New York, November 15.-There we're

much of their support from the adj

inaugurated by the United States Steel
corporation.
Coppers and allied metals responded to
the unprecedented conditions in that in

COTTON PRICES RISE
ON LATE TRADING
Local Spot Quotations and
Bullish Spot Accounts
Send Prices Upward

New Orleans, November 15.-Although
the cotton market was held down by
liquidation today during the greater part
of the session, pronounced strength was
displayed in the late trading and prices
bulged to new high levels for the sea-
son, the July option selling up to 2o.2Sc)

to the unexpected rise of u points in
local spot quotations. the advance of 70
points in Little Rock spot prices and
bullish spot accounts from the belt gen
orally. At the best of the day. prices
were to 10 points over yesterdays final
quotations. The close was firm at
net rise of points.

SHARP ADVANCE
ON COTTON MARKET
Market Makes Strong Rally
and New High Levels for
Season Are Reached

New York, November 15.--Early irregu-
larity was followed by a very sharp ad-
vance in the cotton market this after
noon with all deliveries making new
high records for the season. March con-
tracts sold up to 20.33c or more than $3.50
per bale from the low point Of the market
and closed at 2O2Sc, with the general list
closing strong at net advance Of to
IA points.
The market opened steady at a decline
of 4 to 16 points under overnight realiz-
ing orders, which seemed to have been
brought in by the new high prices es-
tablished late yesterday afternoon. This
first furry of selling was very quickly
absorbed by Liverpool, trade and south
ern buying, and prices rallied to about
last nights closing figures. Realizing
continued very heavy. however, while
it appeared that 20 cents for January
contracts had inspired reactionary senti-
ment, and the market weakened again
during the middle of the day. At times
the selling was more aggressive than
for the past two or three weeks, and the
market eased off to 1886 for January
and about 2o.1sc for May. At this level
offerings seemed to have been pretty well
absorbed and the market steadied during
the afternoon on private crop estimate
indicating yield of only 11,S50,000 bales,
including linters, and rumors that gin
ming returns to prominent western
house showed a very small total to No
vember "A. Trade interests continued
buyers, while there was a. renewed de-
mand from houses with Liverpool con-
nections, and early sellers turned to cover
during the last half hour. This gave the
market rather an excited appearance,
with Januar selling up to 20.17c and May
to 2o5Oc Some of the buying may have
been inspired by peace rumors, but the
advance was more generally attributed
to the bullish average of southern spot
advices and inspired confidence in the
smaller estimates of the crop.

WHEAT PRICES TAKE
AN UPWARD SWING
Crop Reports and Foreign
Situation Factors in the
Advance of Wheat

Chicago, November 15.--Although
talk OF peace parleys within four
months gave a temporary advantage
today to the bears in wheat. the mar
ket closed strong, influenced by an
nouncement that Argentine grain Of
ferings to Europe had been completely
withdrawn and by report that farm
reserves OF wheat in Canada weres
small. Closing prices were 80 to &c
net htg her, with December at 2LSIM
to s1.7s1z and May at s1.oo% q 1.el.
Corn gained "A q &c to sc and oats,
Is @ Nc to sc. Provisions showed a
setback of az to 10 points
Unexpected advances in wheat quo
tations at Liverpool gave right at the
start a decided upward swing to the
market here. II was explained that
arrivals of wheat I'm Great Britain
scanty and that millers' demands were
increasing. Moreover. Argentine crop
advices proved bullish and foreigners
seemed eager to acquire Chicago con-
tracts for future deliveries Soon,
however the market headed downward
faster than it Fad gone up. Bears
were making much of the peace inter
view from Count Apponyi. the Hun
garian leader and II was not until the
last is minutes of the session that the
bulls again gained control of the
market.
Announcement of the complete with
drawal of Argentine offers Of wheat
to Europe was coupled here with
earlier advices implying that the gov
eminent of Argentine was contemplate
ing q possible embargo.
Much late buying resulted also from
reports credited to the northwestern
grain dealers association, saying that
the Canadian prairie crop was $4,000
coo bushels less than last years total
and that only 43,670,0o0 bushels was
now left In farmers hands.
Corn swayed with wheat. Bullish
Argentine reports were in a measure
offset by assertions that rural domes-
tic offerings of corn to arrive here
had noticeably increased. Demand
from the seaboard helped to uphold the
oats market. The Canadian govern
ment northwest crop was estimated
to be 100000 bushels less than in
1915.
Provisions gave way on account OF
weakness in the price of hogs. Later,
though, packers buying led TO some
thing of a rally.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, November Special -Ad-
Vices from Liverpool today stated that
the market there was rather tired and,
therefore. did not fully advance in SYM
pathy with our advance of yesterday.
After an initial decline the market stead
led on local trade buying on the idea
that the usual support would appear
sooner or later. During the day there
was a considerable amount OF liquidation,
which was fairly well taken. In the late
afternoon a coJSblnation of buying or
ders from Wall Street appeared, causing
an advance of some 10 points over last
night.
Hedge selling increased today but the
general trade is afraid to operate heavI-
ly in the market. while It is in this wild
condition.
At the same time 1t must not be for
gotten that these prices are extremely
high and anything which may upset con-
lidence would be followed by very sharp
break.
