Of course the tone fe verish but most of the day May sold at IA and in view of yesterdays break this wonderful recovery. Either the crop is way short and we are on the way to much higher prices or we have had big advance and fhis recovery is simply the aftermath. We confess our inability to decide the question. It would seem as though halt was due such enormous receipts as we are getting. But thhs all depends on the size of the crop, which no one knows If it is very short, why we can see 2-eent cotton before Christmas. but there are many factors at work here now that op- crate against a wild advance and 1t is an open question whether the actual supply is so deficient that a further advance mN take place, irrespective of big receipts,s weakening statistical figures. profit taking and unproit- able trade So far 1t loks though profit taking around these figures would prove wise 1t is strange position and one in which trader has nothing in his past experience to guide him. There is a big speculation and bulls have the money.

WALL STREET. REVIEW
PRICES ABOVE LEVEL OF THE
 DAY BEFORE.
Strong and Comprehensive Upward Movement in the Final Deal ings, the Close Being
 at the Top.

NEW YORK, Nov. is-Prices ruled above last nights Iewl throughout today's session ous minor nuctuhtions until the tendency of the market was clinched by Q strong and com prehensive upward movement in the final deal- ings. which carried prices to the highest level of the day, where they closed. Net gains of from l to 2 points are the general result. The market showed hesitation from time to time, chiefly on account of the rucrrent pres sure upon United States Steel preferred. This stock was carried down to 5ok soon after the opening and reacted to that point CT 1t several times during the day, each time with disturbing effect upon the market. Circum- stantial reports of e determination already formed to cut the price of steel rails had the principal effect upon the stock. The asser tion was made that orders on the books of the steel rail mills represent almost wholly the residue from orders for delivery last year. but carried over into the present year. The port of cut in black steel sheets was also an influence The resistance offered by the stock as it approached 50 was attributed to buying for account of the preferred stock con- version syndicate. The stock finally sympa- thized with the strength of the general market and rose more than a point over last night. The pool operations in a number of minor rail- road stocks was a continuing feature some of fected while others of the same class were added today. These movements in themselves had no great effect on the market, but the resumption of this kind of speculative activity is considered symptomatic of the easier con- ditions of the money market. Money could be had today for short periods for 6h per cent. while for longer periods the rates lower, but with practically business. With the easier tone in money and the recovery in ex- change there was an awakening discussion as to the probable termination of the gold i'm port movement Chicago reported . practical cessation of demand upon that center from the crop regions formerly and was believed likely that the gold already engaged would fulhli requirements. The total engagements have reached a total of s9. 900. 900. of which upwards of S6.6 l2. 900 Is still due to arrive. Heavy offerings of cotton bills weakened the exchange rate again and an additional S500.- 900 gold was taken in London for New York. This was probably a decisive influence on the late buying movement in stocks
 Bonds were dull and about steady. Total sales (par value) S2.6i6.ooo. United States 2s declined t and the old 4s per cent. on the last call.

MARKERS FOR FUTURES FL iCTUATIoNS WIDE DURING
 THE DAY.
 -S-- For Time It Seemed a New High Level Would Be Reached H But a Reaction , Came.

NEW YORK. Nov ls.-The cotton market oNened firm at unchanged prices to an ad- vance of points. chiefly as a result of very b&d weather reported from the western belt, yAere in some instances temperatures were rHDorted to be within about o degrees of zero Wth the chances favoring the cold spreading tR the entire cotton country. Private cables btWever. reported that Mir. Ellison had reduced hte estimate of the worlds requirements to about 10. $50. 900 bales and this took some of tAe edge of bullish enthusiasm as did also the fmdiRerent showing of New Orleans and the continued large movement. After advancing e#ether point or so the market, influenced by tNzEe factors was depressed to Q net loss of from to points on the active months when fkfwas again rallied as the estimated receipts f8f tomorrow were rather under expectations tNpugh still over last years figures. For a time it looked as though the market was going t8 reach new high level. The bulls were more aggressive, the room which had gone sls1rt early covered and buying orders were received from out of town. Before the advance was checked prices, showed net gain of 10 @hf3 points.

Chicago Grain and Provisions.

CHICAGO, Nov. is.-The prediction of small CT receipts in the Northwest was realized today when considerable falling off in arrivals of wheat was shown in spite of favorable weather for the movement and a result the market ruled strong, December closing at an advance or iA. December corn was up %@B, oats about unchanged
 The feature in trading in the wheat pit was the urgent demand for the December delivery while at the same time there was very little on the market. With the exception of the con- tinued favorable weather conditions in general favored the bulls, cables being high Receipts In the Northwest smaller and the cash de- mand much improved. There was a good scat tered demand for both December and May at the start and the former month opened # @Ac higher at 79@7SA. Outside markets were all ntgner with those at Minneapolis and Du- luth showing especial strength. Fears on the part Of December shorts that deal was about to be sprung on them by big local operator was the primary cause for the sudden anxiety to cover short lines and these fears were strengthened by the report from Duluth that a big line there held by this same prominent op- orator had been sold for Eastern shipments which would cut off this source of supply for filling December contracts. AZ the price ad. vanced there was considerable buying by com mission houses and during the last hour the price rose rapidly. December selling up to 7eh -..o close was at gal nof IKc Clearances of wheat and flour were equal tc I72, 900 bushels. Primary receipts were | .. 267'soo bushels. against I,5ls. 300 a year d6Os ouluncdpOllSs OuIutu ana SniCaRO report ed receipts of 63S cars, against S7o last week and S6I a year ago.
 During the early part of the session there was tendency on the part of the local bears to sell corn, influenced by favorable and lowe, cables and prices held steady. Late in the day the strength in wheat brought out fairly god demand and with smaller offerings the market became stronger and closing prices were at the top, December being up A@Kc at 42h. Local receipts were ISo cars with eight of contract grade. There was consider able buying by shorts in December oats and the market ruled strong, helped to a large ex. tent by the advance in wheat. After ranging between 33h and 34&. December closed TX @IAc higher at 34S. Local receipts were i cars.
 Provisions ruled steady at a small decline for all products. Liberal receipts of hogs and lower prices at the yards had depressing in- nuence. About the only feature was the sell ing of January lard by a commission house and buying by pit traders. January pork closed unchanged at $l .47k; lard was 2Ik0Sc lower at S6.65. with ribs unchanged at SC. 10.

SCHEME OF THE BEARS PLAN TO FORGE DOWN PRICE OF
 SPOTS. Southern Holders of Cotton Have the Power to Frustrate the Designs of the
 Spectators.

NEW YORK, Nov. Js-No more serious proposition has the South to consider than what we have already called attention to in recent letters to the Southern press, namely have been fighting the advance since the rise of cents per pound. are practically arraying themselves against the leading staple of the South and determined. if the selling of con- tracts will accomplish 1t, to force the spot holders in that section to sell the unsold DOT tion of the crop at lower prices, not to help the spinner. domestic or foreign, but that this bear element shall have an opportunity of buy ing in their contract at lower prices.
 This Is the issue and it is for the spot holder to determine whether this local bear combina- tiOn is to deprive him of his deserts in the way of high prices because of a crop under ten millions. and because of the enormous require ments yet thrilled by the worlds spinners.

 NEW YORK. Nov. Ie.-There was a firm opening to the market for cotton futures to- day First prices were at an advance of A points for the more active positions and thia betterment was the result of active covering for the account of shorts. The longs were fair buyers and there was some fresh business for the account of bulls. the latter attributinE their confidence to low temperatures in various parts of the belt and the fear that picking would be abruptly stopped. Furthermore there was some talk of an appreciable contraction in the movement Of cotton as Q result of temperatures Of 10 above zero in the western portion of the belt There was some prospects of a spread of the low temperatures. Liverpool, after e dis appointing early showing turned strong and the foreign advices on the close were quite bullishly inclined On the better levels in the local market. however, there was considerable realizing and selling for the account of longs The market declined under moderate pressure and subsequently, there was a rather irregular movement though the professional interests continued largely in control of the situation There was lot of talk during the day with regard to the extent of the yield and the prob- able extent of consumption. but for the most part the estimates continued very Conflicting and under the circumstances the professional trading interests were disposed to proceed slowly in the matter of accepting the advices of private. statisticians. The statistics for the week were still expected to be bearish The estimated port receipts for the day were 9C . 900, against 5s, 4o5 for the same day last year.
