LITTLE ACTIVITY IN TIE STOCK MARKET Dealings Concentrated in
 Handful of Stocks
PRICES ARE STEADY
Stock Market Discussion Continues to Deal Largely With the Probable Consequences of Enforcement
 of the Bath Tub Trust Law

New York. October 22.-The stock mat ket last week seemed to be in the hands of operators of the habituslly specuia- tive class. Dealings were concentrated in a handful of stocks and the day to day total was small. #'-
 The wavering fluctuations of prices demonstrated the lack of general factors Prices did not move far in one direction without encounterlng obstacles chiefly on account cf efforts to garner speculative profits Stock market discussicn con- tinued to deal largely with the probabae consequences of enforcement of the anti trust law The controversy over the re- organization plan of the American To- baeco company served as medium to keep alive that subject.
 Acceptance of the proposed plans by the court would be hailed by corporations as offering way out for those who have cause to fear the inhibtions of the law. This was indicated by the stock market depression occasioned by opposition to the tobacco plan. Corresponding stimulation had been caused previously by news of the progress of the plan and agreement to il of the various classes of security folders ..e'rt
 The same influence was at the bottom of the fesponse .ef United Ststes, Steel shares to the report that the fcontract for the Great Northern ores supplies was to be terminated. sThis report was coapled with one thatsore freight rates would be reduced by the railroads contfolled by sIsiiiteds States Steel ssss sSSt
 The special in1portance attached l. these intended actions grew out of the stress laid by the commissioner of com merce in his report to the President upon the Steel corporations control of ore hold ings, and ore transportation facilities as contrayeuing the antitrust law.
 In the copper trade an advance in the price of refined copper was taken to in- dicate improved conditions. A fall in cotton to below cents pound was symptomatic of plentiful supplies with helpful effect upon textile production.
 Evidences multiplied of the exceedingly strong financial condition of the country September foreign trade made record for that month in valne of exports. of i'm ports and of excess of exports. Sustained strength Of foreign exchange in face of this strong credit position marked the reliance of foreign money markets on borrowing in New York.

COTTON MARKET |S EVENLY BALANCED Complete Returns Regard ing Cold Severity Ready 
 THE GINNING REPORT Crop Experts Believe That Crop Is So Far Advanced the Cold Wealth
 CT Can Do Little Harm.
 Bulls Hopeful
THE GINNING REPORT

New Orleans October 22.--It may be that the main events in the cotton market this week will about balance each other. The first real cold snap of the season has spread over the cot ton belt since the market closed last week and complete returns regarding it's severity ought to be available on the opening session of the new week. Against this as a bullish factor will be the expectations regarding the cen sus bureau report on ginning. 10 be given out Wednesday morning. at 2 o'clock. The contention of the bears and even of conservative bulls is that cold weather will do little real dam age although no enc denies that the sentimental effect of frost and free2- ing weather, on the future market is likely to be pronounced. The hope of the bulls Is that it will jolt spot peo- pie into buying what they require.
 It is likely that the effect of cold weather on opinion in Europe will be much greater than in this country and again the bulls hope that it will start spinners to purchasing their require ments. Crop experts quite generally ana pernapS majority or New Or leans traders believe that the crop is SO far advanced and open to such an extent that frost can do little harm.
 In the more northern portions of the belt it will kill the top crop but it has been pointed out time and again this fall by circular writers that the northern sections of the belt do not expect to raise n top crop as the usual thing.
 The ginners' report is not expected to do anything but confirm large crop ideas. Estimates of it run from about 7500,00 to S,000.000 bales.
 Probably the average idea is around 7,700,0 900 or 7.S00.000 bales. It will take returns over 7,S00,000 to put prices down very much and probable figures considerably under 7,500,000 to cause much of an advance.
 A year ago the ginners returns were $40, ,000 bales and two years ago they were 5.530.967.
 The spot demand will be watched very closely this week for those who are bullishly inclined have the theorv that spots are going to lead futures n the recation upward that seems cer- the reaction upward that seems cer- futures on the long decline that the market has just passed through.

STEEL BUSINESS
 IS HEAVILY OFF October Tonnage May Be Much Less Than Sep
 tember

New York, October 22.-The volume of business in finished steel products last week fell off heavily and the in- dications are that the tonnage of new orders booked in October may be con siderably less than in September. The reduction of s4 in tin plate from re- cent sales made in the open mark ct and $6 per ton from the official price established on February < 1910. has brought the general level of prices or the principal steel products S1.4O per ton under the lowest point in 1909. The decline from the prices prevailing in January, 1910, is g. per ton and from the high point in November. 1907, the drop has been s11.50 per ton.
 Contracts for rails, cars, locomotives and bridges last week were insignifi- cant. Contracts for steel buildings also were unusually light, calling for less than 1000 tons of steel Notwithstand- : ing the. low prices for structural ma terial of all kinds new building prof. ects in the metropolitan districts are being discouraged by the difficulty of obtaining loans
 The most encouraging features are export orders and contracts to cover marine work
 Pig iron trade was unsettled and prices irregular, but including about 30000 tons of basic iron disposed of in exchange and combination deals transactions last week aggregated 7o00 tons. In the eastern territory there was more buying of foundry grades in small lots by stove works. manufac- turers of machinery, plumbers sup niles and jobbinp founders
 stock of pig iron in the central west decreased 1000 tons during the first half of october and 34,000 tons in Sep tembor

It Is unoffioially stated in Cullman
 that the local option election will be
 caled for November 30 The petition
 has been thoroughly gone over by an expert accountant and 1t is said that
 it contains the full 45 per cent of the qualified voters of the county and that Judge Burke will call the election for
 that date. In the meantime the anti saloonists of the county are making
 preparations for the campaign and the
 indications. are that this will be one
 of the hottest yet held in the state.
 The local optionists will perfect an organization and do all in their power to carry the county for the open sa- loon, but it is not believed that the people in the country beats will vote for the return of the open saloon. AL
 ready some of the leaders -of-the pro- hibition forces. have been making in- quries into conditions in some of tho country beats of the county and re- ports are to the effect that the pro- lhibltionists will carry tho county by a good majority If the election should be called for that date very little time vii be left in which to make a thor ough campaign on either side but just as soon as the call is issued those op- posed to the open saloon and the local optionists will go about the work in dead earnest. Considerable talk con- cerning the coming campaign is now heard on the streets and elsewhere.
