WEEKLY REVIEW
 OF COTTON MARKET
Prices Reach High Level, But Reactions Follow and
 Market Became Irregular

New York. October s.-The governments crop report placing the condition at only CO.'S per. cent or more than per cent below the 1o-year average, and indicating q lint yield of only t0.gOooo0 bales. stimu- lated the buying movement to even great CT activity and excitement during the ear Her part of the week in the cotton market. January contracts. which had sold off to 11.S5c on the Friday preced- ing, were carried up to 13 20c. or more than seo per bale above the low level or July before there was any subsistence of the demand. At this level however. the tendency to take profits became moro general, while support was less aggressive and the market has since been nervous and irregular. with business somewhat less active. Reactions of about 8 per bale have been followed by fair rallies. however, and selling has been checked by unfavorable weather conditions in tho belt. bullish southern spot adviccs and re- iterated predictions of ultimately much higher values. Naturally enough, tho small crop figures have met with criti- oism, particularly from those who believe that the acreage has been underesti- mated, although ginning returns to Sep tember & were considered in line with short crop figures while nearly all private adyices reaching the trade have con- hrmed the official statements as to the poor prospects for any top crop this season. Still the failure of the lower tenn peratures and more recent rains to create a moro aggressive outside demand has been regarded by some as indicating that crop estimates had already been far enough reduced. while private cables re- porting that a Liverpool statistician es- timated the worlds consumption of Amer ican cotton for the season at only t2.500.- GOO bales may also have promoted the more reactionary tendency of the mar ket. 1t seems, however. that there Is R. very substantial divergence of opinion as to requirements among English author tiles as O London statistician not long ago was credited with estimating them at fully 15.00o.0o0 bales Toward the end of the week there was more talk of hedge selling and of freer offerings by growers but the bulk of the pressure against prices has been attributed to the liquida- tion of speculative long accounts.

COTTON UNSETTLED
 AND PRICES DROP
Market Given Steady Under tone by Weather and
 High Price Reports

New Orleans. October s.-Cotton re- mained unsettled today. bullish features not having their usual influence At the pest of the session prices were 4 to s points over yesterdays close: at their lowest they were F to IA points under. The close was at a net loss of 10 to 15 points.
 Better cables than due caused rise or to points around the opening but this soon was lost under liquidation Frost warnings resulted in renewed buying which put prices to net gain of to points but selling increased on the hard spots and around the middle of the day the market was at it's lowest. In the aft ernoon realizing by longs was persistent and offerings from this source checked all upward movements
 The market was given a steady under tone by the cold wave crossing the coun- try and by reports of high prices being paid for spots in the interior Modern te short selling was in evidence at times being based partly on the theory that a reaction from the decline was immi- nent and partly on the claim that tenn peratures in the belt were not as low as predicted and would not do the dam- age expected.

REPORT
 CAUSES DECLINE Forecast of a Billion-Bushel Wheat Crop Start Prices
 Downward

Chicago October S.-Heavy selling be-
 cause of the government forecast of A 1000 ooo.ooo bushel crop resulted in a nearly
 continuous decline today in the price of
 wheat. The market closed nervous. si.c
 10 SssaSs4c net lower, with December at sl.ol7s and May at s1 1.o2ssa1. .O2S. Corn lost ssaii4c and oats 1sa&e. In provisions the outcome ranged from 2lkc decline to a rise of 5c.
 Bearish crop figures regarding wheat were sharply emphasized by early reports of notable break in quotations at Liver pool, The consequence was that as soon as the market opened here the pressure to aliquidate holdings began to carry down values at once. Speculative short selling added to the handicap on the bulls and so also did the fact that the Minne apolis and Duluth markets were at a full shipping difference under the Chicago scale. Chances that extensive shipments from the northwest would find their way 10 ,his city seemed to have special in- huehce In preventing any decided rally, ahh"ueh somo reaction from the days bottom figures were shown at the finish,
 Today was the first time this season that Chicago has been at a practical ship ping difference with any of the leading domestic centers of the wheat trade, In this connection, a well known authority was working to a greater premium over the rrices current at Winnipeg, and that the Canadian crop was being estimated as hieh as St1.0oe.000 bushels.
 In corn as in wheat. the government crop figures proved burden on prices Frost damage reports from Illinois Iowa and Nebra ske had some restraining inau- ence. but at times appeared to be almost wholly lest sight of. Seaboardr buying gave comparative steadiness to oats. The market, however. plainly showed the ef- iect Of .he weakness of other cereals
 Psofisions were irregular. selling by packers largely offset the fact that hogs reached new high price record for the sea son.

Hubbard Bros. X Co.'S Letter


 New York. October S.--(Special. )--As Liverpool was unexpectedly, higher and light frost was reported from sections of Oklahoma and Arkansas, the local trade and Wall street houses began to sell out their holdings from the opening of the market This selling continued all day, creating bearish feeling and lead ing traders to look for lower prices to- morrow despite the predictions of frost made by the government. the selling movement based on the same idea that we have heard before. that on this basis of prices there would be large amount Of cotton in the south seeking a mar ket and in progress of its sale 1t would cause at least a temporary decline. There has been little more buying by spin ners who are greatly impressed by the government predictions of a short crop. as they recall last season, in spite of the depression, the government kept on predicting a very large yield.

 NOTABLE ACTIVITY Bradstreet's Review of Busi- ness Conditions Shows
 Much Activity

New York. October S.--Bradstreet's s tomorrow will say:
 If the economic situation perform ance follows promise at rapid pace and as unfavorable factors are eimi- mated. even tagging lines are brought in touch with the circle of growing activity. Industry shows notable &C., tivity. Shipyards are working at top speed. steel mills are producing at a rapid rate, blast furnaces are working at an unparalleled gait, eight of the country's crops are of record proposi- tions, this weeks bank clearings reached peak point, textile mills are on full time, wooden mills are busy plants making munitions of war are overtaxed, flour millers are pushing production on a night and day basis to take care of home and foreign de- mands, machine tool shops are turn ing down orders because of inability to make deliveries, building values for September show a sharp gain over last year, our relations to international po- litical affairs are seemingly more re- assuring than at any time since the European war started, and almost ev- anywhere in the country optimism is rife.

DOWNWARD TREND
 OF COTTON PRICES
Market Nervous and Irregu- lar and Closes Steady at
 Net Decline

New York. October S.-The cotton mar. ket was less active today and prices showed further irregularity, with Jan. uary fluetuating between 12 ssc and 12 s7e and closing at 12.75c, with the general list finally steady at net decline of 5 to Il points on the day
 The market opened at an advance of s points to a decline of 6 points, near months being influenced by relatively firm cables. while later deliveries reflected dis appointment by some of yesterdays re- ports that the early weather map did not show killing temperatures Near months eased off with the later deliveries right after the call. but the official fore casts calling for frosts in several sections of both the eastern and western belts quickly checked the decline and active months sold to s points net higher dur ing the middle of the morning with De- cember selling at 12.72o and March at 13 14c. It seemed. however, that the frost predictions were not bringing in general or very aggressive buying. which seemed to strengthen reaetionary sentiment and prices broke again during the day on
 
 fering spots more freely and that the domestic spinners were showing little immediate interest in the market This decline carried December off to II .52c and March to l2.92c, or about 12 to 15 points net lower and was followed by rallies of some to points in the late trading on coyering; New Orleans buying and moderate support from local bulls Some of the early support seemed to come from Wall street sources and was probably encouraged by the firmer ruling of the stock market and there was talk of con- siderable rebuying by old bulls, who had taken profits earlier in the week. The official forecast was for warmer wealth CT in the western belt, following frosts tonight. According to mail advices the first official forecast of Inda's cotton crop prospects for 19i5-16 indicates a de- crease of p per cent in acreage
