BREAKS IN HOGS OUTWEIGH ALL
 OTHER INFLUENCES
Upturn in Corn at Opening Due to Announcement That Permit System
 Is to Be Restored
By AsseeIAied Press

Chicago. October 2l.--Severe oreals in the value of hogs more than outweighed all factors in the corn market today. The result was a heavy close, 1A9211c net lower, with December S1.2SA@l. .2STs, and May sLHAG1.215s. Oats finished Itc to 9sqAc off and provisions unchanged to 90c down.
 Notwithstanding that corn opened sharply higher. sentiment quickly re- versed itself. The upturn at the start was due entirely to the announcement that on October % the railroad admins tration would restore the individual permit system for the movement of grain. Through this change of the methods. the arrivals of corn at primary markets was expected by many traders to be much curtailed. Knowledge, however. that under the weight of excessive supplies the hog market was undergoing a big tumble, took the lead soon, as the dom mating influence in regard to corn, es- pecially after word came that hog prices in some cases had dropped sl a hundred weight within 24 hours and that fully le,000 hogs here would be left over to- night unsold. There were also reports that owing to packing house strike at Irdiainapolis hogs at Indiana points were being offered at unusually low figures.
 Oats weakened with corn.
 Provisions reflected the collapse of the hog market. A

Coffee Market
 8v Axsociafed press

New York. October 21.--Apprehension that the labor troubles reported at Santos might interfere with shipments of coffee to this country. combined with a further advance in the Rio market led to further advance in coffee fu- lures here during today's early trading The opening was 23 to 27 points higher and before the end of the morning De- cember contracts sold up to 16.90c and May to 16.S0c, or 42 points net higher. This led to heavy realizing, however. and the market reacted sharply in the later trading with December selling off to 16.56c and May to 16.50c
 The close was 12 to IA points net higher. October 16.75c, December 16.60c. January, March, May, July and Septem- Der 16.52c.
 Spot coffee was reported in fair de- mand at 17c for Rio Is and 25% c for Santos 4s Business was less active than yesterday, probably being checked to some extent by the advance Firm offers included Santos As at 17c to 2S.25c, London credits, and Rio Is at 16Ac, American credits. The early ca ble showed an advance of 225 reis in Rio, but did not quote the Santos mar ket owing to the strike situation Mar kets were said to be suspended, the Sac Paulo railway unable to discharge coffee. Later a special cable was re- ceived reporting Santos futures un- changed to 275 reis higher. Receipts at the two Brazilian ports, 4S,000, Jundi- ahy receipts, 10000.

New York. october 21.-cotton closed
New Orleans Cotton


 New Orleans, October 21.-The contin- ued excessive rains in the western belt and the exceeding strength of spots in the interior caused the price of cotton to soar today to the highest levels ever regis tered in the contract market, October trading up to 3612c as against the pre- vious high level in the contract market of 35.97c, made by the March position last July during the height of the bull move ment in that month. At the highest of the day contracts were at net gains of 90 to 1o2 points and the close was al net gains of 80 to 102 points. Spots were marked up 50 points to 36.13c. but Texas spot markets ranged up to 3S.20c, the highest spot prices since Civil War times. The opening was higher and the market acquired firm tone on the first call, partly because of the strong Liverpool, but mainly because Of private accounts of heavy rains in portions of Texas, Louisiana and Oklahoma, and claims that some sections of Texas were badly flooded with consequent great damage to the crop
 Late in the day runors of the settle ment of harbor labor troubles in New York and of extremely bulish private bureau returns on ginning carried the market 10 the highest levels of the ses- sion
 The advances established on the open ing were well maintaiped throughout the day, recessions under realizing being only narrow.

ALL MONTHS MADE NEW HIGH GROUND;
 CLOSE |S STEADY
Buying Movement Is Stimu- lated by the SensatiOnally Rullish Nature of Spot
 and Crop Advices
By Associated Press

New York, october H.-The cotton market showed increasing strength and activity today with all months making new high ground and with December contracts selling at 35.1Sc- This made an advance of q points from last nights closing quotation and later months showed even greater gains with the mar ket closing very steady at a net advance of 25 to 90 points.
 The buying movement was stimulated by the sensationally bullish character of spot and crop advices. One of the early reports from the southwest said the basis there had advanced 100 points over night and during the entire day advices kept coming in from both eastern and western sections indicating active competition for the higher grades of cotton.
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of 10 to 27 points. There were oc- casional spurts of realizing which caused moderate reactions from time to time but the tone was generally strong on q broadening trade and outside demand, with January contracts selling up to 35c and March to 34.75c in the late trading when active months showed net gains of 67 to 93 points. The close was only few points off from the best under realizing Liverpool was a heavy buyer of January during the early trading presumably to cover the short end of straddles at the wider differences and there was domes- tic trade buying of January and De- cember believed to be against spinners calling

Sugar Market


 New York, October 21.-There was no change in raw sugar prices for old crop, which are quoted at 7.2Sc for centrifugal to the refiner. Latest advices from Cuba said that the weather there was improv- ing and that one central was still grind ing. No sales were reported of new crop although it was said that operaors would probably pay 7Ac f. O.. b. Cuba for Feb ruary to April shipment. while refiners were inclined to hold off and await de- velopments at Washington in connection with the marketing of the coming crop. The board reported purchases of 2S33, ifS bags of Cuban.
 The settlement of the longshoremen' $ strike is expected to relieve the situation in refined sugar to some extent, as there are some sugar cargoes in the harbor waiting to be unloaded The situation, however, is still very acute, with the de mand far in excess of the supplies Prices are unchanged at g cents for fine grant, lated.

Shannon & Co.'s Letter

e New York. October 21.-The market, while showing some irregularity at times as result of profit-takius and some hedge selling, has on the whole been very firm. with prices at new high levels for the movement. Spot advices have been very bullish, show ing that the basis is getting stiffer everywhere and that no questions are asked about the price of desirable grades if the cotton is obtainable. Those who have recently travelled through the belt bring back very gloomy reports of the outlook. and even the most optimistic are reducing sharply their ideas of the crop. It Is believed that the demand will presently turn to the better style of the grades as the supply of better grades is rap idly being exhausted by the heavy purchases recently Estimates of the amount of cotton in the crop that will satisfy contract requirements are sen sationally low, some of them being not over 5.000,000

S. R. Stewart & Co.'S Letter

New Orleans. October .1.-The market held well to a gain of about so points despite great deal of realizing on the advance. Covering strength in New York was one of the direct factors of support
 News in the afternoon press that President Wilson, from his sick bed, had directed a letter to the national indus trial conference in an effort to avert break was given an optimistic inter pretation.
 There were but minor realizing re- actions and the market continued &C., tive and firm into the last hour trad ing to 35.S6c for December and closing at top prices.
 The discount on later positions was somewhat reduced today, butsa real change in relation is not looked for until there is a change in the funda- mental tendency of the price movement. -S. R, Stewart & Go,

Duggan & BOuden's Letter

New Orleans, October 1.-The ex- tremely bad weather in the western belt, coupled with the exceeding strength in the spot department sent the price of cotton today to the highest levels ever recorded in the contract market and the highest levels since the Civil War in the spot department, contracts here went above S6 cents for October, and in Texas the spot markets this evening stand at SS cents and above. While it is quite gem erally admitted that there is a long fn- terest in the market, it seems to be the quite general opinion that for the time being reactions can only be temporary.
 Weather accounts from Texas told Of flooded lowlands, with some rivers at the highest stage since 1913. Private re- ports claimed rains up to six inches in some localities.-Duggan & Bouden.

Playing the Game

Life itself is aptly likened 10 a game.
 To win. to earn and enjoy the fruits of victory, you must play fair.
 Wealth is not the real prize of lie. It is only trophy. a symbol, and may carry with it no satisfaction; indeed, it does not carry with it genuine, last ing satisfaction unless it has been won fairly. honestly. honorably.
 The rules for playing the game are extremely simple. Indeed there is only one rule: Obey your conscience.
 Of late there has been great .dea. of unfair playing.
 There have been wholesale efforts to reap more than has been sown, to set more than has been earned. to tilt the scales unduly.
 It begins to look as if some of the profiteers will live to regret having broken the rules.
 Sooner or later the tabor slackers will also get their just reward
 In seeking to reach success there is only one worth while course to follow: Abide by the rules of the game

STOCK EXCHANGE DEALINGS SHOW
 LITTLE VARIETY
Market Again Concentrates to an Extraordinary De- gree in Speculative
 Issues
By Asssciated Press

New York, october 21.-Dealings on the stock exchange today differed in no important particular from recent ses- sions. the market again concentrating to an extraordinary degree in specula- tive issues. Traders for the long ac- count had an added incentive in the easiest money market this month. Call loans opened at per cent, large amounts being supplied at that figure, which ruled throughout the day.
 The turnover was slightly under yes terday's impressive total, but the num- ber of issues traded in was fully as large embracing a greater variety of standard or representative industrials
 Steels for example were at substan- tially higher levels. United States Steel coming within a point of its high for the current movement on a 2-point rise to 111%. Kindred shares rose to points. steel and electric equipments l to , and leather, food and several of the less distinctive specialties 2 to points. Rails remained in the background, but shippings retained some of their recent prominence at extreme gains of to points, these, however, being dissipated in the realizing sales of the last hour.
 All movements were eclipsed by the further advance of motors and oils.
 General Motors again led at an ex- treme gain of 12a4 points to $40, new high, half of which was forfeited. Mex ican Petroleum also established new maximum at 25SA and Royal Dutch and Texas company bounded forwarded at the end, the latter rising II points to its best record at 229.
 Some of the others, notably Piece Ar row and Studebaker, developed marked weakness after early strength, closing at losses of 1 to points, subsidiaries also reacting.
