HEAVY GAINS ON
 SHORT COVERING Advance of Nearly $1 Per Bale-Trade Interests
 Demand Active

New York; October 1S-There was an cotton market today on active demand from trade interests and covering of shorts influenced by rumors that lead ing spot houses had taken the bull side of the market and apprehensive of cold weather over Sunday. The close was steady at a net gain of some 14 to 2S points for the day
 The market opened steady at de- cline of points to an advance of 2 points, near months being lower in re- sponse to disappointing cables. while later positions reflected nervousness over the weather outlook and covering of shorts. It soon developed that there were big buying orders in the market in the hands of houses connected with one of the big exporting concerns and prices quickly began to work higher
 The official forecast for colder wealth CT in the western belt and frost in the Texas panhandle, increased appre- tensions of killing temperatures in the belt over Sunday. The main factor, however, appeared to be the heavy buy ing from trade interests and reports from the south of good spot de- mand from both domestic and foreign traders.
 Liverpool attributed an early advance to small offerings of actual and French buying, while an easier turn just be- fore the local opening was aseribed to less satisfactory conditions In Man | chester and fear of further European l complications.

WHEAT ADVANCES ON TROUBLE ABROAD
Market Closes Steady Near ly a Cent Over Previous
 Day-Corn Gains

Chicago. October 1S,-Wheat traders fought shy of the selling side today. de- tered by the readiness with which offer ings were absorbed, and by the chance of Russia becoming entanged with Tur- key. An advance resulted, the market closing steady lsc to 1eassc over last night Corn gained 4a3so to lAc; oats finished is@i4c up, and provisions varied from 10c decline to rise of 2lfc.
 Wheat came higher, notwithstanding heavy receipts in the northwest. The bulls ignored also reports that Russia kept tendering freely at cheapening rates. Liberal export sales in Chicago as well as at Kansas City and the Atlantic sea- board formed the offset Rain and snow were said to have become general in the Canadian fields. December ranged from 9llsc 10 92isc, with last sales 1s4ssc net higher al 92ssda2isc.
 Better call from the west and limited sales from the country led to an upturn and 5ss.c, closing firm lac above last night, at 5sisa53ssc Cash grades were strong. No yellow was quoted at 65i4M66c.
 Expected increase of arrivals prevented oats from showing more than moderate sympathy with other grain. Upper and lower levels touched for December were 3219c and 3oIsc, with the close 1sGAc uf at 32ssc.
 Despite much realizing by holders, pro- visions averaged higher most of the day Corn strength was largely responsible In the end prices stood at about last nights figures, except for 10c decline ir October pork.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, October 1s.-(SpeciaI )--Tne appearance of colder weather in the northwest, which 1t Is understood is fol- lowed by another cold wave of greater intensity. caused tho sellers of yesterday, who were watching the weather with great care. to buy upon tho opening. Many of their followers. however, did not know of thls information until later.
 Rains continued over the Mississippi valley. which will probably extend into the Atlantic states tomorrow.
 The movement of the crop was on q very large scale, but had been expected. while the openly expressed opinion by the leading spot house that cotton was cheap at present prices in view of the world wide expansion of business and the active demand for cotton goods fin all di- rectons, undoubtedly caused many who have been bearish to pause and seriously consider if these views should not be given more thought in determining the future course of prices than they had been willing to admit.

New Orleans Cotton Market

New Orleans, October 1s.-Cotton fa- lures opened steady, but unchanged to points down as compared with Thurs days closing prices. Cables were not up to expectations and shorts were inclined to offer cotton on tho war news from Europe. The weather map had many strings to it but the outlook was generally unfavorable and checked operations Too much rain fell over night in the cotton region and more was promised with every prospect that the precipitation would be followed by frost. At the end of the first half hour of business prices were | to points lower.
 Near the middle of the session heavv buying was In evidence. Gossip had it that 1t was from the largest spot houses. Shorts were placed on the register of attempting to cover and the buying fn- creased materially. Buying by spot peo- pie was said to be based partly on un- favorable weather and partly on a bet ter demand for good grades of spots, which bulls claim is being met by indif- ferent offerings and demands for higher premiums on the part of holders. Bear operators charged the long side with manipulation and engineering a. drive against shorts. Prices at noon were is to 2l points up from the lowest of the fore noon and 16 to II points over yesterdays closing prices
 The market soon weakened. At o'clock prices were IS points higher.

 DULLNESS FIGURE No Liquidation of American Stocks Abroad-Urgent
 Buying of Steel

New York. October 1s.-Dullness and lures of today's operations on the stock exchange. Revival of recent un- settlement on the foreign exchanges was contributing factor.
 There was no liquidation of our stocks abroad, but Londons level of prices at the close showed number of very material declines. especially Canadian Pacific, the coppers and American smelting. The feature here at the opening was the. heavy offer ings of Amalgamated Copper.
 Early weakness was shown also by Union Pacific and a few other issues of speculative importance, but the market turned strong at midday on urgent buying of United States Steel, which scored it's best price of the week. This movement impelled short covering in the general list after which the market lapsed Into extreme dull ness, except for the advances in spe- cialties, chiefly the tobaccos.
 Manhattan was evident In some or the more obscure stocks, including fertilizers and equipments. In the main dealings were again limited to indus trials, the movement in railway stocks being unusually restricted. Prices shaded with pressure upon amalga- mated copper and some abrupt declines in specialties from best quotations.
 Forecasts point to moderate .cash gain by local banks and a further con- traction of loans Is extremely prob able No material change in call or time loans was noted today and tone remained firm especially for the long natures. Bonds also moved uncertain ly with recessions in some of the more speculative issues. Total sales. par value, aggregated s1,450,0o0
 United States bonds were unchanged on call.

Trade on the Morris avenue markets continues to show marked improvement and at the close of the week is brisk in all commodities. Prices yesterday were unchanged and the receipts were plenti- full
 Meat prices are high for this time of the year, but this does not seem to af- feet the demand The shortage of live stock in the west Is given as the reason for these high meat prices. The grain dealers are doing a very fair business at firm prices, and indications point to a larger volume of trade next week. On the produce market there is great de- mand for California fruits.
