Corn weaIsens on Decision By France to Maintain the Present Import Dutics-Oats Decline While
 Provisions Advance

Chicago, November 2S.--It was esti- mated here today that the worlds wheat supplies show nearly 10 per cent more for the remainder of this year. This con dltion acted as an offset to smaller worlds shipments than expected and to a decrease in the United States visible supply. Accordingly the market here closed precisely the same as AS hours previous. or May 1sc lower to as61ac high CT for other months. There was net decline of 1sc to ss@1sc in corn and a shade to 1sc in oats. Latest prices for provisions were up 71z@221sc.
 Analysis of the worlds export situation was said to promise 390,o00,oOo bushels, against demands for only 359,144,00O bush els, necessitatlng a weekly shipment of but 1922 GOO bushels. The market opened weak and at no time displayed any great amount of strength. One reason was the absence of cash trade in all directions. Toward midday oonfirmatory details of severe damage radiating 100 miles north of Bahia Blanca In Argentina led to con- siderable frmness fer awhile, aided by the decrease of the visible supply in the United States and Canada. But gradually the effect wore off and the market slipped downward until just at the close a feel ing of steadiness prevailed on purchases said to be due to dry weather In Kansas. During the session May ranged from 95ll de5asc to 961sc, finishing unchanged from Saturday at 921hG92esc.
 Corn was weakened by decision on the part of the French government to maintain import duties. Considerable ex- port corn was worked from here on the basis of lower values. May fluctuated between 461tc and 47c. with the close easy at 46ssc, net loss of 1s@Ac Cash corn was weak. No. ? yellow finished at 5lh2 @51alc.
 In oats there was much buying of De- cember by elevators. The discount mar rowed perceptibly. Scattered longs sold. May varied from SSes03S7sc, closing shade off at 33a4c.
 Provisions were flrmer in sympathy with the hog market. At the end Of the day pork had risen 17ihc to 22lkc; lard, 7lsc to 1oc, and ribs 71f@10c.

New York. November 2s.-tSpecial) J. Liverpool and Manchester reports were good, and our market responded with an opening of ? to s points above the close oe Saturday, but this was immediately followed by liquidation. due partly to the views of a prominent railway magnate regarding the condition and prospect of trade published this morning. From the extreme low figures there was slight reaction. but the market was heavy dur ing the entire day. the slight reaction be- ing feeble. The New Orleans Times Dem. ocrat estimates the crop at Il. 445.000 bales in line with the recent views of 4calcula- tors. December notices were issued to- day, say 75.000 to S0000O Free selling oi March deliveries seemed to be by the bull interest. touching stop orders on the de- cline Professional activity was greater hut the bull element was not aggressive and the market looks tired. with profit taking. Heavy spot business Is reported in the southwest and the movement of the crop is liberal. People are beginning to doubt that the December government will advance prices under any estimate given.

 Not Boosted Fly the
 Report
DEMAND IS STILL GOOD

New York, November 2S.-After making
 new high records for the season in March
 and later positions at the opening. the
 cotton market ruled easier today and
 closed barely steady at a net decline of
 9914 points.
 The market opened steady at ad- vance of 267 points with March con- tracts selling at 15. 25c and May at 15.40c on call, or nearly 1c a pound above the low level reached during the middle of the month. This advance reflected over Sunday buying orders and the relatively firm ruling of Liverpool which was said to be influenced by the crop estimates of
 prominent New Orleans authority plac- ing the yield at Il. .445.o0o bags, excluding 1inters. It had been anticipated in local circles however, that this estimate would be even smaller than actually reported; 1t had, therefore been discounted and after the opening here prices weakened under extremely active realizing, selling by spot houses and aggressive local selling for a turn.
 The circulation of December notices, es-
 timated at about S0.o00 bales, was ac- ccmpanied by no particular liquidation
 of the near months. but itw as said
 that thespot people, who, taking up the
 December cotton, were selling the late
 months against it, and while there was
 big demand, partly from outside sources, prices gradually eased off until they showed a net loss of from 1S to IS points.
 At this level offerings became rather
 smaller and the market rallied to nearly the closing figures of Saturday on GOV ering by early sellers, New Orleans bull support and some commission house buy ing, but later eased off again under re- newed liuuidation, bear pressure and ap- prehensions that stop orders might be uncovered on scale down. The close was within 1 or points of the lowest on most of the active months.
 Most of the southern advices received
 here during the day were bullish on the spot situation, claiming a good demand and good sales were reported from Sa- vannah The markets officially reported early were 1-16c lower to 5-16c higher.

 PRICES OF STOCKS James J. Hills Pessimism Has
 An Adverse Effect TRADERS ARE ACTIVE Lightness of the, Spring Wheat Crop
Lighfne-s of the, Spring Wheat Crop and It's Effect Upon Railroads in tie Wheat Region Aids
 the Slump

New York, November 2s.-A number of factors combined to cause the acute weakness of stocks today. some positive and some merely passive The most significant fact in the days greatly ex- banded dealings, however, was that United States Steel. Union Pacific and Reading held fully the overwhelming preponderance of activity over the whole market combined, which have character fzed these stocks for weeks on end This fact offered convincing evidence that reversal of position by the small group Of wealthy specuators and bankers who have practically carried the whole of re- cent markets. The fact which seems most influence on this action by the leading speculative forces was the in- teryiew with Chairman James J. Hill of the Great Northern railroad sent from St. Paul yesterday.
 The picture painted by the great rail- road builder and organizer was a gloomy one of unemployment for large number of men and halt in profitable activities throughout next year as penalty for the worlds past extravagances.
 That the views of MT. Hill were in- fuenced by conditions particular to the locality traversed by the railway system Nitn NnlPh ne IS 1dentlHed was suggest cd but without mparng the effect of his robust assertions.
 The lightness of the spring wheat crop, the present bad effect on railroad earn ings in that locality and the huge capi- tai expansion by those railroads which preceded the depression of 19G7 were amongst the conditions pointed out as particular to that region.
 An effective and timely supplement- to MT. Hill's interview in forcing the de- cline in prices was the tone of advices from the iron and steel trade. MT. Hill s specifications of diminished requirement. on his own system for material were taken as fairly typical of general condi- tions.
 The disappointing action of Lehigh Valley on it's introduction to the New York stock exchange was a more passive influence on the days weakness, but not less effective on that account. This stock. of a par value of $50 having been be- come familiar on the Philadelphia stock exchange for quotations in dollars, be- came subject to the New York rule of quotation of percentage value.
 The closing price of Saturday in Phil adelphia of $941s was translated in New York terms of 1Ss1a, therefore and the fluctuations were accordingly doubled in range.
 Bonds were easy: total sales, par value s2.033.000.
