COTTON JUMPS HIGH
 ON BUREAU REPORT Ginning Figures Do Not Have
 Very Much Effect CROP CONDITIONS POOR Prices Advance Sharply on Announce ment That Crop Had Deteriorated Nearly Seven Points During The Past Month
CROP CONDITIONS POOR

New York, October 3.-There was an ex- tra active business In cotton today and prices had a big advance following the publication of the governments October condition figures. Reactions occurred later. but there was a big demand at a comparatively moderate decline from the best and the market closed at a net ad- vance of % to 30 points.
 The market opened firm at an advance of to 12 points in response to better cables than expected and private reports from Liverpool claiming that the labor troubles in Lancashire had already been practically settled. Realizing was heavy from the start. The census figures show ing 2,SO2,2l1 bales ginned to September 9, comparing with 2,56S. .150 to the same date last year. were near enough expectations to have practically no immediate infiu- ence on the market, but offerings were extremely we'll taken by fresh buyers, covering by sellers of last week, influ- eneed by the more favorable labor re- ports from abroad and continuation of support from the bull leaders.
 Before the condition report was issued, the active montrs were selling II to 15 points net higher, and immediately after the governments condition figures be- came available there was jump in prices, which carried December up to H13c and May to 14.44c, or 90 to 37 points above the closing figures Saturday.
 At this level offerings were extremely heavy and the market eased off anywhere from Ia to 23 points under realizing and local operations for a reaction, the latter being encouraged by later cables from Liverpool, claiming that while the lockout had been postponed, the labor difficult ties had not yet been satisfactorily ad- justed
 There was aggressive buying on the dip, however. and the market later firmed up again with last prices only few points off from the best. The govern ment report, the last of the season, made the condition of the crop 65.9, compared with 72.1 last month, 5S.5 last year, and 66.6 the 10-year average.
 Receipts at the ports today, 56,9S6 bales, against 60,S1S last week and 592S7 last year. For the week, 425, 900 bales, against 39O, 1928 last week, and 41s627 last year. Today's receipts at New Orleans 2S64, against 6955 last year.

out had been averted, but others stated that the mill owners had refused to ac- cept the terms proposed by the men. The gfnners' report from the census bureau. issued just before the market opened, was bullish, but did not cause much trading and had little effect on the mar ket. The weather map indicated some little rain in Texas and in the central portions of the cotton belt, and was called favorable. At the end of the first half hour of trading prices were to F points up.
 The market was quiet until II o'clock, when the government made known it's re- port on the condition of the crop on Sep tember 25 The trade expected report of about 66 per cent of the normal, and the figures of 65.9 were therefore not far out of the way. The market hesitated at first over these figures and fell on to b points.
 In few minutes, however, shorts try ing to buy covers found few contracts TOT sale and their bids put prices up quickly.
 Scalpers on the long side were quick to measure the situation and they bought heavily With the market showing de- cided tendency to advance. commission houses began to receive buying orders from outside traders and within snort time prices were F to 20 points up from the levels reached immediately after the report and 21 to 30 points over oaluruay close At noon the market was quiet and steady, about 10 points down on the high est profit-taking by satisfied longs At this level the trading months were to 21 points over Saturdays final quota tions.
 Tn the afternoon session the market was quiet and steady. At o'clock prices were 10 to 20 points over Saturdays last quotations.
 The close was steady. 2S to 36 points up

WEATHER MAKES
 TRADE SLUGGISH New Month, However, Makes Fairly Good Start GRAPES ARE EXHAUSTED Car of C0ncords from New York and TOkny From California Expected
 Today-Priccs Generally
 Unchanged
GRAPES ARE EXHAUSTED

The continued stay of the summer season is being felt by Morris avenue merchants in the general sluggishness of trade conditions. For the beginning of the week, however, trading was brisk yesterday on the wholesale street, probably because this is the first week in October. The demand for all pro- ducts is usually light during the last week of the month, purchasers as rule desiring to wait until the next month before buying.
 Due to an over-strong demand for the fruit, the market Is entirely bare of grapes, Concord and Tokay. A carload of Concord grapes from New York and a car of the Tokay variety from Cal ifornia are expected today.
 No excitement was evident yesterday in the egg and poultry markets, fresh eggs still selling at 27 cents the dozen and hens and flyers at unchanged prices.

Catholics Are Orderly

Madrid. October 5.-Thc Catholic manifestations auth orized by the gov ernment in the principal towns and cities of Spain passed off today practi- cally without disorder The organiza- tions had been careful to declare that the movement had no political signifi- canoe beyond protest on the part of the Catholics to what they term the governments anti-religious policy. In Madrid the manifestants came into col- lision with the republicans, who were holding counter demonstration. Canes were used freely and the police were compelled to charge the crowds. which were easily dispersed.

GENERAL DECLINE
 IN WHEAT MARKET Increase in Visible Supply Up
 sets the Bulls NO EXPORT BUSINESS Favorable Weather in the Corn Region Causes Slight Loss in Prices.
 Oats and Provisions Are
 Also Lower
NO EXPORT BUSINESS

Chicago, October 3.-A Surprising in crease in the visible supply of wheat this side of the Atlantic upset a bullish mar tet here today. The close was at a net decline of ssc to ss@%c. In corn there was gain of shade to 1sc compared with Saturday night. Oats finished lsc to Ac off and provisions unchanged to 40c below
 The big bulge in the amount of wheat in sight was not confined to the United States. Canada showed an even greater worse from a bull standpoint, there was no sign of export business to speak of. Early in the day the market was firm because of decided lowering of the total wheat afioat on the ocean. At pri- mary points, furthermore, receipts were much smaller and shipments larger than a year ago. None of these considerations, however could withstand the force of the news regarding the visible supply All the initial gain was lost and much more, the market closing weak near the lowest level of the day. December ranged be- tween s61sc and 97ssc, and finished 5s0D% c  off at 96AQ963sc
 Favorable weather east and west of tho Mississippi gave the market encour- agement in corn, and after a number of shorts had satisfied wants the market gave way. The tone at the close never theless was steady December fluctuated from 49Ac to 49&c, and in the end was bc off at 491Ac. Cash corn was firm early, but later lost the advance. No. 3 yellow sold finally at 51s452c
 In the oat pit commission houses bought early and sold later following other grains. Northern Iowa dealers were re- ported loading oats out heavily to make room for old corn. December sold from 321ac to 331sc, closing Ac net down at 329sc.
 Congestion in nearby lard deliveries helped to temper a declining tendency in hog products. The south reports a very poor cash trade, all practicable food sub stitutes being used in place of meats. Latest quotations were 21ac to 4Oc cheap CT for pork, unchanged to 15c down for lard and 15@171ac to 321ac less expensive for ribs.
 Future quotations were as follows:

Plan ArtIc Expedition

Christiania. October 3.-According to a letter received here from Capt. Ron- ald Amundsen. on board the Tram at Madeira, Amundsen has decided to pro- ceed on an antarctic expedition. He promises to send details when he ar rives at Punta Arenas. This change of plans has occasioned surprise, as 1t was the original intention of Amund sen to start early next year on drift ing voyage for the North Pole. The Tram was first to go to San Francisco where 1t was to be fitted out, and it was calculated that the drift through the polar ice would occupy not less than seven years.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York. October )-Al- though negotiations between the spinners and operatives In Manchester were again broken off, the impression prevails that the matter will be adjusted in few days. If is simply too important a question to be permitted to throw so many out or work. This was evidently the impression in England, judging from the large spot sales and the advance in Liverpool be- fore the opening of our market.
 The bureau report of 6o.s was accepted as indicating a small crop and as fore shadowing a higher market. On this be- lief the buyers have absorbed all of the large realizing, which continued today and closed the market strong at the highest prices of the season. So long as this demand continues prices will advance, though the report of the bureau from q so-called mathematical calcGation in dicates much larger crop than current estimates.
