The government crop report made the corn crop much larger and oats much smaller than private reports and what trade expected. On it's face it was considered as bearish on corn and oats, as indicated record yields Despite large supplies in the interior, holding at primary markets and all leading points of accumulation are small and the ab- sence of pressure of cash grain Is a striking feature of the trade. A general disposition to sell short on bulges ex- istS among coarse grain traders. Opin- ion Is the grain market will work lower Herald.

 Profit-Taking Sells Cotton Off
By c. F. AVERY

Practically the same conditions pre- vailed in the stock market as on Mon day, with the exception of a shifting of the field of bear activity or liquidation, which ever it may be. It is quite likely that 1t is liquidation and the excuse of- fered a few days ago that it was selling of collateral securities which were back of foreign loans made early in the war, seems the most plausible one.
 The oils, public utilities, tobaccos and stocks of such kind were the center Of activity and the declines in these stocks had its inevitable effect on others. There was some resistance shown by standard issues, but they finally yielded to the

COTTON BULLS TAKE PROFITS
Early Bulge of 5Q>Points Is Regarded as DiscOunting
 Frost Damage

New York, October 9.-The killing tenn pcratures reported in the southwest caused a further sharp advance in the cotton market at the opening today. with December contracts selling at 27.1oc or E per bale above last nights close This advance on top of yesterdays big movement attracted heavy realizing as a result of which December sold off to 2e 5Sc in the late trading. and closed at 26.63c, with the general list closing steady at net advance of to B points. vance of 53 to 70 points, with January selling at 26.95c and March at 27.@c, on the call. Profit taking was active and reactionary sentiment was encouraged early by prospects, for gradually rising temperatures in the belt, while there also appeared to be a feeling that the early reports of cold weather in the south- west might prove exaggerated. There were reaction of 45 to 50 points from the before midday in consequence. but the detailed weather report showed quite as severe weather in the southwest as fore ca sted and the market steadied up again early in the afternoon. The buying of the second bulge was not as active or aggressive as previously, however, ana the market eased off again in the late trading under continued realizing com bined with selling by some of the local spot people. January reacted to 26.5tc, and March to 26.40c, with the close few points up from the lowest of finai srurt of covering. Freezing tempera- lures were reported about half the sta tions in Oklahoma and Arkansas, with frost extending into Texas. and with few points reporting temperatures of S2 degrees or under in Texas and Missis- sippi These advices created strong impression around the ring here that further scaling down of crop estimates would be necessary before 1t was felt that later advices would be required to determine the actual extent of dam age.

SPECIAL STOCKS
 AFFECT REST LIST Public Utilities, Oils, Tobac- cos InOculate Rails With
 Their Weakness

New York, october s-Short selling and liquidation again exerted an unfa- vorable influence on the stock market today, causing various issues to decline to new minimums for the current move these quotations also represented low est levels of recent years.
 Apart from the increasing bearishness of large trading element, nothing tam gible developed to explain the further reaction.
 Seasoned stocks offered some resist ance to pressure, United States Steel and Union Pacific rallying briskly on the temporary improvement manifested at midday, but losing ground again on the wider and more extensive offerings or the last hour. United States Steel re- covered 11a points to 1o6A and Union Pacific IF, but both went down at the end. Steel fell to 1045s or within point of its lowest price of recent months and closed at 1o5A, off A on the day.
 Utilities, oils, tobaccos and few other specialties suffered the greatest losses People's Gas added points to yester- days decline of 5, Ohio Gas lost 5A. Texas Company yielded 8 points and United Ci- gars more than 3 points. Coppers. dis- tilling issues and minor rails suffered reyersals of 1 to points. Final prices showed no appreciable improvement.
 Promise of easier money was fulfllieo' both call and time rates again relaxing the latter only for the shorter periods.

rise of 50 to s2 points. following de- tailed official reports and private re- ports of light to heavy frosts in some sections of the belt and killing frosts and freezing in others. Builish traders claimed immense damage had been done to unopened bolls in the more northern portions of the belt, but it was evident yesterdays advance had gone far to dis count conditions in the interior. After the first bulge the market made little show of strength, but gradually fell orr under the heavy offerings from satis- fled longs. The market was wholly eather affair

less in such market and trading should be confined to cash transactions for the strong box.
 Apparently the early bulge of 50 points in the cotton market added to the big advance of Monday about discounted whatever damage was done by the frost Another factor, which no doubt influ- enced many to take their profits was Hoover's action in stopping future trad ing in cotton seed oil. There is no ques- tion whatever that much damage was done by the frost, but the first reports are always exaggerated and there ap- pears to be too much unanimity on the bull side for healthy technical position, and a further reaction would put the market in better shape for ultimately higher prices than have yet been seen.

(By Campbell's wire.)


 Cold <sather with frost and freezing. materiaAzed over the belt to about the extent expected over night, possibly be- ing more severe in some sections than anticipated.
 It was apparent to considerable ex- tent the gains of yesterday discounted the weather over the belt. Heavy realiz- ing by longs came in on the upturn and gradually the gain was pared down until in the early afternoon 1t amounted to only to g points.
 Tomorow's weekly weather reports iron, the government probably will be cast along very builish lines. hence We do not believe the reaction can go very far at present.
 At the same time reactions are to be ex- pected as the market works higher, and should be welcomed. for they keep the technical position healthy and provide good places for new purchases.
 The reaction continued until the easiest months were 1 to points under the last prices of yesterday. The close was at a net advance of 5 to 12 points.

Clark's Letter

(By SteWartS Wife.)
 There was no political news of impor- tance. Under the first impulse of frost news1and frost buying the market opened 40 to 50 points higher, which, however, at tracted good deal of realizing and prices soon showed reaction of 70 points. The fact that the cold weather was limited to only part of the belt; that it had been anticipated yesterday; that the array of sensational crop influ- ences has about had it's play, and that surrounding conditions are satisfactory prompted a calmer feeling at 26 cents and a tendency to realize for possible re- actions.
 The weekly government crop report to- morrow Is expected to be bullish.
 Baltimore advises plus correction of 7757 bales exported to September 30.
 Spots are firmly held. but the demand is rather quiet

Clevenberg's Letter

Liverpool was the most prominent buyer during the morning, and Mitchell took considerable of the offerings. Riordan was a buyer. The setback appeared to be chiefly profit taking, although there was some professional selling in expecta- ton of warmer weather and on the idea that the market had discounted much of the reaction in yield due to the frost Dallas said exporters were good buyers Sentiment locally turned quite reaction ary today, and while former bulls still expect 03 cents, they think the market is due for further downward reaction.

 Hutton's Stock Letter
 New York, October 9.-The financial writers have almost to man been writ ing against the short interest in the mar ket. and yet today those which are strong are those which people have been selling short St. Paul broke 1ss because nobody was short of 1t, and at the same time the common rallied al because there was quite a large short interest in 1t. We see the same thing in Steel While it has gone down, it has been much less than other stocks .Coppers and many of the fancy stocks have had tremendous declines because when the longs start to Sell out they find no one to buy the stock except some one else, who wishes to take the same side of the market. Liquidation continues It has been brought about by high money rates, realization that we are at war and by readjustment of securities on account of the new bond issue. When this Is over we will have a better market. Railroads continue strong. There is evidence Of buying in Northern Pacific that is long buying and not short covering. We be- lieved that the short interest in New Haven is smaller now than 1t has been at any time since it broke through 80.

Frost expected over a large portion of western belt last night must have causedi severe damage. The advance of yester- day was based on the expectation of this frost so at the opening of the market there was heavy profit taking The frost is regarded as a very serious matter by the trade, and it's effect at lower prices would have been more marked than it was today. The sales of this morning were absorbed by new buyers who thought the spinners would enter the market as soon as they appreciated the extent of the damage. Reactions were due to further profit taking the short interest has been eliminated on the long continued advances.
