SUBSTANTIAL GAIN
IN PRICE OF COTTON
Feature Absence of Any
Marked Amount of Profit
Taking on Long Cotton

New Orleans, October 22.--The price OF
cotton ma6s a substantial advance today
on buying for long account, which the
bulls claimed was of the strongest char
acter. A. feature OF the session was the
absence of any marked amount OF profit
taking on long cotton, such as put the
market down yesterday. There were no
new features in the news of the day to
stimulate buying, and the rise appeared
to be based on the growing conviction that
the crop Is a moderately small one.
The opening was steady at a rise of IS
to IS points in sympathy with much
higher Liverpool market than due. The
weather map was considered unfavorab1e
because of the light rains in the western
belt, the frosts in the eastern belt and
the promise of more moisture to come
The market very gradually advanced un-
til. early in the afternoon, prices were 20
to 81 points over the last figures of yes
terday. Late in the day moderate realiz-
ing came from the bull side. The close
was steady at a net gain of 20 to "a
points. =
Spot reports were encouraging through
out the morning session and private re-
ports quoted prices Mc higher Bulls man.
ifested considerable disappointment when
spots in Liverpool attracted much atten-
tion because Of private messages from
England claiming that consumption among
Lancashire mills was on a record basis.

Ink Froze on the Pen

From Pearson's Weekly. \
The winter Of 1854 in Europe still
holds its place as one of the most se-
we're and remarkable on record. So tre-
mendous was the cold that trees split
asunder with deafening reports. The
strangest sight of all was on the Thames.
Here on more than q foot thickness of
ice thorough going town of streets was
erected. There were tailors shops,
butchers shops, tobacconists, printers
and, indeed, many other businesses, all
being carried on as II they had stood
there for years. Writing anywhere but
near large fire was impossible, as the
ink froze in the pot and on the pen.
Whole barrels of liquids were frozen
solid, and wine was sold In one pound
blocks. New bread on being taken out
of the oven would Immediately stiffen
and become solid. There were hundreds
of deaths from the cold, and through
out the frost the poor suffered miserably.

SLIGHT REDUCTION
IN CORN QUOTATIONS
Market Has Been Weak for
Some TimeAPrOduce
Market Steady

Corn dropped yesterday to csc a bushel
and oats experienced a reduction of Sc
on the bushel The market in these COM
modities has been weak for some two
weeks past. and this fact Is said to be the
reason for the drop. BUSINESS in the grain
market is only fair. but it is not be-
lieved that the price on corn and oats will
have another reduction in the immediate
future.
In the produce market no change Is
noted. Lemons are now selling at "a and
$3.50 a box. The price on this fruit two
months ago was s. and 80 a box. The
market is now well supplied, however, and
at the time of the inflated price there were
but few lemons on the market.
Fish prices are unchanged and business
is quite brisk. say the dealers. The sup
ply is good and there is no likelihood OF
a. shortage soon.

REVIVAL OF EXPORT

Chicago, October 22.-Revival of export
demand today strengthened the price OF
wheat. Accordingly the marqet closed
leading staples. too all showed a gain
corn ss@Ad1c net: oats 7s@1c and pro-
visions 71S6ll5c.
Lower prices from Liverpool failed to
depress wheat except right at the open
Ing. Continued falling off in receipts at
Minneapolis and Duluth acted as more
than an Offset Reports from India that
rain had fallen and from Argentina that
crop prospects had become brilliant made
only passing impression. 1t was not
SO when word came that exporters had
taken as much as q hundred loads of
Manitoba. Bullish sentiment spread, es-
pecially after Baltimore announced char
ters for three cargoes to go to France.
There were also advices that foreigners
we're buying flour at Minneapolis.
Primary arrivals dropped to a million
bushels less than the total year ago
This fact helped to prevent the market
from showing any tendency to sag and
so did statements on high authority that
100000 bushels, against 175,0O0,o0O last
year.
Although corn dipped in sympathy with
a decline at Liverpool offerings were
quickly absorbed and prices advanced
sharply. Country reports were TO the ef-
feet that feeders We're paying higher fig
ures than could be obtained from Chi
cago cash houses The bears had to com
tend besides the influence of unsettled
weather..
Big shorts in oats covered freely. Rural
offerings were reported light
Provisions advanced after weakness due
to lower prices for hogs. There was a
general buying movement which appeared
to grow out of the strength in coarse
grain.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, October 22.-(Speciai kill
ing frost extended over North and South
Carolina today, and 1t seems probable
that before the end of the week rain will
follow from the Pacific coast. With an
other cold wave our market opened at
some 16 points higher and closed at 70
points advance after a reaction Of II
points from the highest.
The damage done by this frost presents
another difficult problem to the mills
which have depended upon the Atlantic
states to furnish a larger supply than
the loss in Texas and Oklahoma. 1t is APP
parent now that we are facing q shor,
crop with much low grade cotton. and
the price of the remainder of the croL
seems likely to be upon a higher level.
Spinners and merchants have been wait
ing and waiting before securing their sup.
plies. looking for the pressure from the
planters to bring lower prices. What will
| they do now? Liverpool Is due to com'
IL to down tomorrow.

STOCK MARKET
IS AGAIN Dull
Quotations Drop in Final
Hour-Steady Pressure
Against Steel

New York, October 22--After the
favorite stocks had relapsed a point or
so from the higher level attained on
yesterdays buoyant rise interest in
speculation died,out today and the mar
ket became duh and fiat. The tone I'M
proved and part of the early losses wore
recovered but in the final hour quota
tions moved off again.
Bull leaders were not inclined to take
an aggregessive position, in view of the
uncertainties OF the general situation.
Comparatively little significance was
attached to the recent upturn, which
apparently signified merely that short
selling has been overdone. No consid-
cradle volume of outside buying Wns
attracted by the rise
Steady pressure against steel was ef-
fective in holding the market in check.
Most of the bearish talk of the day
centered about the Steel stocks. The
steel trade reviews spoke of further re-
duction in working forces and 1t was
announced that one of the Steel corpor-
atoms subsidiaries had dismissed O
large number of employees. Additionai
price reductions were reported.
The Mexican situation again was
brought to the fore by the days news,
which eXerted a restraining influence.
London selling was another factor in
depressing the market. Stocks were UNI
foaded freely for London account on
the opening break, chiefly Amalgamated
and Canadian Pacific.
Declaration of 81 per cent back divi-
dends on Vulcan DEFINING preferred
caused q jump of 151a points in the
stock. American Tobacco again was
strong. it's gain in the last two days
amounting to Is points. California Pc
