WAVE OF REALIZING
SENDS PRICES UP
Cotton Market Preserved
Good Tone and Close
Was Steady

New ORLEANS, October IA reduction
in private ginning estimates had a slim
ulating effect on the price of cotton on
this market today, after a slump in the
early trading on a continuation OF tho
liquidation which has marked the last
two or three sessions. A fairly good tone
was preserved throughout the session and
the close was very steady at net gain
of to 10 points.
Around the opening prices were to g
points up on the cold weather. but this
Improvement was met by a wave Of real
fling which quickly sent active months
. to IL points under yesterdays close.
At this point a private forecast of
1905 600 to 100000 bales ginned TO Octo-
Der H. accompanied with a crop estl-
mate of II. 10000 bales, not including lin
ters, made its appearance. and the mar
kdt soon frmed up and recovered its
loss. The highest levels were reached
late in the session, when the active
months were to "A points over yester-
days last quotations.
Frost in the belt to the coast line,
freezing temperatures in the northern
positions and forecast OF more frost
for tonight, caused a renewal of talk
of decidedly short crop.

COTTON PRICES TAKE
A SHARP ADVANCE.
General List Closed Steady
at a Net Advance of 10
to IL Points

New York, October 21-Early irregu-
larity was followed by quite a sharp ad-
vance in the cotton market today with
January contracts selling up from 1s,28c
to IS SOC, and closing at 10. 4sc. The gen.
eral list closed very steady at a new
advance of 10 to II points.
The market opened steady at an ad-
vance OF to 9 points in response to
the low temperatures reported in both
the western and eastern belts. Very few
reports of crop damage as a result OF
freezing weather seemed to be reaching
the trade, however, while demand failed
to broaden much right after the opening
and prices soon eased off under a re-
newal of liquidation and local selling for
a reaction. But offerings were by no
means as heavy as they were previ-
ously since the reaction started from
the high records of last Wednesday morn
ing. and. after selling Off to Is $40 for
December and Is. 40c for March, or about
to points net lower, the market turned
steadier.
Bullish southern spot advices, reports
of continued activity in the goods trade
ana Ln6 dppcdI diCt vi tTduc Uuylh6 VI
ders around the ring seemed to help the
rally. Later buying became more activs
on rumors that private returns indicated
O. ginning of $4,000 bales to October
49, and pointed to a total crop of II, 400,0 900
bales, excluding linters. 1t seemed, too,
that liquidation during the past two or
three days had been sufficient to
strengthen the technical position of the
market and there was covering of shorts
for over the weekend. December con-
tracts sold up to 1880 and March to
IS CSC or about 70 to 10 points net higher,
and the close was within point or two
of the best.
Reports from Fall River said that sales
Of print cloths were estimated at 100000
pieces for the week and might have been
much heavier had manufacturers met
the demand freely. A wire from Houston
said that few spots were offered at the
decline and one Of the reports received
here from Alabama said there was good
spot demand at IS cents, with farmers
holding tighter than ever.

LIVELY UPTURN OF
WHEAT MARKET
Reports of Sensational Rise
in Buenos Ayres Send
Sellers to Cover

Chicago, October 21.--Although at
times unsettled today. wheat prices
finished strong at the highest closing
figures this season. A sharp advance
in quotations at Buenos Ayres caused
anxiety among shorts here and 1t was
evident that foreigners we're picking
up wheat on all set-backs. Gains
amounted to to INC net with Decem-
Der closing at s1.701s @1.70% and May
at $1.701a 1.70B. Corn showed rise
of q @27sc and oats of % q 1sc to nc.
The outcome for provisions was IN
changed to soc higher.
Attention of wheat traders focused
chiefly on developments regarding the
drouth in Argentina. First reports that
no rain of any consequence had fallen
were succeeded by rumors that crops
| in the central portions of Argentina
had received beneficial moisture. Aft
erward, however. advices appeared to
indicate that the drouth was not only
lunbroken but that the crop damage al
ready accomplished or now in pros
tpect had resulted in a sensational rise
Of prices at Buenos Ayres Tho result
was that early sellers here rushed to
cover, especially in the last 80 minutes
of the session, and that a lively upturn
was in progress as dealings came to
an end. Export business proved larger
than was generally expected The
English government was said to be ac-
lively in the wheat market and it was
said that another government had
purchased $1,000 to 10000 sacks Of
| -four. In this connection a good deal
| of interest was displayed as to the
amount of wheat left for export in the
United States. News of the shooting
Of the Austrian premier came too late
| to affect the market
Corn, like wheat, had the highest
close yet this season. The late upturn
in wheat favored the bulls and SO too
did heavy shipments from here. Oats
showed some Independent strength. I'm
ports for the day were $4,000 bushels,
as against 10000 bushels a year ago.
Higher quotations on hogs and grain
| sent up deliveries of provisions sharply.
Lard especially was in demand from
