DOWNWARD COURSE,

Supplies Increasing Movement Quiet
End SomeWh Lower

New York, October 2s-Prices in do
nestle wheat markets followed a down.
ward course during the early dealings
last week. Demand showed material
abatement, which indicated to some
that large short interest had been
eliminated during the advance of the
week before. At the same time offer.
ings became fairly heavy, and 1t APP
pearcd evident that many holders for
the rise were In mood to unload. IL
seemed plain that large professional
operators, especially in Chicago, were
ready to let the market swing down
and back In continuation of their usual
milking process. They had appar-
emily reached a stage where they were
ready to unload. having doubtless
forced most shorts to cover. At such
times it'is generally easy to find other
and more legitimate influences to ac-
count for the weakness or strength, as
the case may be. In this instance. the
selling was ostensibly stimulated by

MUCH UNCERTAINTY
IN COTTON MARKET

New Orleans. October 2s.-The cot
ton market this week promises to
be fully as uncertain as 1t has been
of late. The main things to be con-
sidered are the spot demand. which is
likel-' to affect the minor settings, and
crop estimates, which ought to affect
the broad swing of the market. The
tendency recently has been to return
TO the large crop guesses of the earlier
part OF the fall and this week 1t is
probable that several sensationally
bearish estimates will be made The
large ginning returns in the last re-
port have been seized upon as a basis
for higher guesses.
The spot demand is an uncertain
quantity as this week the October
position will have been liquidated. The
recent good spot delivery has been
due in large measure to the scramble
TO NIL October shipments.
Bulls claim that November is to be

Stendicr spot Markets.
The Southern spot markets have been
holding UP fairly well against these
heavy receipts during the past week,
with Savannah the indicator quoting
cotton there at SIS to IL at Mobile
and l-2 at New Orleans. Spinners
have been buying cotton freely on the
recent declines, especially those in
England and on the Continent, not
withstanding the unsettled general
business conditions in politics in this
country and in Europe from the Italian
and Turkish war and the situation in
China. The latter has hurt business
materially at Manchester because many
of the English mills rely upon the
Chinese market for the snle of a large
portion of their output of yarns and
cloths. Nevertheless. the attractiveness
OF the present low price OF cotton has
been inducing purchases, Thus the
weeks takinGs y the worlds spinners
of American cotton are estimated as
high as 100000. bales. against $50, 900
ne corresponding week last year.
Ginning Figures and the Crop
Inc census Bureaus ginning report
covering the amount of cotton ginned
to October is, was issued on Wedncs-
day, and proved in line with the trades
expectations. 1t made the total T,74o,-
634 bales. against 5.a23,62S last year
and 5,5S0.967 in 1909. and 6.296,oOO In
1905. and s.4l7,o0o in 1904 the previous
largest ginning of the crop on record
for the period. The report was consid-
cred as bearsh BECAUSE on its face 1t
was regarded as representing only SO
per cent. of the crop. or the equivalent
Of total yield OF over $4,000, 900 bales,
against Mr. Ellison's estimate of the
worlds spinners' requirements for con-
sumption this year of about $4,000, 600
bales.
Estimates on the size Of the crop
based on ginning reports at this time
OF the year are likely to prove mis-
lead 'ns. This Is especially true in view
OF the fact that this crop developed
earlier and was picked and ginned
more rapidly than any other on record.
After the next two ginning reports
have been published there will un-
doubtedly be heavy decrease shown
In the ginning figures compared with
those of the previous big crop years.
