WEATHER BUREAU WARNS OF

The Weather Bureau gave warning
early Of a sweltsrlng day to-day. For

that the thermometers, which during
the day marked lO2 degrees and n shade

did not bring the expected relief. UGH

Bad One on Brown.

Brown is a travelling man who lives
in West Philadelphia. He has little
three-year-old who has Just learned to
say her prayers. Every Sunday Brown
gets home for few hours. but
this is about all the time he has with
his family.
Consequently. the little girl is not
as well acquainted. perhaps, as she
might be with his relation to the fam
lily. although she thinks him very nice
because of the candy and presents he
brings to her.
Mrs. Brown, in teaching the child
its prayers. of course. taught her to
ask a blessing for papa" along with
mamma" and grandma" and grand
pa" and the other persons the child
knows well. She was much surprised
the other night when the child at the
end of Now l lay me-" recited ths'
remainder of the prayer like this:

grandpa, Willie and that man who
comes to see mamma every Sunday
and brings me such nice things"

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York. November 1-Many Amer ican selling orders were sent from here to Liverpool before our market opened, so that market recovered the decline and advanced some points. These orders. to- gether with the demand here during the day, were based on the belief there would be demand at about these prices which would continue for some little time. therefore it was better to withdraw from the market pending events. This thought appears to have caused many to withdraw from the market. They do not wish to go long in view of the upheaval in China, where business Is at a standstill, nor do they see any reason to doubt the large crop estimate, but they feel like looking on. So extensive has been this with drawal of interest that the market is technically weaker to withstand any pressure from the south should it came. Liverpool is expected to be a shade better tomorrow.

COTTON MARKET
 OPENS STEADY Heavy Selling Based on Ma tiOnal Ginners' Prelim-
 mary Returns

New York, November 1.-After an early sharp advance in response to sharp ca' bles and cold weather news from the western belt, the cotton market turned quieter and gradually worked off little under big crop estimates, closing steady at an advance of to g points, but from 3 to 8 points under the best prices of the session.
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of to 10 points and made further gains of about points on near months and 3 to 4 points on later positions. The buying was active at times, particularly by Liverpool, the south and Wall street. but on every advance over the ce1t level for January seemed to meet lib- eral pressure. Part of this selling was based on rumors that the national gin ners' preliminary returns indicated a gin ming to October 31 of over 9,S00,oOO bales. although this was denied. prominent New Orleans authority estimated the crop at 15,1Oo,Oo0 bales minimum and pri- vate estimate as high as 100000 was telegraphed from Memphis.
 The western belt forecast indicated freezing temperatures for Thursday with prospects for colder weather Friday from the northwest, where zero weather was reported.
 Reports from China said that the na- stive money market had been much af- fected by the revolution and that pros- poets for the cotton goods business looked poor A good demand exists for high grades of cotton In the interior, &C., cording to advices received here, but grades for middling and below showed weakness with accumulations very large. It was again matter of comment here that notwithstanding a huge short in terest bears seemed able to cover large quantities of cotton on comparatively small advance. The port receipts were much lighter, due to the fact that the end of the month shipments had been filled. local crop authority was out with a statement that 75 per cent of the crop had been picked, that frost was not likely to injure cotton and that the south was holding more freely.
 Receipts at the ports today, 5S,3l9 bales. against 73,551 last week and 53,653 last year.
 Today's receipts at New Orleans 3S2S bales, against 11,013 last year, and at Houston 1885 bales, against 1o,764 last year.

WHEAT QUOTATIONS FULLY RECOVERED ? sF1 The Market Is Influenced By Snowstorm in
 Canada

Chicago, November 1.-Wheat rebounds ed today after being for time demoral- ized, owing to large sales by a house that has been identified with the leading bullish clique. Reports of export flour sales at Toledo helped cause the rally Closing figures were 1sQA to 14c net lower, but firm. Corn finished unchanged to a shade up, oats either not altered or 1s higher and hog products at 221k to 271EQS5c advance. The recovery in wheat attracted wide attention in view of 1he fact that at the lowest point of the session the market had broken nearly : cents from last night and almost 8 cents compared with 10 days ago. Export flour sales at Toledo which appeared to start the upturn were said to be the largest so far this season.
 A heavy snow storm sweeping down the Canadian northwest exerted bullish influence of scarcity less important. It was conjectured that the consequet stop- page of threshing might be permanent for the winter.
 Earlier in the day the bears had made much commotion over the big receipts northwest. Between the opening and the close December fluctuated from 945s to 961hc with last sales 96Ac, decline of Ac net.
 Corn followed the general course as wheat and was decidedly active, though net in such semi-hysteric way as the more expensive cereal. Cold weather, the best possible for the conditioning and marketing of new corn furnished req son enough for a decline, but the lower price led to lively reinstating on the part of longs. In consequence the mar ket recovered the ground lost and a trifle more besides. December ranged from 62Ac to 6Sssc, closing a shade up at eSd631sc.
 In oats business was relatively light. A prominent elevator concern bought, while the market was declining with other grain. Accordingly, bulls took heart again, upper and lower levels touched by December proved to be 467sc and 45as@451sc, with the close 46Ac, a gain of 1sc over last night.
 Estimates tending to show a big De- cember in the worlds lard supply turned the provision market upward despite a large run of hogs west When the pit was cleaned pork had risen 271a@35c; lard 15c to 221s@25c and ribs 15c to 156171ac.
