My dear Nichols:
| want to take this opportunity of
thanking you and expressing my per-

the Democratic organization, for your
onstant remaining at your post here,
and for the wise, diligent and patri-
otic performance of every duty en-

Dear Mr.. Nichols:
/ write to say that | have not en-
tirely given up hope of the passage
of the Burnett Immigration Bill
through the Senate at this session, and
to ask you to keep a watch out for
the same if it should be passed in
that body and come back to the House
for action on the Senate Amendments.
| know the earnestness and zeal
with which you have always cham
'ioned this Bill, and the fact that
have relied on you whenever the battle
has been on for the bill causes me to
invoke your continued active aid if
the Bill should reach the House again
towards the close of the session.
1t may be Of purpose of the enemies
of the Bill to try to get it through
the Senate and before the House when
its friends are not on their guard, and
in that way either defeat its passage
or postpone it until the next session.
The bill has had no more loyal sup
porter than yourself, and l, therefore.
write you as one of our trusted lieu
tenants in securing this much needed
legislation.
With best wishes, an,
! Your friend truly

WHEAT ADVANCES
 ONEXPORT BUYING
Weather Reports of Argen- tina Affect Market and
 Close Was Unsettled

Chicago, October 2e.-Resumption of ex- port buying caused a late upturn in the price of wheat today after the market had displayed much heaviness, owing to rains in Argentina and to the temporary stoppage of foreign demand. The close was unsettled at the same as yesterdays finish to A-cent higher, with December at s1 .SO1aQ1. .se3z, and May s1. .SoA91 .S0al. Corn lost ssc to %c net; oats, Ac to sc, and provisions, 2114c to 72c.
 It was not until within 15 minutes of the end of trading that an announcement was made of the revival of export busi- ness in wheat. All through the previous part of the day the bulls had been hand icapped so severely that rallies, no mat ter how vigorous. failed to last It did not appear that the rains in Argentina were general, but bearish predictions were current that before the moisture supply was shut off the drouth would be vir- tually over This view seemed to be more at Buenos Aires.
 Estimates of the export sales of wheat ran as high as 1,100,0OO bushels. In the presence of such a pronounced bullish development, sentiment changed quickly and today's losses entirely disappeared The time before the final gong was so short. however. that opinions were not tested as to whether yesterdays big set back was also to be overcome in a hurry.
 Increased country offerings proved too much of a burden for the corn mar ket. The late rally In wheat acted only sS an. offset in part Oats were upheld to some extent by export inquiry. The scarcity of cars, though, interfered with the acceptance of bids.
 Provisions seemed to be under good deal of selling pressure from packers. The market was further weakened by a break in the value of hogs.
 Future quotations were as follows

Sugar Market

New York, October 26.-The market for raw sugar was only moderately active to- day, but the undertone was firm and spot prices were established on the basis of 55sc for Cubas, cost and freight, on sales of 1000 bags of Cubas for prompt clear ance, representing an advance of 1sc over previous spot sales. The close was steady with rumors of further business from store at prevailing prices, but no conf1r- nation was received. Prices were 55sc for Cubas cost and freight, equal to 6.64c for centrifugal and 5.77c for molasses. Continued inquiry from exporters and the further advance in raws led to a higher market in refined sugar with all refiners except one advancing prices, the list now ranging from 750c to 775c for fine granuated. Withdrawals on old order goods continued good.- but the advance checked new business to some extent, although there were further small sales reported for export account.
 The strength of raws and the continued buying of refined by exporters led to quite an active buying movement in the market for sugar futures, with closing prices to 16 points net higher. December showed the maximum gain on active cov- ering by commission houses. Sales were 31, 400 tons. December sold from 5.15c to 5.27c, closing 5.27c; January, 4.66c to 471c closing 4.71c; March, 4.34c to 4.S7c, closing 4.36c; Maly 443c to 4.45c, closing 443c; July, 4.50c, closing 449c.

Charles FairchiIds & Co.'S Letter

New York. October 26.-(Special.) The cotton market today was nor yous. cratic affair from the early high figures to the low point. Around p. m. declines ranging from 62 to 61 points were recorded. Tn the closing hour one of the most prominent of To- cal bulls started a buying movement and with the ring crowd and Wall street speculators short a sharp ad- vance was easily brought about The market is apparently well liquidated and it is quite possible that a further advance may occur tomorrow.
 Swept bare of weak longs. the mar ket is again temporarily under dom- ination of the big interests which have fought so tenaciously for higher prices all this season. Cotton is still undoubt- edly very cheap and we believe will sell materially higher, but we favor purchases of futures only on sharp breaks and even then moderately. Big margins are now demandjng-S7 per bale and even higher. and this will doubtless divert a good many specula- tive interests to stocks and grain. We look for a market of quick swings up and down and waiting attitude may be the best for the outsider until the situation becomes more settled. Cot toin oil had it's period of liquidation today and closed at the bottom Jan nary broke from 1260c to 1222c. March from 12.74c to 12.31c, May from 12.90c to 12.42c. It may work up again If cotton advances. but we cannot advise purchases at present levels. Big long speculative lines are still open. Further liuuidation might depress prices sharply.
