THE CROP MARKETS
Wheat and Corn Lower-0ats
Steady-Coffee Higher.

Bearish conditions here were sufficient
to overcome bulllsh reports from abroad,
and the wheat market, which responded
In the forenoon 10 cables telling Of dam
age TO the foreign crops and advanced
hqSc, felt the effects of greatly increased
stocks at Northwestern points and a
scarcity or cars in the Southwest, and re-
acted In the afternoon, renewed selling
forcing prices down to close Ssglac under
that OF Wednesday. Corn also answered
to firm cables at the start, but declined
steadily on weakness in the September
option and a drop IN cash values. The
close was at net loss OF 7sq1sc, but on
the scale down there was an increase in
the export demand for new crop corn.
Oats held the steady tone which has char
acterized the market OF late and with
the cash and export demand sufficient TO
take care OF offerings for some time the
market held up. though trading was not
active.
Another frost scare from Brazil struck
tho coffee market, after prices here had
declined TO points at the start on an
easier feeling In foreign markets and a
drop Of about 10 points in the cost and
freight market. The result OF the frost
reports was a rally which carried some
Of tho active positions up 20 points from
the bottom, and left trading at a point
10 - points net higher for the day.

THE COTTON MARKET
Responds to Weather Condi-
tons and Closes Higher.

Fears OF crop damage from the Gulf
storm, with higher cables and reports
that hedge selling was less active in Liv-
erpool, were responsible for an early ad-
vance in the cotton market which car
ried January contracts TO & 20 a bale
above the low Of yesterday morning. with
active covering and buying for fresh lopg
accounts. At tho top of the bulge realiz-
ing became attractive, and the market
eased off or points, but flrmed up
again, and reached the highest point OF
the day in the early afternoon, when
active months were from q TO 80 points
net higher. Realizing again cost the mar
ket a few points, but the close was
steady, or 10 points down from the top,
but at a net gain of Il to 90 points for the
dag. 1t is felt that while there may be
nervousness over the Gulf storm as long
as Il is In evidence, selling for short ac-
count will also be checked by the feeling
that any extensive scare Will bring enough
demand from spinners 10 absorb the in
creasing receipts. Southern spot markets
