Market Not Affected by Latest
Overtures-Southern Sell
ing Cuts Prices.

The reports OF German peace over.
lures failed to cause any change in the
general ruling Of the cotton market yes
terday, and prices were generally lower
under continued Southern selling. After
a break from 31.90 to 81 for December.
however, there were rallies Of rs or
so points on covering or trade buying,
with the close steady net points higher
on October and Z to 10 points lower on
other deliveries.
The market opened firm at an ad-
vance OF 10 to So points on covering
and Liverpool buying. This may pos
sibiy have been Influenced by the favor
able war and political news, and there
were some who thought Liverpool might
be buying here against sales In the
English market on the expectation. OF
narrower differences. The early deman nd
was soon supplied, however. by Southern
selling, and the market then turned cas-
Ter under liquidation. There as a break
OF some 90 points from the early hign
level, with active months selling % to BE-
points net lower during the afternoon.
Trade interests were moderate buyers
on q scale down. and continued buying
on the late rally, when there was also
covering accompanied by reports Of g
steadier spot basis in the South.
The earlier selling was encouraged by
the continued favorable weather in the
South. The long range forecast sug-
gested a continuation Of good weather
for the week. ana Il seems the general
impression that the crop is making better
than average progress since the end OF
September figures were complied.

Indications Are That a Great
Deal Of Grain for Specula-
ton Is Being Held.

The favorable war Developments,
heavy movement of corn at primary
markets and lack Of cash demand
brought heavy break IN corn futures
to tho lowest prices Of the season, rep
recenting on October corn loss OF t6Na
from the high level OF the season and q
loss Of 1870 from the high OF the cur
rent month. The break In the market
dislodged a great deal OF speculatively
held corn, while the cash market was
weak and cash corn prices were down
10 to 15c. ".ri
Primary receipts OF corn were heavy,
materially exceeding last year. and II In
stated that the country movement Of
corn is also on a big scale, which Is
taken as an indication OF heavy supplies
Of old corn back in the country. Weather
conditions have been favorable for the
curing Of the new crop and II Is ex-
pected that offerings of new corn for
forward shipment will soon be q factor
In the market. The visible supply did
not increase during the week, but II Is
stated that the number OF requests for

In transit. Firms which reported both
years showed a total of 2s,170.00o BUSH
els, against aS.905,000 last year. an In
crease of 54.3 per cent. This increase
was sufficiently heavy TO show that the
country has been holding corn more lib
orally than expected, and in sense
there were larger supplies available than
the trade had expected. This Is true not
only of corn but also of oats, barley and

evident in the market for coffee futures
here yesterday. Brazilian advices sugt
gested that the German peace offers had
stimulated bull speculation in the pri,

quarter held selling IN check around ths
local ring. An opening advance OF 4
points on September carried that de-
livery up to l0.l5c., which established all
months at the maximum price level,
here, however. and business was almost
altogether confined to further switching
