Weekly Cotton Review

New York, November 1.-THE cotton
market has recovered part of its recent
loss during the past three or four days,
and at the close of business tonight jan
uary contracts were selling around 13. 35c,
compared with 12.S6c, the low level of
last Monday. and 13.S5c. the high point
of the season.
Inc selling movement which developed
on increased estimates of the crop during
the first week of November seemed to
eliminate on the break or about 1o a
pound, while there was sufficient trade
buying around 13c for the spring months
to steady prices and cause moderate rail-
lies. Trading remained comparatively
quiet until today, when demand seemed to
be broadening on renewed confidence in
the smaller estimates OF the yield and
bullish estimates of domestic mill require
ments.
After the close tonight, however senti-
ment still appeared to be more or less
mixed, local bears claiming that outside
conditions were against any sustained ad-
vance, while some of the more extreme
bulls were predicting that with continued
steadiness in the south the present upward
movement would carry prices into new
high ground for the season
The census supply and distribution re-
port, showing domestic mill consumption
of $4,000 bales for the month of October,
was said to establish a new high record
for single month, but domestic mill
stocks are now in excess of last year. and
there have been continued reports from
abroad OF curtailment In continental mill
circles, while tight money markets and
unsettled political conditions probably
served to encourage scattered selling on
the advance.
Only one estimate of the crop has been
issued during the week, placing the yield
at 13,925,000 bales, including linters but
this in hand, with talk of bullsh ginning
returns for the period ending last night
appeared largely responsible for the re-
newed confidence of the local bulls, while
recovering of near month shorts has been
accompanied by rumors of ocean freight
room engagements for shipments from the
local stock an dtalk of a bullish division
of spot differences at the meeting of the
New York revision committee next
Wednesday.

NOTABLE WEDDING IN
MARION WEDNESDAY
Miss Harriet Bomar Becomes Bride of
Macon c. Ellis of Orrville in
Sloan Baptist Church

Marion, November Especial L)-One
of the most beautiful weddings witnessed
in Marion in many years was solemnzed
at Sloan Baptist church Wednesday aft
ernoon at 4:30 o'clock when Miss Harl let
Eliza Bomar became the bride of Mr..
Macon c. Ellis of Orrville. The ceremony
was reformed by the Rev. Paul v. Bomar

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York November 14.-tSpecial)
Cables this morning were strong with
spot sales of 1900 bales at the ad-
vance and there were current in the
market several reports that the tone
in Manchester was decidedly better as q
result of an improved demand from
China.
Here the market opened at an ad-
vance in response to the cables hes
itated and then turned definitely up-
ward owing to lack of selling pres
sure and some covering by recent sell
ers.
Then census bureau figures for con-
sumption in October placed the fig
ures at 542,S09 bales. 1t is difficult
to make comparison since these re-
ports have only been issued monthly
for year. but 1t is believed that these
figures must nearly approximate rec
ord. Certainly the largest monthly con-
sumption given by the bureau last
year was 533.251 bales in January
Moreover, weekend figures were bull
ish both as to the crop movement and
as to spinners' takings with compar.
ison with the corresponding week last
year.
The crop estimate OF a local house,
13.925,000 bales. attracted the more at
tention because of these Weekend fig
ures while 1t was felt did not bear ont
the optimistic crop estimates which
were current at the end of last week
1t must be remembered that there
is no general bull speculation at the
present time and it is reasonable to
suppose that the market will have
sharp reactions from time to time. but
We believe that If these census con
sumption figures are any indication Of
domestic requirements it Is only res-
sonable to believe the tendency VIII
still be toward higher levels
Liverpool is due tomorrow 4 to Ga
points advance.

WHOLESALE TRADE
IS VERY ACTIVE
ofarket Strong With Up
ward Tendency-Turkeys
II Are Plentiful


Morris avenue business showed much
activfdy yesterday. The supply is nor
NAL. Pr,ces are unchanged but the mar
ket generally is strong and the ten
dency is slightly upward.
Poultry dealers say that it begins to
look as though turkeys will be cheaper
this year than they have been hereto
fore. f. W. Blackford of the Donovan
company says that the people in hts
buying territory apparently have but
few turkeys but they are being offered
for sale on Morris avenue in large
quantities. The production is apparent
ly larger this year than was the case
in other years and this fact is respon-
sible for the expected drop in prices.
Fish continues to sell good and prices
are unchanged. Snapper is more plenti-
full than it has been for some motnhs
and the demand is active. oysters are
in great demand.
No chagne in grain has been reported
as yet but business Is active and the
market firm with a tendency to ad-
vance. Cotton seed hulls prices are ex-
pected to go up in the near future and
the price on cotton seed meal is likely
to advance, say the dealers.

MODERATELY VIDE
ADVANCE IN COTTON
Buying Is Based on Bullish
Statistics Relating to
Consumption

New Orleans. November 1i--The cot
ton market took on a moderately wide
advance today on buying based on bull
ish statistics relating to consumption
and mill talsings, The census bureau
was out with monthly figures on CON
sumption which the bulls regarded as
particularly favorable and the week
iy figures on min takings were larger
than generally expected. In the morn
ing the market was rather narrow
but in the afternoon it widened out.
The opening was steady at a rise OF
to Z points on the census report
showing consumption of this country for
October Of 542,908 bales against 5ls,
600 during the same month last year
Bulls claimed that this was decided
proof that claims of poor trade among
the cotton mills of this country were
not well founded. During the day many
bullish statements were sent out by
wire regarding supply and demand
and they resulted in buying by out
side interests. The advance was grad
ually widened until in tho afternoon
the trading months were 2t to %
points over Yesterdays last quotations.
The close was steady at n net gain OF
IA to 18 points.
Tho trade took decided interest Ia
the question of ginning. The period to
be considered in the next governments
| report on ginning ended yesterday
and the first of tho private estimates
of tho amount turned out appeared to
day. They ranged from 1O,900.o00 to
10.500,000 bales It was generally ac-
cepted, even by small crop people, that
favorable weather had resulted in -
heavy output

Business Almost Entirely
PrOfessiOnal-Steel for
Foreign Account

= New York, November 14.-At the end OF
a day of mixed price movements and con-
siderable confused speculative sentiment.
the principal stocks showed net gains Of
fair proportions, but feet sore from ring
walking.
Business was almost entirely profession
al. Dealers concerned themselves prl-
marily with attempting to interpret ths
reports from Mexico in terms of stock
market quotations
The Mexican situation has exercised a
, steadily increasing influence on the stock
trade during the last few weeks, until ut
present it IS recognized as overshadowing
all other consideration. The improvement
late yesterday, base on the hopeful utter
ances of the President, was continued IN
the early trading today.
Advices regarding Mexico were conflict
ing and the transactions gradually fell
urtil the early rise was lost. Late in the
session the market picked up somewhat
The readiness with which the market
yielded after the initial rise was due in
part to the desire of traders to realize on
holdings of ling stock. Foreign buying
was an important influence Large pur-
chases of steel, Union Pacific and Anal
gamated were made for foreign account,
the balance on the buying side being per-
haps about 10000 shares. The brisk rise
here at the outset was due largely to the
advance in London. New Haven was
again weak. 1t reached low level OF
75A. The strike ON the Southern Pacific
caused that stock to drag behind and
Missouri Pacific was affected by con-
tinuance of the selling which had been IN
progress.
Assets realization developed and favor
ties dropped three points. Some declines
reached IA points on the week.

WHEAT PRICE UNDER
THE PREVIOUS NIGHT
Heaviness Pervades Market
for Wheat-Gain in Other
Leading Staples

Chicago, November 14-HeaViness per-
vaded the market for wheat today. For
a greater part of the time stocks were
reported to be rapidly accommodating
southwest and there was pressure by Of
ferings here from Nebraska.
Closing prices though steady were 1sa
i4c under last night. Other articles
showed a net gain, corn lsQ9sc: oats, 1-16
Go1s0a4c, and provisions. 71s420c.
Wheat spectators took careful eonsid-
Grafton of the fact that Kansas City has
than S,5Oo,000 bushels. Nebraska offer
ings to Chicago increased as direct con-
sequence Of the lack Of room at Kansas
City.
In addition to this other signs pointed to
a liberal enlargement of the United
States visible supply total, the losses by
lake storms, 100000 bushels having been
exclusively Canadian wheat.
Further rains in Argentina acted as an
offset for estimates. indicating that the
exportable surplus from that country
might be cut down to 100000 against
previous figures OF SO,000o00 to Se0oOOO0
bushels. Prices were also sustained by
advices from the seaboard that export
sales for two days amounted to 100000
bushels.
Corn developed strength notwithstand-
ing dullness of the shipping trade. There
was evidence of congestion in the De-
cember delivery with the bulls being aid
ed by rainy weather southwest. Offer
ings from the country We're notably
scarce. Oats held firm despite meager-
ness of demand except from the south.
primary receipts We're much less than a
year ago.
Competition from Ireland and Denmark
at Liverpool led to break in provisions,
but foreign buying of lard here pro-
duced some rally. Corn's strength helped
to put the market up.
