Grain Letter

Chicago, Nov. 4.-The wheat nlarke5 opened steady today, the December ep- tion sban,ting at 9514@951s. This firmness was principally due to cable news, Liver pool showing but 5sd decline, while Paris came 8 centimes higher. Local receipts were Tight, but northwest arrivals were materially increased. The Price Cur ren1s weekly summary was bearish ssy- ing the widespread rains had improved the wheat crop situation decidedly. The improvement marked west of the MiSs.s- sippi river also had some bearisih ef- feet. Comparatively srnal offerings flad no buyers and the December option was senIt as low as 92 cents in a. very few minutes. Several dmporltant lines were ,uhrown over on the decline. The mar ket rallied almost as fast as it had de- clined. The ''bulp' cTqua bought a It. tile on the decline and this was sufficient to advance the price to 95. The break was rather mysterious affair and seemed so Frdicaite an artificial position for December wheat. The market sub- sequsntly eased off again to 941a and latter to 94. After tffs the market moved generally steady. The close was very steady at 94 bid for the December op- 'tion. H. H. SMITH & co.

Cotton Letter.

New York, Nov. 4.-Cetton continues to sag. Very heavy receipts, lower Liverpool and weakening southern mar kets resulted in another drop here to- day. Liverpool was half a point lower this morning. Our market opened about the same as the close last night, Jan uary selling on the first call at o.i9. Short coverings caused temporary iln- provement after the opening and Janu- ary touched 5.S1, but free offering by the south started prices downward again and for the rest of the day the under tone of the market was weak. January declined to 5.74 and closed at 5.75 to 5.76, with the tone of the market steady. No relief from the gloomy outlook is dis cernible at the moment, but we are not of those who favor short sales.
