LIGHT RECEIPTS
 ADVANCES CORN
Bids to Farmers Not Ac- cepted Indicated-TO Hold
 for Own Price

Chicago. October 5.-Prospects of light receipts for sometime led today to ma terial upturn in the corn market. Prices closed firm. ss9a4c to Nc net higher at Sl ISssG1 .191s December, and sl.16 May. Oats finished unchanged to 1zc up. and provisions at the same as yesterdays finish to BIC advance.
 Strength in corn values developed aft CT the fact became apparent that bids from here to the interior had been ac- cepted to only meager extent. The scantiness of the response was taken to indicate that the farm demand for the feeding of hogs would be increased so as to absorb much of the supply which would be otherwise forthcoming. Under these circumstances moderate decline ing was soon much more than overcome notwithstanding that signs pointed to good weather over Sunday for matur ing late planted corn and that con firmation had been received of the mag nitude of the British victory in Bel gium.
 Oats hardened in sympathy with corn. December delivery of oats Jagged, how ever, owing to apparent complete stop page of buying for export.
 Big purchases of lard and meats for Belgium and Great Britain gave strength to provisions. especially nearby months. It was said 100000 pounds were taken for Belgium alone.
 Future quotations were as follows:

New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans October 5.-Although there was considerable selling pressure on the local cotton market at times today, the tone was steady and prices held at a small net advance most Of the session. Fluctuations were narrower than usual. The net change for the day was a rise of to Is points
 Opening at the advance the market rose to a gain of 35 to 40 points by the middle of the day, moderate buying be- ing encouraged by good spot accounts from the eastern belt, fear of cold weather in the western, and the days fairly large exports. In the early after noon heavy selling came from an ele- ment seeking to bring about reaction, and the market was depressed until 1t stood z to Is points below yesterday s close The greatest activity came to- ward the close when good support was offered The decline was wiped out and replaced by net advance.
 The selling was accompanied by re- ports of an easier spot basis in Texas but this was denied in private telegrams, which claimed farmers were holding for still higher prices. A bullish influence was the report that the government was about to place further huge war orders for cotton cloths.

REVERSE
 RECENT COURSE
Rally Due to Substantial Buying-Industrials Irreg-
 ular-Rails Bu0yant

New York, October 5.-Stocks reversed their recent course today after an early period of indecision, in which some spe- cialties made further material recessions. The rally, which seemed to proceed from a combination of substantial support and short covering, embraced many active issues, but was most effective in the in- vestment division.
 Interests committed to the constructive side of the market professed to derive much encouragement from the expected early adjournment of Congress and an added factor Of favorable import was found in the indications of further re- taxation of money rates. The suggestion of the local federal reserve board to limit loans on commercial paper to four months was in line with the attitude of the main body in Washington.
 Rails rebounded 1 to points, the Pa cifcs, Reading, New York Centhal and St Paul reflecting an especial inquiry. Low grade western and southwestern is- sues, as well as coalers, kept pace with this movement, though in minor measure. Industrials were irregulariy responsive,
 United States Steel assuming it's accus- toned place of prominence on the rise from 105%, yesterdays low quotation, to 1081a, and closing at 108ss, net gain of 21a.
 There was further liquidation of Beth 1ehem Steels, Midvale Steel, Colorado Fuel, oils. tobaccos and utilities, but In general those stocks retrieved much or all of their early reversal on the free buying of the final hour.
 International bonds, including the French municipals, were heavy, other war flotations showing lower trend on wider distribution. Domestic issues were irregular the libertV 31hS varying from 99.76 to 99.S2 Total sales, par value, ag- gregated s3,475000.

POSSIBLE FROST
 IN COTTON BELT
Causes Rally After Weak ness on Selling and Pros .
 poets for Big Receipts

New York, October 5.-The cotton market was less active today and the price movement was very irregular
 An early advance carried December up to 25.69c, but break followed to 25.20c with the close at 25.37c. The general list closed steady. net Is points lower to IA points higher. The market opened steady at decline of 10 points on Oc- tober but generally l to 13 points higher. There was moderate southern selling but offerings from that source seemed to be smaller than expected after yesterdays late reports of an
 easy spot basis, and there was nerv- ousness over the low temperatures re- ported in the northwest. There was cov- ering by yesterdays sellers Tor re- action and a fair demand from houses with Liverpool connections on which the market soon turned firmer, with
 January selling up to 25.50c and March | to 25.57c, or about 39 to Al points net Ihigher, before the end of the morning. Demand then tapered off and the mar ket turned easier under liquidation or realizing local and southern selling. The reaction was accompanied by talk 1 of increased hedge pressure and ex- pectation of heavy receipts on cover ling. Some of the early buying was at- tributed to apprehensions that the low temperatures reported in the north west would work down into the belt over Sunday, but the official forecast
 contained no mention of frost and lm- mediate weather conditions over the | belt were considered fine.
 The weekly statistics showed an in-
 crease of about 51 ,000 bales in the 1 Liverpool stock of American.

Shepard & Gluck's Letter
TRv camnbeIl's Wire

(By CampDellS wire.
 While cotton was steady enough dur the morning session, it reacted in the afternoon to a small net decline. Sell ing appeared to be chiefly of a specu. lative character and based on belief that urgent spot requirements Tor the first half of October were filled.
 A sustaining influence of the morn ing was that the government was about to place further huge war orders for cotton cloths. Shorts also were nervous over the private prediction Of frost tonight and tomorrow night Tor the Waxahachie region of Texas. The official forecast was for dry weather over the belt with lowering tempera- tures but nothing was said about frost. We do not think reactions can go very far and advise purchases on them when they appear.
 The market received support toward the close, which was at a net rise or to 16 points.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1917-10-06

The signs which I pointed out Fri day as indicating the nearness of the bottom in the stock market justified themselves by the upturn and the ap- pearance of a better class of buying and the indications that the big inter ests had allied themselves on the con- structive side. Yesterday was the first time in many days when the news contained anything good to say about the market. Easy money was given as the excuse for the upturn,N but the real reason was the slump had run it's course.
