GRAIN NOTES
he Chicago Inter Ocean says:

The Chicago Inter Ocean says:
"A better feeling existed among the
speculative grain trade last night; SEN
timent having changed somewhat in
favor of the buying side on breaks.
Opinions expressed by commission
houses. eleven favored buying on any
further decline and only two were bear
ish. There has been heavy liquida-
ton by longs and a great many weak
holders in wheat have gone out, and
lot Of shorts have taken profits
"A majority of the pit traders in
corn said there had been break enough
and that q further rally was due, but
one Of the best traders said he looked
for more liquidation, should prices have
a further dip.
"Oats specialists thought there had
been decline enough. It is said that
Canada sold about 100000 bushels of
oats to come to the United States OF
late, but for the present is not offers
ing more"
Russia continues TO offer wheat FREQ
ly below American levels.
Some interests estimate that there
are more than 80, 900 900 bushels of
Canadian oats available for importations
The Chicago Inter Ocean says that
the change in corn sentiment Is due to
the belief that the advance of late was
overdone, that the crop in Illinois and
Iowa in some Instances was not hurt
as much as expected. and that huskings,
While irregular, are to show better
than expected here and there, but there
IS lot Of poor corn in the best Sec
lions.
Bartlett, Frazier Co. says: Wheat
Exporters continue to take Canadian
wheat on a liberal scale. We do not
look for a particularly active market
just now. but at the same time it would
seem as though liquidation had been
pretty thorough.
"Corn-We think if the market holds
steady for day or two, buyers will be
more apt to take hold with a greater
degree Of confidence Receipts continue
moderate with country offerings prac-
tically nothing
"Oats-The general tone Of the mar
ket is decidedly less weak than of late,
liquidation having been very general
"Provisions-We continue friendly to
the long side OF deferred futures"

Ihey We got the sunshine and the
soil in California, but not the water.
we've got all three in Georgia. It
may seem strange here but Califor-
mans long for peaches with the flavor
of our Georgia Elbertas. They have
large orange groves with flower beds
In between, but more than one per-
son asked me to send them a crate
Of Florida Indian River oranges. They
get the size in fruit but not the
flavor.
What they have got us really out
classed on, though, is enterprise
Georgia's natural resources are far
superior. but she hasn't progressed
as rapidly as California That's one
reason the opportunities are so mucn
greater here. Out in California an
average farmer will have a home

"lf the people of this country would
apply the same effort at intensive
farming that they do the whole world
would soon realize there was no COM
parison in the advantages of the two
sections"
Mr.. Pedder admitted that he had
viewed Georgia through rose Colored
glasses on account of the natural ad-
vantages this section has had this
year. California has had two bad
years. Georgia has her bumper crop
this year. But he said he was sure
he had estimated accurately the nor
NAL advantages of the two sections.
Il truly believe this section is be-
ginning its most successful year"
he said. THE advantage should be
a lesson for greater success in years
to come. If the Southern farmers
should just get ahead enough to solve
the credit problem the strides this
section would make would be the
marvel Of the world
During the last three weeks col
lections have been better than at any
similar period in the history of the
State. The prosperity should be per-
manent."

NARROW RANCE IN
COTTON At CLOSE
Market Seesaws All Day-Buying
Much Better-More Links Are
Added to Bear Chain.

NEW YORK, Oct S.-Overnight re-
ports of a storm off the South Carolina
coast affected the cotton market at the
opening to-day First prices were 3
to points below the closing quotations
of Tuesday Immediately after the
opening distant positions recovered the
entire decline, but failed to go higher.
Near months were put under pressure.
The largest spot houses were conspic-
uous buyers. A covering movement al
so helped the advance.
Bears took the reins in their hands
during the early forenoon on further
weakness in the Southern spot markets
and very favorable weather conditions.
The detailed weather map showed that
the reports of heavy rains in Texas
yesterday were untrue.
While the selling was rather general
with october dropping to 1888, Decem-
Der 1898 and January 1903, being new
low levels for the present downward
movement, there was good demand from
strong sources.
Throughout the forenoon there was
steady accumulation at the bottom and
the market held comparative steady.
Bull leaders were more optimistic
than they have been for some time past
and there was a general feeling that
the decline has gone far enough. In
conservative quarters ii is asserted that
reaction of nearly 100 points, with
out pausing is too much. regardless Of
what conditions are. Many believe that
there will be a fresh outburst of en-
thusiasm for the long side, which has
apparently exhausted. This. together
with the strength Of the dry goods
market, where several sharp advances
in prices has been announced within
the past few days
The class of buying during the after
noon session was of a much better
character, coming from many operators
who have been active on the selling side
said to be catching stop orders, and
shOtr selling, which, II true, the techni-
cal position of the market would justify
an upturn. October rallied to 1851; de
cember 1899, and January 1918.
However, sentiment is becoming more
bearish each day, which is only natural
on bear movement. A local spot in
terest was reported TO be out with an
estimate of 14,500,000 bales, including
linters. This added another link to the
bear chain.
At the close the market was steady
with prices points lower to points
higher than the final quotations of
| Tuesday.
Following are II a. m. bids in New
York: October, 1910: December, 1926;
January, 1906; March, 1912.
Following are 10 Il. m. bids in New

That this is late warm fall is
shown by the fact that according to

Right now we are having regular sum
