PROVISIONS declined 1-265c.
Wheat-There was a good trade and a
1alrly active market in wheat. though
the range was narrower at | 5-S6I1 3-4c
Initial trades were at | 1-26D1 Use ad-
vance, and the market sold off a fraction
more, eased off Use, rallied 5-Sc, ruled
steady and closed at . 1-S62 1-4c adj
vance. The early strength was due to
foreign news, Id advance at Liverpool
and then the smaller receipts in all quar-
tiers, especially in the northwest, cut
quite a figure. Beerbohm cables con-
firmed the damage in Argentine. San
Francisco furnished further bull news as
to shipments to Australia and drought in
that country, and helped to sustain the
market. Foreigners were good buyers
here and also eXerted great influence
on prices. Berlin early was quoted
l IL marks higher. Receipts at Liver
pool the past three days were all Ameri-
can wheat. Grain riots were reported at
Bombay yesterday. A rumor was in
circulation via San Francisco that India
had rain. but Liverpool advices did not
refer to the same, and it had but little
effect on the market. Exports were fair
at 100000 bushels, of which $4,000
bushels We're in -four. Bradstreets re-
visible supply of 331 600 bushels, the in
crease the same week last year being
100000 bushels. Closing public Liv-
erpool cables quoted spot unchanged to
l I'D higher. The December-May
spread narrowed at one time to 3 LIE.
The weekly worlds shipments were
S,756,000 bushels against S,90S,000
bushels last week and 100000 last
year. New York reported two cargoes
spring wheat taken for Ireland and two
cargoes for Liverpool, about 100000
bushels in all, and added strength to the
market around the close. Northwestern
receipts were only 416 cars compared
with 1922 last year.
Corn was frmer. Firmness in wheat
and small receipts of corn. with still
morrow. were the influences leading up
to the advance in prices.
Oats-There was a good active market
given for oats, but not the slightest sus-
picion of independence was displayed.
Wheat started the advance and main
tanned the strength right up to the close.
Provisions were dull, refusing TO be
moved to the slightest show of sympathy
with the strength of the grain market. In
fact. it looked as if d considerable de-
cline was alone prevented by big adj
vance in wheat.
Estimated receipts tomorrow: Wheat,
IS cars; corn, $50 cars; oats. 20 cars.

FAIRCHILD & HOBsON's LETTER.

Especial to Austin Cotton EXchange.)
New Orleans. Nov. 10.-Notwithstand-
ing a better Liverpool by three points
this morning, our market opened about
where we left off last evening and soon
lost = to points. The bullish features
were a rumor that Neil had reduced his
estimate 100000 bales and supposition
that the government report, due at II
o'clock, would point to reduced yield
from indications last month, but buyers
were doomed to disappointment, as the
Neill rumor was contradicted and the
commissioner of agriculture said that
while the report received would not adj
nit of a trustworthy estimate of yield,
they were sufficient to indicate somewhat
more than indicated by the report to the
department last month. On this there
was rush to sell out early purchases
and the market broke sharply from 7.SSc
to 7.70c for January, with but small re-
actions. Tomorrow's market will depend
much on how Liverpool takes the unsat-
isfactory government report of today.

SHORT TALKS on ADVERTISING.

Advertising by circulars and such
things undoubtedly is sometimes proht-
able. In the manufacturing or Jobbing
business this is more likely to be true
than not.
The retail merchant needs quicker,
surer, less expensive method, ana he
finds it in daily newspapers.
There is no method of advertising
which costs so much and so little at the
same time While the expenditure may
have to be greater in the newspapers,
the amount of publicity received IS
doubly as great in proportion TO the
price as that to be had in any other way.
An exact example will do more TO
make this clear and to prove it true than
columns of talk.
A shoe dealer on Sixth avenue, New
York, wished to advertise his store. lie
purposed sending out q series OF circu-
lars. one each month, for nine months.
There were 5000 circulars sent each time.
and the cost for the series of nine, inclll9-
ing postage, was about 5000. For this
sum he reached 5000 people nine times.
For the same amount of money ne
could have placed five inch ad IN me
Sunday issue of paper having guar
anteed, sworn circulation of over lOO,-
600 copies every issue for thirty-nine
issues, covering the same period that the
distribution of his circulars did:
Contrast the $4,000 circulation lie
secured by the circulars with the 1901
600 circulation he could have had in the
paper, and you can see how great mis-
take he made. There is nc. question
about the fact that he wo1ld have re-
ceived ten times the benefit from. the
advertising that he did from
the circular. 1t is the only logical con-
clusion. VI ., -
Sometimes circulars are good, but
whenever you are contemplating issuing
one sit down and figure up the possible
ties-see how much space and how much
the cost OF the circular would
buy in The Statesman. i
You will find in every case that
reason and common sense will be in favor
IF using the paper. BY doing 80 you
will reach nine-tenths of the very people
% whom you would address circulars,
md you will reach ten times as many
,ther people to whom your circular
would not have gone at abby Charles
