MARKET BREAKS, BUT
 CLIMBS UP AGAIN
Another Nervous Day With Prices Up and DOwn-Close at 3 to 9 Point LOsS.-Market Opened Steady at Advance.

New York, Oct. 1.-The cotton market was eXtermely nervous and unsettled again today, with violent fluctuations, a sensational early break being followed by very sharp recov- cry, with the close firm, at a net de- cline of 3 to 9 points. After selling at 12.36c at the opening. January broke to 11.S5c during the first half hour of trading and closed at 12.23c l bid.
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of 13 points to a decline of 1 point, the advances being influenced by relatively steady cables and the un favorable weather in the South. Spot houses were sellers, however, and the market almost immediately weaken l ed following the circulation of a re- port to the effect that March contracts in New Orleans had sold off to 1125c and that the exchange had been closed. This was almost immediately follow ed by reports from Memphis and oth- CT Southern points indicating that the New Orleans Exchange had been clos ed since the close of Wednesday owing to it's isolation as a result of the storm, while it was also stated that the lowest price reached by March here during Wednesdays official trading was 11.90c.
 These advices corrected any pos sible misconception of the first re- port, but the break uncovered stop or ders and carried the active months 40 to 49 points net lower, with Dec ember selling at 11.70c and March at 12.10c, within the first half hour of trading. After the execution of stop orders the selling became less urgent and the market ruled very steady lat CT in the day on covering and bull support, which was encouraged by l bullish Southern spot advices, the heavy exports and continued appre- hension of damage from the storm which had caused heavy rains in cen tral and eastern sections of the belt. 1 Two private reports were published, one making the condition 62.7 and the other 63.7, and being rather more ia vorable than earlier figures may have contributed somewhat to the early decline
 Port receipts today, 44,5S1 bales; United States port stocks, 96S,645 bales; exports 79,675 bales; so far this season, 637,171 bales.

DEMAND INCREASES FOR GROUND LIME
 STONE FERTILIZER

Little Rock, Oct. 2.-Junius R. Case, manager of the Arkansas Lime Co.,, at Ruddells, above Batesville, 152 miles from Little Rock, was in the city yesterday. He reports an in- creasing demand for ground limestone fertilizer, and that his plant is shipp- ing three ear loads or about 100 tons daily. He now has enough business in view to keep the plant busy until next July. The company is contem- plating an increase in capacity to take care of the demand.
 This increase is due largely to the adoption of a more favorable freight rate, a reduction of practically 50 per cent having been made by the Commission. Formerly the rate per ton was $2.5O for a 300-mile haul, and it is now $1.20 per ton for the same distance, which will reach any point in the state. More was sold in Sep tember than in six months last year. There is a heavy demand from the Southern part of the State. From one to three tons per acre is used. de- pending upon the character of the soil.

 In to last night, attention had been ,,led to only five counties in which +b;s condition existed.

Little Rock, Oct. 2.-Statistics show that Arkansas sends out of the state annually $75,000, 900 for food products As part of a campaign against this, Home Products Show is to be held in the Arcade building, Little Rock, Oct. 27-30. An effort is to be made to increase home buying that some Of this vast sum may be kept at home.
 Dean J. H. Miller of the College of Agriculture, University of Arkansas, endorses the project in the following words: "Doubtless, in this state as in others, people buy from the grocer without any regard to the source of supply and in all probability the ma jority of the women of the towns and cities of Arkansas buy more canned vegetables and canned fruits grown in New York than they do Arkansas grown stuff. Your Home Products Show, therefore, in connection with the State Federation of Women's Clubs, will do wonders to educate peo- pie to using Arkansas products"
