MARKET FOR FUTURES SCARE OF THE SHORTS AT THE
 "a OPENING. They Were Not Prepared for Sud - den Fall in the Temperature q Prices Up to 9 Points
 at the Close.

New York. Nov. 2.-The cotton market opened firm at an advance of oefl points on a scare of shorts who were not pre- pared for fall in temperatures in the extreme Northwest to below zero. But soon after the call there was a reaction of 5li6 points under selling for both ac- counts, professional longs and shorts, seeing no sign of permanent strength in the market Tn the absence of new busi- ness through commission houses. The cable news from Liverpool was trihe better than looked for, and receipts in the South gave promise of falling off steadily from now on. The reaction i'll prices after the call carried January off to 7.42 and other months in proportion Still later the market rallied several points on conservative buying by insid- CTS and Hull in the selling pressure Trading was not active and for the most part was of d professional character. Fear that the cold wave in the extreme Northwest will work its way Southward during the over-Sunday adjournment. impelled shorts to seek safe ground as a matter of precaution.
 The market closed steady with prices net 7Q9 points higher

Chicago Grain and Provisions.

Chicago, Nov. "A small bull drive by professionals in the corn pit relieved the corn closed %c higher. December wheat &01ac advance, and December hN%c Up. Provisions closed 21ac lower to 21ac high CT.
 Corn ruled easier in the short session, December opening Is to Ac lower at STA to 571sc on weaker cables There was still present that disposition to. take yesterday and there was liberal selling all around, both by shorts and by trad CTS who wanted to clear up for Sunday. Commission people, however, held big buying orders and when attempts were made to fill them and nothing found on the market the bull clique began opera tions and showed December up to 5SlET 5S 1-4. There was a good demand and re- ceipts were still light December strong, %c advance at 5S1sc. Receipts were 101 cars.
 Wheat had dull, narrow market, easy during the early part of the session, and aided at the close by the bulge in corn. December opened a shade to ls6Ac lower receipts and a desire to liquidate over Sunday. Prices even eased off a shade interest. Primary receipts were almost double those of last week. and worlds statistics promise to be bearish Monday but in spite of these depressing, factors. when the raise in corn came wheat inn mediately responded and closed asa1ac higher at 70%c.
 Local receipts were l23 cars, one or con- tract grade: Minneapol and Duluth re- ported S97 cars. making a total for the three points of 1.020 cars. against last week and 6S3 year ago. Primary receipts were 1.130.00O bushels. compared with 715,000 last year. SeabOHrd clearances in wheat and flour were sos. 900 bushels Aus tratlian; shipments for the week we've 2H0,0o0 bushels, compared with 196000 last year.
 Oats were dull and steady, following indifferently the lead of corn: December opened 1sc lower on selling hy provision men and outsiders. but advanced on the corn upturn and closed firm hTs-c high CT. at S6s4 d36Isc. Receipts were 190 cars.
 Provisions had a dull dragging market on lower prices for hogs There was no special pressure on the lower opening. h''t enough was offered in the face of limit ed demand to keep prices down. Janu- ary pork closed 21a lower at IA 20: Jaru- ary lard 21k down at S60; January ribs 2l9 higher at 7.7od7. 721a Estimated re- ceipts for Monday: Wheat 12o cars; corn, S5: oats. 160; hogs. 35.O00 head.

Cotton Market Review.

By R. NJ. Scale & Co.,
 Another week has given the bears an ending that they themselves never dream ed of. Beautiful weather, heavy re ceipts, large crop estimates and again the cry of depressed trade in Manchester has all come to their rescue and 1t does look that every shot has been fired from their guns.
 The South continues to donate a much needed article to the exporter in way lieved in the large crop estimates now facing us every morning. In some re- ports from the bears we see in their cir culars that the trade refuses to believe in a frost injuring cotton now, owing to the plants advanced condition and then we see the market jump ten points over night on a cold wave scare from the West. This only goes to show that a very large short interest is now in the market and will seek cover on any kind of a scare. The contract as well as ,1,, the spot market Is very sensitive and Will respond to any kind of unfavorable weather or light receipts.
 Reports coming to us continue to bear out the short crop ideas, cotton picking about finished in many sections: and freely marketed, as shown by the heavy movement at the ports for the past, 20 days Just here it is well to remember that we have heard pessimstic ac- counts of trade abroad and no desire to repienish stocks: facts do not agree with the reports as we have seen the ne largest movement to ports in the past W days ever known, and the impression is left that people gre simply having cot ton hauled to port in order to give rail roads occupation.
 This movement will only add ammuni- tion to the bulish fire later on. when we will be compelled to face light receipts, killing frost and rainy weather. This week has given 559,0O0 bales to the spin ner around the lowest figures of the sea- son. and 1t ooes look as if spot holders would exercise little backbone and judgment in turning loose a 10,250,O00 crop when the world. according to Ellison, will consume O,600,0 around 7lRc, and very much more at lower figures. Again we repeat that cotton is compelled to sell very much higher, but cannot look for any decided bull market yet, unless more moderation is exercised in the sale of spot cotton.

The Financier,s Statement.

New York. Nov. 1.-The Financier says: The bank statement was made on rising averages for cash, there having been payment on Friday by the sub-treasury of about $1 800, 900 for bonds, the purchase of which was made under the order of October 31. Early next week at least q. 900. 900 will be paid for Yukon gold to the Bank of British North America and unless this money should be shipped to Canada or Europe it would remain on deposits unchecked. there having been gain in this item since September 2l. aggregating 5,937, 300. This increase seems most likely due. to foreign ex- change operations and to negotiations of loans upon securities by syndicates. The purchase of unmatured bonds by tho treasury which began on Friday last will probably tend somewhat to increas SC the cash holdings of the banks and pos- sibly to such an extent as to counter balance moderate withdrawals for ship ment to Europe. Should the foreign de- mand for gold be large, however. it can scarcely fail to have an important in- fluence on the bank reserves at least until currency shall return in volume from the interior. It should be noted that while the gold withdrawn for ship ment is direct loss to New York banks all the money paid for unmatured bonds does not remain in those institutions, a part thereof being distributed through out the interior, and considerable por- tion going into savings banks in return for the bonds they have sold. Hence the New York banks are likely to lose large ly should gold exports continue.
