New York Cotton Future
New Orleans Cotton Market

New Orleans, November 22.-Cotton futures opened steady at decline of 8 to 12 points on poor cables. Shorts were aggressive and added to their lines on the first call. The weather map was favorable which served to remove, to some extent, the fear that conditions in the belt were shaping for another very bullish ginning re- port Bulls made no effort to support the market but in some measure con- tinue their proft-taktng, which they began yesterday afternoon At the end of the first half hour of business the more active months were il to IS points under yesterdays close.
 Pressure was kept on the market until the trading months were 14 to Is points under yesterdays close. At this level telegrams from New York were received stating that the impress sion there was that leading bulls were heavy buyers. This caused nervousness among shorts and they started cover ing. They found little cotton for sale and gradually bid the market up on tn emselves buying what profit taking longs had for sale. Helping to steady the market were many telegrams from inc interior of the cotton belt to the effect that ginning was practically over in not few important sections. At noon the more active months were un- changed to 3 points down, compared with yesterdays last quotations

WHEAT ADVANCES 0N
 ARGENTINE NEWS
Dry Weather Affects the Crop
 Very Seriously
EXPORT SALES LARGE
Corn Drops to n Lower Level on Ex- pectation of Larger Country Re- ceipts-Oats Are Higher
 and Provisions Lower

Chicago, November 25.-Drouth losses as great as 30 per cent to the wheat croI near Bahia Blanca, In the Argentine Re. public. put up the price of wheat here to- cay The market closed strong at a net advance of AqBc to 11sc Corn made ar irregular finish A@ssc down to 3sQAc up Oats were 1sc to 1sQ1Ac higher than last night and provisions varied from 1oc tc 121ac decline.
 Argentine news was the chief factor ir the wheat pit from the start. After a strong opening, there was temporary reaction due to corn weakness. but fresh grist of dispatches from South America brought out important buying. Almost at the same time export sales of 40 boat loads were reported from the Atlantic seaboard. Another circumstance that at. tracted attention was the continuance oi dry weather in the winter wheat belt Apparently scant regard was paid to 6 liberal increase In the worlds available supply figures. The nervousness of shorts became more and more evident and prices at the end of the session were within g shade of the highest point of the day The range for the May option, taking trade as a whole, was from 9sh@97iac with last sales 1@l1sc net higher, at s7si Q971hc.
 Because of assertions that a larger TUT of receipts could now be safely counted upon, corn dropped to lower level to- day than for several years. Big covering by a leading short, however. acted as ar offset. May fiuctuated from 4694e1so tc 4GssG46Ac, closing firm, shade up al 461k0469sc. The cash market was weak No. yellow finished at 51k@51%c.
 There was good trade in oats at prices governed by corn. A number of cash con- cerns were selling May and buying De- cember, the larger shorts purchasing the deferred option. May reached as ex- treme low and high figures ss1sc and S3Sc with the close at the last named quota ton, a gain of 1sc compared with 24 hours previous
 Foreign advices were decidedly unfa- vorable to sellers of lard. Otherwise pro- visions developed firmer tone. the result of scattered commission investment Latest sales were 5910o higher for pork 21sd121ac off for lard. and at 5c advance for ribs.
