BULL SUPPORT LACKING

New York, November 1.-THE cotton
market was less active today with senti-
ment much unsettled and fluctuations very
irregular in response to comparatively
small orders either way The close was
barely steady at a net decline of 1Od12
points.
The market opened steady at an adj
vance of l point March. but generally
unchanged to II points lower, with the
active months selling to points lower
as a result of disappointing cables, L.
quotation and local bear pressure. lot
of buying orders reached the ring at the
initial decline owing to the strength of
the southern spot situation, as reflected
by yesterdays late reports, and inside of
the first half hour the market had rallied
to net advance of to 10 points. The
western belt forecast for frost suggested
that talk of Texas top crop might soon
be ended and this helped to sustain the
market during the morning. But bull
leaders appeared to be giving prices no
support of consequence, local profession
ais were consequently inclined to take the
short side for a turn, Liverpool was
seller here, and there was a gradual sag
ging off to a net loss OF about 9015 points
during the early afternoon.
The appearance of Wall street buying
orders around this level started covering
by early sellers and there was a sharp
rally to a net gain of 6qS points but as
soon as the Wall street orders had been
executed the market turned easy under
renewed liquidation and local selling with
prices in the late trading at net loss of
10@17 points on active months. The close
was at practically the lowest. Southern
spot markets officially reported early
were unchanged to ISc higher, but set
claim that spinners are Withdrawing from
the market and that the spot situation is
at practically deadlock.
Receipts at the ports today, 49, bales,
against 6S,9Ss bales last week. and 1888,

SHARP ADVANCE
IN WHEAT MARKET
Damage to Argentine Crop Is
Factor In the Upturn
STRONG TONE PREVAILS
Wet Weather in the Corn Belt and
Advance In Wheat Brings Strength
to Corn Prces-Oats and Pro-
visions Close Strong.

Chicago, November 11.-Fresh confirma-
ton of damage to the Argentine crop of
wheat by locusts created considerable ex-
element in the wheat pit here today and
resulted in sharp advances in all deliv-
1870, compared with yesterdays final fig
ures. Coarse grain and provisions also
closed strong.
The new claims of injury to the Argen-
tine crop of wheat were contained in a
cablegram to a local concern and esti-
mated that the crop in 20 per cent of the
wheat area of the country had been seri-
ously damaged by locusts.
Demand for the December wheat deliv-
that option advanced from s1.09a4 to s105
within the first half hour. Prices reacted
at times owing to realizing sales, but a
decidedly strong tone prevailed through
out the entire session. The top for De-
cember was reached at 1o5l4 The close
was strong, with prices about Ac below
the best marks of the day.
Wet weather throughout the corn belt,
the bulge in wheat, light receipts and an
improved demand for the cash grain i'm
parted considerable strength to the corn
market. Shorts were eager bidders
throughout the entire session. The mar
ket closed strong with prices ssq1ac to
&c above the previous close.
An excellent shipping demand and the
strength of other grain inspired fairly
active buying of oats, resulting In moder-
ate strength all day. Prices at the close
were A0ssc to Sc higher.
Provisions were strong all day with
pork displaying unusual buoyancy. Short
ages of 100000 in the packing of the last
two weeks was an influential factor. The
strength of grain also had bullish ef-
feet. Prices at the close were 71s@S5c
higher than yesterdays final figures.
