COTTON MARKET
 |S NOT 50 ACTIVE
Fluctuations Are Narrow and
 Close Is Steady
CENSUS REPORT COMING
Probably Has Something to Do With the Days Trading on the Cotton
 Exchanee-GoVernment Re-
 port Due on December g.

New York, November 16,-The cotton market was not so active today and fluctuations were narrow with the close steady at d net advance of Il points on November, other months being l point higher to points net lower. Sales for the day were estimated at 175,OOO bales.
 The market opened steady at unchanged prices to decline of points in response to lower cables than expected but rallied on Wall street bull support and some scattering demand from southern sources, which was believed to represent covering or hedges. At one time the active months ruled about 2 to points higher, but eased off slightly toward the close under real izing. Fluctuations were within a range of about points.
 Southern spot markets officially report ed were generally unchanged,
 Uncertainty regarding the probable ac- tion of the New York revision commit tee at it's meeting after the close on Wednesday and with reference to the showing of the census report, which is due at the opening on Saturday morning, probably had tendency to restrict gen. eral business during the days session Estimates as to the probable showing of the census report range from 9750OOO to 1O,1OO,0OO bales. It is reported that the governments crop estimate will be pub lished on December g. Interior receipts are expected to show a falling off this week as compared with last, and bullsh authorities are predicting a general re- duction in the movement, and smaller interior offerings within the next three weeks.
 Receipts at the ports today 61, 142 bales, against 72,990 last week and 6S,3S4 last year. For the week 450,000 bales, against 476OO0 last week and 54,3S7 last year To- days receipts at New Orleans 2,005 bales, against 15,6S9 last year and at Houston 9,404 bales, against 16057 last year.

was traceable to reports of the orders received and the volume of sales of the company for the third quarter of the year, showing so large a decline from the corresponding quarter for recent years as to dampen enthusiasm. This report was also published last week but without ef- feet until today
 United States Steel continued to strug- gle against the consideration of the rapid rate at which it has already risen and the statement of its president that the present rate of activity had grown only to 60 per cent of capacity. Another reduction in the quotations for copper at the New York metal exchange and d severe decline in the price of the London copper warrants were accompanied by admissions from some of the large inter- ests in trade of a lull in demand from domestic consumers.
 The fact of this admission as much as the decline itself inspired the feeling that large interests back of the stock market were prepared to countenance a reaction. Railroal traffic officials gave some vary ing accounts of the rate of improvement in freight carvings. The foreign sales of stocks stiffened the foreign exchange market, but time money was little changed. Heavy deposits of money for redemption of bank notes at Washington made it evident that the notes outstand- ing against the treasury certificates which mature on November 20 will be retired for the most part instead of being kept out by substitution of bonds for the certificates, as the treasury ruling would permit.
 Bonds were irregular; total sales, par value, S6, ,626, GOO.

MIXED VIEWS ON
 STOCK MA 9KET Speculative Outlook Is Still
 Puzzling MANY SELLING ORDERS
The Origin of the Foreign Selling Movement Is Said to Be Caused By the Agitation Over the
 Kaiser's Actions.

New York November 16.-Mixed views over the speculative outlook found their reflection in the somewhat irregular tone of the stock market today. The contents of letters and circulars from stock com mission houses show the growth of con servatism in that element, due to the ex- tent and the rapidity of the advance in prices which has occurred since the elec- tion. Point was given to this advice by the reactionary tone of the market at the close of last week. The result was the receipt of a fair volume of selling orders from outside sources with the opening or the week. The selling orders cane from abroad as well.
 The origin of a good part of the for egn orders was ascribed to Germany, where the agitation over the kalsers course was said to be a disturbing factor The early decline which these selling or ders caused gave place to recovery later The upward movement was constrained and languid by comparison with last weeks vigorous movement and the prom thence of stocks of a minor grade in the rise left it with less convincing power on sentiment toward the market. Even when it was sought to remedy this by bringing forward again the highgrade railroad stocks it was evident that they were not so readily moved as was the case last week Specific reasons fog the check to the speculative accumulation were not clear.
 It was based apparently on the general extent to which distribution had been going on at the high level of prices and the suspicion which such distribution caused that the market would enjoy less fostering care from the powerful inter- ests which have had it in control all through the summer and up to the time of the election. Attention reverted also to some of the incidents of last week which were ignored or overcome by the flood of the speculative demand then pre- vailing. The court decision that the American Tobacco company is in violation of the Sherman antitrust law is receiving closer attention and the further study of it's contents intensifies the impression of it's wide scope and the sweeping appli- cation it must have to all the great cor porate formations.
 More attention was given also to the question of tariff revision and its probable bearing on business activity and on spe- cial interests. News of the government suit to collect back taxes from the Amer ican Sugar Refining company weakened that stock. A decline in General Electric

PROVISIONS ARE STEADY
Enormous Receipts of Live Hogs at Western Packing centers Cause Weakness In Provisons-A
 Rally Comes Later.

Chicago, November 16-Liberal receipts Of wheat in the northwest and south west caused weakness today in the local market prices at the close being down 5se, compared with the previous close. Corn and oats were also weak but provisions closed steady.
 Following a slight advance at the open ing, the wheat market was weak the re- mainder of the day, pit traders in general being disposed to sell. Offerings, how ever were held in check to some extent by continued dry weather in many parts of the winter wheat belt and by d report which claimed a 20 per cent decrease in acreage seeded to wheat this year in Kan sas, compared with the previous year. There was no evidence of selling by the leading longs and trade during the great CT part of the session was quiet The total absence of export demand and the dullness of flour trade aided in weak ening of the market The close was quotations on December being at 1O21s and May at $1.07. Minneapolis, Duluth and Chicago reported receipts of 114S cars, against 119O cars last week, and 646 cars year ago.
 Corn opened firm with wheat but soon weakened on profit taking and continued weak the balance of the session. Cash houses reported that consignments from the interior were larger and for the first time this season offerings of corn from Iowa to arrive were received. Prices at the sample tables were 1sc lower and east ern demand was very slack. The mar ket closed weak at the lowest point with December 5sQa4c lower at 625sc May closed at 621ac. Local receipts were POP cars with of contract grade
 Oats displayed moderate weakness in sympathy with wheat and corn. Increased receipts also had a weakening influence. Demand for cash oats was slack and prices at the sample tables were steady to 13c lower. At the close December was Ase lower at 4Sa4c. May closed at 50Ac. Local receipts were 1S7 cars.
 Enormous receipts of live hogs at western packing centers caused weak ness in provisions early in the day. The market rallied later, owing to demand by grain pit traders, but eased off again on the heavy tone of corn. At the close prices were 21ac lower to 21hc higher.
 Estimated receipts for tomorrow Wheat, 70 cars; corn. 271 cars; oats, 265 cars; hogs, 27,000 head.

Hubbard Bros. 6 Co.'s Letter.

New York, November 16.-Our market opened steady in face of disappointing advices from Liverpool which market re- covered on buying orders from here. Ear ly in the afternoon a small advance oc- cured under buying from the west and Wall street houses. The close, however was practically unchanged as the demand met a few selling orders from the south. This selling on advances from the cotton belt has been the feature of the past few weeks and has prevented the bullish sen timent in the north and west from bring ing about a further advance. While the local feeling is less bullish, there is no disposition to sell the market short.
