COTTON MARKET
 CLOSES STEADY At Net Advance of 1 to 6 POints-Rallies During Days Trading

New York, November 11-After opening
 lower in response to disappointing Lever- pool cables the cotton market rallied during today's trading on bull support and cov- erlng which probably was inspired chiefly by predictions of unfavorable weather oyer Sunday. The close was very steady at net advance of to points
 The market opened steady at decline of to points.
 This decline carried January back to a little under the Sc mark once more and very much the same resistance devel- oped around that level as previously dis- closed during the past three or four weeks
 The market soon steadied. however, and later in the morning sold about 3 10 ! points net higher on support from the same strong interests. who were aggres- sive buyers on Thursday and Friday and covering for over the week end.
 The close was within point or two of the best on the active months. The fore cast for snow and cold weather in the western belt no doubt accounted for much of the covering as scattering shorts showed little disposition 10 carry their commitments over Sunday in the face of a probable bad weather map and in view of the talk of continued southern hold ing.
 Some were inclined to regard the iela- tive weakness of Liverpool which has recently shown leading strength as re- fiecting less favorable, view of the sit uation in the China trade. but it is said that while China merchants have attempt- ed to cancel orders for goods in the do- nestle market, the mills have refused to permit such action on the ground that the port of Shanghai is open and that there is no reason why the shipments should not be made
 Comparatively little news was circulat- ing from southern spot centers during the morning and probably the failure of yesterdays later report of an easier ten- dency to receive confirmation of char acter suggesting a general loosening up of holders helped to steady the futures trade during the morning in connection with the prospect of more unfavorable weather for ginning and the other move ments
 Receipts at the ports today, 7o,oOo bales, against 9,4s6 bales last week, and A. 5I9 last year
 For the week, 450ee0 bales, against 351. L. ADO last week, and 414,s23 last year. Today's receipts at New Orleans. 9J73 bales. against 5151 last year, and at Hous- ten, H,129 bales, against 1l,472 last year.

Weekly Cotton Review

New Orleans, November 1.-The cot ton market this week closed Is points higher than last on the more active months. The high prices of the week were made on Friday and the low prices
 on Wednesday,; at the highest they were 8 to 20 points over last week s close and at the lowest they were to $ points under. The range of prices was 25 to 2S points.
 I The low prices of the week followed | the publication of the census bureau re- | port of approximately 10,000,000 bales of cotton ginned to November l, the largest amount on record to that date. The market would have declined furth- CT but for extremely heavy covering by large shorts. This covering was in evidence in all three of the big mar
 kets of the world and was estimated at over quarter of million bales
 The high prices on Friday were made on this covering quite as much s on anything else, although purchases by scalping longs helped the market along
 Reports from the English market that foreign spinners were buying con tract far ahead, even as far as the crop of 19121913, had a stimulating in fluence on prices and offset. to a great extent, the large crop estimations put out by prominent brokerage firms Some of these estimates were as high as 16,000,000 bales. They melted scalp ing shorts, but had no other effect.
 The weather of the week in the main was too much rain. which had the ten dency to further lower grade of picked cotton. Complaints of low grade were received from many points in the in- terior and it was said that this would eventually lead to very heavy deliv- cries on contracts. The bears predicted that this would be factor greatly in their favor before the season is over,
 In the spot department prices re- mained unchanged at 9Ac the week through. This was also last weeks closing level. This week last year mid ding closed at 145sc Sales on the spot amounted to 2315 bales against 1864 last week and 4450 this week last year; sales to arrive amounted to Ill., 975 tales against 11,676 last week and 14,S75 this week last year.

PRICES GODOWN
 WITH A CRASH
 
 II .s
 Wheat Market Closed Com paratively Steady But :. at a Loss

Chicago. November 11.-Wheat snapped back more than 2 cents today after a sudden jump upward of aeeent. Shorts In A. stamoede over sensational damage said to have been caused by the blizzard northwest forced the bulge until deluge of profit taking sales on spreads between Minneapolis and Chicago sent prices down with crash. The close was com paratively steady, but at a loss of 1aqSsc to .1c net.
 Assertions that millions of bushels of wheat on the Canadian prairies had been frozen and buried by the blizzard were at first received with incredulity, but when apparently backed up by the action of northwestern markets short sellers nere were put into such furry that every thing else for the moment was lost sight of.
 Minneapolis later reported certain Chi north.
 About the same time it developed that one of the principal holders of cash wheat here had been unloading busily through the medium of December con- tracts. All the advance and much more il. addition quickly melted away, and for a time dealers who had favored the bull side showed evidence of being as demor- alized as had been the case earlier with opponents.
 Subsequently a feeling sprang up that the reaction had been excessive and as result the last 15 minutes of trading was relatively free from the cratic movements that had bewildered the pit during the rest of the session.
 Between the opening and the close De- cember fiuctuated from 93c to 931sc and 95Ac, closing at 93A, a full cent under yesterday.
 In contrast with wheat the market for corn was dull affair, governed almost wholly by the course of the more expen- sive cereal. As if by common consent the big traders kept out of sight. December ranged from 62ss@63Ac to s31ac, and closed steady and as@1ac down at 62s4@62bc.
 Cash grades were in good demand. No ? yellow was quoted as 73474c. '---.
 Active selling by both longs and shorts destroyed strength that had shown it. self effectually in oats because of small offerings from the country early. The late drive at prices, however, appeared to be a natural sequence of the weak ness of other grains.
 Hlsh and low levels touched by De- cember were 47&G477sc and 4714c, with the close at the last named figures, loss of 1se from last night
 There was no demand for packing house products until prices made substantial drop. On the contrary the recent ad- vances brought in many selling orders against former opinions expressed and broke the market. The blackboards showed provisions descended in cost by 1Oc to 20c all around.
 Future quotations were as follows

Latest Style in Dancing

From the New York Press.
 Far more important in the eyes of fash ionable Europe than the wrangles of diplo, mats about the fate of Italy and Turkey is the convention of dancing masters in Paris to determine what the styles for the coming season are to be. Delegates to the conclave are of the opinion ballroom danc- ing is becoming simpler than ever before and that the swaying. rhythmical trot dances of South America are the most popular movements of the day There was time when such intricate figures a: gavottes and serabandes were danced by society people. but dances so sedate, it seems, long have been abondaned for the swinging glide of the Boston and the cu- rious twnings of the Turkey Trot, and its many limitations. The modern mazurka, Louis XIV watz-minuet and the .Argen- tine fve-step have finally been settled on as the most approprate dances for the coming winter

First prices were the lowest in the early trading, as yes terday's sellers started covering and their demand YVES more than the ring could supply The weather man was cloudy, but no great amount of rain fell over the cot ton region. A small amount of fresh short selling was in evidence based on the bearish weekly statistics. but the mar ket had good tone and at the end of the first half hour of business prices were to 3 points over yesterdays close or, the more active months.
 The forecast of rain, snow and cold weather for the cotton belt over Sunday stimulated buying and around the middle of the morning the market was very steady in spite of the moderate amount

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, November 1.-tSpecial.) J Although Liverpool was distinctly weaker than expected and our mark ct lower at the opening there was a de- mand from the same buyers as last week which absorbed the offerin gs. This buying continued to the close, which was firm. It is based partly on the expected revision of the low grades next week and partly on the small stock of cotton in New York and on the feeling that the south will con tinue to hold. Therefore 1t is unlikely that any decline can occur. No atten- tion was paid to the remarkable con dition of affairs in China. which must affect the buying of co-ton goods for Chinese account in Manchest Liver- pool should advance points on Mon day.

RAPID ADVANCE IN STOCKS CHECKED The Market Steadied By Increased Outside
 Buying

:. New York, November 1.-The rapid Advance in stocks was checked today by extensive realizing. After heavy opening the market advanced in spite Of the flood of profit taking sales, eX- hfbiting degree of strength which surprised traders who looked for an extensive reaction. Reading rose E to 5Sls, its highest price since August, and other active stocks rebounded from their low figures.
 The list did not remain long at any given point however and after series of irregular movement sold off toward the close. Some of the active issues, including United States Steer, Union Pacific, Amalgamated Copper and Northern Pacific lost point or so on the day. It was at the opening of the market that the list wthstood the selling In way which demonstrated considerable underlying strength. After such an extended advance as has taken place within the last two weeks it was thought that a reaction was to he expected and it was this view profes slohal operators were quick to take the profits which had accrued on the pull sue.
 The market was stcadied to some extent by increased outside buying as Indicated by the breadth of trading International Harvester was especially weak with a loss of 21s points. Lehigh Valley was again prominent in the trading and touched 1S0.
 The placing of railroad bonds which has been on a much more active scale of late was continued today. Sales of ponds of the Atlantic Coast Line and the Texas Central were announced. AL eantic Coast Line was one of the heay- lest Of the railroad stocks. Omission or the dividend of the Vandalia seemed 10 be without influence on Pennsyl- Nanla, which owns the majority of the stock.
 The actual bank statement showed an increase in cash as well above S3,- oOo,o0O despite preliminary estimates of small cash loss. Although loans in creased more than $5,000,OOO there was a net gain in surplus reserve of s2. 0o0,000 In the average table, however. s2,O00,000 loss in surplus. was re- corded.
 Bonds were irregular. Total sales par value, $1,935,0o0. United States Ss ad- Vanced IS on call on the week.
