SHARP ADVANCE
IN WHEAT MARKET
Action Is Surprise to Majority
of Traders
FARM MOVEMENT LIGHTER
Bulge in Wheat Gives Firmness to
Corn in Spite OF Ideal Weather
For Harvesting-Oats Close
Firm-Provisions Steady.
FARM MOVEMENT LIGHTER

Chicago, November 6.-Tallk of prob
able falling off in the movement of
wheat in the United States next week
inspired active buying of that grain on
the board of trade today. which resulted
in material advance, prices at the close
showing net gains of Esd to 19sd. Corn
and oats closed firm and provisions barely
steady.
The action of the wheat market was
surprise to the majority of traders who
had expected prices to continue the down
ward course which had been Travelled
quite consistently during the week. Lead
ing elevator interests, however. gave the
market vigorous support and this brought
out active covering by shorts. Demand
was chiefly for the December delivery,
and the price of that option advanced
nearly 9 cents from the lower point of
the day. The December option closed at
s1.o3 after ranging between s1o1ss and
81 .0s1a
Early in the session the market was In
cllned to drag owing to the slackness Of
demand for the cash grain and because
of the Ohio report, which claimed con-
siderable increase In acreage seeded to
wheat in that state. Advices from the
west, northwest and southwest predicting
a lighter movement from the farms next
week were influential factors in starting
the late upturn. This prediction was given
more consideration in view of today's pri-
mary receipts, which aggregated 1,16l,00O
bushels, only trihe more than the fig
ures for the corresponding day year
ago.
The bulge in wheat caused moderate
f1rmness in the corn market during late
trading and resulted in net gains of 1sc to
1a0DAc at the close. The feature of trad
ing was buying of the December delivery
by local elevator interest. A cont1nu-
ance of ideal weather conditions for husk-
ing and marketing corn was chiefly re-
sponsible for the slight weakness early
in the day. Predictions of an increase in
the movement next week helped to de-
press prices at the start
Trading In oats was dull all day and
prices moved within narrow range. The
advance in wheat impaired mild firmness
to the market in the final hour. At the
close prices were a shade to 5sc higher,
compared with yesterdays final figures
Provisions displayed renewed strength
early in the session, owing to urgent
covering by shorts. The principal demand
was for lard. Late in the day easier
tone developed on proft-taltng, and at
the close prices were &c higher to 5Q71zo
lower.

BIG OPERATORS SELLING
Heavy Liquidation Has Been the Rule
During the Week, With General
Losses of SIS to e5 Points From
the Highest.
BIG OPERATORS SELLING

New Orleans, November Spot cotton
quiet and easy, unchanged; middling,
1850; sales on the spot, $40 balesi to
arrive 500.
Futures opened steady at an advance Of
10 to Is points on favorable cables. With
the active deliveries, 10 to IT up soon
after the opening heavy selling COM
menced under which prices crumbled
away in a manner which put the mar
l5et in an uproar. The selling was I'M
doubtedly of manipulative character and
1t dislodged many stop loss orders among
the longs. The active deliveries fell
81 to 43 points, where they stood "a
to 30 points below yesterdays closing.
The runor was that near the bottom of
the decline a we'll known local operator
let go a big line of long cotton. Toward
the close of the session shorts TOOK
profits very freely, tightening their load
over the week end. This caused a par
tial recovery, the market closing steady
at a net decline of 20 to 81 points
Prices in the future market show a
decline of So to sc points compared with
last weeks closing. This is the result
of enormous liquidation following wild
speculation for rise. Bears took adj
vantage of the over-bought condition OF
the market and at times put out large
lines of short cotton which the ring was
unable to absorb. No news OF bearish
import was received during the week.
The declines were wholly in the nature
of a reaction. The gossip of the mar
ket Is that at the highest prices of the
season which were reached Tuesday,
leading operators on the long side sold
out, which started the reaction. At the
close of the week 1t was more or
two-sided market than for many weeks
past
In tho spot market prices show net
loss of only 1-16c which slight decline Is
due to the fact that spots did not fully
share In the rise in futures.
Sales on the spot this week amount 70
1880 bales against 5165 last week. Sales,
to arrive, 4450 bales, against 1920 last
week.

Hubbard Bros. a Co.'S Letter.

New York, November e-(Speoial.) AL
though the Liverpool market, In expec-
tation of a recovery on the ginners' re-
port on Monday, was better than expect
ed and the bull operators again bought
heavily on the opening at an advance
Of 10 and Is points, there was no with
standing the pressure to sell by outside
parties who were large buyers earlier In
the week. Their offerings fairly swamped
the buyers and on the ensuing decline
stop orders were caught which at one
time carried the market down some So
points from the opening. The close was
steady but New Orleans broke after
our close. SO rapid were the fluctua-
tons that the brokers were at times at
loss to execute orders. recovery
should follow such a break unless the
change of sentiment, which caused the
western and Wall street holders to sell,
extends to the south. One effect of the
decline will be to check the demand for
cotton goods, as merchants will stop to
take a fresh look. The large bull oper-
ators, Judging from their heavy pur-
chases, have not altered their view OF
tho situation.

Dry Goods.
New York, November e.-The sharp
drop in cotton caused a halt in the buy
ing of yarns but the weeks net in adj
vancing prices was very gratifying to
the jobbers It Is believed that IL the
cotton market will settle on a slightly
lower basis active buying In dry goods
will be resumed quickly. Linens are
in steady request. burlaps are higher.
Fine and fancy cottons are receiving
more attention from buyers. Amoskeag
staple ginghams have been priced at 7
cents and placed at value again.
