 NEW YORK, Oct. 2S.-On Monday we had the advance. yesterday the break. today both weakness and strength. It Is hard market to guess and 1t Is a small wonder that prices flow around in a very uncertain fashion. While not as weak yesterday during the morning, the market was not strong and a lot of cotton seemed to be for sale any advance. The feature of the day the Buston estimate of Ii,25o, 900 bales which rumored yester- day. Last year Buston's estimate was l.- 500 900 and with a late frost much more. The frost was late and yet the crop turned out less than lo,7oo. oo0 Last year nearly every one looked for a crop anywhere from lo.75o,- 900 to I.250 900. But this year you can hardly place money on bets that the crop will be ,OOO, 900. In fact, any amount of money can be had that the crop is not TO- 900 GOO This report on cotton is not in line with what the ma jority believe. For the moment, how ever, in view of the big advance in prices and amount of cotton that the South will be will ing, to sell, the figures are more than likely to cause a halt in the market We have had very cautiously above 10 cents It does not re- uufre a great stretch of imagination to pie ture a reaction to 9A from ioh cents and still have cotton sell at all sorts of figures in the Spring of the year. Spot markets are firm. but domestic spinners don't come in as one would like to them. The crop Is not believed to be liberal one and for this reason short side will hardly be popular. We would only buy on a good reaction from these figures. If the market halts just here a reaction Is more than likely. Trade today more lim- tied and operators were conservative on both aide.

The tone

Still selling was not aggressive and until near the close the market ruled about steady around the closing prices of the previous night with trading very moderate. Then Wall Street turned heavy sellers and prices weakened rap idly with the market closing at practically the lowest prices of the session. It was steady at the decline and showed a net loss of 69 0 points. Sales were estimated at 400 900 bales

Buston's estimate or will they be guided oy the pessimistic crop advices circulated gem crafty by private parties throughout the South The future course of values will be regulated principally by what the consumers of the raw article will do While sentiment still con- tinues extremely bullish. the indications of an increasing movement and lack of outside spec uiation have restraining influence on opera tors favorabiy disposed to cotton Holders claim to have faith in higher prices and it therefore may resolve itself into a fight be- tween the producers and consumers. while the pressure of cotton and restricted spot, demand may depress the market further 1t will require but little incentive to again bring in fresh buyers.

Many interests who went short only s day or two ago were the principal buyers There was a noticeable degree of bull sunport rom the South and this added to the uncer tainty of the bears The bullishness was rather difficult to understand in view of the more favorable weather and the rather neavy receipts.

Chicago Grain and Provisions.

CHICAGO. Oct 26-The financial situation at St. Louis. in conjunction with the unset tied condition of December wheat there was a puzzle that kept traders here guessing today and wheat prices were largely influenced by the action of the Southwest market. With a fair rally there late in the day. the market here closed firm with December wheat Y high CT. December corn was up %@%. oats were $ higher and January provisions were from a shade to loc higher.
 Under the influences of the large export business of yesterday and more reassuring news from St. Louis in regard to the bank situation there wheat opened firm with a good general demand, December being up h9Kc at oo%G0oK. Traders watched carefully the ac- tion of the St. Louis market and when prices there began to decline soon after the opening apprehensions of further trouble seized the pit and a selling movement was begun which became general when the December option at St. Louis showed a loss of over a cent within the first hour. Prospects of increased receipts in the Northwest also helped in bring came weak, December declining to S0M. The uncertainty of conditions in the Southwestern market caused traders to withhold orders and await developments. which resulted fin a tame market toward the middle of the day with prices holding about steady. Late strength in corn with recovery at St. Louis caused fair buying by pit traders during the last half hour and the early loss was all regained De- cember closing Ac higher at 9oN. Clearances of wheat and flour were ekual to 329, 600. Primary receipts were I.3s9.7oo. against |,
  reported receipts of 77o cars, which. with local receipts of el cars-none of contract grade made total receipts for the three points of 66l cars. against e79 cars last week and 764 cars a year ago.
 The early strength in wheat caused firm tone in corn at the opening. but later with the decline in wheat there was considerable corn for sale and prices eased of. Predictions of a break in the present excellent conditions of weather and reports of a good cash business were strengthening influences late in the day and caused a recovery of the early loss. After selling between 43h643E and 44h@44x De- cember closed at 44k. a gain of %9%c. Local receipts were 3o2 cars. with 29 of contract grade.
 Oats were influenced mainly by the action of wheat and corn showing some decline early in the session and later rallying and closing at small gain. Trading was quiet and fea- tureless December closed Sc higher at 36k after ranging between 3SN and 36N. Local re- ceipts were l34 cars.
