~ NE of the best things Bill Smith
I ] had to say after his return
from the North and East was
that there was a chance for the
Crackers to get Andy Mcconnell to
fill the ample shoes of Whitley AL
permann at second base.
Here's some of the dope on Nc
Council. As to the state of the nego-
tiations. nobody can tell how they will
pan out. but it is understood that
Bill is dealing directly with McCon-
nell, and if he wants to play in At
lanta, he can do So as terms with
his club can be made
Anyway, here's the dope.
'CONNELL is 20 years old, and
4'A might be called veteran of the
game-the very player Atlanta needs
around the keystone sack. He is a
little bit Of a chap, and very fast
on the bases. He will hit around
.2S0. with a disposition to slap one
in the pinch. He is hard to pitch
to and is a corking intielder.
Then why isn't he In the Big Show
w ELL. Andy used to play with
w the Boston Red SoX, and he
was very popular there and did good
work all tine time He went to the
Chicago White SoX in the celebrated
trade Of Mcconnell and Lord for
Smith and Purtell.
In Chicago, Andy made good at
the jump. At first he was blue light
ming on the bases, and for two years

PURPLE CAbbAGE|S
OFFERED FOR SALE
Huge Imported Chestnuts
ON Morris Avenue Are in
Good Demand

Business on Morris avenue yesterday
maintained that standard of brskness set
Monday afternoon. There was no let up
in the demand and the supplies are con-
sistent.
In the produce market purple cabbage
is to be seen. 1t is quoted at &c a pound
and the demand is fair. This cabbage is
purple almost to blackness, and there is
not spot on 1t. It is grown in Wis
consin, New York and other states in
the north. Huge chestnuts. imported are
to be had at the rate of 10c q pound.
They come in kegs and are as large as
the garden variety of buckeye SO often
seen in the south. They are in fine de-
mand. New York celery is finding favor
and the ruling prices 75c dozen or 81 so
crate, are not prohibitive. Jumbo cell
cry is quoted at 90c a dozen. Malaga
grapes, those large white ones that come
packed in cork, are now on sale, and the
demand is very brisk. They are quoted.
at $3.50 to $3.50 a keg.
The slight shortage in the fish market
reported Monday will be relieved this
morning. A shipment of snapper will ar
rive from Mobile, where a fishing boat
put In last night. Snapper is now selling
at the rate of 10c and lie pound In bar
rel lots. Oysters from Virginia were
reduced from &c to 15c yesterday, and the
demand continues unabated. The supply
is now normal however, and that fact
may account for the reduction.
Extra graded candled eggs We're ad-
vanced to 30c dozen yesterday, and 1t
is said that the market Is firm with
rising tendency. The demand is good, and
one poultry and egg dealer said that, IL
he had any more orders than he Is now
receiving he would have to secure extra
space to care for his customers. Hens
and frying sized chickens are now In
good demand. but no change In quotations
has been registered for some time.
Business in the grain market is in keep
ing with the rest of Morris avenue. Quo
tations are unchanged, but the demand Is
very brisk with good supplies. Corn
prices are slightly bullish in tendency and
oats are always sympathetic with corn.
Alfalfa hay is firm at $26 and a slight
advance would occasion no surprise.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York. October 2s-(Special.) )-Cables
this morning were about as due, but our
market encountered some very heavy real
izing from last weeks purchasers right
after the opening, which caused a quick
setback of some Is points from last night
On this decline there appeared sufficient
trade demand to steady the market and
absorb the southern hedge selling, prices
working back late in the morning within
z or 8 points of last night, where the mar
ket became dull, but steady, until the
close.
There was little outside trading In to-
days market, and the feeling of local
traders is to expect a further recession on
the ground that now frost has already
passed over almost all of the belt.
There will be temporarily little fresh
bull news. and that it is sufficient spec
ulation by itself to bring about an ad-
vance just at this time.
New Orleans reports gulf storm NOV
ing toward the belt, and very severe
cold ware has appeared in the northwest.
but these factors had little effect upon
today's market.
Liverpool is due tomorrow unchanged
to isc W.

RELIEF FROM DROUTH THE COTTON MARKET
CAUSESASETDACK CONTINUES NERVOUS
Bad Weather Reports and
Bullish Crop Estimates
Check Selling

New York. October 2S.-The cotton
market showed continued nervousness
and irregularity during today's trad
ing. Bad weather reports and bullish
crop estimates checked selling on an
early decline, but failed to create
enough aggressive buying to cause a
full recovery and while final tone was
steady, last prices were still to 10
points under the closing figures of last
night.
There was considerable pressure
against the market at the opening.
Cables were colorless but there was n
renewal of foreign straddle selling and
scattered realizing while the selling
was also encouraged with bearish pri-
vate review of Texas and Oklahoma
conditions. First prices were 5 points
lower on October and from 13 to IT
points lower on later months and the
market sold about 10 to 10 points be-
low last nights final during the early
trading. This decline seemed sufficient
to attract considerable covering. The
market steadied in consequence and
later rallied or 10 points from the
lowest on a renewal of bull support. d
moderate demand from trade sources
and covering by early sellers who were
influenced by the unfavorable wealth
er forecasts and rumors that prominent
London statiscians estimated the
American crop at 13,S00,000 bales and
the probable worlds requirements at
l4,500,OO0 bales. There were also sew
eral other estimates ranging from 49,
72S,000 up to 13,S50,000 bales, includ-
ing lfnters, but the market remained
quiet as though waiting for fresh de-
veiopments with reference to the
southern spot situation. The official
weather forecast was for freezing tenn
peratures in the WESTERN belt follow
ing further rain or show.

Rains in Argentina RespOn-
sible for 1-4c Decline.
Snow i'm Middle West

Chicago, October 2s.-Relief from
drought in Argentina caused a setback
today in the price of wheat. AS re-
suit the close though steady was at a
decline of a cent net. Corn showed Il
gain of 1sq14c over last night and oats a
decline of 146fss@13c. In provisions prices
varied to 21k@1oc to rise of 10 cent.
Argentina dispatches that told of suf-
ficient moisture for wheat everywhere
except near Bahia Blanca, had a bear
ish influence which was not entirely
overcome at any time during the day.
There was also a general snowfall
throughout Kansas and Nebraska, max
ing the best conditions imaginable for
the growing crop. Accordingly short SELL
ers who had withdrawn from the market
yesterday came back and put quotations
under pressure that even the most stub
born bulls could not Withstand.
Prices would doubtless have had a
greater fall had 1t not been that primary
ago. Further sustaining power come from
knowledge that the worlds available sup
ply increase appeared slender compared
with what experience would suggest.
Prospects that the winter basis of feed
ing would be established without delay
separated the corn trade from the influ-
ence of weakness in wheat. Realizing
by longs eased off the market a little
about midday, but the close was almost
at the top figures of the session.
Heaviness in oats resulted from hedg-
ing here by Winnipeg buyers of cash
lots. The stock of oats in Chicago is
decreasing, but the supply still shows an
unwieldly excess judged by last year s
figures.
Moderate investment demand with COW
ering by shorts made provision generally
firm. Predictions that the cold weather
would bring increased hog receipts seemed
for the most part to fall on deaf ears.
Future quotations were as follows:
