SPOTS ADVANCE AND FUTURE PRICES FALL

New Orleans, November 10.-Spots wont up and futures went down In the cot ton market today. middling being ad- vanced s-16 to : 9-1s while January con- tracts sold down to 756 as compared with 767, the highest level reached yesterday.
 The demand for spots was called good and trading would have been heavy but for the firmness of sellers. As 1t was total sales were 2575 bales. It was said that the principal buyers in the market were representing buyers of Europe. One lot of long staple cotton, inch and five siXteenths, brought 18 cents a pound. The explanation for this high price appeared to be the growing uneasiness among over the outlook for long staple cotton because of the English governments ds- cree that the acreage in Egypt shall be reduced this coming season.
 The easy tone in the future market probably was induced by a private crop estimate of 16, 250,0o0 bales, commercial figures.
 All long contracts left over from the future trading before the market was suspended were successfully margined down to s.65 for January today. It was considered that this was a real test of the strength of the local brokerage trade. The payment of these margins, 200 points under the final prices of July 31. was .n accordance with resolutions passed at the meeting of the Future Brokers asso- ciation yesterday.

LACK OF VESSELS DEPRESSES WHEAT Prices Firm at the Close With a Decline For
 Day

Chicago, November 1o.-Difficufty in finding enough vessels to provide a suf- fcient outlet for exports from gulf cities had a depressing influence today on the wheat market here. Prices, although firm at the close, were 1111s to 1isc under last night. Corn finished 1 to 1a1Mc down, oats off 1sds to ss9%c. and pro- visions varying from unchanged figures to g. decline of S21s.
 Liquidating sales by discouraged hold CTS of wheat formed the most noticeable feature until just before the close, when the low price reached tempted exporters, 1t was said, to take hold with rather free hand. Previously buying had been Of a limited character.
 Advices that a fleet of 90 vessels was due from South American waters within the next 60 days afforded no immediate felp to the bulls.
 Increased arrivals of corn in prospect gave an advantage to the bears in that cereal.
 Oats suffered with other grain, Moth. ing was heard about any export business in oats.
 Provisions averaged lower on account of selling by packers and because of set- backs in the price of wheat and feed A fair improvement was noted, however, in cash demand for meats.

New York, November 1o.--It was learned here today that the Cotton Trading cor poration, which is part of the syndicate plan for taking over old December con tracts in the local market. had already been incorporated and fully organized.

BELIEVE CULTURES MARKET WILL OPEN Cotton Trade Attracted By Actual Demand for
 Cotton

New Orleans. November 10.-With i'm portant southern spot markets showing advances of from 1-16c to 3-16c pound to- day. the attention of the cotton trade was centered in the demand for actual cot ton, in spite of the interest aroused by developments. which appeared to point to the reopening of the future markets within the next few days. It was said that foreign spinners were better buyers than were domestic manufacturers.
 This claim brought into prominence the fact that England has of late greatly in- creased Its takings of American cotton, and that its purchases of such cotton are now much larger than of all other cot tons combined. Imports of cotton by Idy- erpool today amounted to ss.sl9 bales, of which a2,0SS; bales were American. Sta tistics would indicate, according to students of bthe market, that, in order to relieve financial conditions in India.

TURKEYS PREPARE
 TOMEET THEIR FATE
Small Shipments of Birds Beginning to Arrive In
 Birmingham

Turkeys are beginning to arrive in Bir- nlingham in small shipments. But the supply of Thanksgiving birds at the present time is somewhat limited. This Is said to be due to the desire of the farmer to fatten his poultry for the holi- day demand. The dealers on Morris ave. nue expect to have an abundant supply Of turkeys when on Thanksgiving and Christmas weeks the local consumption will reach maximum.
 Live turkeys are now quoted at 1t cents, while the dressed article is bring ing IS cents in wholesale quantities. Hens have been reduced 21s cents per pound the price quoted now being 15 cents.
 There have been slight variations in fish and oyster prices this week, but the demand continues strong and supplies plentiful. Business in the wholesale dis trict Is unusually good for the beginning of the week

 Presidents of state universities. attend ing the meeting of their national organi- zation. were told today by pr. W. O.. Thompson, president of the Ohio State university. that much of the opposition to the plan for a national university came from certain great universities which feared their field would be in- vaded. The fact that this opposition was hidden and the fight not made In the open, he said. made it difficult to bring the matter out for full and frank dis eussion.

twice as large a stock of cotton other than American than it was two years ago. Official figures on this stock are 2s2,000 bales last Friday, against 1S4,00 a year ago and 10000 two years ago. It is being freely predicted that England from now on will be a heavier buyer of cotton in this country.
 Exports to foreign countries for the day were of encouraging proportions. From all ports 1S.946 bales were cleared, IS, 446 bales of which were destined for England and 800 bales for the continent. In con nection with shipments to the continent and with reports of a better continental demand, it was reported today that cotton in Germany was bringing 1Sc a pound.
 Exports thus far this week are in ex- cess of exports up to the corresponding day last week. The coastwise move- ment also Is heavier.
