COTTON REACHES
 NEW HIGH LEVEL
Heavy Realizing Checked Upward Tendency and
 Reaction Followed

New Orleans, October 2.-Pressure to buy forced the cotton market to new high levels for the season today, fol- lowing the bureau reports on ginning and condition. At the highest the most active months were at net gain of 9 to 92 points, or over $4.5O a bale. With the exception of October, which appeared to be about liquidated, quota tions were the highest ever recorded before in the fall of the year
 For while it was a runaway mar ket but heavy realizing from the long side finally checked the upward ten dency and caused a moderate reaction. The close was at net gain of GA to CT points.
 The opening was at the advance and prices rose 50 points in the early trad ing, in the face of the largest ginning ever known to September 25. The fig ures of 4,062,991 bales, however, were considerably under general expecta- ltions and much buying resulted. Also there was much buying from traders who expected a bullish condition re- port. The condition figures of 563 per cent of the normal were well under the average of expectations and the fact that they were by far the lowest esti- mated on September 25, brought forth la great volume of buying, much of which came from interior sources. For a while brokers had difficulty in hand ling the business which poured in on them. Prices mounted swiftly until the March option stood at 1886.
 The market held steady feeling even after the rise was checked, espe- Fcially after the spot market was quoted |50 points up to Is cents for middling.

Fairchild & Co.'s Letter

New York, Octoer 2-(Special. General expectation favSred extremely heavy ginning figures today and bull lsh condition report. Fate, however, decreed that the ginning of 4,O62, 900 bales was smaller than the trade as a whole, looked for, while the condition Of 56.3 was below the general esti- mate.
 Big buying was in evidence from the opening. the market took enormous liquidation. hesitated, rallied. worked into the highest level of the year. de- clined. recovered and finished the most sensational day of the season at de- clines from the mornings early highs ranging from 28 to 33 points.
 Today's conditions figures indicated a crop of under 12.O00,OO0 bales, ex- elusive of linters. The worlds con- sumption will inevitably be far great CT than this. What cotton can do under such circumstances does not permit of any question of doubt.
 It seems the only requisites required to make money on the long side of cotton this year are sufficient margin and patience. In our letter of Saturday week. we stated 17-cent cotton was nearer than most people imagined January, March, May and July crossed 17 cents today. Reactions may come from time to time. but we believe still higher prices are before us.
 Today's reports assure the independ- ence of the south. The farmer is the autocrat this year. It looks as though the spinner would have to pay prices for the actual commensurate with prices at which he is selling cotton goods.
 Cotton oil futures advanced moder- ately today. Lard was easier. Refiners were selling oil at the close. We think

STOCK MARKET CONTINUES ACTIVE Optimism Prevalent and Earning Statements Are

New York, October 2.-The stock mar ket today entered upon the fourth quar- Ter of the year with every indication of

Dealings again attained the impressive total of 1,050 GOO shares put very large proportion of the turn over occurred in the first and final hours. the intermediate stage being marked by relative dullness and uncertainty. There was nothing in the general news t over the weekend to cause any diminu- uon Of the optimism so long prevalent in speculative circles. On the contrary nu- merous additional statements of earnings submitted by railroads and industrial companies were of the nose encouraging character, these, with scarcely an ex- ception, showing large gains for the fiscal year or in excess of correspondng periods of 1915.

COTTON ADVANCES
 S4.5O PER BALE
Market Was SensatiOnally Active, Representing Rapid
 Bull Movement

New York. October 2-The cotton mar ket was sensationally active and ex- cited today with the advance of fully s4.5o per bale from Saturdays closing figures. representing one Of the most rapid bull movements in the history of the trade. January contracts sold at r .03c, or 9S points above the final quota ton of last week, and closed at 16.75c, with the general list closing steady at a net advance of 57 to 6 points
 The market opened firm at an advance of to g points, The ceusus report showing 4,c6299l bales ginned prior to September 25, established a new high record, and it was figured by local sta tisticians that on the basis of the largest per cent of the crop ever ginned pre- viously to the date in question, it would point to a yield materially in excess of recent figures. The trade however had been expecting even higher ginning re- turns and the buying movement was active and excited from the very start It looked as though a good many opera tors had been procrastinating purchases in the hope that the ginning figures would give them a better buying basis and there seemed to be a general ef- fort to buy before the government con- dition report was published at II o'clock.
 At any rate, the market worked some 75 to 80 points above Saturdays finals before the crop figures were issued and the low condition reported further stim- ulated demand. December contracts sold up to 169sc and March to +. PC, with the general list showing a net advance of about % to s3 points. Realizing was very heavy around the lie level, while there was also a good deal of southern selling here as the advance in contracts had probably outstripped the interior markets and there were reactions of some S5 to 40 points from the best. Of- ferings were very well absorbed on the declines, however, and the market be- came less active during the afternoon with later fluctuations irregular De- cember closed at IS. 66c and March at 16.s2c, or about p to 30 points under the high level of the morning. The con- dition of 56S compared with 5S.5 in the small crop year of 1909 and was inter- preted by the bureau of crop estimates as pointing to a yield of 156.3 pounds per acre, or crop of II, ,637, 900 bales excluding linters, compared with last months indications of II 1,S0000O.

WHEAT ADVANCESON
 BULLISH REPORTS
Foreigners Active Buyers of Cash Wheat and Future
 Delivery

Chicago, October -Emphatically bullish crop adviees from Argentina today made wheat values go higher and higher. The close was strong at 2hc net advance with December at $t.56s and May at 1.55% Corn gained 5s O %c to 1%c and oats asc@kc In provisions the outcome ranged from 45c decline to a rise of SC.
 Drouth ravages in Argentina began to lift the wheat market right from the outset and there was no radical setback at any time during the ses- sion. Especial attention appeared to be given to dispatches from Rosario, the center of the dry district, telling of serious damage from the long con- tinued lack of rain and saying that all crops were suffering. Diminishing re- ceipts at Minneapolis and Duluth counted also against the bears and so too did Liverpool advice of a scar city of offerings from Winnipeg. In- creased world shipments failed to act as an offset. On the contrary, the bulls seemed much encouraged by reports that foreigners were active purchasers both of cash wheat and of future de- liveries.
 Notwithstanding that the United States visible supply total showed an increase of 746.0o0 bushels, the effect on the market was of little advantage to the bears. The reason seemed to be that the enlargement was less than one-sixth as great as at the core spending time last year.
 Corn derived most of its strength from wheat. Fine weather tended at first to ease the market & trifle, but subsequently, was altogether ignored.
 Oats merely reflected the action of other cereals.
 Big receipts of hogs pulled down provisions, January transactions formed the bulk of the business.
 Future quotations were as follows:

A Hard Ideal

From the Washington Star
 "The new idea of patriotism-na- triotism and preparedness-is a hard ideal to reach up to-"
 The speaker was Representative Gardner of Massachusetts. He con tinued:
 "Yes, before this splendid ideal the soft and selfish citizen is like the farm boarder
 "I guess the farmer said to his new boarder from the city. I guess ye won't want to get up very early in the morning, hey?'
 No. by heckr said the city chap with a laugh; I think I'd prefer to sleep late.'
 All right said the farmer. Tn that case. then. we won't have breakfast till a:30 a. m"

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, October .-(Special.)-The sinners returns as given by the census department were less than expected, bringing about an excited opening at So to 40 points advance. The condition re- port was lower than any one looked for though the decrease in the expectation of the total crop was not quite SO large.
 A careful reading of the details Of the report depicts a condition of the crop seldom noted in the history of the trade. Naturally, heavy realizing occurred on the advance, causing reaction. but the close was very steady at 6 points ad- vance.
 The trade thinks the report will confirm buyers of goods in their belief that goods will be higher and that it will induce cotton mills to carry large supplies of cotton because of their ability to sell for forward delivery away into next sum- mer cotton goods on a profitable basis.

Ayery's Letter

nfcAg LtttcI
 The census bureaus ginning report on the opening of our market this morning was a decided surprise. The ginnings up to September 25 were given as 4,062.9g1 bales. The trade was expecting the report to show at least 4.250. 900. The fact that the movement has not been as heavy as 1t was be- lieved 10 have been was a decided bull factor and prices advanced in leaps and bounds until 1t had gained half a cent a pound. or more up to 10 o'clock. the time at which the condition report was made public.
 The latter report was about in line with private reports. showing a de- lterioration for the month of 4.S and indicating a crop of Il. 900, or the yield per acre 1863 pounds.
 There was another sharp advance following the announcement of the condition figures which carried prices to a level of so or 90 points above last weeks close.
 This was too much for two hours trading and was followed by a reac- tion on profit taking. After the ex- cftement was over trading quieted down and prices remained steady. the close being at a net advance of about 60 to 70 points for the day
 There is no question about the bull ish conditions surrounding the cotton market, but we must not overlook the fact that 16is cents Is very high price for cotton and at time when the crop movement is at it's height. it is not unreasonable to expect reactions from time to time and we would ad- wise buying on these dips and realizing whenever it showed a good profit
