 Local stocks and bonds were quiet yes terday and the market was devoid of feat ures.

 Morris avenue was showed under with apples yesterday. All varieties were to be had at moderate prices, and there did not seem to be a particularly lively demand. Grapes, bananas and other fruits con tinue in evidence, although shipments were not heavy yesterday
 Sweet potatoes are proving a hard proposition just now. White are selling for almost any price, and even at that dealers have difficulty in disposing of their stocks. Yellow sweet potatoes are $2 to $2.25 per barrel with the market well supplied.
 Poultry was fairly plentiful yesterday There were no changes in quotations Hens are 30 to 40c each; large flyers 2S to BOG; medium. 20 to 25c; small IS to 20c. Turkeys are 121se per pound, but are not very plentiful as yet.

Baxter 6 co.,s Cotton Letter.

New York November 5.-So far as re- gards the weather situation. it Is having no bearing on sentiment at the present time. Bad conditions may affect the movement, as it always does, but so far as making or detracting from the yield temperatures or moisture are no longer worthy of consideration since it is gen. erally understood that the yield has long since reached its full limit.
 Higher prices are considered certain. It is not expected that we shall not wit ness frequent set backs, but the ques- ton of supply and demand having been determined and everything pointing to less growth than the world will require, the only conclusion is that prices will advance possibly by slow stages, but cer- tainly considerably above ruling figures. First price today were but slightly changed. Some profit taking was In evi- dence, causing a weak undertone but al- most immediately prices started to rise on general buying. Shorts were frighten- ed, frantically covering a few sellers re- maining. Prices simply scared until 20 to 30 points rise was shown, when reaction set In. Cables closed strong at IA points advance. The market at Manchester was hardening for yarns. Port receipts were 56,000 against 500O0 last year. The New York stock has been reduced to H,OoO

by ware x Leland.
 New York, November 5.-Although Lon don was heavy with free selling in steels the bank rate was unchanged at per cent. selling movement was inaugura- ted at the start, steels being picked out for attack with new low levels created on the securities and sentiment very bearish, due to reports of a number of furnaces blowing out and that severe cuts will be made on product. Republic Steel Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad equipments participated in the break, while there was selling in the rails, coal CTS and fractions. Atchison and St. Paul were also attacked. Bear rumors were numerous and the impression gained ground that Saturdays bank statement would make a distinctly unfavorab ble showing with the banks losing s5 153, coo to the sub-treasury since Friday, and the latter transferring $250,000 to St. Louis, $2OOOO0 to Chicago There was talk of s50O0,OO0 additional gold imports. The market was somewhat disturbed by the failure of the Pueblo Trust Co. of Pue- bio. Col. today that followed the clos ing of national bank at Victor There was a reduction of 5 points In refined sugar, while the belief prevailed that the steel rail people would reduce rails to s26 per ton. The announcement that wages would be cut among steel work CTS thereby it was thought precipitating strikes started another heavy selling movement in steels. Late in the session many stocks were under pressure with steels forced for sale and considerable uneasiness prevailed. The closing was very ragged, more especially in the in- dustrIals and strong support will have to be extended in order to prevent fur ther declines.
