COTTON DECLINES
 IN ACTIVE MARKET In the Early Session Prices Drop on Heavy Selling THE RECOVERY IS RAPID After Reaction Downward Prices Make Squirt But at the Close
 Losses Are shown in All
 the Options
 
THE RECOVERY IS RAPII

New York, November 1-After losing a good part of yesterdays advance the cot ton market rallied in the late trade on a renewal of bull support and covering with the close steady at a net decline of il points on November, but only to points On later months.
 The market opened steady but at de- cline of to points, owing to relatively easy cables and private advices from Liv- erpool to the effect that the south was offering spots more freely and that Man chester was selling. There were con tinued reports of damage from the over Sunday freeze and frost. but many of yes- terday's buyers seemed to be selling or the show of the English market and prices gradually eased off until the mar ket showed a net loss of about Is to 19 points on active months. At this level leading southern operators appeared to be buying, and in the late trading there was covering movement on which the active months rallied to almost the clos ing prices of last night
 The decline during the middle of the day may have been encouraged by reports that a New Orleans authority estimated the crop at 12, ,900,0 GOO bales, the largest crop figures so far published while there was also a feeling that report compiled by a local trade paper, indicating a condition toward the end of October 10 per cent bet ter than last year, was a point in favor of the larger estimates of the yield
 On the other hand, private reports that from 70 to IS per cent of the crop had been picked against 75 per cent last year tended to revive the bullish construction of the recent ginning report and the rally here in the late trading was accompanied by rumors that preliminary figures re- ceived by the National Ginners' associa- ton indicated ginning to November 1 of but little if any in advance of last years official figures. The census re- port giving the amount of cotton glnned to November l will be issued at the open Ing of the market on Wednesday, Mo- vember g. Southern spot markets off cially reported early were unchanged to l 1-16c lower.
 Receipts of cotton at the port today, 80, 442, against 98,343 bales last week and T5,651 last year. For the week, 400, GOO, against 391 ,1SS last week and 402, ,64O last year. Today's receipts at New Orleans, 4217, against 12.363 last year.

Hubb.ra Eros. < Co.'s Letter

New York. November 1.-(Speeial)- Liverpool advices were poor, but the Manchester tone was reported better. The market here has been sluggish, with light trading on a downward tendency. The bull leaders left the local interest to deal with prices and till the later afternoon the feeling was decidedly bearish. Part of the decline was then recovered. Business was curtailed by the holiday in New Orleans. The Journal of Commerce says the crop Is 10 per cent better than last year. The New Orleans Picayune refers to bearish possibilities Southern spot markets are generally steady. An estimate from Yazoo City makes the crop 12,9o0,000 bales. but is ignored by the trade and speculation hesitates till some renewal of activity, possibly deferred till after the coming election. Mild weather prevailed in the south, but climatic conditions are now an unconsidered factor, the trade wait ing further information of the late frost. Interior receipts half week 12s,ooo bales, against 142. .0o0 last year. Shipments 1000, interpreted as poor demand.

Tbornton store Robbed

Alexander City, November 1.-(Special) Monday night between the hours of and 8 o'clock a. burglary was attempted at the hardware store of j.. l.. Thornton of this city The burglars entered through the upper sash of the back window, passing over the balcony and down into the main part of the store MT. Thornton happened to pass. going for his night mail, and seeing the light in the store turned off, which he usually allowed to burn all night aroused his suspicion. He went in and found that the burglars were just in progress of complete loot ing, but his presence at the door allowed them to easily escape through the exit He found they had footed the cash draw CT for s2.S5, which happened to be left over Saturday night from paying off his hands He has not missed any of his cutlery, but there is no telling how much they would have taken from the show cases had he not happened to appear on the scene just at the moment he did. The tracks at the back window indicate that the burglary was committed by persons wearing the small sizes of a mans shoes.

WHEAT DECLINES ON
 B|G FOREIGN SUPPLY.
Rain in Two Wheat Countries
 Also Helps Bears
THE DEMAND IS LIMITED
Strength in Corn Is Biased on Light Sales By Farmers and Short EIeya- tor Stoclt--oats nnd ProyIs-
 ions Close Irregular

Chicago, November 1.-Rain in the dry sections of Australia and the Argentine today were reported at about the same time as a big increase of the European visible supply of wheat. In consequence the market developed decided weakness and closed with net loss of 1Ba1Ac. Corn finished shade Up to hdAc off; oats, s@Ac higher to tsc lower and pro- visions unchanged to an advance of 21s@5c.
 The only consolation on the bull side of the wheat pit at any time during the day came from light primary arrivals and from the strength of corn and oats. Supplies in and afioat for Europe were shown to have been enlarged nearly 3,000,- GOO bushels this week against a decrease of about the same amount year ago.
 Unofficial estimates of the available world supply, too. indicated an increase of 6,0o0,000 bushels. Wheat demand here was poor and considerable quantities bought by local traders yesterday were unloaded on the late dips in the price this afternoon. What proved in the na- ture of last straw was a report that mills In the northwest were shutting down because of lack of shipping direc- ticns for flour already on. hand The December option ranged from 894e to 901a Qsossc, and closed heavy at s91sc, a loss Of 1M@1Ac.
 Strength in corn was based on light ness of sales by farmers, unsatisfactory huslzing returns and the fact that local contract stock was down to only 191.00o bushels in public elevators. There were also reports of wet snow in parts of Iowa. Weakness of wheat. however, took the edge off the advance. December fuc- trated between 481ac and 47Nc, closing steady at 46s4c. net gain of shade. The cash market was firm with No ? yellow at 50G5014c.-
 There were more hedges coming off than going on in the oats pit. The mar ket finally eased down somewhat with other grain. December varied from 3l3sc to 31Ac and finished lsc off at 811z031 5sc.
 Provisions were firm on light offerings. Last sales were unchanged to Dc higher than last night.
