TRADING IRREGULAR
ON STOCK EXCHANGE /
Equipment and Munition
Shares Less Active.
u. S. Steel Normal

New York, October 24-The approach
of the presidential election and attention
paid to political considerations were ac-
the irregularity of today's later dealings
after forenoon of decided strength.
Prices yielded or 2 points from their
best, declines being effected on compar-
atively light offerings. The last half of
the session was characterized by frequent
intervals of lassiture, trading from mid
day to the close barely amounting to one
third of the 1.630,000 shares.
Quotations were at lowest levels in the
last hour, but rallied substantially before
the end, when leather and paper shares,
as well as petroleums and obscure rails
were in urgent demand.
Bethlehem Steel was the outstanding
feature of the morning, rising Al points
to the new record of 629, but closing at
GIG General Motors also scored a new
maximum at S37 and American Beet, Cuba
Cane and American sugars were lifted TO
record quotations, together wifi Central
Leather, Utah Copper and Consolidated
Gas and Electric of Baltimore
Equipment and munition issues were
less prominent than usual and transact
tons in these groups were made a moder-
ate concession, similar conditions apply
ing to most of the motors, General Elec-
trio, International Nickel and shipping
shares
Aside from it's wanted leadership as to
activity, United States Steel pursued a
comparatively normal and narrow course,
making q net decline of 11s after tenn
porary advance of a fraction Standard
rails reflected prevailing speculative sem
tinent and nondividend issues of that di-
vision were strong, except Wabash which
lost some ground
Continued irregularity on the bond mar
ket was traceable to further selling of in
ternationals, especially Anglo-French IS.
Total sales bonds, par value, $6,570,O00.
United States bonds We're unchanged on
call.

Coffee Market

New York, October 24.-The market for
coffee futures showed renewed firmness
and increasing activity yesterday owing
to broadening demand from brokers with
wall street and cotton trade connec-
tions> The opening was at an advance OF
to 10 points There appeared to be
little selling by trade interests around
the initial figures which some attributed
to hedging against recent cost and freight
purchases. The offerings We're we'll alb
sorbed however, and the market firmed
up with March advancing from S.74c 70
$3.50, and with the general list selling
10 to "a points net higher. The close

realizing, but showed a net gain of from

HUGE EXPORT SALES
SENDS PRICES Up
Wheat Market Is Active
on Crop Reports and
European Demand

Chicago, October A.-Huge export sales
of wheat caused prices today to advance
to an extent that made any previous quo
tations since the beginning of the Euro
pean war look cheap. The market closed
strong 17sc to 411c net higher, with De-
cember at s1.7s7s to s1.7sls, and May at
st.7S1s to N7S%. Other leading staples,
too, all scored gains; corn, 1Mc to 2hc;
oats, 11sc to 1870, and provisions &c to
$40.
Bulges in the value of wheat were pre-
coded by weak start and by series of
nervous fluctuations before the market
in the last hour of the session took the
upgrade in earnest. Early declines were
largely the resultaof reports of unsettled
weather in Argentina pointing to a pos
Sible breakup of the drouth which has
brought about serious crop damage there.
Assertions were also current that the Ar
gentine damage had been to some de-
gree exaggerated. A big falling off in the
European visible supply, as compared
with week ago, however, gave an adj
vantage to the bulls, and was later en-
phasized by the fact that the world sup
ply total showed for the first time in
months something of a decrease. Never
theless, no unusual upward leap in prices
took place until word came that export
business of the day would aggregate as
much as 100000 bushels
Highest quotations Of the season
quickly followed not only for wheat but
also for the entire grain list In connec-
ton with the immense sales of wheat
to Europe, the fact was pointed out that
primary receipts in the United States
today were less than half as large as a
year ago.
Corn borrowed most of its strength
from wheat Country offerings of new
corn We're larger but it was feared that
rain would delay the movement. Oats
advanced in sympathy with other grain
and because Of big export sales. The
amount of oats taken today by Europe
was estiuated at 1,0O0,0 900 bushels.
Speculative buying led to excited up
turns in the provision market. There
were intimations of large export orders
being filled, but the rumors were not
confirmed. Offerings proved unusually
scarce.
Future quotations were as follows:

New York, October A.-Central Leather
made new high End 1t looks as though
there was a pool at work. Hide and
Leather, as forecast by us, presented a
very sorry statement of earnings for the
last quarter. This stock, especially the
common. has advanced recently on tips
which have been spread all over On
its present earnings. the common is 10
points too high and preferred 25. at least.
We believe that the next quarter will
show improvement.
There was good buying Of Union Pacific
on expectation of extra dividends. Those
who bought Norfolk recently, believing
that an extra dividend would come to-
morrow, have been selling out. As long
as trade conditions remain as they are,
the trend will be higher.

SHARP ADVANCES
ON COTTON MARKET
Late Trading Excited and
Market Closed at Big
Advance

New York October A-The cotton mar
ket was very nervous and unsettled to-
day, but early declines were followed by
very sharp advances, and all deliveries
made new high records for the season in
the late trading. January contracts sold
up from 19.11c to 1900, closing at 1886,
with the general last closing excited at
an advance Of 81 to s5 points for the
day.
The market sold into new high ground
at the opening, first prices being to q
points higher, but the tone was barely
steady, and 1t was evident that the ad-
vance was meeting heavy realization.
Possibly rumors that submarines were
still near the Atlantic coast contributed
somewhat to the nervousness. and profit
taking may also have been promoted
by reports Of rather an unsettled tone in
the market for cotton goods. The main
factor, however, seemed to be uncertainty
as to the showing of the census figures
tomorrow morning, while the talk around
the ring also indicated that the extent
and rapidity Of recent advances had
creased reactionary sentiment. Wall
street, western and local interests were
very heavy sellers for profits on the set
back, and a few stop orders were uncov-
cred on the break to 1s.11c for January
and 1920 for March or about so to SO
points from the early high level. But
the south seemed to be selling very little
cotton here, while trade interests were
credited with buying on the decline, and
the market showed renewed strength and
activity in the late trading, with Decem-
Der selling up to 1e.54c for March to
19.71c and with the general list show
ing net advances of about 35 to ~ points.
Rumors that the submarine referred to
in earlier reports had been sunk may
possibly have contributed somewhat to
the later advance, but the movement
seemed more largely a result of bullish
southern spot advices, the continued
heavy exports, and a renewal of bull
support. Closing prices showed reactions
of a few points from the best under
realizing. The census report giving the
amount of cotton ginned to October IL
will be published at the opening tomor-
row. Private cables attributed the ad-
vance in Liverpool to covering and small
offerings.

Sugar Market

New York. October 24.-The market
for raw sugar was quieter and buyers
and sellers were apart. Refiners were
in the market again at 51a cents for
Cuban, cost and freight, but holders
were asking 55s. In the absence of
business spot prices were nominally
unchanged at SIC for Cubas, cost and
freight equal to 6.52c for centrifugal
with molasses quoted at 5.64c.
In refined there was only q moder-
ate business reported, although there
were good Withdrawals on contract.
There were rumors that exporters had
purchased between 5000 and 5000 tons
recently, but no confirmation was re-
ceived. Prices remained unchanged at
1860 to 1900 for fine granulated.
Futures were little more active

The cotton market today opened up in
response to very strong Liverpool. The
bulge in American markets met realiz-
ing sales which sent prices back to the
previous close. The recession found ready
buyers, who took everything in sight.
The publication Of the days exports of
1900 and advances in most spot markets

chance at the shorts, which they were
prompt to take advantage of with the
resulting consequences prices closed with
