WHEAT VALUES TAKE A DOWNWARD TURN
Report That Europeans Were Reselling Wheat
 Sends Prices Down

Chicago. November 24-LaclS of ex- port demand put wheat values today most of the time on the downgrade. Quotations finished nervous. M@%c to E net lower, with December at S10SA and May at S1.06B. Corn closed % to s @1c; oats. with gain of Is Ac to A @ sc, and provisions unchanged to S2Ac c higher,
 Assertions that Europeans instead of buying were reselling wheat at the sea- board did a good deal to give bearish sentiment decided effect One exporter alone was said to have received orders from Great Britain to cancel the pur- chase of as many as 30 loads which had been bought for December shipment. The market here was also bearishly af- fected by a decline in Liverpool, ascribed chiefly to enlarged arrivals. both native grown and from abroad. Peace talk, high vessel rates and the congestion of railway facilities in the e9 st tended likewise in some degree to handicap the bulls.
 Wheat prices showed at one time vigorous rally but the strength ap- peared to develop almost entirely in response to a bulge in the corn mar ket, and did not prove of a lasting sort. Complaints from the southwest that stocks were piling up seemed to form a sufficient cause for renewed weakness that prevailed in the final hour of the session.
 Corn trading broadened and prices went to new high records for the sea- son. Country houses and eastern con- cerns led the buying, which was based in the main on adverse returns from husking and on predictions of unsettled weather. Oats were governed almost entirely by corn. During the upturns, Iowa oats sold freely to arrive.
 Provisions made some sharp upturns and showed unusual activity among buyers, a large number of whom, how evcr were shorts. To a great degree, the advances appeared to be the result of higher prices for cotton seed oil.
 Future quotations were as follows:

FIRM UNDERTONE IN COTTON MARKET Close of Market Was Prob ably the Best of the
 Session

New Orleans, November 24-Higher spot prices locally and reports of improve ment. in the spot demand at many points ln the south gave the cotton market a hrm undertone today and caused buying which put prices 20 to 2 points over yes- terday's last quotations. The gain was held to the close, which was firm at q. net advance of 19 to p points.
 Notices of delivery of 4O0O bales on De- cember contract swere issued in this mar ket and December notices in the, Amer lean markets generally were expected to cause some selling around the opening, but Liverpool was better than due and the market here had good tone and stood at the advance from the start. Notices were stopped quickly and the bulls turned this to their advantage as they did reports from the interior telling of more interest in spots on the part of buyers Late in the day the rise of F points in local spot quotations helped futures and was feature in closing the narket practically at the best of the session.
 The market will be closed tomorrow. owing to the Thanksgiving holiday

PRICES ARE STEADY
 ON MORRIS AVENUE
TwO-Cent Drop in Price of Turkeys Only Change
 Noted

There were no changes on Morris ave- nue yesterday and prices remain un- changed except in turkey, which took a 2-cent drop, due to oversupply and poor condition of the fowls. However, dealers say there will be no difficulty in disposing of all that is left over, as the Birmingham people do not wait for Thanksgiving to eat turkey, but serve it most any and every day.
 Fine cream cheese is also off F cent and is quoted at 1Sc.
 The produce market is strong, with good supply of all commodities.
 Meat and creamery products are also firm, with no change in quotations and a brisk business reported by dealers.
 There is a small oyster famine on since the past AS hours, and dealers fear they will be unable to supply the entire Thanksgiving trade The short age is due to the continued cold weather and overconsumption
 However, a full car of Chesapeake bay oysters will arrive Saturday. which will relieve the situation.
 No serious conSiuerauon IS given the shortage by dealers, and they expect normal conditions to again prevail in q few days.
 The price remains unchanged.
 All varieties of fish are in plenty and prices unchanged.
 While some of the dealers report a good days trade yesterday, others were somewhat dissatisfied with the day's business, but hope for improved condi- tions the balance of the week. Today's quotations follow:

CASE OF BLUFFING,
 SAYS LOCAL BROKER


 The cotton market opened today under the influence of the threatened tenders on December contracts by some New York spot interests, which proved to be a big bluff, and the notices which were issued for 10000 Decembers were stopped by the very people who issued them. and the market was bid up on them before they could get them back. It was a case oftbluffing without having an ace in the hole.
 "A specula tive short interest, better ex- port demand and the failure of the buy e4A to aislodge the spot holders were the rcitvhuling influences which caused the eosfce raaraet to close at the top for the rh&TixSA svfts y holidays.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, November A.--(SpecIhIi : Many notices were received this morning with only momentary effect upon prices which from a slight decline advanced until the close Our cablegram from Liverpool stated that there was demand for actual cotton which, in view of the small offerings from the south. caused an advance in the near positions. It would seem as though the reduction in the amount of cotton in or for Liverpool was beginning to be felt and it may be that the export demand, which was delayed this season, as well as last, though through different causes, may be commencing to make itself felt. Anyhow. there was comparatively little cotton
 sor sale here when the demand appeared.

Charles Fairchilds & Co.'s Letter

New York November 24.- Especial )--The cotton market today fulfilled our expec- tations of higher prices as expressed in our telegraphic reports of yesterday. The advance was gradual and 1t was evident that purchasers were making no attempt to force a sudden run-in of the shorts.
 The south sold moderately on the ad- vance to hedge long cotton bought at higher levels. We expect higher markets and favor purchases of cotton Friday. Trade interests have been steadily ac- cumulating futures lately. Spectators are short and are likely to make stub born resistance against a further ad- vance However, from our viewpoint they have overstayed their market and will have to cover at higher levels. May oil advanced to S.45c today. We believe this option is likely to have sharp ad- vance very shortly We still favor it's purchase Tomorrow. Thanksgiving Day, is holiday on all American exchanges.

COTTON PRICES
 ADVANCE STEADILY
Market Shows Increased Firmness On Improved
 Export Demand

New York; November 24-The cotton market developed a cecidedly steadier tone today, with January contracts sell ing up to II .ssc and closing at Il .S2c. The general list closed steady at a net ad- vance of IA to 19 points.
 The market opened steady at unchanged prices~ to decline of points, with near months relatively easy under scattered commission house liquidation, which was attributed to the circulation of Deeem- Der notices estimated at about 10000 bales. It seemed, however. thaJ a difference of about 20 points between December and January several of the :ocal spot houses were eager buyers of the near position, and prices soon steaded on the ready ab- sorption of the near month liquidation, steadiness in Liverpool, more bullsh southern spot advices and covering of shorts.
 Slight reactions occurred during the middle of the. morning as result of realizing, but there was very little cot ton for sale, and the market showed in- cree sing firmness late in the afternoon on reports of an improved export demand in the south, covering for over the holi- uuS ano TatHer more support rom DulnSl sources. December contracts advanced to H. zoe, while March worked up to 12. 12c ana May to 2.30c.
 Early new crop deliveries were a little more active and showed more firmness owing to more numerous reports of fertil- izer scarcity with contracts for October delivery selling at 12.06c Rumors that the crop estimate of a Memphis authority to be issued on Friday would make a buliish showing, and that New Orleans authority would alsQ issue bullish crop estimate at the beginning of the week. were probably factors on the advance but the talk around the ring was chiefly concerned with the reported improvement in the spot situation and the continued absence of hedge selling.
