DECEMBER COTTON
 MAKES NEW RECORD
Trade Interests Were Buy CTS on Decline-Market
 Nervous and Unsettled

New York October 2-The cotton market was nervous and unsettled today with fluctuations irregular. After an early break to 27.6oc, December rallied to 2S.12c, making new high record for the season, but later broke to 27.51c and closed at 27.ssc. The general list closed steady at a net decline of 2 to 45 points. late months showing the maximum losses.
 The market opened at an advance of { points to a decline of points, but almost immediately weakened. There seemed to he quite an accumuiation of southern sell ing orders over the half holiday, while tbere was also liquidation and local sell ing on the report of the census bureau showing 5571,6z4 bales ginned prior to Ootoper lS or rather more than had been foreshadowed by private advices. These figures however, seemed to cause no maternal revision of popular crop ideas, whiie trade interests were buyers on the decline, and after showing net losses or aS to 32 points. prices turned steadier' Early sellers covered on the midday ad- vance while there was also buying on the continued bullish average of spot and weather news
 January rallied from 26.97c to 2737c, and March from 26. 73o to 27.05c, with the gen. eral list selling about 3 to 9 points new higher The market met increased offer ings above yesterdays closing and the nervousness of sentiment semed to be in creased during the afternoon by rumors of German successes on the Italian front. The selling included renewal of offers from southern sources, and for time the market was weak, with January sell ing off to 26 79c and March to 2642c, or 8 to 59 points net lower on active months. Closing prices were few points up from the lowest on covering of trade buying. The last sale of October was at 2ec, or about hc under yesterdays high record.

DEMAND AND SUPPLY
 RULE GRAIN MARKET
Anxiety of Shorts Increased By Scanty Arrivals of
 Corn

Chicago, October 25.-Urgency of de- mand. together with scarcity of sup plies, led to sharp advance today In the corn market. Quotations closed strong at the topmost point of the day, 17s to s3s net higher, with December $1.is% to s1.2o, and May s1.13% to s1.1sss Oats gained Ss to sc. The finish in provis- Ions ranged from soc decline to rise of 75 cents
 Brisk industrial competition for the scanty arrivals of corn. whether old or new, increased from the outset the anS- iety of shorts who were endeavoring to escape further risk on outstanding con tracts. No sign of hurry to sell could be discovered on the part of the farm CTS At the same time pit traders seemed determined to await hedging pressure before becoming aggressive on the bear side. Forecasts of wet weather acted as additional stimulus to the up- sweep of the market, and so, too, did reports that the amount of soft aud damaged corn was becoming more and more of Q serious factor,
 Persistent buying for houses with east ern connection gave firmness to oats
 Provisions averaged decidedly higher, largely owing to the corn bulge. Higher lard quotations at Liverpool and asser- tions that most of the lard on hand here has been sold for shipment tended to uphold the advance.

Shepard & Gluck's Letter

New Orleans. October 25.--None too steady a feeling ruled in cotton today and there were periods of depression which gave the market a reactionary look. The main features in situation were as bullish as ever, but there was more disposition to give news bear ish twist than has been the case for sometime past.
 Thus the census bureau report on ginning to October IT. as unfavorable a showing as could be imagined by all
 except unreasonable bulls, was called
 bearish and considerable selling was
 based on this construction. The total
 output of gins was 5,571,624 running
 bales, counting round as half bales,
 compared with 7.S03,188 to the same date last year and b,70S,730 to the same date two years ago. There never was any question that the ginning would be far below that of last year, hut there was an honest doubt as to whether 1t would be under that Of two ish by biased traders because 1t was in excess of national ginners' esti- mate.
 We feel that we must take the view that the figures were bullish and point to very short crop.
 A total of S1,o00 October notices were issued this morning and notices were quickly stopped October went out at noon. There is. however, still
 some trading in October short notices at high prices. The contract market Is likely to react and probably fre- quently, but cotton Is bound to trade at higher levels than have yet been recorded

Birmingham and Country at Large
 Will Have Plenty of Sugar and Spuds
By JOHN c. MOSES

Birmingham and the country at large will soon have a plentiful supply or sugar, according to wire reports yes terday stating the American Sugar Re- fining company had purchased 100000 900 pounds of the cane product in
 Louisiana. The purchase was aided by tho food administration, and price approximating 6 1s cents was paid. This will allow the staple to be placed on the market at about 8:35 cents, and probably lower later on in the season. Sufficient cars to move the entire crop are in sight.
 Along with this good news comes the report from the northwest that rolling stock is now available to move the potato crop in all directions. This should keep spuds within reasonable prices during the winter, providing
 Hoover can keep the speculator from hording up the supply.
 Business on the avenue yesterday was good. All commodities were plenti- Iful with the exception of fish and oys- ters, but a. new shipment Is due by express. Fishermen have been offered more lucrative positions and have de- serted the HSnlnS DoatS at q time WHeii 1.-the country needs cheap seafood. High CT wages are being offered in an att tempt to fill up crews. Until then, 1t looks like high-priced fish along with other foodstuffs.
 Fresh shipments of vegetables were to be seen yesterday. Poultry, eggs and meats remain at standstill as to prices.

 prices continued upward, due to scarcity of offerings and to efforts of shorts to escape further risks Eastern markets were large bidders for oats, causing the commodity to rise with corn. Hogs were stiff at all centers, causing provisions to strengthen.
 Inquiries from Liverpool for cotton were good prices were firm. Good mid ding closed at 21.12d Sales of sOoO bales were made, and receipts at the port were 14.000.

New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, October 25.-The trend In cotton here today was downward. ai- though there were periods of strength during which net gains wore established. Selling was based chiefly on the idea that reaction from recent advances was imminent, although bearish traders claimed ginning returns were favorable because they were larger than certain private estimates and October notices, amounting to 8l,0O0 bales. were larger than expected, although they were quickly stopped. The net change for the session was loss of 31 to b1 points.
 Around the opening prices were "A to 60 points off, October making the widest loss on few liquidating sales. From this level there was complete recov. cry on fresh long buying, and an ad- vance of Il to 25 points above yester- days close In the afternoon the mar ket again felt liquidation and with 1t some little short selling. Lowest prices were reached toward the end of the session when active months were 3S to 51 points under yesterdays close. De- tober went out at noon.
 The ginning returns of 5,571,6A bales up to october 17 were smaller than those of the last two years to the same date.
 Cotton opened here with reaction ary tendency today. Government gin- ming returns, although bullish by com parison with other years, were somewhat larger than private estimates. and they, with reports of 5000 October notices, caused considerable selling. At the end of the first half hour trading months were 24 to 60 points under yesterdays . close
 A more bullish construction placed on the ginning report resulted in better prices The decline was recovered and toward noon active months were Il to 25 points over yesterdays final figures

 The suffrage delegation returned to New York tonight confident that the Presidents enthusiastic indorsement would have its effect at tho election, November 6.
 SPECIAL SIGNIFICANCE Special significance was placed by many of the New York delegation on the fact that the Presidents advocacy of suffrage had not been affected by the tactics of militant suffragists of the woman's party. The recent defeat of suffrage in Maine was ascribed by some workers as due to unfavorable impression created by the so-called pickets.
 Officials of the National American Woman Suffrage association declared tonight their future plans will be de- termined largely by the New York re- suits. If suffrage carries, they said. suf- frage campaigns would be started within the next year in many states. If New York and Ohio, where there also is to be a vote next month. defeat suf- frage, efforts may be centered on the federal amendment, pending before Congress. A programme will be determ- ined at the convention here, Decent Der 12.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, October 25-A day of profit taking, base on the idea that, as all these frosts and bad weather had failed to att tract buyers at a new high level. the full effect had been felt. The reports of the cotton held back in the south by farmers and merchants also has the effect of ere ating a feeling that at these prices 1t might be for sale in large quantities. Western operators are much affected by this view of the situation. While the gin- ming report was small, 1t was little larger than expected for the period.
 The premium on December widened on the buying of spinners hedges. Crop advices are all of one tenor, foreshadow- ing a crop smaller than the current esti- mates. This has impressed spinners, es- pecially those using long staples, which have been cut off by the frost in the Mis- sissippi valley.
