COTTON MARKET E
 OPENED STEADY
Though Weakened Under Overnight Selling Orders.
 Close Net Higher

New York, November 14.-While more or less nervous and irregular the cotton market today made a generally better showing than yesterday, as result or covering over the meeting of the revis- ion commission of the exchange tomorrow and pending better indications as to the showing of the census report which IS due next Monday. The close was very steady and from 10 to 12 points net higher.
 The market opened steady at an advance of 2a5 points in response to better cables than expected, but almost immediately weakened under overnight selling orders which were supposed to have been att tracted by the easier tone of the market late yesterday. Active months sold about point under the closing figures of last night during the early trading, but the decline was checked by covering, mod crate trading demand on little support from the bullish sources with prices lat CT working higher on rumors that pre- iminary returns to the National Ginners' association showed a big falling off in ginning for the last period and continued app iSiShoioii tiltt d iCNioiOh Ol grade differences by the commission at the meeting after the close tomorrow night might make 1t more difficult to. bring cotton from the south for delivery on contract. Fluctuations were more IT, regular during the afternoon, but the trend of the market seemed upward and the highest points of the day were reach ed in the late trading when December sold at $943 and January at $s.17. Last prices were within a point or two of the best. It is stated that some mern- bers believe that rains and cold snaps have lowered the grade of a great deal of open cotton in the field and are ad- vocating a material increase in the pen alties on low grades as applied to de- liveries on local contracts and the mar ket today seemed to be very nervous over the uncertainty in this direction, while covering also was encouraged by the fear of small ginning returns, al- though the rumors regarding the report of the National Ginners' association were denied by Memphis wires.
 Receipts today were 10, 439 bales against 0.631 last week and 91,273 last year. Today's receipts at New Orleans were 1886 against 12,344 last year and at Houston 24,194 against IS, ,250 last year.

 Senator Williams arrived in New Or leans early yesterday morning from his home in Yazoo City, Miss, not a little banged up as the result of being violently thrown to the ground late yesterday when his fine team of horses ran away en route from his home to the station. TIis right side and face were badly scratch ed and a finger on his left hand was banged. He found 1t necessary to have his wounds dressed here, but had just few minutes between trains. friend took him to a nearby establishment, where his bruises were permanently at tended to by a veterinary surgeon. After the job was completed he learned that he was in horse hospital and gave vent to the above expression.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, November 1i-(SpeciaD - Liverpool opened lower. but on the whole was better than anticipated. so that our market has shown very steady under tone, advancing to 10 points, closing firm. Rumors that the revision tomor- row would be severe one has had some effect, though no one is in a position to foreshadow the action of II men, all hold ing ideas of their own.
 Experiments made in New England mill by a committee from the exchange, with low middlng cotton from the 1906 crop showed the difference between mid ding and low middling to be 3.25 per cent -see page 317, Agricultural Committee, House of Representatives, 1910. Similar experiments were made by continental spinners and by Clemson Agricultural col lege, South Carolina, giving closely ap- proximate results. Naturally the wider the difference the less the farmer re- celves for his low grades. Some south- ern buyers urge difference of 1 cent between low middling and middling

ARGENTINE CROP
 WILL BE LARGE
Predictions Bewilder Wheat SpeculatOrs-Advance in
 Corn Outcome

Chicago, November 14.--Predictiors that the Argentine crop will reach more than 50,000,000 bushels in ex- cess of the bumper yield of 1907 be- wildered wheat spectators today-put stop to an upturn here today in the market prices. The close was within shade either way from last nights figures.
 In corn the outcome was a net ad vance of 1ac to 5s@%c; oats finished unchanged to 1sc up. and hog products closed the same as 24 hours previous or varying to 10c below.
 The basis for raising estimates on the Argentine output was belief that the acreage had been calculated far toe low although figured at an increase of nearly one-siXth over 1907. News of this sort from South America seemed to act as a wet blanket on prospects for a material advance in quotations.
 Besides the worlds available supply of wheat was shown to have climbed to almost the total of a year ago. Scat tered commission house trade never theless absorbed all pit offerings, re- sisted every raid and brought the mar ket back from each decline.
 reason was that winter wheat re- ceipts southwest were sensationally small, presumably owing to recent rough weather and low prices com blned. Leading cash interests here moreover, reported sales large-thougll naming no specific quantity-but in the end the opposing influences ap- peared to be evenly balanced and the closing tone was steady.
 During the session December f1uctu- ated between 92%c to 92%c and 9s% with last sales 9Sh@92%c, a net gain of shade.
 Corn developed strength on account of small receipts and light offerings Besides stocks are scant here and there was quite a general desire on the part of large local shorts to get a shallow water berth. December ranged from 63s @69 Bc, closing steady %c up at 63%c.
 Cash grades were firm. No. ? yellow was quoted at 73h @74c.
 Purchasing by group of Chicago dealers made better market for oats despite fair sales from elevator sources and shipping demand exhibited some improvement.
 High and low levels touched by the December option proved to be 47% c and 471ac with the close 475sc, just the same as last figures yesterday.
 With the run of hogs west reported nearly third more than for the cor responding day a year ago, provisions showed a tendency to drop. Buyers were backward except when allowed conces- stons. At the close lard had sunk 50 1Oc and other products trailed from yesterdays finals to 71ac decline.

LOSSES REDUCED TOWARD CLOSE
Prices Drift Slowly To Low. CT Level During Most of
 Tuesdays Trading

New York, November 14.-Pfices
 drifted slowly toward a lower level ]. during most of today's trading in { stocks. At no time was the movement
 abrupt and a rally late in the day re-
 duced losses largely so that at the close
 changes for the most part were small. Profit taking was continued In a mod crate way and the willingness of hold
 CTS of long stocks to sell whenever favorable opportunities were presented apparently was largely responsible for
 the course of the market. No general investment demand has appeared with the result that the absortive power of the market is limited although it has been sufficient to preserve the great CT part of the recent large advances. Trading at times was listless and pro- fessional dealings made up the bulk of the total.
 The late rally in prices apparently was based upon the recent order of the commerce court granting tenn porary injunction in the inter- mountain freight rate cases, the text of which was made known today. Much was made of the restrictions laid upon the interstate commerce commission in reg ulating rates under the long and short haul clause. That the court thus rules against what is probably the commerce commissions most important order of the kind was regarded as of great inn portance. Railroad stocks were bought heavily on publication of the text of the courts order. Union Pacific derived the greatest benefit with a rise of near | 1y points. The whole market i'm i, proved moderately.
 The bears found ammunition earlier in the day in the custer decree of the \ Missouri supreme court against the In ternational Harvester company The stock had been moving uncertainty for several days on reports that the com pany had not been able to agree with the department of justice upon a plan of reorganization to prove it's stand ing under the sherman law. When the decision of the Missouri court was an- nounced 1t broke 5Ss points. The bears attacked the list vigorously and suc- ceeded in depressing prices somewhat, but the losses were small except in the cases of Interna tional Harvester itself, which later recovered half of it's de- cline.
 The coal roads were again prominent The Lehigh Valley touched 1874 equal ling it's high price for the present movement. Reading fluctuated widely and after gaining more than a point closed nearly ? points off St. Paul again showed weakness and United States Steel Jagged behind. A vigorous selling movement started late in the last hour. Much of the selling was re- ported to come from London, owing to apprehension there over the failure of colonial bank. Early in the session London sent over buying orders amounting to perhaps 25.0O0 shares, taking United States Steel, Amalga- mated Copper, Union Pacific, Reading !! and Rock Island on the recession in this market.
 The bond market was irregular with American Tobacco issues again show ing conspicuous firmness. s VT Total sales, par value, $4,556,000. United States bonds unchanged on call. f

hour of business. prices were to points under yesterdays close.
 Toward the middle of the morning the market steadied on the report that pri- vate crop reporting bureaus were coming out with an estimate showing that only about as much cotton was ginned between November 1 and November IA as was ginned last year in the same period. This caused covering among nervous shorts and stimulated considerable buying for long account. with the result that at noon prices of the most active months were , to points over yesterdays close. The advance was checked by the statement from spot people that the interior was of fering cotton more freely.
 In the afternoon the market was quiet but very steady. At o'clock prices were ' to points over yesterdays close.

New Orleans, New York, Galveston and New Orleans and Havana The steamers were valued at $12.O0O,O00. The state claimed the right to impose a. tax because Kentucky was the domicile of the corporation.
