STOCK SLAUGHTER
 HAS NO LET-UP
Wave After Wave of Selling Sends Stocks to New Lows
 Regardless of Values

New York, October 11.--Investment stocks. principally rails, were again ex- tensively iiquidated in the early stages of today's trading, rallied moderately on the more restrained operations of the midsession and fell away again toward the active close.
 Much of the temporary improvement which favored war stocks and specialties more than standard issues, was ascribed to short covering that faction evidently deeming 1t advisable to take profits and otherwise reduce commitments over the Approaching holidays. Renewal of pres sure in the last hour was doubtless i'm pelled, however, by the rather meager buying power or lack of public inquiry.
 Early declines carried St. Paul com mon and preferred and Baltimore and Ohio common and preferred to new low records at extreme recessions of to 3A points. Union Pacific, Canadian Pacific, Northern Pacific, Great Northern, Chi cago and Northwestern. Reading, Nor folk and Western and New York Central BE points to lowest quotations of the year or for a much longer period.
 Weakness in this important division again affected every other branch of the market, notably prominent industriais, in which early tendencies were mainly toward betterment gains of to points soon being effaced.
 United States Steel rallied from its low of 101% to 104A, but closed at 1o29s unchanged on the day. Other steels and equipments and specialties also reversed ~J- -t- ATf Art fy, O q or nominal gains. Shippings showed un- deriving strength, likewise the motor Issues.

FEAR OF FROST
 OVER HOLIDAYS
Puts Cotton Market Up. Better Conditions-Peace
 Rum0rs Help

New York, October 11.-Apprehensions that further frosts would occur in the belt before the reopening of the mar ket on Monday morning caused a sharp advance in the cotton market today. December contracts sold up to 2e.7oc, or 90 points above last nights closing, and closed at 26.50c with the general list closing irregular at a net gain of 70 to S5 points.
 The reactionary sediment which had been noted on the decline of yesterday was in evidence during the morning. The market opened firm at decline of 4 points on October but generally 20 to 2s points higher, and active months sold "A to 29 points above last nights closing figures right after the call. This re- flected covering and trade buying of near months, but there was heavy real izing or liquidation and prices soon turned easier with December selling off to 2595c and January to 25.62c during the middle of the morning. The decline was checked at this level by the pubi- cation of the western belt forecast for cooler weather with frost in Oklahoma. and the buying was stimulated later by the detailed reports showing light to killing frosts at few points in Missis- sippi, Alabama and Tennessee. The sell ing on the decline of yesterday and the early setback, appeared to leave com paratively few contacts offering around the ring, and for time prices advanced rapidly, until January reached 2S 48c and March 2e40c in the late trading, with the general list showing a net advance of 70 to 90 points. The close was few points off from the best under realizing Trade interests were good buyers at times during the day and it was reported that spinners were fixing prices, While there were rumors of buying by 9 French commission. There was talk Of hedge selling early, also of an easier spot basis in the south, but the bulk of the days selling was attributed to realizing.

New Orleans, OcIoper 1.-The ten. dency in coLLon here today was toward higner levels on adverse weather condl- tons over the belt and reports of 9 strong spot situation in the interior. There were periods of depression, due chiefly to realizlng on profits on long cotton, this seiuns being inspired by the triple holidays following the session to- day.

 Around the opening the market was "A to z points up on cold weather indicated by the weather map in several DOT tions of the belt and signs Of more cold to come during the holidays.

GRAIN GOSSIP

Herald-The conference on maximum corn prices between the various grain ex- changes is to be held here at D. m. to- day. It is the general impression among those who keep close to the situation that no change in maximum will be made. 1t is regarded as best for the interest Of the exchanges to keep maximums on This is favored by the food administra- tors and by government officials. It is believed that by minimizing speculation on the bull side the exchanges will not be interfered with in trading in corn and oats. It Is the belief of those in close touch with the food administration that the new order to be issued from Wash ington relates more to control of cereal foods than to corn and oats trading.
 Pressure from leading shorts has in- creased as prices decline, but on the big break in corn yesterday, there was evil dence of several covering at good prof. it's, while the largest holders are said to have let go.
 Ware & Leland: The prospective corn crop is so large that it is probable it will be merchandised at a lower level. Believe prospects for oats crop will bring further decline.
 Lamson: Present political Indications do not warrant buying corn on the theory that the war will continue indefin- itely.
 Harris w. & Co.,: Hog ana products both look too high.
 Simons, Day & Co.,: Look for a larger volume of cash oats hedging sales.
 Logan & Bryan: Liquidation might cause a drastic decline in provisions. Yesterdays break in corn the first step in the adjustment that walks hand in hand with abundance when the latter fol- lows scarcity.
 Corn market takes selling poorly. Shorts oar II uf ufila stern hOuSaq have been persistent sellers of May Babcock.
 Corn action is rapid with crowd badly mixed. Liquidation seems ended. Some rally is not unlikely. but there is nothing to indicate important advance.-Babcock

Frenzied Selling Features Stocks;
 Cotton Market Has Better Tone
By c. F. AVERY

Continued frenzied selling of all kinds of stocks today marked the close of bear week. Steel touched 1Ol% at one time, but rallied and closed at 1027s. Steels. oils. all kinds of equipments, public utilities and stocks which would be affected directly or indirectly by peace were weakest United States Steel made about s1 per share recovery and shipping shares rallied in the final wind-up. Rail road shares had their day of weakness and while small gains were made from the lowest. the recoveries were not as great as in the industrials.
 The market defies analysis and there is but one explanation that explains. and
The Birmingham age-herald., 1917-10-12

that is peace, and it is my firm belief this will be found to be the true one.
 Cotton showed a better tone and the market showed indications that the re- cent liquidation had improved the tech nical position greatly and a forecast for cold weather and probable freezing temperatures over the triple holiday, to- gether with persistent buying of the De- cember option, said to be for McFadden, sent shorts to cover and resulted in material gain for the day. Peace should be big bull factor. The continent Is potential buying power of around 2,OOO,oW bales of cotton to replenish exhausted stocks. This buying power would easily send cotton to better than 90 cents.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, October u.-(Speciai)-Buy ing orders from English and American sninners were present this morning, ab- sorbing slowly the offerings of the room traders who expected the liquidation by western holders to continue. It did not continue, as the market slowly ad- vanced on small transactions some oo points. So early frost, with one ex- ception, the earliest which can be re- called, has changed the outlook. If the damage is as severe as advices now be- ing received are correct. There is no record of three successive short crops, there have frequently been two snort crops. but never three, so the trade IS without precedent as to the course or prices, especially as the present level of values is higher than that at when any crop has been distributed. Probably the demand from spinners for the past three days is due to this fact. Many orders to buy on the close caused great confusion, as sellers were few when buy ars connected with each other at from 70 to 90 points over yesterday

CIark's Letter

(By SteWarl WITtJ
 Our market opened from to 20 up and was well sustained for awhile at gam of 20 points all araund. The underlying impulse 10 this buying was that the idea of higher cotton is general and deep seated and declines, even if they are Of larger proportions. are regarded as re- actions rather than a definite trend. However, a long period of bullish sen sationalism has established an unfavor- able technical situation which is throw ing out limits at intervals. Thus the market dropped suddenly from 25.05c for December 10 2s77c after a brief suspense in early support. We are not at the practical part of the season where the manner of distribution and care of the crop is the prime factor and sensational stimulants are scarcer.

Feature was the steady demand all day for December by spot people. Much of the buying was said to be on cover ing of hedges againost sales of spots in the south. The strength drove profess sional shorts to cover who sold freely yesterday and Tuesday. The selling was chiefly by Wall street and western houses. There was some covering on feafs of another frost scare next week. Purchases on sharp setbacks of about cent looked to be the safe play. The ring was full of orders to buy on close and there was little for sale.
