NEW YORK COTTON
 CLOSES STEADY Unsettled During Day and Prices Irregular-Mills
 Still Hold Off

New York. November 2s.-cotton was unsettled today and fluctuations were irregular within a range of some Is or 10 points. Increasing exports and reports of steady southern spot mar kets, encouraged scattered buying, but an carly advance attracted a renewal of December liquidation and prices later eaged off with tho close steady, net , p9nts higher to 3 points lower.
 Private cables reported spinners call ing in Liverpool, where prices were } CT points better than due on the New York close of Saturday and the local opening was to points higher. There was little southern selling after the call, but covering by Liver pool and local shorts soon sent De- cember contracts up to 7.sSc, or 12 points net higher and later months sold some { to ' points above Sat urdav's close in Sympathy. At this level offerings became somewhat more liberal with spot people selling Decem- Dor against purchases of May and the list turned easier with active posi- tions showing net losses of some to points.
 Rallies of 5 or points followed on covering and reports that the way had been cleared for exports to belligerents through Italy.
 Local spot brokers report that do- mestic mills are still holding off as rule. owing to the large available supply and expectations that it ulti- rcately will make a better buying basis and the bulk of the present demand Is supposed to come from abroad. ToS days exports were the largest reportA ed for any one day since the begin hing of the war, amounting to 55,5S7 bales. which brought the total for the season up to 1,102.s77 bales. Port re- eeipts today were 59,s57 bales and Uni ted States port stocks 1,100,4sS bales.

FUTURES DULL
 AFTER ADVANCE Little Selling Power in Cot ton Market-December
 Watched by Shorts
Hate- Bid- Xsked.

New Orleans, November 2s.-After scoring an advance of to points, cotton futures became very dull to- day and finally closed 4 points up to point down compared with the last prices of Saturday. Little selling power developed at any time. shorts being more disposed to watch the December position closely than to increase their lines.
 Opinion concerning the meaning of the heavy ginning thus far this sea- son veered today and favored the long side. Many telegrams and letters are coming in from the belt showing that a vast area of cotton land is being p1owed and seeded to wheat and crop exports are expressing the opinion that farmers hastened their picking and ginning in order to be able to put wheat crops in, thereby causing bear ish ginning returns to be made to the government. By some brokers it was pr redicted that the substitution of wheat and other crops for cotton might be- fore long become one of the most lm- portant features in the situation.
 The beginning of demand for in- vestment purposes was noted and it appeared partly to be created by the excess of shipments over receipts at ports this week.

New Orleans, November 23.-At present United States ports are shipping out cot ton faster than they are receiving it, and at this time of the year the movement from the interior to the ports generally Is at it's height. This weeks receipts at all ports tonight amounted to ,2s0 bales. while shipments of all kinds, in- cluding coastwise clearances, amounted to 129. 920 bales. Total foreign exports &C., credited to this week are 97.626 bales Of the 32,2S4 bales Shipped coastwise it is thought likely by the trade that the bulk is destined for northern mills and that it will quickly move out of sight.
 As the result of the heavy shipments port stocks are lighter than they were at the end of last week by nearly 20. 900 bales; such shrinkage seldom Is seen in the autumn. Stocks at ports are 1,103,476 bales.
 The heavy exports are deemed all the more remarkable because they cannt be laid to the filling of middle or end-of-the- month commitments. The report that an American vessel would load cotton here for direct shipment to Bremen was re- ceived with interest today. Exporters and freight brokers predict a further increase in shipments during the next six weeks as the result of the filling of November engagements in the first place and December engagements after wards.

SHARP RALLY IN
 LAST HALF HOUR Fear of Black Rust in Ar gentina Gives Boost to
 Wheat Prices

Chicago. November 23.-Fear of black rust in Argentina caused wheat to rally sharply in the last half hour. Prices after having been heavy, closed strong ss4sa to 9sc net higher. Other leading staples all finished at a loss, compared with saturday night. corn 14 to h9ssc, oats Is to Bdl6. and provisions to 15c.
 Harvest advices from Argentina had been decidedly against the bulls, but subsequent dispatches brought word of torrential rains and expressed dread from black rust. The ensuing price upturn was accompanied by admissions that seaboard exporters were after cash wheat in large quantities.
 Announcement that the 1914 wheat crop in Kansas was the largest ever raised by that state had a good deal to do with depressing the market early.
 Elevator selling made corn sag Prices recovered to some extent when the late rally started in wheat.
 Oats suffered from the closing out of spreads between corn and oats, the lat ter being sold. Active export business. though helped to steady the market.
 Provisions weakened under selling by packers.

WEEK OPENS WITH VERY BRISK DEMAND Thanksgiving Orders Are Being Received-Fall In
 Fresh Meat Prices

Trade in the wholesale district began yesterday with a brisk demand in all lines. Favorable weather conditions were in part accountable for increasing activ- ity in the local meat and produce mar lSets, but the retailers of the Birmingham district are now beginning to make Thanksgiving orders. Fancy vegetables and fowls are now in great demand. Let tuce. celery. cranberries and fruits of all kinds will play an important part In this weeks business and the wholesalers have prepared for a rushing business.
 Large shipments of hens and turkeys are arriving by each express. Turkeys as yet are not so very plentiful on Nor ris avenue, but the supply Is expected to prove adequate for the holiday demand. There have been slight reductions in fresh meat quotations, but prices for the most part are firm.
