POLITICS IS FACTOR
IN COTTON MARKET
Changes Come Rapidly as
Reports Favor Hughes
and Then Wilson

New Orleans, November 9.-Follow-
ing a period of quiet in the early trad
ing, cotton developed sudden activity
and strength today and rose 26 to SO
points over yesterdays close to with
in few points of the highest levels of
the season. Political rumors played an
important part in the days trading.
The bulge resulted from unconfirmed
rumors that Hughes had been elected,
but toward the close an unverified ru-
NOR that the republicans had conceded
the election to Wilson was against
values, and last prices for the day were
at a net gain of 16 to 10 points.
The market was small and nervous
around the opening, with business re-
stricted to the near months, which fell
off from to points. Soon after the
call this loss was recovered. From
noon on the ring was active and, at
times, excited. July traded up to 1880,
or within A points of the highest level
recorded for that option.
The market was steadied by favora-
BILE spot accounts and the rise Of l;
points in local spot quotations, which
put middling to 1880, a new high rec
ord for the season. Large exports con-
tributed strength. the movement Tor
the day being 35,346 bales, making the
total thus far this week 1S2.S48.

Shrapnel Couldn't Be Heard

Sergeant James Mcconnell, of the
American Escadrille that is fighting for
France, describes. in the Worlds Work
for November. some OF the experiences
of flying in the clouds:
I'VE were over Melfort and headed for
the trench lines. The cloud banks dropped
behind, and below us we saw the smiling
plain of Alsace stretching eastward 10
the Rhine. 1t was distinctly pleasurabla
flying over this conquered land. Follow.
ing the course of the canal that runs
to the Rhine I sighted, from height OF
1900 feet over Dannemarie, a series Of
brown, woodworm-lke tracings on the
ground-the trenches.
my attention was drawn elsewhere ale
most Immediately however. Two balls
of black smoke had suddenly appeared
close to one of the machines ahead Of
me. and with the same disconcerting alb
ruptness similar balls began to dot the
sky above, below. and on all sides Of us.
We were being shot at with shrapnel. It
was interesting to watch the flash OF
the bursting shells. and the attendant
smoke puffs-black. white. or yellow, de-
pending on the kind of shrapnel used. The
roar of the engine drowned the noise OF
the explosions. Strangely enough, my
feelings about it were wholly impersonal.''

MARKET REACTS
UNDER REALIZING
General List Closed Steady
at a Net Advance of
10 to % Points

New York, November s-Nervousness
over election uncertainties appeared to be
wearing off in the cotton market today

advanced sharply with many contracts

Reactions followed with that delivery.

| closing steady at a net advance of 10 to

The market opened steady at decline
| of to points in response to reactions
abroad. but very soon steaded on scat
tered buying which seemed to reflect the
bullish view of yesterdays census figures
and reports of strong spot markets in the
south. After showing net advance of
about to s points prices reacted slightly
under realizing and the uncertainty over
election returns seemed to DO restricting
general business. Offerings were well
taken however, while southern spot adj
vices continued bullish and the market
developed increased strength around mid
day Wall street, western and local trad
ers were very active buyers for a time
with January selling up to 1872 and
March to 1885, or about q to 81 points
above last nights closing figures. This
carried May contracts back to within

| lished on October rs, and seemed to at
tract a good deal of realizing. At any
| rate, the advance was checked and clos
| ing prices showed reactions of some Is
to Is points from the best. Conflicting
| claims as to election results Seemed to
occasion some further irregularity, but
| the market showed more interest in spot
| advices and in yesterdays ginning re-
turns than had been the case during yes
! terday's trading. Much of the buying on
| the early afternoon advance was attrib-
uted to covering and the technical posi-
\ ton of the market seemed to have come
stronger as result of recent heavy real
izing. Private cables attributed an early
| advance in Liverpool to continental buy

.8yl C OF STOCKS
a..---- AND CONFIDENT
One-Third of Trading Con-
tributed By United States
Steel a.

New York, November 9-Regardless OF
political considerations, Wall street, or
at least the most venturesome members
Of that community continued today to
manifest their belief in basic and intrin-
sic conditions by free and confident buy
ing of stocks, especially industrials'
equipments of the semi-war variety and
coppers.
Rails were relatively backward and
sluggish and motors suffered from the
same restraints so long observed in that
particular group. The movement, as a
whole, was obviously of professional
origin, public interest holding aloof in
view of possible contingencies.
Many new high records were made,
chief among these being Central Leather,
which rose 11% points to 119; Lackawanna
Steel, 51s to 96A; American Writing Pa
pare, to 70; Union Bag and Paper
new issue), to 107; American Locomo-
tive, 5A to 9S14, and Alls-Chalmers pre-
ferred, 6 to go. In addition, Sears-Roe-
buck and the several issues of the Gulf
States Steel company registered new
maximums.
Over one-thrd of the total turnover OF
about 100000 shares was contributed by
United States Steel Leather and the
ing $4,000 Other strong and active is
sues included Republic Iron, Crucible
Steel, Pressed Steel Car, American Car
and the sugars.
Coppers as whole, were prominent
throughout, but gains were comparatively
small, despite the brilliant statements
Submitted by the Utah and Chino COM
panies and another sharp rise in the re-
fined metal to 3014 with premium on
this price for immediate delivery. Esti-
mates for steel earnings for the current
quarter, popularity placed at an unprece-
denied volume, accounted for the
strength of that issue in the face of bear
pressure
Dealings in bonds were moderate and
lacking in feature, except for the strength
of Lackawanna Steel and United States
Steel sinking funds. Total sales, par
value, aggregated $5.670,000.
United States bonds were unchanged on
call.

NEW HIGH LEVELS
FOR WHEAT PRICES
Big Export Demand Is Re-
sponsible for Advance.
Market Strong

Chicago, November "a rise in
wheat today carried wheat prices to
the highest level yet this season for
the May delivery, $1.s2% a bushel. A
big export demand was chiefly re-
sponsible. The market closed strong,
~ @3Hc net higher, with December
at s1.S9% @1.90 and May at $192ts.
other leading staples, too, all showed
gains-corn 2k @3%c. oats &c to IS
@1Ac and provisions $50 45c.
Free buying on the part of houses
that usually contracted for British in
terests was the main factor in taking
all the surplus offerings out of the
wheat pit until the December as we'll
as the May option had risen well up
into the "nineties." After that point
had been reached profit taking by
holders was rather heavy at times and
acted as a check on the more enthu-
siastic of the bulls In connection with
the advance reports were current that
British purchases this week In the Uni
ted States and Canada amounted to
several million bushels and that ship
ments from lake ports would be con-
tinued, If possible, until December is,
although navigation usually ends about
December 5.
Further reductions in estimates of
the Argentine exportable surplus
helped today's upturn in wheat prices
and so likewise did reports of unfa-
yorable weather in Argentina. The
bears were also decidedly handicapped
by the advance of prices in the New
York stock market.
Corn reached the highest price level
in "a years. The fact that American
corn could be laid down in Liverpool
cheaper than Argentine corn was q
fa ctor in addition to the bullish show
| ing of the government crop report.
Foreign demand gave strength to oats,
which were further assisted by the
rise of other grain.
Higher quotations on hogs and CO.
reals lifted provisions. Lard sold at
| $17.17h for December delivery, the top
most figures since 1870.
Future uuotatiOnS were as follows:

but at the moment, stocks are in wrong
hands.
Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, November 9.-The activity
in the market today was due to the large
concentrated buying orders coming from
western sources. General trading was on
a much lessened scale In the afternoon
the advance enabled buyers in the south
to obtain cotton and to liqudate their
December hedges, which broke that de-
livery below January and had the effect
Of arresting the buying and turning the
market back some II points from the best
prices, which were closed to the high of
the year. After the close the market was
from to 5 points lower. Local traders
feel that these large outside operators
are long a large amount of cotton and
will endeavor to advance the market
higher, but the long continued good
weather is leading many in the trade to
look for increased crop estimates as a
result of the marvellous development of
the plant wherever killing frost has not
occurred.
