Governors of the Southern States to Attend Cotton
 Convention

Austin, Tex, October 19.--All governors of southern states except Florida expect to attend the cotton convention that has been called to meet in New Orleans No- vember 90 to consider the price of cotton and the crop interests in general. This information today reached the office of Gov. o. B. Colquit with the last of the replies for a call for the conference.

They have also assured him they may be ex- pected to be accompanied by bankers, cotton men and newspaper men, and that they anticipated much benefit to be de- rived from the deliberations.
 In several instances the governors have not completed their appointments. No list of prominent delegates is yet avail able here.
 The governor of Florida writes that off, fcial duties will prevent his attendance, but that he will try to appoint a suit able number of delegates, and that he Lespeaks tho heartiest of well wishes for the movement in the interest of the cot ton industry of the south.

IMMENSE BUSINESS
 DONE IN WHEAT
Rain and Sleet in North Dakota Stimulates
 Buying

Chicago, October 19.-An immense busi- ness was done today in wheat notwith- standing the price range was narrow Longs were apparently taking profits and waiting for the cash demand to catch ur with the gain in futures. Compared wit last night, closing figures varied from 1ac lower to ssc advance. The end of the ses. sior left corn unchanged to 1s@Ac down cats a shade off to like amount higher and hog products slantlng from the wind up 24 hours before to 7I5c above
 The key to the situation in the wheat trade seemed to be the fact that there had been no milling call worth mention- lrg since the recent bulge began Nevertheless there was a great deal of covering of short wheat today and much fairly enthusiastic new buying. A good rain and sleet in North Dakota, where cnly 25 per cent of threshing and 15 pei cent of the blowing had been done. With much of the crop there being ruined and prospect of decreased acreage next year the condition in the state would be grave ard according to some authorities the most serious the commonwealth had ever experienced The official forecast, how ever, was for clear weather in that sec ton. Bearlsh advices from Russia and the Argentine exercised also a somewhat rstraining influence in keeping the mare ket from becoming overbousht despite alarming reports of poor grading in the Canadian northwest The net resillt oi the opposing influences was a steady tone at the finish. Between opening and clos ing, December fluctuated from s1.007s to $1.6f, with sales $1.01s, precisely the same as last night.
 Promise of clear. cold weather calmed down nervousness of corn shorts. Decem- Der ranged between 514Q53sc and 66c, clos ing steady, 1s@Ac net lower. at 65as6551ac Cash grades were in light supply. No. . yellow was quoted at 74A@75c.

COTTON MARKET OPENS AT ADVANCE The Official Predictions for Frost Cause Heavy
 Covering

New York, October 19-Official predit-
 lions for frost In the western belt and
 reports of more active spot demand
 probably for the filling out of October
 commitments, caused heavy covering in
 tho cotton market early today, but failed
 apparently to stimulate much aggressive buying for long account, and after an
 opening advance the market eased off
 under continued southern selling in con-
 ncction with liquidation by some of the
 carly buyers. The close was steady, net
 unchanged to points higher
 The market opened firm at an advance
 Of to 15 points on higher cables, low
 temperatures just north of the western
 belt and reports that the south was offer
 ing spots less freely. Active months sold about E to 15 points net higher on or right sfter the call with December touching 920c and January 9.1Sc, or about 6 points above the low records of yesterday morn- ing. Offerings were very heavy on this advance, and prices eased off several points during the early trading, and while a rally of or points followed the west crn belt forecast, confirming the private predictions of frost In most of the west ern belt, the market weakened again when it was found that the outlook was not
 creating any general buying movement, and that the south continued to sell here
 on advances. Reports that preliminary
 returns to the National Ginners' associa- ten indicated a ginning of 7,750000 bales to October is. comparing with the official report of ,, 423, ,52S last year, probably tend- cd to offset che frost predictions, as strengthening the feeling that an ade- quate crop has already been assured. At
 any rate, the market was nervous and
 unsettled during the afternoon, and at cne time most of the active months were selling a point two under the clos ing figures of the previous day. January was relatively steady, but eased back from the opening price to about last ight's closing finals, and closed only ? points net higher. Closing prices gen.
 orally were or 8 points up from the low
 est on covering and reports of steadier
 spot markets. but there seemed to be little fear either of killing temperatures
 over any large part of the south or a feeling that such development had been discounted.
 Receipts today, 7O,So9 bales, against G. e93 last week and 56, 7S9 last year. Todays
 1929 last year. and at Houston, 20,090,
 against 21.074 last year.

FLUCTUATIONS IN
 99 STOCK MARKET
Strong Tone Was Offset By Very Extensive
 Selling

New York, October 1a.-Fluctuations of stocks were much wider and more active today than during the recent dull sessions. The market developed a fairly strong tone and buying at times was conducted on a heavy scale. The effect of this influence was offset at times by extensive selling and at one period or the trading the market seemed to be en- tireiy in the hands of the bears.
 At the end of the session and of con tradictory movements the list stood well above the previous session's close. Uni ted States Steel, Lehigh Valley and Ca madam Pacific made net gains of points or more and most of the active shares rose by substantial amounts.
 United States Steel which was sold yesterday for ostensible reasons that the steel corporation was to cancel it's lease of the Hill ore properties was bought today for the same reason on the theory that cancellation of the lease would im- prove the corporations status under the Sherman law. The whole movement was so thoroughly. professional, however, as to possess little significance. United States Steel rose rapidly at the opening in com mon with the remaipder of the list
 Before the end of theS first hour the market developed pronounced weakness in the face of an energetic bear movement. The bears apparently extended their eff forts too far for they were put to rout in the last hour when prices were sent up- ward with.a rush.
 Great Northern ore certificates were af- fected appreciably by the ahnouncement of the steel corporation's decision. The stock broke points making a 10 point loss in two days, and selling down to 1o fits lowest quotation since 1907. It subsequently, recovered part of this loss.
 Movements of the copper group attract ed considerable attention on account of the advance of the price. of metal to 121a cents. American smelling, which lost ground early in the session recovered it's loss and closed with a gain of nearly a point and amalgamated copper rose 1ssc.
 Representatives of the copper trade said that there had recently been pro- ! nouneed improvement in the situation. Domestic demand. however, has enlarged and the export trade has assumed con- siderable larger proportions. The de- cline in stocks of copper in Europe was said to have strengthened the foreign metal of stocks. London bought more freely in this market than for several days. its purchases of United States Steel alone being placed at 15000 shares.
 The Bank of England's weekly state ment showed falling off in bullion of nearly $3,o00,0oo, but a gain in the pro- portion of reserves to liabilities. The 2 Bank of France increased it's supply of gold by less than S600,000.
 Trading in bonds continued on fairly active scale. There was an under cur- rent of heaviness in early transactions on the stock exchange owing largely to the active selling of American tobacco 6s which yielded more than point to Ill, although recovering later. The 4s were supported and other issues developed strength before the close. Total sales. per value s2,s95Ooo; United States bonds were unchaiiged on call.

Files Reply in Damage Suit

New Orleans, October 19-J. G. Le- Paroncelli, editor of the Wasp, yesterday filed his reply to the answer made to his damage suit by Armand Capdeville, edi- tor of the Bee, in which DeBaroncelli, in supplemental petition, asks for s2O,O00 in addition to a like amount asked for in his original suit.
 Both are French and editors of French newspapers. Some months ago they en- tered in an editorial skirmish about the quality of French used in each others columns. This resulted in challenge to a duel, peace bonds and finally a street fight. The Wasp editor sued for S2O,00O damages, the Bee editor answering that the Wasp editor was a bigamist. The Wasp editor felt he was injured s2OOOO worth more, and said so when he filed bis reply yesterday, explaining that he married a widow in the belief that she had secured a divorce, and upon discov- erins that she had not he asked the court for separation.
