Cotton Market.

New York. Oct. 13.-The cotton mar
kat showed considerable irregularity TO-
day opening easy at decline OF Iop
pc;nts and further declined 3WS points
on the more active positions, EISilSh
cotton market adviceS being unsaus-
factory and early indications pointing to
heavy receipts with fears of glut OF
cotton to follow the raising of the the
quarantine. Later the market rallied
quite sharply on covering, while sellers
were scarce, fearing that a short slde
of the account had been overdone. From
tbe lowest to the highest prices there
was an advance of 50S points. Crop
news was not a feature. The market
was finally steady at net unchanged to
an advance of l point.
DRY GOODS.
New York, Oct. 13.-The dry goods
market is unchanged today in all de-
partments. The general demand is Of
indifferent proportions, both in mail o.
ders and store fading. The market sus-
tains its tone, however, in spite of dun
conditions, in nearly all grades. Conces-
sions are made by sellers only on small
lots and without heralding the fact. The
distribution at second hands is reported
fair from all portions of the country eN-
cept the South, and retailers have been
fairly successful in selling goods, in
spite of the mild fall weather which has
prevailed in some parts of the country.
locally. jobbbers report business rather
dull while reailers are experiencing a
fair run of business, this reversing the
conditions prevailing in most out of town
sections. Staple cottons are quiet IN
both brown goods and bleached. The
print cloth situation is unchanged. The
market is rather active at 212 cents COR
spot and future extras. Prints and ging-
hams and also woollen goods show no
change.

GRAIN AND PRODuCE

Chicago, Ills, Oct. 13.-Wheat today
regained almost precisely what it lost
yesterday, December closing at an ad-
vance of 11s. Large sales of wheat for
export and a revision by well-known
English authority of the surprising Wis.,
bic increase figures given out by Brad
street yesterday were the principal stimu-
lating influences. Corn was very weak
at the outset and the strength of wheat
only served to drag the market back to
yesterdays figures. Oats closed n cent
higher and provisions under good sup
port advanced 21a to 1917.

short contracts were instrumental in af-
fecting the recovery. But there were
also evidences of some buying for long
account. cry firm resistance was en-
countered in some of the stocks which

markedly true of Chicago Gas, in which
inside buying was large and prominent.

as last nights close, but the final sale

of a point, and was forced down at one
time over four points, but recovered to
about last night level.

was nothing in the news of the day to
change the general situation and the

ascribed to purely technical causes. Net

that the fall is due to forced sales by

position TO re-purchase at the present
level; but the market is demoralized for
the moment and closed weak.
