Duggan & Bouden's Letter

New Orleans, October 1.-The week closes with cotton selling at very much higher levels than last Saturday and also d distinctly better feeling prevailing.
 The settlement of the British labor troubles brought much better feeling
 to the trade in general as many had
 feared that that strike was going to be
 a long and bitter one. It is now gener-
 ally surmised that the steel strike in this country will soon be adjusted The revival of the spot demand con- tributed greatly to the wide gains in val ues. Spot trading has been the heaviest since the beginning of the war, and sales at Dallas yesterday of around 340o0 bales were generally regarded as breaking all records. Liverpool this week sold 6S.000 bales on the spot, against 14,o00 bales this week last year.
 There are prospects of much colder weather with frost probable in portions of the extreme western belt and these prospects wereN distinctly disquieting to those short of cotton.
 The frost date will play an important part in the action of the market, but should the present spot demand continue, prices will more than likely work higher.-Duggan & Bouden.

SLIGHT CHANGES SHOWN IN GRAIN
 IN CHICAGO PIT
Provisions Varied From 25c Less to a Gain of 32c, While Yongshoremen
 Strike Was Feature

Chicago, October r.-Pre-holiday ad- justment of trades rallied the corn mar ket today from the greater part of de- cline and was chiefly due to favorable weather for conditioning the new crop.
 Prices closed unsettled at E to 3s net lower with December s1221z to sl-227s Oats finished unchanged to 14c higher In provisions the outcome varied from 2Sc loss to a gain of 32c.
 With Sunday and Columbus day im- p1ediately ahead dealers in corn quickly showed disposition to even up commit ments. At first, however, the market de- veioped considerable weakness owing to the cold wave which according to cN- perts came just in time to round out the new crop and to facilitate gathering and sbipping. Gossip was current also that the volume of rural offerings had in- creased.
 Besides more or less notice was taken of the widening out of the longshore- mems strike. On the other hand, as the dav drew to close the attention or traders was focused almost completely on preparing for the double holiday ana meanwhile the market recovered to with . in a trifle under yesterdays finish
 Oats were given a little tirmness as d result of prospective further reduction oA the visible supply total on Tuesday.
 Lard advanced in consequence Of ln- proved cash demand. Meats, however remained slow.

Over Private Wires
shannon & Co.'s Letter

New York, October 11.-A strong stock market with a flood of bullish crop ad- vices and steadiness in rates for foreign exchange were among the influences con- tributing to firmness in cotton today.
 Realizing was in evidence, and there was more or less scattered selling on southern orders, but Liverpool and trade houses were good buyers and outside in terests in the market is broader so that offerings are more readily taken care of weather news was bad as there were heavy rains all through the western belt including nearly seven inches at Lit tie Rock, and predictions are for this to be followed by much colder weather Tn the next few days.
 The demand for spots continues general and it now begins to appear that con tracts for fall shipment have been far and away larger than any one imagined Higher grades are getting difficult to ob- tain and the demand will presently have to be directed to the lower grades of better character. The late forecast for rather warmer weather in the western belt except for frost in extreme north west Arkansas, led to some selling, but there is a strong feeling in many guar ters that the crop is disaster both as regards quantity and quality, and that the producer will prove to have the situation well in hand as regards prices Post & Flagg.

Huhbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, October 11.--Very heavy rains fell over the southwestern belt today. The anticipated frost did not occur The south was good seller on the opening during the early trad ing but sufficient buying from scat tered Wall street interests before the holiday brought a higher market. It is noticeable that just as soon as thls support is removed the market eases off quickly. Sentiment continues to be very bullish on the idea that spin ners will enter the market on any tur- ther advance In this respect 1t is in teresting to note that so far this year our spinners have only bought on sharp breaks and not on advances While the market may easily work higher, there is still the same condition existing as before the last break, namely a dlffl- cult market in which to liquidate any large lines of cotton.-Hubard Bros. and Co.

s. R. Stewart X Co.'S l. etter

New Orleans, October 11-Weather de- velopments over night were fully as un- favorable as had been feared. The map shows heavy general rains over the west ern and central states, ranging up to seven inches. and there was decided fall in temperatures to 40 degrees and below over Oklahoma and north Texas. The weather outlook also is very unfa- vorable. A rainfield is passing east ward from Texas over the southern half of the belt, providing conditions for gen eral rains over Sunday over the cen tral and eastern belt
 The damage and loss of crop by these developments is undoubtedly consequent tai and the yield outlook now is below 100000.
 The next ginners report on october 9 will reflect this drastic weather period by relatively small ginners.
 The census consumption report next Tuesday is likely to show the bullish feature of a rapid gain in active spin dies which is sure to overcome other output conditions in the mills. r The contract market absorbed a great deal of liquidation, selling with com parative ease and ruled steady around g s5c for December, which it held to the close.
 Spots are steady, 31 points up. Middling, 3457c; sales 5669 bales.
 Unfavorable conditions surrounding cotton was increased by the threatened attitude of the longshoremen strike.- John F. Clark & Go.

Oryis Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, October 11.-Under the influence of very heavy rains over large area west of the Mississippi, our market opened sharply higher. Hedge selling and liquidation were sufficient to send prices off from the best of the day The expected frost did lsot ma terialize and fair and warmer weather is predicted for Sunday. with the ex- ceptien of eastern Texas where raih is expected.
 The weekly statistics were bullish. Selling today was absorbed chiefly by sreo ulative sources. The strength Of December is attributed to the trarsfer ence of hedges 10 March and the low grade crop coming cn the market with the high grade contract prevailing the futures markets. It appears now that cof siderable percentage of this crop viii be too low for delivery against tu- lures contracts. Sentiment "amains bul,ish.-Orvis Bros and Co.

 The longshoremens strike and the miners strike in England seems to be hanging over the market at the present time, but it seems very bad Judgment to sell short on strikes, as We have just seen the result of doing so with the late English railroad strike

Thomason- Parker X Co.'s Wire

New Orleans, October 11.--While frost failed to materialze in the belt over night the cotton market found reports of heavy rains in the western belt suf- ficiently alarming to cause a fresh de- mand of importance which carried prices up to very high levels for the week. Following the initial advance of 2S to 54 points, there was considerable realizing and the upturn was checked. Late in the day the market stood at net ad- vance of about s1 a bale. The holiday in both American markets Monday had the effect of increasing the disposition to realize profits among longs
 Private telegrams from Texas and the western belt generally describe the rains of the last few days as doing great dam age. In some portions of Texas, it is claimed that much cotton has been lost through overflows. Little Rock got CT. inches of rain yesterday. and there is little need of describing the damage by downpour. In Texas there were many points which got from 1 to inches of rain overnight. and the effect must have been serious, coming on top of the dam age by preceding rains.
 The market closed at net gains for the day of 1s to 2S points.-Shepard & Gluck.
