WHEAT ADVANCES
 IN ACTIVE TRADING
Close Is Firm at Almost High
 est Prices of Day
FOREIGN NEWS BETTER
ing Higher in Sympathy With whest-Oats Close Higher;
 Provisions Irregular

Chicago, November 4.-Attempts to fol- low leaders rather than news gave the wheat market unusual action today; weak and strong turns coming in quick success sion. Notwithstanding suspicion that the leaders had been feeding the pit the close was firm at nearly the highest prices reached. and with a net gain of ss@xc. Latest figures for corn showed ss6Dhc advance. and for oats ts@Ac. Provisions finished 21sG5c dearer to 15c decline.
 More unanimity was seen in the cover- Ing of short wheat than at any time in some days. Foreign news was less de- pressing than expected, but the export level was not yet In sight. and there was much nervousness all day. At one stage dry weather in the southwest started a bull furry which, however, suddenly gave place to the worst weakness this season. The ostensible reason for the collapse lay in the publication of Ohio and Michigan reports telling of fine con dition of growing wheat. Then came a scare which lasted until the gong cleared the floor. Purchases on large scale by a big elevator concern were accompanied by reports that flour was being taken at G0lHHtdpouS TOT shipment 10 EuTOpe. Ine final rushing up of prices covered the en- tire range of the day. December huctua- tions ran from SIC to sS1sc, with the close Hc net higher at SSsso.
 Corn was stubborn all day, at no time selling lower than the close yesterday, and finally advancing with wheat Light ness of country sales continued with abatement December ranged from 4ss4c to 47xc, and finished 1tc up at 47l4c. Cash corn was steady No. ? yellow closed at 501ac.
 There was considerable covering by shorts in oats. Prices followed the course of corn. December sold between S1s9 31Ac and 311ac, with last sales at 311sc, a net gain of Nc.
 November lard showed heaviness, and in the end was down 121k915c. Otherwise provisions kept just little taut.

FURTHER ADVANCE
 IN COTTON MARKET
Buying Orders Are Attracted
 By Firmness in Prices
BULLS GIVE SUPPORT
Prices Gradually Work Up to High Level on Good Demand But the Close Is Below the High
 est Figures

New York, November 4-There was a further advance in the cotton market to- day, and while part of an early gain was lost. the market closed steady. with prices ranging from to 10 points above the closing figures of yesterday.
 The opening was steady at an advance of to 8 points on overnight buying orders, attracted by the firmness of yes- terday and in response to the relatively still firmer showing of Liverpool this morning. Owing to a poor wire service there was very little news except from Liverpool, and business was much re- stricted but the bull leaders gave the market support. There was some de- mand from abroad, local shorts showed a disposition to cover and prices grad ually worked up to net gain of about 15 to IT points, or to the highest level reached since the sharp bulge immedi- ately following owing to the census re- port last month.
 Private cables from Liverpool attrib- uted the strength there to the firmness of southern markets, and a better de- mand from Manchester, which was in line with reports reaching here from the south late on Thursday, but in the ab- sence of private wires there was very little news from the south itself and the market eased off from the top during the afternoon.
