GRAIN GOSSIP

Herald-The corn traders said the short interest had proved to be larger than estimated and it is expected that it will be a factor until the weather changes for good and Is more favorable for the matur- ing crop. They believe that on any further material advance new selling will appear should prices get near the maxi mum.
 The holding tendency of farmers is making it uncomfortable for some of the shorts in oats The latter have been covering December for several days and closing May to close spreads. There is said to be a large short interest in De- cember which has induced liberal buy ing by locals on the theory that receipts may continue below normal and cash oats are to be absorbed freely.
 Chance of large fall export business against small Chicago stocks affects oats trade. At near 4,500,000 or 5000, 900 bush els of oats the Chicago stores just amount to 14 or 20 days shipping supply. Heavy covering of September oats in past b days was offset by sales of December. Rosenbaum a large buyer of May. Aus trian news again shows an intense peace desire.--Wagner.
 The Snow & Goodman reports that the United States will raise record crop of good corn. Corn pulls now raise the con- tention of late new crop movement. Corn again frightened up and may go to A21 or $l.22. Thursday often brings high day of week.-Wagner.
 Lamson & Co.-Corn looks lower to us. Any let-up in eastern demand for oats would no doubt be followed by healthy setback
 Bartlett Frazier-We are of the opinion that on sharp bulges. profits should be secured. We advise taking profits in cats on bulges.
 Ware & Leland---We believe corn will rise to higher levels and oats give prom ise of making further advance
 Trade quoted down in corn Feature just now is commission house absorption at $1.19 for December.-Brosnahan.
 Chicago-Wagner taking offerings in corn. Bartlett sold.-Babcock.
 Been considerable corn nut into market. Market has not digested it yet.-Babcock.

Hutton's Stock Letter

Another day of acute liquidation. Steel finally gave way. Rails have not suf- fered as much as the balance of the list Union made new low and St. Paul. for the first time in good many days closed without loss The preferred made new low. Distillers and Can and the Tobacco stocks collapsed. As we called attention few days ago, il is not good market 1n which to try to run a bull campaign. Pressure con tinues in Bethlehem. There was no spe- cial reason for today's selling movement other than general liquidation and the closing out of accounts which were bought 10 days ago when word was passed around that bull market was again on. There are plenty stocks that are cheap but as long as they are going 70 be forced for sale in a limited way there is no use trying to buy them un- less one is prepared to hold on for a long pull. People generally believe that the market will be put up for the lib erty loan. It is our opinion that the people who subscribe to the loan are not influenced by stock fluctuations. The biggest buying factor in the market is the odd-lot man.
 With our government in the market for sS, 900, O0,0OO to $5, 900 and the gen. eral requirements of commercial busl- ness. as we repeatedly have said, there is no money available for speculation.

SHARP REDUCTION IN COTTON MARKET
Weak Stock Market Causes Wall Street to Take
 Cotton Profits

New York october 4.-There were today with December selling off to 25.27c, or T points under last nights
 close. That delivery closed at 25.2se,
 with the general list closing steady at a net decline of 45 to 77 points.
 The market opened easy at an ad- vance of 10 points on october, but generally 26 to 52 points net lower,
 with active months selling SS to 54
 points under last nights closing fig
 ures during early trading. There seemed to be an accumulation of over night hedge orders from the south, as we'll as active realizing, but the offer
 ings were well absorbed on the break,
 and the market turned firm on fresh buying for long account and con 1 tinued demand from trade sources.
 Numerous reports of crop deterioration east of the river encouraged bullish sentiment, while there were also re-
 ports that mills were buying spots in the interior. The rally carried prices back to approximately last nights close. with January selling at 25.s5c
 and March, 25.95c. The demand. how ever, was not as active or as aggres- sive as previously, since the publica tion of the governments crop estimate and the market turned weaker during the afternoon. The weakness of the stock market probably increased the disposition of Wall street longs to take profits, while there was renewal of southern hedge selling, which, with general realizing, sent January down to 25.OSc and May to 25.1Sc, or about 70 to 76 points net lower. October sold at 26,O4c or 51 points net lower. Clos ing prices were within few points | of the lowest. Weather conditions In | the south were considered generally favorable and the increased hedge sell ing led to predictions of larger re- ceipts.

New York Futures
New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, October 4.-Cotton reacted from the advance on this market today, but the real selling movement did not come until toward the close, when prices went 6S to 70 points under yesterday s last quotations. Last prices showed net losses of 67 to 70 points.
 While 8 reactionary tendency was dis- played from the opening, more or less steadiness was shown, and, until late in the session, declines were narrow and not well maintained Late in the day the ap- parently unfounded rumor that exports of cotton would be stopped for a period of 60 days was spread and there was a quick break. Around the opening the market was 25 to 2S points off, but from this there was a recovery on which the most active months went 4 to points above the level of yesterdays close. Dur ing good part of the session prices were at net decline of 10 to 15 points,
 Steadiness came from reports of a good spot demand In the eastern belt, the rise of 3S points in spot prices here, reports of large bushes in cloths at higher prices in the Fall River market and cold weather over a large area in the cotton belt with promise of lower temperatures generally in the western belt.

 Average: Twenty industrials S2.45, off 1.04; 20 rails 85.03, off .17.-Dow Jones. Stock Opinions
 Harris Winthrop & Co.,: Money, to our mind, is real case of weakness; traders cannot afford to buy securities on per cent and carry them"
 Wagner: There is no gainsaying that the bargain counter is piled high with choice issues, but investment confidence must be restored"
 Hutton: According to a morning pa per, General Electric will be in market soon for more money. That Is the trou- ble now, more capital required when it is not available. Reading is the one stock which holds up. It is the one stock in which there has been no liqu1- da ton, and 1t is bound to come. Certain rails look cheap. We believe if they are bought and held eventually they will show a profit, but as long as for eign loans are liquidated in volume and the home investor sells out, prices are bound to recede."
 Another small wave of liquidation. talk ing place. No fresh news and no defi- nite news assigned. However, market does not look good. it has no rallying power.-C. c. Smith; H. w. Co.

SICK STOCK MARKET HAS BAD RELAPSE.
Acute Depression in Senti- ment and Prices in All
 Classes of Securities

New York, October 4.-On a pronounced accession of offerings stocks assumed wider proportions today, taking in shares of all descriptions. At no time did the decline meet with more than casual op- position. Sentiment was preponder- antly bearish, and shorts experienced no difficulty in extending their opera tions. There was again no news to ex- plain the more acute depression. Some of the days advices were distinctly hopeful, notably the review of the fed eral reserve board, which emphasized the country's improved business condi- tons
 This was neutralized by August re- turns of some 50 leading railroads which represented an increase of about Sl6,GO0000 in operating revenues, all of which was lost in greater cost of opera tions
 War shares and ndustrials in general displayed increasing weakness in the face of such favorable developments, as the awarding of additional large or ders for supplies by home and foreign governments. Absence of buying power constituted the most disconcerting fea- lures of the market.
 Low records for the current movement, and in numerous instances for years, included representative rails like Great Northern, Chicago and Northwestern, Atlantic Coast Line, St. Paul preferred and Baltimore and Ohio preferred.
 Extreme recessions of to 6 points were made by active industrials such as steels, equipments. motors, oils and to- bacco final quotations for the most part being within a fraction of the days lowest levels. United States Steel re- corded net loss or 25s at 1051, effacing virtually all hast weeks 1O-point raise.
 Bonds were heavy, liberty 31as varying from 99.78 to 99.92. Total sales, par value, aggregated $3r950,000
 United States bonds (old issues) were unchanged on call, the coupon 3s rising 6-7 on sales.
