BALKAN SITUATION
 AFFECTS WHEAT
Reports of Huge Wheat Shipments to Europe
 Cause Advance

Chicago, October 1S-Huge export clear ance for Europe did good deal today to lift the wheat market here. and SD purchasing which had been cancelled in Bulgaria and Roumsnia The close was buoyant, Sz@a1ac net higher, with Decem- Der at sl.os,4 and May S .osssa1s.c and oats ssd24c to 7sc. In provisions the out come varied from decline to a rise of 25c
 It was after announcement that ocean clearances of breadstuffs from the United States for the day amounted to the im- mense aggregate of 2,76loOo bushels that the wheat market scared in earnest. Much significance was attached to the fact that almost the entire total was ob- tained from domestic sources, and that the Canadian contribution was virtually nothing.
 There was but little disposition after ward to search further in regard to causes of slowness in the accumulation Of stocks here and at other leading cen- ters. Previous to the disclosure of the mammoth extent of the foreign ship ments from American ports the chief en- enlargement to the bulls lay in advance at Liverpool, which in turn seemed due to an assertion on high authority that in- stead of 10.000,000 bushels. the amount of wheat turned back by the spread of the war in the Balkans, would be 95,000 600 bushels.
 Country offerings of wheat in Mime sota. the Dakotas and Canada were said to have increased as a result of the bulge in prices. Hedging sales, however, were quickly absorbed.
 Crop damage reports gave independent strength to corn, but the wheat strength brought in additional heavy orders to buy During the late trading many bulls who had indulged earlier in profit-ta king were busy reinstating their lines.
 Seaboard demand helped to lift the oats market. Rural offerings continued small.
 Provisions became decidedly unsettled after having advanced to new high price records for the season. Support gave out on the extreme upturn. The accepted reasons for the bulge were the big sfA : ments of meats tile firmness of the hog market and the notable strength at Liv- erpool.
 Future quotations were as folloxys.

Avery's Letter


 Birming ham. october 13 Liverpool was surprisingly strong this morning. It opened from iis to s6ia points above Tues days close and at 12:15 D. m, Liverpool time it was steady at a net advance oe 22 to 25H points over Mondays close. Spots were quoted at 7ssd, 2s points up as compared with Monday. New York on this Liverpool was due to open above d2 to is points higher. but only came about 10 points higher. The market ruled steady with advancing tendency. which carried January New Orleans up to l2 9ie and January New York to 1306c
 Around 11:30 o'clock a report that a New York district court had declared tho Smith-Leyer bill unconstitutional caused A sharp break. which carried prices for January New Orleans to 12.51c and in New York to 12 7Sc.
 New Orleans, which had fathered this Smith-lever law. took the report very much to heart and sold cotton freely, hut prices in both markets rallied quick y when it was learned that the decision wa 8 by an inferior court and that it surely would be appealed to the United States supreme court.
 The clause In the Smith Lever law which placed tax that was prohibitive upon trades made from this country in the Liverpool market has all along been regarded as of doubtful constitutionality py ieaulnS Jurlsts, and there is no doubt that this is the clause which has been affected by the decision.
 With the exception of this particular r clause the Smth-Lever law, or, as it Is familiarity known, the United States cot ton futures act, was the wisest and soundest piece of legislation ever passed by the national legislature for the benefit of the cotton producer of the south. It forever took out of the hands of the big spot people the manipulative club in the shape of a huge stock, most of which was on dog tail cotton carried in New York which they used with telling effect upon the market, as it suited their convenience Withdrawing the same from the New York stock when they wished to bull the market. and rendering it on contracts when they wished to bear the market The south in one voice should demand that this law. except with the clause above referred to, stand upon the statute books of the nation. No better evidence could be had of how those that arc against the producer regarded this piece of news, than the fact that prices de- clined more than $1 a bale when the news was received.
 The weekly weather report was gener- ally unfavorable. 1t made mention of

Coffee Market

New York October 13.-The market for coffee futures was steadier today, and prices regained several points of their recent losses with March contracts sell ing up to 6.36c and May to 6.50c. Trading was not generally, but there seemed to be some Wall street buying after the recent decline. and the market opened at an advance of 1 to 6 points. Offerings were evidently limited, and it did not require a great deal of demand to cause further gains, with the market closing at a net advance of 10 to 15 points.

Hubbard Bros. & Co..sLetter

New York. october 13.--tSpeeial) Liverpool advanced so sharply on bad weather over the holiday that we opened some 20 points higher and ad- vanced to 10 points more This sharp recovery of 6 points from Monday morn ing brought out many profit taking or ders, together with some hedge selling from the south. which brought about a substantial reaction before the close, which was quite natural, as the advance had been very rapid. A certain amount of cotton must naturally be absorbed on ca chadvance. We understand the spinners have been quite free buyers on call, but not on definite price. The United States district court has decided that the Lever bill is unconstitutional The government Is expected to appeal to the supreme court at Washington. They have 60 days within which to file a bill. The decision of the court should have no effect upon the market as the present contract for the delivery of cot ton will not be altered
