COTTON MARKET.

NEW YORK, Oct 15.-whiie the
cotton market was carried to new low
levels today sellers became cautious
at this junction, and while the bulls
were discouraged at the market out
look there was enough buying power
in the market to cause an advance OF
about fifteen points before the close.
1t Is quite possible that a severe gulf
storm. which originated in the Yucca
tan channel early In the week, and Is
now on the Texas coast, had some
thing to do with the iet-up in selling
orders. 1t Is however. more prob
able that the market has become
, really sold out, and would respond
! TO any favorable influence.
Tho weather map generally was not
unfavorable, apart from the posi-
| bility of serious disturbance on or
NEAR the coast of the gulf cotton

peratures were not anywhere near the

wake Of this storm, and II Is signifi-

CHICAGO GRAIN

CHICAGO. Oct. 16.---While the
wheat market displayed decidedly
weak feeling and resting spots We're at
declines of / TO / ia cents. there was
good buying, led by the Armour Grain
company
Nearly every professional In tho
wheat trade will go into the pit on
the board OF trade short more or less
of the May future tomorrow morning.
some of these men are short goodly
amounts, and to make matters worse
in the case of few sharp twists and
an upturn, their lines were poorly sold
and any advance will mean severe
losses.
It was reported early today that
exporters were heavy buyers of wheat
AT Duluth, but this was denied later
when It was said that Duluth was a
big seller Of futures at Minneapolis,
Winnipeg reported Liverpool as a re-
seller of both cash and futures there
ana exporters at our own seaboard said
early that bids today for export We're
2 IS cents below those OF Monday.
Yet 200, 600 bushels were reported as
taken late. Kansas City reported ex-
porters as fair buyers OF cash. wheat
there but the cash sales here Were
only 10000 bushels In scattered lots to
millers
The corn market was a surprise TO
the average speculator, as it. ruled
easier early. largely In sympathy with
the weakness In wheat. but It rallied

strong. 1t is expected that the re-
eeipts of this grain will fan off sharp
