WILL WATCHWEATHER
IN COTTON MARKET

New Orleans, La, October S.-The
weather will be the thing most
watched in the cotton market this
week. On the close of last week there
were signs that the protracted spell
of favorable weather that the cotton
country has been enjoying, was about
to break up If the signs prove cor
rect the market Will become unsettled,
and the grip of the bears Will be loos-
cncd to some extent. over the larger
part of the belt the crop is SO far ad-
vanced that there is little for frost
to injurc, and more actual harm would
probably result from rains. because the
fields are white with open cotton.
Rain on the open cotton now in the
fields would greatly injure the grade,
and thereby cost the farmers of the
South millions. but either rain or
colder weather will advance prices
this week.
Next to the weather the trade will
be concerned over the spot demand

noiders were unloading. Possibly some
of the selling was prompted by the
continued large spring wheat receipts.
The small recovery was attribute biz
partly to reports OF poor grading In
the Northwest, and especially in Can
ada. where much deterioration was
caused By the excessive moisture. in
GLIDING snow and hail. Cable advIces
We're also encouraging. European
markets being influenced partly by
rumors as to tho inferior quality of
much of the Russian crop. II was also
alleged that the government was con
templating the ACCESSIBILITY of prohibit
ing exports.
Needless TO say. merchants were ex-
cecdingly skcptical on this point. Cow
ering in European markets was also
accelerated in part by fear of damage
by frost in Argentina, and by prcdic-
tions of lighter worlds shipments for
the week. While il is true that receipts
OF spring wheat are fairly large at pri-
mary points, the movement from win
ter wheat territory is correspondingly
light, and consequently cash prices
have been especially strong, notably
in Kansas City. This was partly due
to the fairly active buying there for
shipment. not only to spring wheat
mills but TO other mills in the Far
West including California. Dispatches
from Kansas City noted the sale OF
No. red at 81, and of No . hard Tur-
key ut s1.l0, or the highest on the
crop. There have been fairly good
export orders here for hard wheat. in
Guiding durum. but little could be ac-
complished. excepting in Manitoba, ana
even that was scarce, especially prime
grades, which are wanted by millers.
Firmness of Corn.
Corn was stronger, but. all things
considered. the advance was somewhat
disappointing to holders. who had ex-
pected much sharper rise IN view
of the nu: erous bullish factors. 1t
was the consensus of opinion that q
material upturn was prevented by fair
ly heavy liquidation by big holders
for the rise in Chicago. The most i'm
portant influence was the continued
unfavorable weather West. where
there has been n comparatively heavy
rainfall over n wide area. 1t was as
serted that many fields in bottom lands
were flooded, causing much deteriora-
ton. Consequently II is apprehcndcd
that there will be much complaint OF
soft and damp corn at the beginning
of the new crop year. Naturally a
heavy frost ut this time would cause
further alarm. Exporters were in re-
ceipt of fair orders. but found 1t i'm
possible to accomplish anything note
worthy. owing to the insignificant sup
ply available and the much stronger
views of holders.

financial and civic possibilities of this
portion of the United States and in
detail to consider plans TO divert the
bulk of travel incident to the two
Panama eXpositions in 1915 on the Pa
cinc coast through Southern and
Southwestern States. Sessions of tho
Southern Commercial Secretaries AS
ISOLATION will be held Tuesday and
Wednesday.
Probably the most striking feature
of the All-South Conference, and the
secrctaries' meeting. will be the alb
sence of set speeches. for. while there
will be the usual addresses of wei
come, the program to be followed Will
be governed almost wholly by the an
nouncemcnt of topics upon which the
delegates are expected to speak at
will.
Among the subjects for considera-
ton are: Land reclamation. immigra-
ton, trade publications. value to com
munities of advertising. Industrial and
nanuIacturlnE eSnlDltonS. bonuses
for new industries, real estate
problems, conventions. health and mu-
nicipal sanitary affairs and traffic con-
ditions.
SO far as is known here, the con-
ference will plan the first definite
movement started to secure the greater
part of the travel to California in 1915.
Southern lines of railroads are expect
ed to enlist IN tho movement.
1t Is expected that a number OF

DECLINE IN PRICES OF
COTTON CONTINUE
New Low Level for Three Years Reached in
Weak Observation-Disclosures and Heavy
Southern Selling the Feature

New YORK, October S--Trading in
cotton during the past week has been
largely a repetition of the market con-
ditions and events o. me previous
week. Liquidation and heavy Southern
selling have again been the feature,
and the pressure on the markets has
been increased through selling by
many traders. who had been induced to
buy for speculative turn l cent per
pound higher UP, OH the belief that tho
market would not break through the
i0-cent basis. This resulted in such a
prcponderance of selling that the mar
kets have not been able to furnish
sufficient buying power. Thus the past
weeks decline has extended to between
30 and 90 points from last Saturdays
previous low level. making "a total de-
cline OF between so and 95 points in
the last two weeks, or the equivalent
of between 81 and So per bale.
The Weeks Low Record Prices.
The lowest prices for the week were
made in Fridays slump. which carried
the October and January options down
10 the basis of 95-S cents as against
$50 for December deliveries and 93-4
for March and $50 for May. This is
the lowest range cotton has sold in this
market for Il period of nearly three
years, and compares with the highest
record price Of 20 cents per pound, to
which the August option was driven in
the manipulation of that month year
ago. and the high record price of about
l6 cents in May of last spring. This
makes present prices appear very low,
but this low price Is about the only
bullish feature there is in the present
situation. SO far. it has not been suffi-
ciently attractive to induce enough
buying of the actual cotton to absorb
the recent daily offerings of spots from
Southern holders, or to stop the heavy
Southern hedge selling against the
crop.
Effect of the Montgomery Convention.
In the Montgomery convention, under
the auspices of the Farmers Alliance,
1t was stated that the 1911 crop was
not much over Il, 100000 bales, and
resolutions We're passed to hold back
for IL cents. and then for Is cents later
in the season. Unfortunately, the in
dications have been for crop of as
large as at least 100000 bales. and,
instead of holding back the crop,
