Battle OF B,enheim.

The Nibel river where it falls into
the Danube is divided into several
branches, with marshy ground be-
tween, and the French at the battle
of Blenheim made it their left flank.
The attack on the village had failed
and Marlborough risked the crossing
of this marshy stream, although the
whitening fire of the French artillery
and the assaults moved down his men
like corn. But he not only succeeded
in getting his own infantry and cav
airy across, but routed the enemy
when he had done so. 1t is recorded
that the river literally ran blood.

October 29.-(Special 1.-The The cotton market thls morning gave proof of yesterdays elimination of weak longs and short condition Overconfdent bears had pressed the issue too hard Liverpool Interpretation as to the situa- tion here was evidenced by higher mar ket this morning. Hesitation was tempor- arily shown after the open spurt. Specu- latlve interests, shaken by the recent drastic decline of 1s5 points and lacking faith In any sustained advance at the moment, disposed of their holdings. Fresh buying on the part of speculative locals, assisted by scattered southern sup port carried prices some 15 points up from the opening level. It looks like trading market temporarily, but our confidence in higher prices ultimately is in no measure abated. We favor purchases of cotton and cotton seed on all moderate declines. The situation eventually justifies ma terially higher prices. Meantime no per manent decline from present levels seems possible. May oil we regard as an invest ment rather than a speculative proposl- ton. We expect to see that option cross cents before its expiration.

BULLS HAVE FULL
 CONTROL IF MARKET
New Orleans Market Recov- CTS Losses of Thursday
 in Cotton

New Orleans. October 2a.-rhe bull e1e- ment had full control of the cotton mar ket today. from the opening call to tho close, and in the early afternoon boosted prices to a level 40 to A points over yesterdays close. thus recovering. with point or two to spare. the slump of g bale which marked yesterdays trading The close was at a net gain of ss to 70 points.
 The opening was higher, partly in sym pathy with better Liverpool than due. but chiefly because of determined buying by leaders on tho long side. This buying. according to the gossip of the exchange really started late yesterday when n prominent trader commenced to give brokerage houses orders. Outsiders were quick to catch the change in tho trend of the market about the most sudden and startling of the season. and their orders materially swelled the volume of buying Sellers of yesterday covered in a large way.
 The dominant idea on the long side or the market appeared to be that the reac-s tion of yesterday went too far. and that shorts had oversod themselves. The market closed on a steady tone.

Hubbard Bros. X Co.'S Letter

New York. October -(Special)-A quick recovery followed the publication of the crop report of the Journal of Com merce. giving the condition as 59.S, so that the market advanced some 42 points from the low point of yesterday. At the extreme advance there was some liquida- ton on report that the estimate of the East India crop was in excess of last year. Prices. however. were steady with little or no pressure. It did not appear today that the supposed large short inter est covered their sales of last week. The trade Is much surprised at the advance as they expected further offerings from the south on the improvement of last night. A feature in the situation was tho large forwardings from Liverpool to the spinners-97,000 bales-for the week. This in view of the many poor trade ao- counts from Manchester was not easily explained. On the whole the trade is a little dazed tonight at the sharp recov- cry; if it Is maintained over Sunday we expect spinners home and abroad will be- come buyers. Foreign exchange seems

REVIEW
 OF COTTON MARKET

New York. October 29-The cotton mar ket has been extremely nervous and ir- regular during the past week. with prices violently between the bullish view of crop and domestic trade pros- situation combined with apprehension that accommodating supplies in the south might cause weakness among interior holders. The failure of the census report, showing only 5.713s47 bales of cotton ginned to October IS this season, to inspire general or aggressive buying, seemed to strength en bearish assumptions that small crop estimates had been discounted and the market broke very sharply during the middle of the week.
 More favorable weather in the south and a tendency in some quarters to in- CT ease estimates of the western belt yield. as we'll as the small export movement scarcity of ocean freight room and the unsettled ruling or sterling exchange con- trlbuted to the decline while disturbed political conditions abroad alsc tended to ursettle speculative sentiment. At the decline to 11.S5c for January contracts or about $6.75 per bale below the high level of the season. however. there was q renewal of aggressive bull support. and the market today recovered nearly s2 per bale of It's recent losses on reiteration of small crop offerings. The flrmer rul- ing of sterling exchange toward the end of the week, as well as private crop es- tirsteb of around II, ,00. 0o0 bales. were fac- tors on the improvement, but the buying lseemed to come largely from shorts or from former prominent bull leaders, and general sentiment remained rather ner- vous and unsettled.
 New England spinners were reported to be buying quito freely on call during the of the decline during the week, but this demand was less in evidence on the rally today. and 1t was quite gen erally assumed around the ring that the buying movement was based upon an icen that the decline had put the mar ket in . position to be again influenced by bulliah factors.
