COTTON GAINS On
REPORT Of FROST.
SpinnerS Behind With Orders,
Causing Spot Interests to
Become Heavy Buyers.

NEW YORK, Oct 24.-Light frosts over
the eastern belt last night caused the cot
ton market TO open . TO points higher
today Gables were also slightly better
than due. After the call the list ruled 5
points above last nights final Wall
street bought little while Liverpool sold.
Futures and spot in Liverpool were
barely steady
Throughout the early session trading
was light, but the market ruled very
steady with very little cotton for sale.
The buying seemed to come from larger
lngs and there was some buying by Wall
street The selling seemed 10 come
chiefly from the South and the Waldorf
crowd. Prices were firmly maintained in
close range of the opening, The large
amount Of cotton that has been sold
during the past few days has been alb
sorbed by large spot houses. 1t is be-
heved that the ring operators here are
short, but they believe the heavy pressure
OF spots will cause depression in prices.
However. spinners are short and have
sold goods ahead; II is more than likely
prices viii be sustained and no serious de-
cline will predominant at present.
During the afternoon trading a precipi-
tant short covering wave prevailed which
stimulated the market and prices rallied
the initial figures, This aggressiveness
was said to been caused by the frost warn
ing predicted over the larger portion OF
the eastern belt for tonight. However,
the market fails to respond to good buy
ing as the consensus of opinion is that
ginners will show figures around 1000 DOC
bales and the amount will be about "a per
cent of the CROP.
At the close the market was barely
steady with prices showing a net gain OF
I to 10 points from the final quotations
of Wednesday,

HAYWARD g. cLARks
DAILY COTTON LETTER

NEW ORLEANS, Oct 24-The weather
map shows fair weather in the Atlantics
cloudy in the rest of the belt. No rain,
but light frost general over eastern belt.
Warmer in western half. Indications are
for generally fair and continued cold wave
in the eastern states. Unsettled and rainy
weather coming on western and central
states. There is a strong cold wave form
alton in the northwest, but it has not yet
started to move.
Liverpool is steady on futures, but
quotes spots points lower; sales 10000
bales. During the past month of compar-
atively slow spot business and cheek to
business by political conditions much OF
the crop has been hedged by the sale of
futures and the contract markets appear
consested with short interest This is
probably the reason Of the present stub
bornness.
New York reports less desire this morn
ing to sell and spot houses again absorb
ing the selling. our market opened at
about unchanged figures. but soon adj
vanced 10 points and ruled steady, There
is more trade demand and more spot
business now and, as more spot cotton
is hedged with futures. this demand calls
for more buying back of hedges,
which speculation may AT present feel
like satisfying hence the probability of
a reaction in the contract markets while
this increased spot demand exists.

CHICAGO, oct. 2f-Wheat suffered
price recessions of ss0& this morning on
the declines of y q 34d at Liverpool and
the increased offerings there from Argen-
tina and other exporting countries. Lit
tie attention was given the Balkan affair
on either side of the water While North

siderably smaller than a week ago they
exceeded those of a year ago at Mime
apolis and Duluth, but they were some-
what lighter than a year ago at Winni-
peg.
Corn was 14@9sc lower today on the
weakness in foreign markets, and the
promise for increased shipments from
Argentina.

the bottom prices during the last half
hour of the days session wheat closed
with losses of 4 to lie and the volume of
