The prevailing premiums on some of the in. dustrlal Eocks in the loan crowd kept the shorts uneasy. especially in some of those stocks which were sold most freely last week.

There was a special accumulation of Louisville and Nashville and the accompanying strength of Nashville, Chattanooga and St Louis gave color to the supposition that an early dividend distribution on that subsidiary stock is in contemplation The rise in the money rate to 9 per cent was practically ignored in the trading as 1t was attributed to the arrange ments for the December settlements which funds it was expected would return in a few days to the money market.

 NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 3o.-There is an un- questionable inclination on the part of the leading cotton markets to adopt an independent course and traders are left without that guid- ance which parties usually afford while sea- sons are at the busy period. This condition adds materially to the perplexities Of the situation and conduces to the exercise of ex- treme conservatism in speculative commit ments. Tho chief item of news today related to or rather emphasized the shortness of the crop and faith in that view was Illustrated by the incessant demand which absorbed of- ferings in a determined fashion. sending prices to c higher level amidst the astonishment of a multitude of traders who never thought 1t possible to record such quotations at this time of the year prevail at present. It Is with out doubt a remarkable state of affairs. Cot ton is moving in such quantity that would or- dInarily strengthen belief in a large yield, but news from the fields is 30 positive in the opposite view that a moderate or short crop Is in the majority of instances. taken for

 NEW YORK, Nov. 3o.-Prices today reached the top on the crop. If this means anything. it means that prices are going higher. When Q market reaches a certain figure. breaks and then goes back above that figure, 1t generally means a bull market with higher prices on the way. This reasoning seldom fails. Had the market stopped at l 80 after touching .45 on the bulge, ten days ago. we should say the bull market was over for the time being. But with I.55 quoted today, it looks very much as though further advance was pending be- fore the Washington report. We would hardly buy on this bulge. though believing in much higher prices eventually. It is generally a good plan to even up before the Dec. 3rd figure and look on. This year the position is altogether too strong to permit break and all the cot- ton sold has been taken readily at advancing prices. Today the early buying was done by the big traders and then this cotton came out on the advance. The best people in the busi- ness are believing In higher prices this year We cannot change our ideas on the market It is no market to sell any short cotton, but on such bulges as this before the Washington figures, 1t seems like tempting providence not to take profits on long cotton.

 CHICAGO. Nov. so.-Big clearances and an urgent demand for the cash articles were fac- tors that combined to create an exceedingly strong tone in the wheat pit and May closed with . gain Of tK0IAc May corn and oats were each up ifc, while January provisions closed from sa7H to lo0I2Mc higher.
 Trading in wheat was on large scale and the market exhibited decided strength through out the entire session. Rumors that the lead ing long had shipped 8 large amount Of wheat from store houses to go East caused uneasiness among December shorts early in the day and efforts on the part of such interests to cover sales resulted in a quick advance. There was early selling by St. Louis houses on the ad- vance, but offerings were well taken and the selling pressure was soon ended The news was very bullish and prices continued to move upward. Small receipts in the Northwest, bull influences during the latter part of the day. After ranging between eoM and SlA, May closed with a gain of ih9lh at SlM. December closed i&9Ih hc higher at S2Go2h. Clearances of wheat and flour equal to 776,ooO bushels. The amount on passage de- creased I.224.ooo bushels. Primary receipts were s4ssoo bushels against ,,s ,,;S,S sSo s0S sS Chicago reported receipts of l,l79 cars, against .4o2 ears last week.
 Covering by shorts on the strength in wheat ruled strong There was plenty of December for sale early. but not much wanted. Steady cables. decrease of about quarter million cash demand helped to maintain the higher level of prices. The close was strong with May hc higher at 42h. after selling between 4i% and 42M.
 Oats were Arm along with the strength in wheat and corn. A big local short was the best buyer and offerings were light and mostly from scattered sources. Receipts were small and the cash demand somewhat improved. Af- ter ranging between 3Sh and 36 May closed 1sc higher at 35%@36M
 Small receipts oe hogs and an advance of from o to i5c in prices at the wards started shorts to cover early in the day and hog pro- duct values showed good gains. Offerings were small and mostly in the way of the profit taking by people who bought last week. While all of the advance did not hold. the market ruled strong and closed higher.

 NEW YORK. Nov. 3o-Prices went of to- day when business was resumed. The foreign advices were for the moment discouraging to buyers. Liverpool for some reason was tend ing downward and bears took advantage of this. Meanwhile the movement kept up pretty we'll but crop estimates ran low and nobody cares to sell except in . small way of the short account in advance of the bureau report on Thursday. which Is expected to be sur prise, even to the majority Of the bulls. What ever recesssions may occur in the market, tt Is confidently expected that prices will advance sharply. Best people look for . small crop and a bi gdemand from consuming quarters when they become convinced of the shortage. It may require until January before they recognize their danger. however. The market recovered in twinkiing from the early loss; in fact there was eager buying by the shorts and the situation changed to one of decided bullish- n sss Sellers were few. Numerous reports of active and higher spot markets were at hand. The movement was big on the whole, but very light at Savannah. Charleston and several in. terior towns. A New Orleans paper estimated the crop at looo4. 900 bales Cables were steady at the close at los points lower. Man chester was steady. shortly after noon there was renewed buying for long account and price made new season records. January sold at lt.5o. March advanced to lt.62 and Au- gust sold at l.oe. There was slight reaction after these high prices, but sellers were scarce.

 NEW YORK, Nov. 3o.-The local market for cotton futures opened easy in tone today with first prices at decline of l0lo points. There was quite line of liquidation and some little bear pressure was noted. Later, however nere was a complete turn of af- fairs. Great activity and excitement became evident. and prices in a number of instances made new high records. The excitement in the active months was quite spectacular and professional interests fairly scrambled ali over themselves in a wild desire to buy or sell the staple The relative weakness in Liverpool dis appeared as feature early In the day Shorts rushed for cover and the recognized bull in- terests bought heavy lines of the staple Prices were bid up in leaps and bounds. The south- ern interests were closely watched and much signincance was attached to their orders southern spot markets were strong, and the advices from nearly all sections of the belt toid or small crop. There was also talk of a squeeze in the near months and shorts were kept Tn state of nervousness throughout the oay. The late market was rather nervous but room interests were largely in control The es- timafed port receipts for the day were 6O. ooo. against %S' IT6 for the same day last year.

 NEW ORLEANS. Nov. So--The serious as- pect of the Russian-Japanese situation infiu- snced Liverpool unfavorably and caused heavy reaiizing by Egyptians. Our market, however, opened only slign.ly lower and subsequently, became strong on the New Orleans Times- Democrats crop estimate of 10. o40, GOO bales advancing 2403l from the bottom, closing at . net gain of 22923 points on the day The port receipts for the three days aggreRate 900, against Ioe. 900 last year and the nve leading interior towns during the same time received ei.ooo. against ~ 900 last year. The estimated receipts for tomorrow ct New Orleans. Galveston and Houston were large and as fair weather prevails through out the South the indications are for another heavy weekly movement. The large receipts and possibilities of war in the East were off- set by The Times Democrats estimate of 10, . o4O,o 900 and accentuated by the Io GOO GOO estimate of The Ginner and Miller of Mem phis. These estimates were construed as an- ticipating that Of the bureau to be issued on Dec and were instrumental in superinducing 2 steady buying wave throughout the session. Every one seems to be enthusiastically inclined and much higher prices are predicted eventu- ally The undertone Is strong, and the proba- bilities are that if the bureaus estimate is 10000. 900 or under that values will be en- hanced further.

Experiments In Feeding Horses.
In bulletin detailing the results OBJ
tanned from a series of experiments in
feeding horses, the North Carolina sta
ton draws the following conclusions:
Bronze hay gave as good results when
fed to work horses as timothy hay
Dat straw was satisfactory for feed
ing horses which did light work and
for those which were idle. One-f fourth
more grain was required to support
horses doing light work when they
were fed straw.
Barley was not equal to oats in feed
ing value per pound, but was nearly as
good. Mules did not relish barley.
Corn fed in connection with oats in
the proportion of 100 pounds of corn
to 125 pounds of oats had a greater
value than oats; 77.5 pounds of corn
squaled 100 pounds of oats when fed
10 work horses.
Whole wheat fed alone was an unsat-
isfactOry feed for horses. When ground
and mixed with bran in the proportion
Of two parts of wheat to one part of
bran by weight. it gave good results.
Bran and shorts mixed in equal parts
by weight was equal to oats in feeding
value.
