FROST CAN DO LITTLE
HARM TOCOTTON CROP

New Orleans. La, October o2.-The
first real cold snap of the season has
spread over the cotton belt since the
market closed last week, and complete
returns regarding its 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 Census Bureau report
on ginning. to be given out Wednesday
morning at 10 o'clock in New Orleans.
The contention of the bears and even
OF some bulls. is that cold weather will
do little real damage. The hope Of
the bulls is that it will jolt the spot
people into buying what they require
1t Is maintained that the effect of cold
weather in Europe will be much great
er than In this country, and the bulls
hope it will start spinners purchasing
their requirements. 1t Is generally
conceded that the crop is so far ad
Vanced that frost can do 1t little harm.
In the more northern portions OF the
belt 1t will kill the top crop, but this
has been expected
The sinners' report is not expected
to do anything but confirm large crop

about 100000 to 100000 bales II

New York, October 22.-The stock
market last week seemed TO be in the
hands of operators OF the habitnally
speculative class. Dealings were in
a handful OF stocks from day to day,
the total being small. The waVeriEg
iiuctuationsspf PRICES demonstrates the
lack OF gen. raj factors. Prices did
not move far in one direction. without
cncounteyinS obstacles. chiefly on ac-
count OF efforts 10 garner speculative
profits. Stock market discussion con-
tinued to deal largely with the oIop-
able consequences of enforcement Of
the antitrust law. The controversy
over the reorganization plan OF the
American Tobacco Company served as
medium to keep alive that subject.
Acceptance of the proposed plan by
the court would he hailed by cor
porations as Offering a way out Tor
those who have cause 10 fear the in
hibitions OF the law. This was indicat-
ed by the stock market depression oc-
casioned by opposition to the tobacco
plan. Corresponding stimulation had
been caused previously by news of the
progress OF the plan and agreement TO
it OF the various classes of security
holders.
The same influence was at the bot
tom or the response of United States
'oletl SiditS " lI4t report lildl the CC-l
tract for the Great Northern ore sup
plies was TO be terminated This re-
port was coupled with one that orc
freight rates would be reduced by the
railroads controlled by the United
States steel. The special Importance
attached 10 these intended actions
grew out of the stress laid by the
Commissioner of Corporations in his
report to the steel corporations con-
troll OF ore holdings and facilities as
contravening the antitrust law
In the copper trade an advance In
the price of refined copper was taken
10 Indicate improved conditions A
fall in cotton 10 below cents a pound
was symptomatic of plentiful sup
plies with helpful effect upon textile
production.
Evidences multiplied OF the exceed :
tngly strong financial condition of tho
country. September foreign trade made
record for that month in value of ex.
ports. Of imports and of excess Of ex-
ports. Sustained strength of foreign
exchange in face OF this strong credit
position marked the reliance Of
foreign money markets on borrowing
in New York.
