IRREGULAR CLOSE
 IN COTTON MARKET New High Records Are Made
 But Prices Drop SUPPORT IS FAIRLY GOOD After the Advance Professionals Took Hold of the Trading and Sold the
 Market Down to
 Low Level
SUPPORT IS FAIRLY GOOI

New York, November 11.-An early ad- vance in the cotton market carried prices into new high ground for the movement, close steady, net points lower to points higher
 The opening was steady at an advance of to Il points, owing to better cables | than expected, and prices gradually worked up to a net gain of about 13 to Is points on covering by shorts, a re- newed foreign demand, and some support from spot houses. May contracts sold at 1o;5Sc, Ss points up from the low level or Wednesday, and points above the best price received before the publication or the census report last Monday. This l carried the market back to within 1s points of the high records for the sea son. made during the middle of October. and attracted considerable realizine. Moreover. outside demand had failed to lroaden on the advance, and when 1t was round that the demand from shorts was becoming less urgent local professionals showed disposition to take the short side for a turn
 ~<0SPSSep ioh DuliiSH weekend figures and the steady showing of the southern spot markets prevented any aggressive selling, but offerings became heavier dur ing the afternoon when there was con- siderable commission-house liquidation, and at one time prices showed a net loss of about to points. Toward the close there was slight rally on covering and fnal quotations were to points up from the lowest. A private crop estimate Issued by local authority during the day placed the yield at |, ,675oO0 bales, but general sentiment as to the probable sup ply for the season appears to be still very much unsettled.
 Southern spot markets were unchanged to 7sc higher. Liverpool reports a further reduction in estimates of the Indian crop. and good trade demand. The govern ment estimate of the crop will be pub lished at p. n- on December g.

GENERAL ADVANCE
 IN WHEAT PRICES Improved Milling Demand Is
 Biggest Factor
JULY SOLD HEAVILY
ments Cause Weakness in Corn Market-Oats and Provisions
 Are Slightly Lower

Chicago, November 11.-ITmproyed- mill ing demand had much to do with a strong upturn in wheat in the last hour of trading today. There were also re- ports that large percentage of seed planted in Kansas had failed to germi- nate. At the close prices ranged from Ac higher to Sc below last night. Corn finished Ac to 15o down; oats off a shade to hc and provisions unchanged to a decline of 121zc.
 Irregular fluctuations were the rule in wheat, a good share of the tim,, be- cause of heavy selling of the July op- ton against purchase of May and De- cember. Shorts in the two last named months covered a great deal, mainly on the advance. and were severely punish ed for reckless selling, which early in the session gave the market hard smash Strong bull interests used the December delivery as a lever in hoist Ing values near the end of the day. having materially frightened the option by liberal acquisitions during the morn- ing. An initial dip in prices had as a
 
 trade regarding continuance of bull movement in this market. Bearish esti- mates of world shipments were also ef- fectively used. but being unfulfilled. had a reactionary influence later on.
 Shortly before noon Minneapolis mills were reported as free buyers of wheat and there came soon afterward a dis patch asserting that in Ford county, Kansas, 25 per cent of the planting had proved lifeless. The ensuing swell in the market here subsided somewhat from the top figures reached, but the clos ing tone was firm. May during the ses- sion sold between 954@95ssc and ..as%c, with the close at 96ssc. a net gainf6f a shade.
 Big Argentine shipments and ideal weather to cure the new crop weakened corn. Speculators were counting on bet ter receipts later. May f1uctuated be- tween 47ssc and 4814c, closing 1sc off, but steady at 48c, a loss of 1se com pared with last night. Cash corn was firm; No. ? yellow finished at 50% %1511hc.
 Trade in oats dwindled to small pro- portions and reflected faintly the price changes in other pits. May varied from 341sc to 3414c and closed 1-16c off at 34ssl 3z1sc.
 Selling by room traders constituted the entire business in provisions. In the end pork had been worked down to 251J5c to 10c; lard was unchanged to 125hc lower, and ribs showed loss of 215c to 21aQD5c.

New orIean. Cotton Market


 New Orleans, November u.-Cotton fu- lures opened steady at an advance of 4 to 6 points on favorable cables. Private accounts from Manchester were very bullish, stating that big business was being done in cotton yarns and goods and that many mills were booked ahead untii midsummer After the call buying or ders increased from both sides, and ring scalpers took the long side for turn. The weather map was favorable, indi- eating dry, clear and fairly warm weather over the cotton country, but it had no effect on the market. At the end of the first half hour of business prices were to 10 points up.
 The market was supported throughout the morning session by extremely bull ish cablegrams from Liverpool regarding the Manchester market, and the probable value of cotton before the end of the season. They were followed by re- vised estimate of H. 900 bales from a well-known New York firm which was generally considered very bullish. Prices gradually rose until the most active months were 10 to 12 points over yes- terday's close Longs took profits heav- fly on the rise and at noon prices were only to points over yesterdays last quotations.
 In the afternoon session considerable weekend liquidation of the account was in evidence, and prices were put to 3 points under yesterdays close in the trading up to o'clock. Cotton futures closed steady at net decline of to points.
