FRESH SLUMP IN
WHEAT MARKET
BeariSh Reports of Fall Sowing
Are Coming In
CORN AND OATS WEAK
Break in Wheat Comes During the
Last Hour of the Tradina-Liqht
Receipt in Hogs Affects the
Provision Market

Chicago, November 5.-Liberal receipts
and bearish reports concerning the fall
sown crop in this country caused a fresh
slump in wheat prices on the board of
trade today. At the close prices showed
net losses of ~ to "a cents. Corn and
oats also closed weak. Provisions were
also weak.
The break in wheat occurred in the
final half hour, when prices dropped about
cent from the high point of the day.
The December delivery was again sub
jected to the greatest selling pressure
and sold off from 81 .0215 to 81. 011401 .O1ss.
The market closed at almost the bottom,
the final quotations on December being
at 81 OBS.
In the first half of the day consider
able hrmness was displayed and shorts
covered freely. The demand was based
on firm cables and reports from receiving
houses that country offerings had fallen
off perceptibly in the last few days. An
estimate on the worlds shipments of
wheat for the week which pointed to
total exports aggregating nearly 100000
bushels also had a weakening effect
Corn was in fair demand during the
early part of the day, shorts and COM
mission houses being moderate bidders
The buying was brought out chiefly by the
comparatively light offerings of both old
and new corn In the country, although
In the final hour of the day sentiment
veered and prices reacted considerably,
the December delivery declining ss of q
cent from the high point of the session.
A report claiming an unexpected increase
in the yield of corn in Illinois. Iowa
and Indiana was mainly responsible for
the weakness. Prices at the close were
almost at the bottom and showed net
losses of * to ss0h cent.
Trading In oats was dull and prices
followed the course of wheat and corn.
The close was weak with prices 1sQ5l to IS
cent lower than yesterdays final figures.
Sensationally light receipts OF live hogs
in the west-total arrivals today being
$4,000 head less than the figures of the
corresponding day a year ago-caused de-
cided strength in the provisions market
at the close prices were up to 371s
and cash interests also bought that prod.
uct Sentiment was bullish all day and

New York, November 5.-(special.)-
Liverpool astonished every one by break
ing some % points before the opening.
but large buying orders were quickly sent
from this side. causing rally of 10
points. Support was also given here at
the opening which prevented break and
rallied the market some 80 points on the
low level Rumors were that the advance
would reach 15h cents tomorrow during
this Improvement but aggressive support
was lacking and a shrewd idea became
current that the buyers were supplied
on the purchases of this morning then
selling on the long interest Wall street
and the west carried the market to the
lowest point of the day at which 1t
closed. The market should improve to-
morrow before the government ginners
report due at the opening on Monday, al
though it did not act as good today as
expected during the rally of the morn
ing.

COTTON MARKET
STILL DECLINES
Fluctuations Are Extremely
Erratic During Day
OPENING IS IRREGULAR
At One Time There Was a Good Net
Advances But the Closing
Showed PerceptbIe
Net Decline.

New York. November sit was an
other very excited day in the cotton mar
ket and fluctuations were extremely err
ratio. At one time prices showed a net
advance of about IS to 2S points. But
there was renewed weakness later with
active months reaching the lowest figures
of the day, and with the close weak at
q net loss of to 80 points.
The market opened irregular at de-
cline of II points to advance of
points: most of the active months show
ing losses of from IL to Is points as
compared with last nights close, right
after the call, as a result of enormous
outside liquidation caused by yesterdays
sudden break and consequent big calls
for margin. But southern bull leaders
were aggressive buyers during the early
trading, the national ginners' report was
bullish, offerings gradually became small
er, and after the end of the first hour
the market developed firmer tone 1t
looked as though many sold-out bulls were
replacing their cotton, while yesterdays
sellers for scalp were covering. AT
any rate January contracts sold up from
IA. 42c, the low point of the morning, TO
1473c, shortly after midday while May
advanced from 14.73c to 15c. This was
soon followed by second severe break.
owing to the fact that the support from
bull leaders was withdrawn on the adj
vance. while early buyers turned for
profits, and local bears became aggres-
sive on the theory that liquidation was
not yet completed, and that the bulls
had helped the rally to make selling
basis The market closed with January
quoted at IA. 40c and May at 14.70c, or
80 to SO points below the best prices of
the afternoon. Numerous southern adj
vices reporting that interior holders were
not following the decline in futures helped
the improvement during the early after
noon and weekend figures were bulish.
