New orleans. November S.--After a good advance in early trading today on the small ginning figures, cotton fell oh sharply under the news of Russian up- heaval, which combined with tho ltai- ian situation made for political uneasi- ness, Wide declines in stock market in creased the pressure on cotton. The ad- vance carried prices Al to H points above yesterdays close, the reaction amounted to 72 to 74 points half hour before the close, the most active months standing 20 to g points under yesterdays last quota tions. In the face of decline, spots were quoted 25 points higher, at 2763c for mid- ding, which compared with 2s.15c ah tse lowest price for December The effect or political news was entirely sentimental.
 Changes In the Russian government and even i'll the policies of that country can hardly have any direct effect on cotton. The census bureau said that to end oL October there were ginned 7,15o,2o4, against s,s2S,893 to same time last year, and 7,378,8sS to same date two years ago. Ginning for period was 1.543,0o0 bales, against 1.321,000 last year, and l,61l,oVo two years ago. Average expectations were for a total ginning of about 7,25o,Oo0 bales We cannot help feeling that the ginning returns are complete conf1rna- ton of short crop ideas. and that, despite these temporary reactions, the market ultimately VIII SCH at HisAct iOs 'hs.t have yet been seen.-Shepard and CHUCK.
 New York-Italian and Russian news IS important, but by no means overWhelm- ing, and indeed hardly in 1t with the pact we have made with Japan so far as this country is concerned. Everything points to new peace drive by Berlin, which, of course, will fail, and then, if the hammer on the western front continues, we may see a climax on the war vastly sooner than generally expected.

EARLY ADVANCE IS
 FOLLOWED BY BREAK
Foreign Complications and Large Southern Selling of Spots Occupy Boards
 ton Boards

New York, November s.--A sharp early advance on bullish ginning fig ures was followed by violent break in the cotton market today with the tone very much unsettled during the afternoon, owing to the unfavorable view of political developments in Rus sia. After selling at 27.17c, January declined to 2645c and closed at 26.7oc with the general list closing steady net points higher to points lower.
 Tho market opened steady an ad- vance of to IS points on the census report showing 7,15o,254 bales ginned prior to November 1, against s,S2S,Ss3 last year and 7.S7s.ss5 two years ago. The trade had anticipated report Of about 7,250,ooo bales. and the smaller ginning indicated for the last period, evidently served to increase confidence in the smaller estimates of the crop. Trade interests were active buyers and there was covering on the advance, which carried the active months about 46 to 49 points net higher during the middle of the morning, with Decemb CT selling at 27.86c, and March at 26.7Sc. There was increased southern selling around these figures which checked the upward movement but offerings were we'll absorbed and the tone steady until receipt of press advices report ing that the Kerensky government had been deposed. The sharp break in the stock market increased nervousness in cotton, and there was active selling for Wall street and local account. For a time prices broke rapidly. December selling off to 27.17c. and March to 26.02c or about 20 to 28 points under last nights closing figures. Tho mar ket then steadied on the bullish aver age of southern spot news and rather more optimistic view of the Italian sit- uation, with last prices showing ral- lies of 20 or 25 points from the lowest. The gnning figures were considered as supporting crop estimates of around 10. .750,000 bales, excluding linters.

New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, November S.-Buiges in the early trading in cotton here today were succeeded by slunaps later and the trading at the decline was more sensa- tional than the trading at the advance. The small ginning returns caused the inl- provenent in values and the Russian news resulted in the reaction. Net changes for the day were insignificant, active months standing on the close 1 points higher to ii points lower than yes- terday's last prices.
 The census bureau report of 7,150,2o4 bales ginned to November l, was smaller than expected and prices rose from the opening, the advance being maintained until trading months were il to H points above yesterdays close. Just when the market looked strongest reports of the Petrograd uprising reached the ring and there was sharp break which was not checked until prices were 72 to 74 points down from the topmost levels. A steadier feeling developed toward the end, and the greater part of the net decline was re- covered. At the lowest of the session, prices were 20 to g points under yester- days final figures.
 The effect of the political news was chiefly sentimental, expecta tions were that the ginning figures would be at least 7,250.000. and when they came be- low that. bullish traders considered that small crop claims were confirmed. Spot prices were raised 25 points to 27.63c for middling in the face of the decline in con- tracts.

Over S. R. Stewart & Co.'s Wire


 New York, November Son the basis of the 1915 crop today's figures indicate a crop in the neighborhood Of lo,lV,oU to 1o9OO,O00 bales, but some authorities think that in view of extreme lateness or cne crop in the northern sections or the belt the next ginning report VIII snow an improvement and that the yield Will equal at least 100000 bales.
 The report of the overthrow of the Nus- sian government had depressing enect on the market and resulted in wave Of liquidation and withdrawal of support from the bull side with the result that besides losing all the carly gain values showed net loss of 10 to 15 points from the close last night In view Of the un- settled political situation abroad ana continued apathy on the part of traders to buy, we still think that 1t is inad- viss.ble to make purchases at this time, and should any further unfavorable de- veloprnents occur to shake the confi- dence of speculative holders of spots in the south, they are likely to ind a scarcity of buyers.-E. r. Hutton & Co.
 New Orleans.--Active market with buy ing orders exceeding the selling for present. Ginning smaller than expected, and there is better feeling over politics and action of stock market.-Kofler.
 New York.-The majority of active fn- terests in Wall street were confidently builish in market opinions after the close yesterday and 1t was insisted by many that the market had turned and that fur ther advances will be made in many stocks. There were some who thought that recessions of 2 or 3 points from high levels might occur but they said these recessions would be simply naturally a bull ment.--F'inancial News.
 New York.--I,iquidation in stocks again in evidence It is not particularly heavy in the active issues. but support is lack ing. Elimination of shorts with ycster- day's rally makes the technical posi- ton weak. See no hope for sustained rallies as yet.-Thompson & Mckinnon.

Hvbbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, November S.-Actingr under the impetus of normal conditions as shown by the small ginners' report, which indicates a crop smaller than an- ticipated, the market advanced half a cent a pound. Then came the news of the upheaval in Russia, the consequent depression in financial circles, bringing about running decline of some 70 points, accompanied by q very uneasy feeling. These troubles through which Russia is passing are analogous to those of the French revolution in fact, they seem advancing through almost parallel lines. We believe the outcome will be the same in the end. whenever that will come. The weakness in the market Is due to fear that the ex- ports Of cotton may be further checked and that the holders in the south may wish to sell in the midst Of all this con fusion. There is not any more cotton, the fear is there may be fewer buyers. So strong is the actual situation in cotton that the market was above last evening, although the foreign situation shows no improvement.

GRAIN PIT TAKESA
 SETBACK IN VALUES
Overthrow of Kerensky Looms Up as Main Factor.
 Oats Hold Firm

Chicago. November s.--Corn under went a decided setback In value today largely as a result of Kerensky's over throw and of Russian peace talk. The market closed nervous. at losses of 1 1aG to 2%c net with December s1.16T and May $1.12 to SLIPS. Oats declined 3s9Nc to ssc. Provisions gained zoe to 55c.
 Although serious weakness did not develop in the corn market until an- nouncement of the sensational news from Petrograd, prices had neverthe- less. from the outset. been tending downgrade. Unduly optimistic reckon ings as to the government crop report counted in favor of the bears, and so, too, did signs that heavy marketing of soft corn might soon be looked for. especially as mild weather seemed likely to continue for several days. Whatever chance there was for rally disappeared when the stock market be- ban to break and attention hero turned chiefly to possible bearings of the Rus sian upheaval. For the rest of the day. the control of the pit lay almost wholly in the hands of sellers.
 Oats held relatively firm. owing to the fact that arrivals were light. corn having preference in the railway move ment of crops.
 Buying that was credited to packers led to sharp upturn in the provision market. Realizing sales later nuIliffed part of the advance.

The opening was unchanged to points higher on a moderate demand. which seemed to be based largely upon apprehension that freight room would be- come scarcer. Later offerings increased somewhat as result of the Russian news, but there appeared to be feel ing around the ring that the situation in Russia and Italy might increase the difficulty of importation. This prob ably served to hold sellers in check and fluctuations were narrow around 7.4sc to 7.45c for March and 7.7Sc to 7.S0c for July The close was net unchanged to
