although McGraw is known not to
favor the use of frst-year players in

However, the Giants leader broke
this rule last year when he used Tes-

OCTOBER SHORTS
BADLY SQUEEZED
Spot Firms and Shorts Big Buy
ers-Fresh Selling Appears on
Bulge Over 1910 for Jan.

NEW YORK. Oct. 31.-The break Of
so points for October Thursday was too
much on the nerves of local bulls here
and the cotton market opened steady
to-day with, a much better undertone
and first prices were l up to 4 points
lower than last nights close.
Liverpool came in about as due. This
coupled with bearish report rom Cor
dill on Oklahoma and Arkansas caused
rather free offerings, attributed chiefly
to ring spectators and commission
houses. However, the trade received
the usual grist of buHish news from the
belt and the buying was of a better
character than for some time. The
aggressive bidders, as well as absorbed
offerings as quickly as thrown on the
market. The trade as whole did not
take Cordills report seriously. Reac-
ing the forenoon prices stood to IA
points above last nights closing figures
October shorts were badly squeezed
during the late forenoon. Those who
held the outgoing options were stub
born, refusing to part with it around
1870 causing a sensational advance,
which carried the option to Ia cents in a
jiffy, but it reacted 10 points later and
went dead at that price.
The Journal of Commerce report
showing deterioration of points in the
condition. of the crop for the month
offset the bearish effect of Cordills cir
GUAR, causing active buying by Liver
pool and covering by overnight shorts.
on the bulge December sold at 1876 and
January 13.47.
However. there was a freer supply of
contracts, coming from Wall street and
further liquidation by longs. Bears say
the bulls must dig up fresh ammunition
TO hold any advance, and, that with
the clear weather, the market will feel
the weight of an increased movement.
Bulls, on the other hand, say that the
market is well liquidated on the break
of about 20 points since Monday and
higher prices later on in the season are
assured.
At the close the market was firm
with prices at a net advance Of 16 to

Replies from correspondents as to the
size of the crop average 1874 600 bales,
The feature of Liverpool was the
bles reporting increased demand, better

confident of lower prices and largely un-

The map shows cloudy weather in the
west, fair in the east with continued
cold. Indications are for unsettled
weather and rains in the western States
over Sunday and fair and continued cold
in the east.
First traders here were at an advance
OF 2 to 4 points, with stubborn tone in
the market in respect to depression
Technical conditions here are not i'm

along on the last advance and the re-
cent break has caused trailers 20 liqui-

The feeling here is bullish The strong
situation is fully realized and supple

ports and strong spot news, showing
that holders are resisting the decline
Fear of possible further liquidation in
