MARKET FOR FUTURES
HEAvINESS IN LIVERPOOL
 CAUSED UNEASINESS.
Bad Weather Reports and Other Bullish News Soon Threw the Shorts on the Defensive.
 Closed at Advance.

NEW YORK, Nov I2.-The cotton market opened steady with prices l@4 points lower. an indifferent response to weak Liverpool cables and to selling orders from abroad. In explaining the heaviness there Liverpool houses stated that hedges were being taken off C.. l. f. cotton and sentiment was bearish under the big movement here. The market here soon showed disposition to work higher. Bad weather reports from the greater portion of the belt, rumors that the interior movement from now would be much smaller and claims that Southern spot markets were pick ing up new strength caused the shorts to abandon aggressive tactics and to assume the defensive. Buying orders came in from the South and Wall Street and room bulls sup ported the market with confidence. Before midday prices were slowly started back to nearly last nights bid under profit taking and light selling on the reaction theory. based on exceptionally large port receipts. But in the afternoon the market again turned firm on more bad weather reports from the central belt and for a forecast for much colder weath- CT in the western belt. January, the leading option. advanced to 75o and late months reached e high level with the market dis playing strength. The semi weekly interior towns figures were bullish. official reports from the South were frmer than expected and the export movement overran all ideas. Wall Street and the South bought cotton here on the second advance as did Liverpool interests and the West Trading was fairly active with goodly number of investment orders mo- ticed. In the last half hour the market settled back a few points under profit taking. The close was steady with prices net 3q7 points higher.

 NEW ORLEANS. Nov. I2.-Liverpool was against their spot purchases in America Our market. however. only opened 2gS points lower and subsequently, improved 0 on the fears of colder weather and lighter semi weekly interior receipts. The decrease being due entirely to the Houston deficit. owing to farmers and merchants holding pack in Texas
 Near the close easiness again set in mak- ing the gain 5d6 points the day. The ridic- ulously small receipts at Houston nave na- turally effected the aggregate interior move: ment but as 1t is well known that TeXas hold- CTS refuse to meet the decline 1t has no pear ing ultimately on the size of the crop. Not withstanding this the port movement con tinues large showing an excess Of 42 900 over last year for the first four days Of the week and the exports to Great Britain dur ing the same time have increased 6S,Ooo over against any decided enhancement in Liver pool the cotton afoat for that port IS very large and daily arrival of vessels from America is increasing the actual stock to sucn an eX- than last year. When it is constdered that the Liverpool stock has assumed sucn pro- portions as to dspel attempted manirulatlpn and that loGl5 per cent of the splhhets m in conseduence of unsatisfactory returns, there is nothing encouraging in the situatlol' especially it is well known that the s IeN- tile industry on the continent mas gone rom bad to worse.

Almost immediately. how ever, a stream of wheat began coming out were more than double those of the same day a year ago. Clearances were small and Brad at 5000 ooo bushels. Chicago stocks were considerably increased and the stream from the Northwest was unabated, Then the houses only support came from the pit itself A quan- tity was absorbed to stop the decline, but down to 7l%. closing weak inR@tA lower at 7l&.

 Corn was heavy. the influence of the Gov ernment report on the crop condition being blamed for much of the weakness, This re- els to the acre over s2 GOO GOO had been ex- pected and more bearish in itself than had been forecasted. This influence. however with weaker cables, brought decline for De- cember of hdA at the openins There was a moderate early support both local and by com mission houses and prices advanced E.

The decline in wheat added another straw to weaken the market and December closed at it's bottom price, weak Ih@I% lower at 5shG5s% Receipts were I50 cars.
 Oats showed considerable independence of other grains, though the heavy liquidation had some influence. Trade was good the cash sit uaton was strong and there was some profes- sional buying December opened hqk lower on fair offerings, reacted slightly on demand, but gradually weakened to 3e% on the pres in the other pits. Covering brought back the loss but at the close December was easy 16% lower at 39h. Receipts were 299 cars.
 Provisions were dull and ruled easier. There was a heavy run of hogs with lower prices. but this influence was modified by their light weight There was a small local demand both by packers and shorts.

R. M. Scale 6 Co.'S Cotton Letter.

NEW ORLEANS Nov l2.-Some surprises developed in the cotton market today and in the net result prices experienced a fair i'm provement which was entirely opposite to what the early outlook indicated Morning cables from Liverpool were quite discouraging stating in effect that the market appeared forsaken owing to poor trade, and speculative support having been exhausted. The fact that the barrier of pence had been broken was expected to be sianalized by rapid descent of values. but events took a different turn. The weather chart showed that rain had set in throughout the belt and predictions of colder weather with frost followed This feature created some timidity amongst shorts who proceeded to cover and the demand from this source reflected a steadier tone in Liv- erpool. Late cables reported prospects, of im- proving trade in Austria, which. with lighter interior receipts and a steadier tone of spots helped to stimulate the situation. Closing quotations are about points above yesterday
 The occurrence of unfavorable weather was quite opportune in as much as 1t prevented further decline which the attitude of Liver pool suggested. The improvement thus estab- lished however, is not regarded with favor and speculative assistance is restricted by the fear that spot holders will not cease in the effort to force sales they have manifested such determination on previous occasions. and 1t is not thought that today's developments will change their disposition Much doubt &C., cordingly exists about the present steadiness being ma intained,
