RENEWED WEAKNESS. DEVELOPED DURING.
 THE EARLY TRADING.
General Cotton List Closed Barely Steady at a Net Decline of 5 to
 120 Points

New York, October S.-Early rallies were followed by renewed weakness in the cotton market today under con tinued liquidation and hedge selling The general list closed barely steady at net decline of 5S to 12o points.
 The market showed a steadier tone during the early trading. Hedge sell ing was less in evidence than recent ly, while there appeared to be a con siderable trade demand, and covering by shorts reflecting a further technical position after the declines of the past several days. The opening was steady at an advance of to IT points and after some irregularity, active months sold about 39 to 45 points net higher. with October touching 32.35e and Janu- ary 31,35c.
 Last prices were at the lowest point of the day. If anything the decline seemed to be stimulated by reports that the Turkish cabinet had reseigned and some quarters. that improved peace prospects would be considered a bear ish factor in the immediate market. Japanese and domestic trade interests were credited with buying during the earlier session but otherwise demand was attributed chiefly to covering and the early talk of a flrmer spot basis was overshadowed by the later reports of increased offerings and renewal of hedge selling.

PEACE LIQUIDATION
 | CAUSED 4 SETBACK IN VALUES OF CORN
Oats Bolstered Up by Sea- board and Domestic De- manifestations Go
 Down With Hogs

Chicago, October S.-Renewed peace back today in the value of corn, and far more than offset an upturn which had resulted from prospects that the Wash ington answer to the German note would be inflexible. The market closed weak 11ao to 4c lower, with November sl.1S1a to s1.19, and December, s1.1Sa4 to s1.19. Oats finished unchanged to 9sc up, and provisions at declines of 10c to s1.
 Bearish sentiment as to corn did not develop until after midday, and although the effect was radical, appeared to have no more definite basis than a report that the Turkish cabinet had resigned. The new selling movement which accom- panied the report seemed to be asso- ciated with guesses that Turkey might make an unconditional surrender. Swift breaks which ensued in prices contrast ed greatly with the earlier upward course of the market, and with widespread assumption that the reply to Germany would be virtually demand for unquali- fled submission. Buying on the upturn was largely confined to shorts. New speculative selling, as well as unload- ing by holders, characterized the late collapse.
 Seaboard and domestic shipping de- mand upheld oats despite the weakness of corn.
 Lower quotations on hogs pulled down provisions.

DEALINGS FELL ID SMALLEST TOTAL IN
 PAST FORTNIGHT
Attention Centered on Will sons Intention to Make Public Statement Deal-
 ing With Peace

New York, October s.-Irregular strength, much of which was dissipated sn the final hour, attended the mod crate volume of operations on the stock exchange today, dealings falling to the smallest total of any full session in the past fortnight.
 The comparative dullneSS was attrlbut- ed mainly to an announcement made early in the day Of President Wilson s intention to make public a statement dealing with the peace proposals of the central powers after the markets close.
 Interest concentrated to an unusual degree in shippings, trading in Marine, preferred at an extreme gain of Az points far exceeding the inquiry for any other issue. Marine, common, and the 6 per cent bonds also were strong, fore shadowtng completion or the long-de- ferred deal with British interests.
 War shares rallied very generally dur ing the morning from their recent heavi- ness, all the leading steels and equip ments recording gains of to points, with reverse movements in some of the peace issues. notably oils, the latter breaking sharply towards the end.

Over Stewards Wire

New Orleans, October s-Liverpool was steadier today, indicating that good deal of straddle adjustment has been done and the market is awaiting fur ther developments.
 Yesterdays spot quotations from the cotton belt show little change. despite the discouraging reaction in futures which, together with very moderate sales. would suggest a more general resist ance in spots which many expected to be around the 30-cent level. Some re- ports speak of increased bids from the southern mills.
 Another indication of less easiness in spots was the absence of overnight sell. ing orders for the opening. Contract offerings were unusually light which. to- gether with the steadiness at Liver- pool, and bad weather indications, in- yited a better feeling, and opening trades were to 15 points higher with the gain well maintained and a further advance of 21 points soon following. Thf recent extensive selling was bound tt have brought about bullish change in technical conditions and any important developments to invite covering on a larger scale could produce important rallies. Being the basic price for goods, 30 cents is likely to be level that can stand some test. While at the height of the harvesting season aggressive bull ish action in futures is not to be ex. pected as the distribution and lodge. ment of new supply in permanent hands is condition essential to success of support Therefore, many, for the time being look at the market as a scalp ing proposition within moderate range.

New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, October S.--Advances in the early trading in cotton today were replaced by losses in the afternoon. In the morning there was feeling of sat- isfaction regarding the way this coun- try reacts to the German note, but in the afternoon the bear view that the coming reply must be regarded as un- favorable, again came to the fore and, in addition, there was selling based on reports from the Carolinas that mills ill that section were shcrt-handed be- cause of the prevalence of influenza, while bearish Straders claimed that in terior spot markets were weaker At the highest the trading months were 52 to 60 points over yesterdays close

Irregular Strength Developed
 During the Wall Street Session
By JOHN c. MOSES

There was irregular strength displayed yesterday, mostly in the final hour. United States steel and many of the prominent war issues strengthened in the afternoon, few showing gains of l to ? points over yesterdays final quota tions. Shippings continued to lead the movement on further accumulation of Marine preferred at higher levels. De- spite the favorable crop report, stocks reacted sharply on the active trading of the final hour. The closing was irregu- lar Final prices on Liberty Bonds to- day were: 31as, 1G002; first convertible As. f97. 26; second 4s, 96.5S; first convertible 4As, 97.34; second convertible 44s, 9654; third AS, 9690

Cotton rallies were early and of short duration, and were followed by renewed weakness. The general list closed bare ly steady at a net decline of 63 to l2O points. There was good trade buying on the early reaction, while the southern selling was smaller in volume than re gently, and the market turned firmer toward the middle of the morning on covering. Japanese and trade interests were credited with buying during the early part of the session.
 More peace liquidation caused a sharp setback yesterday in corn values. Oats were upheld by seaboard and domestic shipping demands. Low quotations on hogs pulled the provision list downward.

Over Campbell & Co.'s Wire

New Orleans, October S.-While prices were hlgher In the cotton market dur Ing the morning session today, they fell off in the afternoon under fresh dis. play Of bearish feeling over world poli- tics and claims of weaker spot mar kets in the south. Our opinion is that in the end, different view will te taken Of the situation in Europe, while as regards spots, we hear of no pres sure to sell even though spots are at a wide premium over contracts.
 The early advance amounted to 52 to 60 points. The general commendation of President Wilson's expected refusal of Germanys request to open negotiations on the basis laid down caused a buy ing movement as soon as the trading of the day commenced. Until noon it was a very steady market. In the after noon the improvement was wiped out and replaced by a decline of 29 to Si points under yesterdays close
 The heavy rains in Texas caused more or less nervousness on the short side and fear that they might possibly be followed by colder weather caused cover ing. Long distance forecasters have been busy lately with pradictions of much colder weather by the middle of the month, but it must be confessed that todays map did not bear any conf1rma- tion of such forecasts. Still it is hardly to be expected that October can become much older without lower range of temperatures. On the whole, however, the weather continues very favorable.
 Political events of the next day or two probably will have much to do with fluctuations. The market has more strength of it's own and can easily work to higher levels
 The market closed at practically the lowest of the day. net decline of 4S to 51 points.-Shepherd & G1uck.
