GENERAL REACTION
 IN COTTON PRICES Net Advance of g to 16 Points
 Is Registered EARLY PRICES HIGH Offerings Are Heavy Very Soon After the Opening and Prices Decline
 Little But Good Gains
 Are Made
EARLY PRI'

New York, November 16.-The cotton market was f1rmer today, recovering practically all of yesterdays loss on mod crate demand from shorts. trade inter- ests and local bulls, accompanied by claims that the market had discounted bear report from the census bureau next Monday. The close was firm at a net advance of 8 to IS points
 The market opened steady at an ad- advance with early buyers taking small ish foreign trade advices, and soon worked up to net advance of 12g15 points on covering by recent sellers, puy- ing by foreign and domestic trade in- terests and bull support inspired by the steadiness of Liverpool and an idea that liquidation had been pretty well com pleted on the decline earlier in the week. Offerings became a little heavier on the advance with early buyrs taking small profits owing to the failure of the upward movement to attract a broadening outside demand. but the market reacted only or points from the top and later frmed up again with the close at practically the best prices of the day.
 The buying late in the day was prob ably encouraged by rumors that the last figures of the National Ginners' assoeia- ton pointed to a total ginning of s,950.- 900 bales to the close of business on Mo- vember 12, where as yesterday the trade was talking ginning report next Mon- day of 100000 bales or over. and numer- ous private reports from the south indi- eating an unusually large percentage of the crop ginned, also made bullish irn- pression on sentiment. Private cables from Liverpool attributed the steadiness of the market there to an improved de- mand from trade interests, more particu- larly from German spinners.
 Southern spot markets officially report ed early were generally unchanged to 1-16c higher. A compilation of several hundred reports received here from pretty much all over the south by prominent local firm indicates on the average that between IS and 81 per cent of the total crop had been ginned to November 12.
 Receipts at the ports, 75,401 bales, against 46,022 last week and 34.322 last year. For the week. 350000, against S76,- sos last week and 277,066 last year. To- days receipts at New Orleans, 7S4l, against Il, ,046 last year.

UPWARD TENDENCY IN STOCK MARKET Better Tone Is Shown in the
 Days Trading THE CLOSE IS HIGHEST Selling Soon After the Opening Causes A Decline, But This is Overcame
 on Sharp Reaction in
 Buying
 
THE CLOSE IS HIGHEST

New York, November 16.-The most ef- fective interest in today's movement of stock prices was the early absence of the aggressive operations for the advance by "a few brokers which was the feature of yesterdays market The traders watched for the appearance of these or ders in United States Steel, Union Pa cific and Reading. They sold those stocks and the general list because the orders failed to appear. This was taken to in- dcate the abandonment of the attempt to inaugurate a new market movement by concentrated dealings in those stocks. The reappearanee of the same kind of buy ing in United States Steel and Union Pacific in the final hour pulled prices up again and left them higher than last night.
 The general decline in prices of meat all over the country came in for a great deal of attention both by reason of it's direct bearish effect on money market affairs and it's broader influence on the wage questions and public discomfort and un- rest.
 The latest rapid decline in meat prices has come subsequent to the November 1 condition shown by Bradstreet's index number of commodity prices, although a decline of per cent was shown by that number from the October l showing, and also from November last year. The fall from the record level of January 1 of this year amounts to 3.S per cent, with the decline evidently in progress in increased degree since November 1. Great satisfac- tion is felt with this tendency.
 It is noticeable, however, that one irn- mediate effect Is an increased pressure on the banks in some sections of the west The explanation is that the fall in grain prices has prompted farmers to withhold their offerings and to buy live stock to feed corn to. With the end of the feeding period there is seen a large influx of offerings in the cattle markets, a further decline in meat prices and a heavy liquidation of bank loans
 Discussion of forthcoming New York bond issue for s50,0O0,OO0 was an incident of the day, although the hope was pro- fessed that the issue might be deferred until the turn of the year.
 Formal conferences with bankers over prices were said to hold forth hopes of floating at par of a 4ia per cent bond, but the A per cent issue made earlier this year sold down for the day to 100A. and other New York city issues were weak. This was regarded as foreshadow- Ing necessity for a 41s per cent interest rate to float the proposed issues, rate not carried since the sale of bonds in February, 1908. The incident in connec- ton with yesterdays low record for Brit ish consols was not considered a favor , able augury influence for some high grade securities.
 Bonds easy; total sales, par value, S1,- b90,O00.
 United States bonds unchanged on call.

Hubbsrd Bro.. & CO. Letter

New York. November 16- (Special.)- better demand in Liverpool from the con- tinent prevented that market from de- clining in keeping with the weakness here yesterday afternoon. This feature of the firmness of the foreign markets in face of the much larger movement at the ports and interior towns has brought about substantial reaction. and causes the market to expect a further improve ment tomorrow. There is disposition to believe that the expected ginners' re- port has been discounted in the recent decline. At all times during the day the market has shown a firm undertone de- spite the unexpectedly large receipts, which promised to be about 100000 bales in excess of last year.
 Liverpool should advance three points tomorrow

New Disease Attacks Sheen

Montrose, Col. November 16.-A De- culiar and hitherto unknown disease has attacked the flocks of Samuel Staples, one of the largest sheep grow CTS in this region, and neighboring sheepmen are taking extreme care to prevent the spread of the malady, which Is fatal in most instances. A post mortem examination of one of the vic- tins revealed a quantity of water be- tween the hide and the flesh of the sheep, and about five gallons of water were found inside the body. The heart and lungs were surrounded by a growth and the vital organs had almost entirely disappeared.

New orleans Cotton Market

New Orleans, November 16.-Cotton futures opened steady at an advance of to s points on good cables and unfavorable weather accounts from the western and center parts of the cot ton belt. Shorts were good buyers ana commission houses had moderate number of buying orders from outside traders to fill. Private telegrams re- ported rain and cold weather and un- favorable conditions generally for picking at many points in Texas and in the Mississippi valley. The market was very steady in the early trading and at the end of the first half hour of business stood to 12 points over yesterdays, close.
 The weather forecast predicting rain and possibly snow for Texas, Alabama, Mississippi and Georgia gave the mar ket added strength from the middle of the morning on and the trading months were sent up until they stood at net advance of b to IT points. Houses with connections in the interior issued statements to the effect that interior spot holders, especially in Texas. were weakening but this was disputed by bulls and many spot buyers. The movement was heavy and spot houses said 1t was due to preparations for un- usually large end of November exports. Toward noon the market became dull
