MORE BAD WEATHER IN THE COTTON BELT
Leads to an Early Advance Which Is Soon LOst-Rise
 on Ginning Forecast

New York, october 1s.-There was a good deal of realizing in the cotton market today but selling otherwise was held in check by unfavorable weather prospects and prices made generally steady showing. After selling at N.zoc early, December advanced to N.6Oc, re- acted to 273 3Sc and closed at 275lc, With the general list closing steady at net advance of to 90 points. The more ac- tive months showed net gains of from r to 27 points.
 The market opened steady at de- cline of points on october, but gener- ally to IS points higher on buying by trade interests and Liverpool. The sell ing movement in progress at the close yesterday was renewed, however, with January soon selling back to 26.S9c and March to 26.69c, or about net unchanged to points lower. Offerings then seemed to have been pretty well absorbed and the market turned firmer on the outlook for another cold snap in the belt.
 Local map readers said they thought temperatures would be lower and that freezing weather would occur over & wider area than on the cold snaps of last week and the western belt fore cast indicated that the drop in tempera- lures might be preceded or accompanied by rain.
 There was also a report around the ring that the Italian government had ar- ranged to take 70,000 bales of American cotton monthly, or S40,00O for the sea- son, compared with 642,000 last season. Trade interests continued good buyers of December and January, while there was covering by early sellers for re- action, but the demand tapered on around 27.22c for January and 27.02c Tor March. Reactionary sentiment then be- came more general and there were set backs of some P to 25 points, but the market stiffened up again in the late trading on rumors of bullish private gin ming returns and reports that cyclone had caused damage in Cuba and the Isle of Pines.

GRAIN GOSSIP

Chicago-Food Administrator Hoov-
 CT practically told number of
 grain men from different parts of the country, who conferred with him in Washington Monday, that they were
 sitting on a keg of powder that might explode at any time when the bulls in
 corn and provisions get too enthusias- tic and advance prices out of reason, on the bears become too aggressive and depress prices unduly, said an eastern grain man who is in position to know what MT. Hoover is doing. Those In control of the leading ex- changes throughout the country realize
 the perilousness of the situation and are said to be planning an appeal for cooperation of the large spectators working on both sides of the market to reduce their holdings, so that they will not advance or depress values to an extent that will cause MT. Hoover to take drastic action.-Herald. Chicago-Another item on the ticker confirms newspaper report from MT. Hoover denying an intention to en- force 10-cent hogs. Hoover wires "We will take no step to jeopardize live stock products All our powers will be used to keep prices at a figure which the United States government and the allied governments will buy"-Wagner. Ware & Leland-The large supply of corn in prospect from the new crop will eventually bring about further decline in values.
 1 Thompson-Believe oats market will continue to recover from depressions, although we are unable to discover any good reason for expecting sus- | tained advances
 l Logan-Believe the tendency of corn
 market will continue upward for the 1 time being.
 1 Lamson-The price of new corn crop deliveries seem high enough. 1 B. F. Co-Believe the corn market
 has had enough upward reaction, and
 that further advances will encounter
 heavy outside selling pressure. 1 Chicago-Any upturn in corn and oats should bring selling.
 1 United States agents abroad believe
 the war will last another year. The seaboard reported 30O,O00 bushels of oats for export--Wagner. l Chicago-Sales of No corn just
 made is 3 cents lower than yesterdays close.-Bab cock
 Chicago-Export bids for oats now
 61s cents over December f. o. b. sea
 board, which is asc better than week ago. Domestic demand is improving. Babcock.

TEMPORARY SLUMP
 IN CORN MARKET
Followed by Rally on Bullish Construction. of Food
 Control Advices

Chicago. October 1s.-Bullish construc- tons put on announcements from the food administrator touching corn and hog values, rallied the corn and pro- visions market today after early de- clines. Corn closed firm. Ac to ssqslc net higher, with December sl.15H to s1.154s, and May st.11h to s1.11A. Oats gained Aaasc to ss0aac The finish in provisions ranged from 52 cents setback to a rise of 15 cents.
 Predictions of a cold wave tonight were chiefly responsible for temporary downturns which corn prices under went The low temperatures promised seemed to imply that the crop would be more quickly put into good condI- ton for shipment than was likely in the event of continuance of moist warm weather. When attention was di- rected, however. to statements of the food administrator denying that govern ment officials were planning a reduction of hog values to s10 a hundredweight, corn began to ascend. The main reason appeared to be that the untrue reports Of $l0 standard in prospect for hogs had been coupled with talk of an accom- panying probable slash of corn prices to $l a bushel.
 Export demand lifted oats
 Sharp declines in the hog market weakened provisions at first. Later de- mand broadened from packers and sea- board interests, influenced apparently by the published views of the food admin istrator.

SHORTS IN STOCKS
 ARE RUN 10 COVER
Western Interests Said to Be Heavy Buyers-Southern
 Railroads Are Strong

Now York, October 1S.-Stocks moved forward in convincing fashion today, despite the further weakness shown by isolated issues, notably coppers. Much of the activity centered around the war group, particularly steels, at extreme gains of to points,
 The advance was materially aided not only by extensive short covering, but also by heavy buying from commission, houses who were reported to be acting {, for western interests. There were vague rumors of early developments at Wash ington which are expected to rebound to the advantage of several of the munitions companies now fulfilling large contracts for the home government and it's allies.
 Rails shared in the rise, though less substantially than industrials and equip ments. Low grade or reorganized trans portation issues were more prominent than usual, the steady accumulation of Southern railway common and preferred, Rock Island, Missouri Pacific and other western and southern lines being accom- panied by to 11a point advances.
 United States Steel did not get into the general stride until the latter part of the session, when it rose to 105 and closed at 1047s, a net gain of 25s points. Beth : lehem Steels were next in favor, the new stock rising to S01a points on a very large turnover, and the old issue ad vancing 6A to S0a4.
 Utah Copper's further decline to 775s with later recovery, acted as drag on the metals, but shippings, tobaccos, oils, motors and sugars registered net ad- vances of 2 to points.
 Bonds were irregular on lighter offer ings. Liberty 3hs changed hands at 99.70 to 99.74. Total sales, par value, were $4,525,000.
 United States bonds (o1d issues) were unchanged on call, coupon 3's losing l per cent on one sale.

New York Futures
New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, October 1s.-Small ad- vances were recorded in the cotton mar ket today, the main influence being the cold wave threatening the belt. Late in the day the market firmed up on the ru- nor that private bureau was in re- ceipt of figures showing that 1,S0O,UVU bales less were ginned to the close of business yesterday than during the same period last year. During the greater part of the session the ring was quiet, but the tone was steady.
 Opening at the rise, prices gradually improved until they were 24 to 3l points over yesterdays close, buying being based principally on the forecast ot freezing weather in the northern sec tions of the western belt tonight. Bull fish views regarding the weather slt- uation were intensified by the forecast of rains for the eastern belt to be fol- lowed by 8 drop in temperatures, caus- ing bullish traders to forecast a wet freeze for the northern section of the eastern belt. Realizing of profits on the long side became general at the advance and the gain was pared down until the trading months were only to 3 points above yesterdays close. There was a swift rise in the afternoon on the g1n- ming forecast, but toward the close profit taking was again a factor, and the net results on the close were gain of to 19 points.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1917-10-19


 The better tone in stocks manifested the past few days was still in evidence yesterday. Western interests. which is taken to mean the Chicago grain crowd. who recently took the cotton market out or the hands of the New Workers and pushed the price of the staple to high levels, were heavy buyers, and no doubt will do the same thing to the stock market as they did with cotton.
 However. the time does not seem pro- pitious for any extreme advance until the liberty loan is out of the way. The Chicago crowd have mastered the first principle of speculation, which is that the time to buy is when things are cheap. New York, as rule, is like Cammack, who, when asked what he thought of a particularly beautiful moon, replied: Very pretty, but it's entirely too high,
 The average New York attitude is provincial in the extreme. They never

Stocks Primer and Good Tone Shown; Cotton Strong on Weather and Crop

 do gauge the mind of the rest
 of the United States accurately. The
 trouble is their horizon is bounded by
 the confines of Manhattan Island, and
 their perspective is consequently re-
 stricted.
 Cotton, after the buying orders in
 fluenced by the weather map on the call were filled, eased off on profit taking and some liquidation of long cotton. This selling was attributed to the rumors from Texas that there was big interior holding movement that would later be- come congestion at the ports. If Weld s advices, which were confirmed by Solari & Douglass Texas traveller, are true, that the prospect IS for only a 30OO, 0u0
 bale crop for that state, the holding movement must exist in the fertile im- agination of the bears who are hard put to fill the remainder of their October commitments. Technical conditions may cause wide swings downward in a mar ket of such broad proportions, and they must be taken into the calculations of spectators. These, however, do not Tn any way effect the ultimate trend, which
 IS toward much higher level.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

Rainy weather, to be followed by a cold wave, is moving toward the cot ton belt. Under this influence the mar ket has advanced slowly over 27 cents with the local trade indisposed to fol- low the advance because they feared that the cotton in the south which has been bought away above these prices might at any moment be hedged in large quantities. Speculative buying has been on limited scale, while spin- ners have absorbed the profit taking which has been in progress during the day. It is reported that the national ginners report shows sharp falling off from last year, rumor had it off near ly 30 per cent. The high prices checks buying demand

Shepard & Gluck's Letter
(By Campbeil's Wire.)

(by CdmpDellS Wlr6.)
 New Orleans, October 1S-The market opened at an advance, stood at it's best "A to 31 points up but in the early after noon was only l to points up. This Is the third cold snap in 10 days, remark able record for this time of year. and temperatures have been low enough to do enormous damage, the full extent ot which the trade does not yet apparently realize Within short time, crop estt- mates from expert observers in the belt will begin to reflect the damage done, and we do not believe it wise to sell the ma rket short, in view of this possibility. The spot demand continues of encour- agingly large proportions, while there is no pressure to sell in any quarter. The present combination of circumstances makes for very strong situation and one which we are confident will lead to higher market We continue to ad- wise buying on all recessions.
 The rumor that national ginners' re- turns to last night indicated 1,S00,00O bales less ginned than during the same period last year put the market back to the highest levels again. The close showed net gains of to 19 points.
