While the local market prices remained steady throughout yesterday. considerable nervousness was noticeable on Morris avenue, following the heavy fluctuations of the day before.

Ayery's Letter


 1 The cotton market today. after an early sinking spell caused by further liquida- tion by those who failed to get out yes- l terday, responded finally to the strength of the spot markets. good exports and a general feeling that the world was not l going to come to an end, at least for q day or so, anyway.
 | The speculative interest in the market l in this particular campaign, differs from anyone have ever seen, and am speak - ing from nearly 20 years experience, in regard to the confidence displayed by | holders of contracts and their ability to margin accounts. There Is no weak in- terest or organizing, as in former cam paigns, which made the speculative mar ! ket a house of cards. Thus the market I has had, and will have tremendous resist ing power to bear drives. Furthermore | this campaign is based on facts and sound economic grounds, which are summed up by saying the demand promises to exceed the supply by far more than a million bales.
 l The break of yesterday was precipitated
 by wheat speculators who having both 1 wheat and cotton and having to protect | their wheat. threw over their cotton. This gave the bears their opportunity. which they were quick to seize upon. An analysis Of the last price movement shows that cotton. from the last break 1 of any consequence had advanced 47J points, and considering this fact I cer- 1 tainly regard reaction of only about 12o points as being little short of remarkable and in my opinion Is the best argument in the world that present prices are en-
 tirely justified.
 l Spot markets were marked off in some quarters, but 1t was noticeable that where they were, there were no sales. | Advise waiting attitude until we can determine whether the liquidation is over. | E. F. Hutt0n's Stock Letter i Furnished by c. F. Avery's private wire.) l New York, October 26-It has been a bear market for two days, according to the street. Yet. prices in most cases are higher. Former stocks, which were &C., | tive, like Union Pacific and Chesapeake and Ohio. have become dull and fairly heavy. Others which were inactive, are now leaders It is perfectly natural. In bull market or in a bear market, the trading element switch from the stocxs
 which have stopped moving into the new ones that are moving. There are plenty ] of people who are bearish because they think prices are too high, because. they think we will have a presidential scare,

THE DEMOCRATIC MEETING
LAST TUESDAY,

The Congressional campaign O
the Third District was opened ul
in New Iberia on Tuesday with q
splendid meeting at the Courr
House. The LARGE audience which
greeted the speakers came away
feeling more than ever that Hon

impression in New Iberia. His
appeal to the farmers and labor
ing men that it was to their inter
rests to support both he and VII
son. citing good logical reasons
therefor. that cannot be refuted
made many votes for him in New
