Chicago, April 16-wheat-Big ex-
ports and small receipts gave further
support to the wheat market today.
The opening was weak and considera-
bly, lower, but this was short-lived, for
prices advanced quickly to about yes
terday's closing prices. The Armour
element was credited with buying a
great deal Of wheat during the day
and shorts were thoroughly frightened
at times, and covered on liberal
scale. The continental were general
ly firm and higher. There was some
selling for profits on the better levels
but the long stuff was generally we'll
taken. Sentiment was mixed at the
close. Minneapolis aud Duluth re-
ported III cars against i61 last year.
Chicago IA cars with 20 estimated for
tomorrow. The estimated Argentine
shipments for the week are 2,400, 900
bushels. The weather map this morn
ing shows more splendid and favorable
conditions, there being but very little
rain in the past "a hours, and with the
present favorable outlook we believe
the deferred opt ons should DO sold.

ch,o.oo Grain and Provisions.

f-IITcACO Oct 0-Shorts fin December were on the anxious seat again today as the out come of small primary receipts and large pre- riums for cash wheat. The market was un- expectedly strong, the December option CLOS ing with a gal nof l@lhc. December corn ws. wn u oats were %RHc higher. but pro- visions continued their downward course tne January products closing from 10 to Isc lower. Al , -
 Active buying of December wheat by com mission houses and brokers caused a strong tone in that grain and as a result of the urgent demand the nearby deliveries rose 10 the leVei of the May option. Opening prices were nrm on steady cables December Delng @ unchanseu ~ to Xc higher at 77M@77% to 77AqI7A. There was a disposition on the part of the general trade to regard the early strength as joke and soalpers sold on the advance in expecta- tIon of a reaction But the frmness did not yield, and the character of the buying seeHieo to indicate support from one of the most prom inent bulls As a result shorts covered treely and the market advanced with the session, the big advances at St. Louis and Minneapolis together with the small primary receipts and the large premiums offered for the cash artlcIe were bull factors later in the day ana prices continued strong up to the close Final figures on December were up Iq b at IS%

 NEW ORLEANS. Oct. S.-As Liverpool was about expected. market opened un- changed to l point higher. sold off slightly and subsequently, improved 2@4 points on pre- dictlons of frost tonight in Northern Texas ties in the Atlantics. Notwithstanding this declined l29l6 points from the top shortly stock market and the restricted demand for spots. Later in the session fresh buying and shorts covering caused an adavncc of 617 points from the bottom, but near the close a small recession was agai nestablshed making the net loss 76S points the day. Liverpool cables today claim that short time in Lanca- shire Is over mills resuming. A decided fall in temperature reported throughout the greater portion of the cotton region and 1t officially predicted that frost would occur tonight in Arkansas and Texas and In sections of the Atlantic. Ordinarily such information would have been instrumental in occasioning a sharp advance. but the dscouraging f1nan- cial outlook, the pressure of receipts. the local labor troubles. and the apathy of spinners and exporters sufficient to overcome the same and superinduce a recession. Crop accounts continue of a pessimistic character and while on the whole the majority of operators seem to be in favor of cotton. there does not seem to be sufficient buying power for the moment to cause any marked improvement. The fear of a general killing frost and the possibility of unfavorable weather, setting fin have ten dency to keep the market in a feverish cond- tton The future course of the market will be regulated principally by the weather, receipts and the demand for spots.

 Rest of the Day.

NEW YORK. Oct, s.-The cotton market opened firm at a decline of points on No- vember. but generally unchanged to points higher on the nrmer cables less favorable weather and early estimates pointing toward smaller receipts. For . time 1t ruled fairly steady under further covering and bun support encouraged by the unfavorahle crop advices but after advancing to . level net POS points higher. demand sagged, and . sa&gink ten- dency developed which continued more or less in evidence during the rempinder of the ses. sion. Trading during the entire day was quiet and there seemed to be little demand from any source notwithstanding the buliish ter- dency of much of the news. The weather forecasts indicated frpsts for tonight over the Western belt and this was q factor in the early advance. But with little demand the reaIiz- ing of the room after the adavnces of yester- day In connection with some little pressure from bearish sources was sufficient to send prices of and at one time the general list was net 4d9 points lower. Just before the close there was a little rally on the steadier tone reported In the Southern spot markets and the market was finally steady. net unchanged to 6 points lower. Sales were estimated at 25o bales. The steadier tone at Liverpol was ascribed to further demand on the continent. while 1t was also stated that the English mills would shortly resume operations on full time. The factors operating against the market were the unsettled Wall Street conditions and the fact that receipts overran early estimates, amounting to some 5i ,6Ii bales, against St. 665 bales last year.

 NEW ORLEANS. Oct S.-The quick price changes in the cotton markets indicate to the careful observer that the parting of the ways is close at hand The forces in the cotton mar ket are more evenly balanced than for some time and may practically be said to be di- vided into two camps. The bears contend that no movement to put up the price can possibly That the war cloud in Europe and the far east forebodes much that finances are decidedly against a bull movement. that the country is passively at least enlisted on their side that the min man will not buy except at his own price and that buying in dry goods Is of the most conservative kind.

Bull support was noted in late op- tions and the more active positions maintained a strong tendency. The trade quieted down as the day on, but the general tone con- tinued quite steady.

 NEW YORK, Oct. S.-Prices opened higher on cables and cooler weather in the Southwest and forecast of still coler The temperature was considerably above the freezing point but we are so late in the season that frost may oc- cur at any time and when 1t comes it will probably cause general scale. There has been marked change in the temper of bears who are now beginning to believe that crop reports are deserving of greater attention than heretofore. These have been derided by many but they keep coming In from so many sections that they are being less ignored than hereto fore. Reliable adivces indicate that we are now at the point where mills going to buy cotton more freely and are disposed to pay ruling figures The movement is entirely too light and is making bears very nervous, uuti 1t increases materially there Is no chance for their increase and then the probabilities seem that they will profit little by growing belief that under no conditions will the crop prove an unwieldy one. Fear of 6 cold wave over plight held prices in check. Cables were 394 points higher. Receipts. 49. 900. against 5l 900 last year.
