lower than due and private cablegrams
from both Liverpool and Manchester ex
pressed fear of a protracted period OF
inactivity among cotton mills at the result
of the dispute between master spinners
and their operatives. The weather map
was favorable as 1t showed good rains in
Texas and In the central portions of the
cotton belt where drouth has been COM
planned of. Temperatures were high and
bears sold freely on what they said were
ideal conditions for keeping the crop
growing. At the end of the first half hour
of trading prices were 10 to Il points
under yesterdays close.
The early decline was followed by a
large buying movement in which spinners,
spot firms and speculative interests, both
professional and outside. took part. Local
spot firms admitted that spinners were
calling large quantities of cotton and the
spot market had flrmer tone with sell
lers asking higher prices and buyers
paying advances ON the moderate pur-
chases they made. Bears made no at
tempt to contest the advance, although
the news of the early hours made it look
for a while as If they would be put IN
temporary possession of the market.
Bulish traders and brokers said that
the rise was due almost wholly to the
growing belief In a short crop. They
stated that there was nothing in the
immediate situation to cause large rises
in prices. At noon the market was steady,
p to 26 points up from the lowest and
II to IA points over yesterdays close.
In the afternoon session longs took
profits freely and the market had ten
dency to react. At 2 o'clock prices were
to 10 points off from the highest and 3
to over yesterdays last quotations.
The close was barely steady at a net
advance of 1 to points.

WHEAT GOES HIGHER E
ON CROP REPORTS
Argentina Crop Is Said To Be
Very Badly Damaged
BEARS ON WRONG SIDE
Light Offerings of Country Corn and
Improved Exports Lead To Higher
Prices-Oats and Provisions
Also Close Higher

Chicago, October 4-Drouth damage In
Argentina, alleged to have wiped out %
per cent of the wheat crop there forced
Chicago for that cereal. AS result
bears here were on the wrong side of
the market The close was at a net adj
vance of 1111sc to 11sc. In both corn and
oats, final sales showed rise of 19Q5sc
to &c compared with last night Pro-
visions finished unchanged to 30c up.
The wheat market was in prime condi-
ton for a rally when the news from
Argentina came out. Considerable wheat
had been sold short here of late at low
figures and the sellers were nervous about
it. Reports of 10000 bushels decreased
in European visible supply formed a
strong contrast with an increase of H.
100000 bushels a year ago. Primary re-
ceipts of only half those of IL months
ago added to the tension on the part of
the shorts. Then, too, flour business was
exhibiting Improvement and European
markets were generally higher. The bulls
got little comfort from a gain of 6,2SS, 200
bushels in the worlds stocks as during
the same week last year there had been
an increase of 17,3e0,0oo bushels. Each
dip in prices was followed by an upturn
until the tone of the trade changed and
genuine buying furry had control OF
the pit when the gong shut off the eager
bidding. December ranged from 961sc to
971sc, and closed 11sc up at 97asQ971zc,
with the feeling decidedly firm.
Country offerings of corn. light before
the rains, dropped off sharply then. There
was a sprinkle of export trade, the mar

from the interior. partly by the wet
weather and partly by the better shipping
