New Orleans Cotton.

New Orleans, october 2S-The market felt severe selling pressure before the session was very old today and wide de- clines were scored after the noon hour. From a net rise of 36 to 45 points the active months fell to a net decline Of 63 to S points. The close was at net loss of AT to 56 points,
 Conflicting constructions of the political news of the day were mainly responsible for the fluctuations. On the opening the tendency was to buy on what was regarded as a situation more favorable than ever to peave, but later the beafish view that peace would mean a lower range of values for cotton gained ground The heaviest selling followed the report that Austria had surrendered uncondi- tionally.
 The cold weather over the belt Sunday further encouraged bullish endeavor around the first call, but private re- ports later on contended that no frost damage had occurred and these advices aided the sellers.
 It was distinctly a two-sided market. with marked reactionary tendencies. On the close the disposition was to react from the decline just as in the early trading. there was reaction from the advance.

New Orleans. october 2s.-A sharp con flict of opinion was inevidence in the cotton market today regarding the cor rect interpretation of political news. In the early trading the market was higher on the political events over Sunday, but later there was sharp reaction and decline on the contention by the bears that the growing prospects of peace meant a lower range of values The re- port that Austria had surrendered un- conditionally was a feature,A especially that called out much selling.
 On the opening the market was affected by the reports of cold weather in the belt, but later on bullish feeling in this direction was tempered by private messages from the interior stating that little or no frost damage had occurred
 As regards the frost we believe that the official statement that frost was experienced In the central and western portions of the belt is all that need be said on the subject, since private re- ports are always subject to being colored by market views. As regards the er- feet of peace on the market we cannot help thinking that the argument that peace would throw the ocean open to commerce has great weight. because it would mean the revival of export de- mand in the spot department
 Opening higher, the market rose to a net advance of 38 to 45 points, from which level it receded until the trading months were 8 to 68 points under the close of Saturday. New York led in the selling movement. Interior messages said that farmers were holding their cotton on the theory that peace would mean higher prices. The market closed at a net decline of 47 to 5S points.-Shepard x GIuck

PEACE GROUP FARES
 BEST DURING A DAY OF ACTIVE TRADING
United States Steel Was a Puzzle to Traders, Final Quotations Going Off
 About 3 Points

New York, october 28.-The very con fusing tendencies manifested by today S active stock market lacked plausible ex- isting uncertainties at home and abroad.
 War news was again almost wholly favorable to the peace group, but do- nestle politics Imparted tinge of pes simism, which found it's outlet in inter- mittent selling for the short account.
 A general demonstration of strength marked the broad opening, but much of this was dissipated before the expira- tion of the first hour, largely as result of the further spectacular course of cer- tain specialties.
 Chief among these was Mexican Pel troleum, which advanced 111s points, re- acted 20 points and closed at gain of 11a points. Related shares, including Royal Dutch and Texas company were also cratic within more moderate bounds, and shippings and motors proved susceptible to pressure.
 The course of United States Steel con- tinued to puzzle traders, who expected an upward movement of that stock pre- hminary to the presidents quarterly statement. The stock registered frac- tional gain at the outset, declined almost 3 points, and ended at loss of almost 2 points, war shares making virtually no recovery from their reversals of to 2h points.
 More stability was displayed by rails and coppers, the latter denoting confident accumulation, though yielding some or their gains at the heavy close.
 Returns submitted by railroads oper- ating in western and southwestern sec tions were highly encouraging and trade reports from those territories were of an optimistic character.
 Bonds were irregular. Liberty 3lss hard ening after early recessions, foreign is- sues steadying. Total sales, par value, aggregated s7,s50,0o0.
 Old United States bonds were un- changed on call.

Over Stewards Wire

New Orleans, October 28.-News and developments over Sunday were general ly of favorable character in respect to the market. Press headlines sum up the situation as follows
 Germany's fate may be settled Tuesday by the great inter-allied diplomatic coun- cil at Versailles; Armistice terms left to the military; General Ludendorff, mill itary dictator, resigns, which is taken in London to mean Germany's acceptance of armistice terms of the allies. Aus trian reply to President on way to Wasn. ington. Berlin informs Wilson that peo- pie rules Germany.
 What, however, that interests cotton people most, was an article from WAsn- ington alluding to a new American in vention now being used In establishing an effective submarine copd0h In the north sea. This could mean an effective restoration of complete safety of ship ping which, of course, would help the exportation of cotton.
 A rain disturbance passed eastward from Texas through the belt causing gen. eral precipitation, heavy in localities the western and central states. Tenn peratures dropped to near freezing over the northwestern quarter of the belt and went to around 40 degrees into the lower portions of the central gulf states.
 Following several weeks of wet wealth CT, late crop has unquestionably suf- fered from uhfAvorable conditions. Ihdi- cations today are for brief period Of cloudy warmer weather but there is another extensive cold wave formation

ARM|ST|CE TALK. PLAYS WELL INTO
 HANDS OF BEARS
Both Corn and Oats Were Affected by the Trend of Events in War-Rid-
 den Europe

Chicago, October 2S.-The new notes sent by Austria and Germany relative to an armistice brought about declines today in the corn market. Setbacks, however, were partly offset by likelihood of an after-the-war demand for cereals. Prices closed unsettled sc to 21kc net lower, with November S1. .23ss to s1. .2s7s, and December, N.1s5s to s1.19%. Oats fin ished shade to 19c down, and provis- ions varying from 50c off to like ad- vance,
 The Austrian communication had much greater bearish influence than the Ger man note, the significance of which seemed to many traders to be difficult to grasp. Accordingly. weakness which de- veloped at the opening had almost dis. appeared when word came that Austria had accepted all the views expressed by President Wilson. Immediately a sharp fresh break ensued. Selling, however lacked the impetus and there was suf- ficient demand forthcoming to absorb the bulk of the offerings.
 Oats followed corn, but within narrow limits.
 Strength of the hog market lifted pro- visions. Corn weakness, though, subse. quently proved depressing.

 UNABLE ID HOLD ITS EARLIER ADVANCE
General List Closed Barely Steady at Net Declines of g to 6S
 Points

New York, October 2S.---An early ad- vance on bullish weather in the south west and reports of improving peace prospects was followed by very sharp breaks in the cotton market during to- days trading The general list closed barely steady at net declines of 52 to 6S points.
 The market opened firm at an ad- vance of II to P points and before the end of the first hour showed net ad- vances of 32 to A points with January selling a> 30.3Dc and March at 29,S2c or 155 to l1l points above the low level of last week This was due to a renew al of Saturdays buying movement. ow- ing to the unfavorable weather in the southwest where there were heavy rains over the weekend followed by a sharp drop in temperatures.
 There was also buying on more op- timistic views of the shipping situa- tion based on the proposed change in the policy of the emergency fleet cor poration and the reports of easier ma rine war risks.
 There was very little support from the trade, however. and the bulk of the demand was attributed to covering which became less active during the middle of the morning and particularly after the publication of the western belt forecast for fair and warmer.
 The failure of bullish features to in- spire more active or general demand was evidently disappointment to re- cent buyers resulting in liquidation un- der which the market weakened with prices selling off rapidly to 29.15c for January and 2S.64c for March, or about 66 to 80 points net lower on the general list. A rally of 35 to 40 points followed rumors that Austria had surrendered, but was not fully sustained and the market closed within to IS points of the lowest. Business was not general ly active and the wide fluctuations re- flected the effect of comparatively small orders in a narrow market

Uncertainties both at home and abroad figured largely among the Wall street speculators. The peace group was favored most by the foreign dis patches. Marked heaviness overlook the active list during the midsession when selling became more general. Not only were all gains cancelled, but lead CTS were to points under last weeks closing prices, some specialties making greater concessions. Coppers and oils rallied 2 to 6 points later, but reacted again when the balance of the list failed to respond. The closing was heayy

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, October 2S.--tSpecial) The market today was very cratic and finally sold down below Saturdays closing prices. An early advance on favorable political news was more than offset by the fact that the cold wave predicted for Sunday failed to mate- rialize and that temperatures in the southwest did not go low enough to stop the development of late cotton. After the market started to decline there was considerable pressure due to the reselling of cotton which had been covered at the end of the week, and In the absence of any speculat- i've demand. this selling proved suffi- cient to bring about very sharp dc cine from the high prices of the morn- ing. Local sentiment is very bearislf indeed, so much so that there is lit- tie belief among local traders that the actual appearance of peace would cause more than temporary furry
 The south was only a moderate seller today. and there was not the same sell ing from Liverpool what has been a feature recently.-Hubbard Bros. & Co.

 Bullish weather conditions in the southwest sent cotton up early in the game. but the lead did not hold, being followed by sharp breaks. The general list closed barely steady at net de- clines of 52 to 6s points. The market showed continued weakness during ths early afternoon owing to the absence of support and further scattering liquidation. The trade offered very lit- tie support, the bulk of business being credited to covering.
 Corn went down on foreign news early in the session, the staple closing unsettled, Bc to 2Ikc net lower. Oats followed the trend of corn, but within narrow limits. The provision list was bolstered up by the rise in hogs.

over the west and rapid changes are likely. ns
 Our market opened about 20 points higher on December, but the dlsappoint- ing opening in New York deprived the market of buying support in later posi- tions. However. the feeling of optimism soon asserted itself In advance of 20 to 30 points In the whole list. Of course. 1t is being realized that there Is as yet no accomplished fact an dthe bear in- terests are strong and the contest is hard, but it looks as if the bullish turn had come to stay.-John F.
