WHEAT MARKET
 CONTINUES STRONG Record Breaking Sales Made to Export Houses.
 Temporary Break

Chicago. November 4-Record breaking sales to export houses brought about Q strong market today in wheat after a temporary break at the start The close was buoyant at 1lIc net advance. Corn Finished 1d1s@1hc up, and oats with a gain of 5s@% to &. In provisions, the outcome varied from cents decline to a rise of 221kc.
 It was estimated that foreigners to- day bought fully 100000 bushels of wheat. There were plenty of predic- tions that contracts would prove hard to fill. According to generally accepted figures. more than 5o,0o0.OOo bushels had been purchased to clear from the United States by January l.
 Big receipts and an increase of the European visible supply caused a brief setback early in wheat, but frost re- ports from Argentina helped almost im- mediately to turn the market upgrade.
 Corn and oats also were governed chiefly by the export demand. Euro peans bought 350,00O bushels of corn here and 1t was said more than 100000 bush els had been similarly disposed of within the last week.
 Provisions hardened notieeably as a. result of new fear that the stockyards would be closed in Chicago.
 Future quotations were as follows:

 "A southern company has taken 1000 tons of billets for England and more than half has been shipped. British mills have quoted so low on such business as to :is- courage American sellers. Partly through attractive offers of southern iron, foun- dries arc taking more interest in con- tracts for 1915. Southern No. has been quoted at SIC for the entire first half. At Buffalo pig iron sales of about 45,00Q tons have been made much of 1t at SIP at fur mace for No. g. Chicago pig iron inquiry is growing also.

VIRGINIA CABBAGE
 |SNOW PLENTIFUL Louisiana Is Now Adding Lettuce to Home Grown
 Product In Market

The produce men on Morris avenue are experiencing a brisk demand, and the houses are becoming we'll stocked.
 Virginia cabbage is especially plentiful now, and in the mornings the avenue is literally lined with cabbage and apples received from the Old Dominion. Celery and lettuce are also very much in evi- dence in the wholesale district.
 Homegrown lettuce is still being re- ceived in large quantities, but the truck CTS of Louisiana are beginning to place consignments of this vegetable on the Birmingham market. The Louisiana let tuce is as yet somewhat young, and the heads have not yet matured. The de- mand for meat is said to be fairly good. and prices are firm. Flour and grain quotations are unchanged.
 The local demand for spot cotton con- tinues strong. and the market daily be- comes more active.

SENTIMENT IN IRON TRADE IMPROVED Slight Increase in Interest In
 Buying BIG EXPORT DEMAND More Conservative Influence Iii Con- gress Expected as Result of the Elections--Cast Iron Pipe
 Is Weak

Cleveland, O., November 4-(Speeial.) The Iron Trade Review tomorrow will say.
 Improvement In financial conditions, slight increase in interest in buying on the part of pig iron consumers, continued demand for American machinery and steel products for export and a feeling that n more conservative influence will dominate the next Congress as the result of Tues days elections have contributed to an im- provement in sentiment in the iron trade.
 'orders of machinery for export include numerous lathes purchased by the Beth lehem Steel company. miscellaneous equipment placed with a New York house for shipment for Russia, France and Eng land, large orders for automatic screw machines placed with National Acme Manufacturing company. Cleveland, more than 100 lathes purchased by the Baldwin Locomotive works for the Russian gov ernment, two large punches for Peru, or dered from the Cleveland Punch ane Shear Works company. an additional or der for four carloads of lathes placed with the Cincinnati Iron and Steel cum- pany, and number of lathes purchased for shipment to Sweden.
 s. Pig iron production in October was 1,769,SS5 tons, compared with 1,SS2,2n tons in September, and 2,5Ss 924 tons In October of last year. The average daily produc- ton was only 57.077. the lowest since Jan uary, 1911, when the average daily output was 56, 9S9
 The lowest rate for many years was S3.667 tons in January, 1908. Iron ore ship ments for Lake Superior ranges for Oc- I'll tons compared with October of last year. The ore shipments to date are 80, 9ol. .S06 tons, compared with 45. .79, 420 tons for the same period of last year. The movement for November will be about 100000 tons. ~
 An inquiry for 10000 tons of basic for delivery during the first half of next year to the Portsmouth Steel company has aroused interest in Pittsburg. In the east and also in Chicago and Cincinnati, there is little improvement In inquiry, but prices are weak and very few orders are being entered. The demand for harD wire for export continues heavy and the wire mills are busy. Some additional or ders for ship plate for export have been booked, but domestic demand for plates Is light and prices are weak. Negotia- tions for important tonnages of steel bars for export are pending. Prices on steel pipe have been reduced for $l on small sizes to SIS on the largest sizes. Cast Iron pipe is dull and weak.

The Iron Age

New York. November 4-(Special) j. The Iron Age will say tomorrow:
 Taking the election results as in no small measure as a popular expression on the existing tariff law. the steel trade finds encouragement in them. The bsliei that there be such an outcome and the recognition of slight turn for the bet ter in money conditions, in cotton and in all exports led to more hopeful utter ances by the steel manufacturers who met at Birmingham last week than might have been Expected from the smallest rate of incoming new business ever known.
 Some of the smaller steel companies in the central west have reduced salaries as well as the wages of mill workers and some Pennsylvania companies have s.mi- lar reductions under consideration.

MAY COMPROMISE
 ON STRADDLE ACCTS.
Cotton Exchange Members Agree to Battle for
 Liquidation

New York, November 4-Members of the Cotton exchange at meeting here today agreed to ballot for the liquidation of straddle accounts down to 751c for De- cemoer contracts. Not long since local traders refused to consider a lower price than cents for December as a basis for liquidation. but Liverpool has marked the price of January-February down to ( Esd, and today's action was considered an of- fer to compromise recent disputes.
 It was rumored that December contracts were selling on the curb here at I. .62g7 .65c, and local traders believe that trade con- ditions no longer warrant the difference of 1b0 points between Liverpool and New York as fixed by the international con- ference toward the end of last summer.
 Otherwise there was no fresh develop ment in the contract situation, and the news from the south indicated continued steady spot markets with prices generally unchanged to 1sc higher. Exports for the day were only 1s,54s bales, and some ap- prehend that the advance in war risks may again check business, but cotton is now moving on very nearly normal scale, and offerings from Texas are fully lc higher than they were two weeks ago. Today's port receipts were 66,602 bales. Stock at all United States ports, sos, $40 bales. Interior receipts. 42.797 bales.
